But That  Practice Is About To Be Halted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;by Bill Sardi  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Predictions that economic bubbles would pop in an ever-growing Chinese  economy have been frequent over the past 10 years. But prognosticators failed to  realize that Chinese bankers are more conservative than the colleagues in the US  and require 30-60% down payment on home loans. Furthermore, as China captured  trillions of dollars in US money, it set much of it aside to guard against  run-away inflation and to pour into the economy as the meltdown in the US  economy beginning in 2008 resulted in a decline in exports from China to the US.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certainly China over-responded to this crisis and went so far as to  build whole cities that remain unoccupied. However, incomes there are simply not  sufficient for people to move into these modernized communities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China  is cunning. It holds over $1 trillion in US treasury bills that may never be  repaid in full value. It has begun to seek tangible wealth rather than hold US  T-bills and has conducted a worldwide search to buy minerals, oil, unprecedented  amounts of gold in the form of US bullion coins, or to obtain long-term  contracts for the same, and to barter without using the US dollar as the medium  of exchange. Marc Faber, financial commentator based in Asia, says China puts  its money into building infrastructure whereas the US puts its newly printed  money into consumption. American consumption also boosts China’s exports.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What all the analysts missed, while they  predicted the huge expansion of credit in China to result in uncontrolled  inflation, was that much of China’s money was covertly leaving the country,  serving as a counterbalance in its economy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gordon Chang, a  writer and commentator on Chinese affairs, wrote a largely overlooked article  (just 3 posted comments on it) that was published online at Forbes.com in June  of 2011. Chang’s report, entitled "Chinese Entrepreneurs Are Leaving China,"  said wealthy Chinese are leaving the country in droves and taking their money  with them.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; How much money? (Are you sitting  down?) An estimated $2.18 trillion exited China in hidden cash transfers between  2000 and 2008. Whoa! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know the Greeks are funneling their money  into overseas banks, but that amounts to a vacuum of just $16 billion.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; But what is going on in China is a game changer for  the whole world, especially if covert methods to move Chinese money offshore is  put to a halt, as it is predicted will occur sometime soon with a leadership  change and accompanying financial reforms in China.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US has  benefited immensely from the entry of Chinese money into its economy. According  to Chang, in the last five years there has been a 73% increase in Chinese  investment to the United States. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Chinese people  are seen on bus tours in California, visiting real estate properties and paying  the full purchase price in cash money. But just exactly how do the Chinese  funnel their money out of the country? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A US real estate executive  gives us a hint at the answer to this question when he said in a 2009 interview  published in China Daily that he didn’t think most Chinese individuals would  qualify to purchase property in the US "unless the money is already here."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Chinese have had centuries of  practice to side-step government confiscation of their money. One method is to  export goods from China to the US in a shipping container where, in this  example, the bill of lading cites 1000 cases of widgets being shipped. But there  are actually 1400 cases of widgets inside the container. The profits from the  sale of 1000 cases of widgets is returned to China, but the extra 400 cases are  sold and Chinese goods are converted into US money where a Chinese counterparty  here in the US houses it, sometimes in Chinese banks located here in the US.  This is how Chinese home buyers get their cash to buy properties at full price.  Chinese families send their children to be schooled in America, and the money  for their education is already in the US. None of it has been taxed by China or  the US. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Chang quotes economic  analyst Zhong Dajun to say: "We have been working hard to develop the economy in  the past 30 years, but now these elite members of society are fleeing with the  majority of the wealth." "The loss may be even higher than all the foreign  investment we have attracted."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Xi  Jinping is expected to become the next Party general secretary at the end of  2012 and it is rumored that the hemorrhage of money from China will be put to a  halt with economic reforms. That will be a game-changing event.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China averted a flood of money hitting their economy and causing  run-away inflation in part because Chinese entrepreneurs were siphoning money  away overseas. Will a closure of this exit door then result in predicted  inflation? My bet is the Chinese will be smart enough to dampen this threat.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;China has a bigger default to face –  that of the US’ inability to pay back over $1 trillion China loaned to America  in purchasing US Treasury bills. The Chinese know, if inflation drives up the  cost of food that it must avert unrest in the streets. China could be forced to  accept pennies on the dollar for these T-bills and receive its deflated money in  the form of containers of grain and other foodstuffs from the US, who already  supplies China with record sales of foodstuffs now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;China knows it is holding a diminishing asset in US  T-bills. So does the rest of the world. The US economy keeps getting propped by  its lenders. A US default on its debt would result in an implosion of the  world’s economies. At some point the US will not be able to pay interest on its  debt and be forced to default and the dollar will collapse. That day may come  sooner than predicted. John Williams of ShadowStats.com says the outside date  for that event is 2014 (ShadowStats report #414).

Now it seems like the phenomenon has gone  worldwide.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday’s 38 point performance by Harvard grad Jeremy  Lin for the New York Knicks against the LA Lakers was his greatest performance  yet as a starter, since he burst on to the scene and propelled the team to 4  straight wins. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lin now has over 200,000 followers on Twitter. He’s got  over 800,000 on Weibo – including 200,000 new ones in the 24 hour period after  beating the Lakers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there’s more to this story than basketball. This  isn’t just a modern-day, real-life version of the Hoosiers movie. The Jeremy Lin  story is incredibly popular because we can all see a little bit of ourselves in  this man’s struggles and now successes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can all of us learn from  this young man — and how can we apply these same lessons to our own lives when  we go back to work on Monday morning? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1.  Believe in yourself when no one else does. 坚信自身&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lin’s only  the 3rd graduate from Harvard to make it to the NBA. He’s also one of only a  handful of Asian-Americans to make it. He was sent by the Knicks to play for  their D-League team 3 weeks ago in Erie, PA. He’d already been cut by two other  NBA teams before joining the Knicks this year. You’ve got to believe in  yourself, even when no one else does. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2.  Seize the opportunity when it comes up. 抓住机遇&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lin got to  start for the Knicks because they had to start him. They had too many injuries.  Baron Davis was gone. The other point guards were out. Carmelo Anthony was  injured. Amare Stoudemire had to leave the team because of a family death. Lin  could have squandered the opportunity and we would have never have noticed. But  he made the most of it. You never know when opportunities are going to arise in  life. Often, they’re when you least expect them. Make the most of them. Don’t  fritter them away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3.  Your family will always be there for you, so be there for them.  欣赏亲助&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It wasn’t until a few days ago that Lin got his  contract guaranteed by the Knicks for the rest of the season. Before that, he  could have been cut at any time. He had to sleep on his brother’s couch on the  Lower East Side to get by. His family always believed in him and picked him up  when he could have gotten down on himself. That made him continue to believe. If  you want your family to believe in you like that, you’ve got to be there for  them too when they need it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4.  Find the system that works for your style. 发现适己&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lin isn’t  Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. He’s not a pure scorer. He’s a passer and  distributor – who can also score very well. It didn’t work for him in Golden  State or Houston – where he was before landing at the Knicks. But Mike  D’Antoni’s system at the Knicks has been perfect for him to show off his  strengths. You’ve got to do your best to understand what your strengths are and  then ensure that you’re in a system (a job or organization or industry) that is  a good fit for those strengths. Otherwise, people overlook the talents you bring  to the table. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5. Don’t overlook talent that might exist around you  today on your team. 莫错良才&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You probably manage people at  your own company today. Are you sure you don’t have a Jeremy Lin living among  you now? How do you know that “Mike” couldn’t do amazing things if you gave him  a new project to run with? How do you know “Sarah” isn’t the right person to  take the open job in London that you’ve been talking over with your colleagues?  We put people around us in boxes. He’s from Harvard. He’s Asian-American. Not  sure he can play. How many assumptions have you made about talent around you?  Don’t be like the General Managers in Golden State and Houston, and let talent  slip through your fingers. With all their money, scouts, and testing, they  didn’t have a clue what they had in their hands. Do you know what your people  (or even yourself) is really capable of? Take off the blinders of assumptions  you wear when you look at the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;6.  People will love you for being an original, not trying to be someone else.  忠实原己&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You’ve got to be you. You can’t be some 2nd rate copy  of Michael Jordan. There will never be another Michael Jordan. Just be Jeremy  Lin — yourself. Whatever that is. That doesn’t mean you don’t work hard — it  just means you find what you’re good at and do it. Fans will love you for being  you, just like they love Jeremy Lin. Judy Garland said it best: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead  of a second-rate version of somebody else.”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;7.  Stay humble. 避免枉大&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you one day are lucky enough to have  newspapers want to put you on the cover in order to sell more, don’t let it get  to your head. It’s been remarkable watching how humble Lin remains through all  this media frenzy. It makes his teammates and fans love him that much more.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;8. When you make others around you look good, they  will love you forever. 尊重同仁&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn’t know how good Tyson  Chandler was, until I saw him playing with Jeremy Lin. Lin has set Chandler up  many times over the last week for easy dunks because he drew the defense and  then passed the ball. That’s partly why the Knicks are playing so well. They are  all working harder to share the ball with others. And it’s beautiful to watch.  And when the media swarms Lin, he tells them how good his teammates are. Do the  same with your peers and reports. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;9.  Never forget about the importance of luck or fate in life. 不忘感恩&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Some people believe in God, some in  destiny, some in luck. Whatever you believe in, be grateful for it.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;10. Work your butt off. Lin couldn’t have seized his  opportunity if he hadn’t worked like crazy for years perfecting his skills.  不走捷径&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;There are no short  cuts to hard work. Success is a by product of that.&lt;/span&gt; If you’ve got a Tiger  Mom who’s always pushed you to work hard, great. If not, let your conscience be  your own Tiger Mom! Get up early, stay up late. Nobody gave Lin any free passes.  Why should you get any? You can only control what you control and that means  you’ve got to work harder than anyone else you know. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope the  Lin-sanity continues. And I hope we all can apply these lessons to our own work  and family life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There’s a great line from a New York Times article on  Lin and his faith which is worth it for all of us to remember: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“suffering produces character, and character produces  hope, and hope does not disappoint us.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) had a strong  message Saturday for President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,  House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic National Committee Chairwoman  Debbie Wasserman Schultz: “Get the hell out.”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;West made the  comments during a speech at a Palm Beach County GOP event in West Palm Beach.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“This is a battlefield that we must  stand upon. And we need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and my  dear friend, chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them  know that Florida ain’t on the table,” West said.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The audience  was booing by the time West got to Pelosi’s name. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“Take your message of equality of achievement, take  your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the  entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else,” he  continued. “You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea,  you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of  America.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;

text-align: justify;"&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Kai Chen 陈凯 &lt;/b&gt;（Written 4/10/2006, Reprint 1/18/2012)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;　　As people puzzled over the persistence of the Chinese communist regime after the collapse of the communism as an ideology world wide, only a few saw the roots of the Chinese despotism. Many are not willing, some not able, others lacking courage to recognize the connection between the Chinese traditional culture and the current deplorable state of affairs in China. Almost all reject even the slightest suggestion that the Chinese character-based, syllabic language has something to do with the formation of Chinese mind-set which can only be properly coined “complete slavery and dehumanization of human beings”. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;　Some even suggest that preservation of a Confucian culture is paramount in reforming the Chinese society and curing the ills in the Chinese mind. To me this suggestion is tantamount to saying that solution to communist tyranny and dictatorship is the communist party, and the cure of AIDS is introducing more HIV virus. Some, with various motives and deep secret complex, come in a hurry to defend the indefensible cruel Chinese feudal culture. And they defend even with more vehemence than the despotic masters the origin of the Chinese tyranny – the character-based, syllabic Chinese language. The panic feels like as if someone is digging into their ancestors’ untouchable graves. It is as if someone is touching that “sacred cow” in their hearts. No matter how much they hate the Chinese communist party and its despotic regime, they are willing to defend the roots of it with their blood and lives. Sounds comically contradictory, doesn’t it?  Some, even come with more hilarious accusation against those who point out the intrinsic and inseparable connection between the Chinese language and culture with the miserable human condition in China today, calling them “traitors of the Chinese race” and “harboring ulterior motives to demean the Chinese”, and “potential dictators in the future”….&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;Their entire defense not only fails to exonerate the evil culture that has been created to destroy individuals, humanity and freedom, their preposterous accusation against those who see the evil shows exactly how their mind-set of cultural, linguistic and governmental slavery has been formed. That mind-set is the living proof of the existence of evil. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following is a treatise to detail the process of Chinese dehumanization of individuals through this “trio of tyrannies” and an indictment against this evil origin of the complete alienation and enslavement of Chinese mind over their own existence. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Chinese Linguistic Tyranny&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;中国文字语言的暴虐&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Since Chinese society is patriarchal in nature, I will use “man” and “he” in the composition of this essay. This is not to demean or ignore female human beings.) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the moment a Chinese toddler starts to put sounds and symbols together, he is handed a brush with ink as his writing tool. (Nowadays a pen or pencil is usually the case) He is presented with a paper with lines and usually a series of rectangle boxes with four evenly divided quadrants in each box. In front of him is a text of writing samples dated maybe hundreds of years back to his ancestors. He is told that his task of learning to write is first and foremost to mimic the perfect symmetry and forms in those pictorial images his ancestors left for him. During this process of repetition, copy, mimic of his ancestors’ leftover in his initial contact with human knowledge, his own dehumanization against his own individuality has formally begun. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He learns that creativity and initiatives are not important; conformity is. He learns that his own mind is not important; his ancestors’ legacy is. He learns that he as an individual is not important; competing with others to see who comes closer to the original forms left by his ancestors is. He learns that meaning and substance of the word is not important; the appearance - the formation, the image and the shell is. He is further confounded, yet not knowing consciously, with the fact that language is not a tool to comprehend and analyze phenomena to reach to reality, rather it is an artistic endeavor to please the eye, and the others. However, in this supposed artistic endeavor, he is not allowed to create and produce. He is forced to copy, to memorize, to follow… His two hemispheres of the brain are inundated with conflicting input of symbols and images. (We now know that all humans have the same structure in their brains – one hemisphere in charge of language, analysis, abstract thinking, logic, rationality.., and the other art, music, concrete images, creative impulses…) His analytical hemisphere is being force-fed with pictorial images, instead of abstract symbols, while his artistic hemisphere is starved with a strict and deliberate stifling of his instinct and impulse to create. In learning to write the Chinese characters, he is weaving and knitting an elaborate and intricate mesh to smother his own brain, to restrict his own initiatives, to deny his individual uniqueness. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While humans are endowed by our creator to have a unique human quality to create, change and reform our surroundings and environment to serve our own purposes, as a distinctive quality from other creatures, the cruel and inhumane process of Chinese systematic stripping of this unique human quality has effectively taken place with their young, in the form of indoctrination of a confusing and crippling linguistic system. The very possibility of human creative spark is effectively eliminated. One does not have to snip the bud. The bud has never appeared for it has died long before it can ever manifest itself. The very mind of each distinct individual is thus insidiously being forced into a tiny rectangle box from which he will never be allowed to escape to return to his nature of free being. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the time he is taught to compose sentences, he is further stripped of concept of time by a lack of tense in the Chinese verbs. Though the adverbs are constantly put in to modify the verbs, he has been reduced to never have had a strong sense of sequential events according to time. As his study of Chinese language progresses, he has found that he lacks a distinction between individual and collective, for in Chinese verbs there is no such differentiation of plural and singular. “People” can be viewed as something like an inseparable entity while an individual’s uniqueness is severely diminished. Last time I checked, a fascist view of collective as a living entity has the same connotation. He further learns that in pronunciation of chinese third personnel, there is no distinction between genders and between humans and animals or between humans and a rock. The dehumanization process is deepening. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He finds that he cannot read and write to communicate till he is six or seven years old, with barely enough storage of Chinese characters laden with pictorial images, memorized through repetition in his analytical hemisphere of the brain. He is forever crippled in coming up with new abstract ideas. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As he goes further in his study of his ancestors’ leftovers/feces, he finds that he is strictly forbidden from creating any new Chinese character by himself. All 50,000 Chinese characters are all he can copy and use in his understanding of his world of reality, though only about 5,000 in normal usage. By definition, all human knowledge on earth has stopped within the confinement of these 50,000 some Chinese characters. He can only try to manipulate, combine the existing characters to describe what he sees, not to invent new concepts. Thus the primary function of Chinese language is to describe, not to prescribe, is to inherit, not to expand, is to please, not to pursue, is to control, not to discover, is to possess, not to enjoy. the alienation is thus thorough and complete – the tool has become the master to be served with total devotion of chinese human lives. The creators of the language have become the slaves of the same language. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the rigid and stagnant Chinese language in place and in charge, humans are not here to create; they are only here to procreate. Humans are not individuals with indivisible integrity, dignity and uniqueness; humans are only an indistinguishable blob of flesh and blood of fleeting images, banded together by a tiny rectangle box to experience excruciating pain and suffering, much like a contortionist. Conclusion: The Chinese language is an inhuman and inhumane language which only facilitates a perverse dehumanization process among the Chinese masses/population. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In sharp contrast, English, as a multi-syllable, alphabetic language, takes the premise that humans are free and unique beings. Language is their tool to serve their lives’ purpose, not their master to dominate and control their existence. With English language, children as early as three years old can read and write and communicate effectively with their peers. The abstract, alphabetic symbols of the language – the letters can be easily and freely assembled and dissembled and resembled to create new words that represent new discoveries and new concepts. They are designed to be abstract to input information into human brain’s abstract hemisphere. and the meaning of the word and compositions, not calligraphy, is the most important aspect of learning such a language. With this language, humans are allowed to be humans – free, creative and exploratative. With the way human brain is hardwired, there is no doubt that English language (alphabetic and multi-syllable) is a human and humane language. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Chinese Cultural Tyranny&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;中国传统专制文化的暴虐&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the moment a spark of consciousness starts to flicker, a Chinese youth witnesses at first hand, how humans treat each other and how he is treated by these humans around him. Another dimension of Chinese dehumanization process is taking place in his perception of reality – a cultural tyranny starts to dominate his life. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the infant starts to observe his surroundings and tries to make sense out of them, the first thing that enters his mind is the fearsome hierarchy everyone carefully follows and obeys. In this invisible hierarchy, everyone’s identity is predetermined by his birth and gender. He discovers that one cannot open his mouth unless he does so according to the echelon he occupies in this hierarchy. He has to find out how old he is, how much money he makes, what connections his family has in relations with this classification of superiority and inferiority. He has to know his gender stratification, male as always being on top of female. He has to know every title and name in the generation differentiation and address his peers by proper titles and names. He has to know exactly all of these before he can open his mouth. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is conditioned to know that the highest echelon in the hierarchy is the ubiquitous officialdom in the government, and the highest judicial judge in morals and all affairs affecting him is the highest official in this government – the emperor, chairman, president. He now knows that the God in his life is China itself – a nation with a border, a population with the same racial and ethnic features, a way to behave and think – never disturbing the existing order. China is the combination of all the desirable values in his life. He will be dedicating his entire life to this invisible God. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As he continues to grow up and further immerses himself in the Chinese literature, cultural habits and order of things, he finds that he himself as a person gradually dissolved and disappeared in the cultural soup everyone is stirring to cook into a shapeless entity. Everyone starts to behave in the same manner according to this invisible hierarchy, and no one is distinct and unique by himself. For the first time, he tastes the fearsome power of his cultural environment. That faceless everyone is called Big Family which he is obligated to preserve and please. Everyone seems to want to please everyone else and no one however, wants to initiate anything. Passivity is the order of the day and fate is everyone’s master. Learning to patiently live with desperation and helplessness is a must if he wants to survive. And it even becomes an art. He starts to cheat, lie, manipulate, intimidate, pretend… Anything he does is alright so long as he is to preserve and please the big family. Saving face is the biggest concern for everyone, from top down. The Big Family and the government that represents it has become his overlord and his entire individual worth is to be judged by only it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He practices hard to write beautiful calligraphy, for he knows without the beautiful and unobtrusive appearance, everything else is meaningless. One will have hard time climbing the social ladder if one’s calligraphy is no good. The more he self-effacing his own being, the more likely he will climb high. He learns to entertain himself by practicing Chinese violin, but finds that the bow is stuck between the strings and he can only play one string at a time. The music that comes out of the instrument always bears a sad, lonely, helpless tone he can never escape. He picks a brush to paint a picture, but finds that only water color is available. The painting comes out will always be smeared and blurred. The human image that comes out of the water color has no spirit, no deep feelings, no facial expressions, and no passion (not to mention there is no shades and no one know where the light comes from). Even this dubious representation of humans on paper cannot last long. The water color always fades over time. A blurred image of reality for others to guess and feel is the standard of art. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is frustrated, trying to find and etch a permanent mark for himself in the history of China. He starts to read the Chinese classic literatures, for in there he can find all kinds of intrigues, plots, manipulation of emotions, pretentious grace.., widely applied in the chinese officialdom. He attends school to memorize and mimic all the tactics and tricks to use, abuse and manipulate others humans so he can climb over their corpses to advance in this hierarchy. He learns how to mesmerize his victims by pretending to be their savior, making them believe they are all victims of others. Like a king cobra, he wants to desensitize and distract his prey by letting them focus on his beautiful and symmetrical markings, the carefully planned, mesmerizing movements, the ingenious camouflage, and the speedy and powerful strikes. He does not want others to know his nature. He is doing everything to hide it.  He has learned all these through the books he has read and observation he has made and he is well versed in all of them. None of the education process has focused on the nature, the essence, and the substance of things and phenomena. No moral judgment has ever been rendered. So he is not about to start to attract others’ attention on his deadliness and his poisonous-ness. He has become the master of all his ancestors’ teachings. His only goal: to acquire power as much as he can. The more power he has, the more he is close to the omnipotent and arbitrary head of the big family, and the more he approaches God/being God. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, he is very unhappy and insecure, for every step up he climbs, he is losing something - something he could not describe and may never recover. But he somehow senses that something is essential for his fulfillment and happiness. He becomes more and more drained and emptied, but the urge to climb even higher is so great that he cannot stop. It is just like, no, it is exactly like a narcotic addiction. The more you have, the more you want to have, even knowing it is killing your organs, killing your humanity. He now is in the deep grip of a powerful, enticing presence he can never escape without help from outside/divine forces. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the outside help never comes. All the cultural narcotic addicts never admit they are addicts. He is no exception. His mental health starts to deteriorate. He can not distinguish right from wrong, illusions from reality, truth from falsehood, what is good for him from what is harmful…. Yet he continues the path of climbing toward that illusive peak in the officialdom, knocking down adversaries ruthlessly with no mercy. He never feels safe, for everyone else is doing just the same. He is exhausted but he dares not to stop or relax. Momentary reflection of himself scares the hell out of him, for he does not have guts to admit how deep and how far he has embarked on this road of self-destruction. And he knows it is all his making. and relentlessly, the atrocious/miserable/meaningless end is coming. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, a more ruthless and poisonous adversary knocks him off the ladder of officialdom. He falls and ready to give up and die. Before he dies, he curses the enemy; he curses back luck; he curses fate; he curses all others. He even curses the system for failing him, not knowing or admitting he is exactly the essential part of it, the foundation of it. His only lesson from all this is: (and he will tell all his children about it) next time, if there is ever going to be one, I will be more ruthless, poisonous and deadly. In the process of victimizing each other, everyone becomes inescapably victimized. The cycle of men-eating-men is thus completed. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such is a soulless life’s story. Such is a loveless life. Such is a joyless existence. Such is a zombie’s journey. Such is a definition of evil and corruption. Such is the portrait of a Chinese cultural slave - a Eunuslawhore (eunuch, slave, prostitute). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contrast distinctly from this cycle of dehumanization, Christian ethics stresses exactly the opposite of this men-eating. It preaches that every individual human being is an entirely unique universe, a beginning and end in himself. He is not to be used, abused and abandoned as some used-up tools by others, no matter how many they are in quantity. In short, he is not to be a mean to an end, but an end in itself. Because of such an inalienable and inseparable nature of the entity, he is endowed by god to have rights and freedom; therefore, he has the possibility to be happy and joyful. No one, no matter how powerful he is as in the case of a government, should be morally justified to define such a being. He is indeed a sacred creation and only god can design him and make possible for him to discover that sacred design. Bias, prejudice, power for the sake of control and self-degradation are detested in such an ethics and culture. Dignity and respect are coined to depict such a being as unique and irreplaceable. Nothing can be ever justified without his own individual consent, for only he knows his own values and worth. Group and government oppression is viewed as the embodiment of evil. Servitude and slavery is as insidiously detrimental to human mental and spiritual health as viruses and narcotic addiction. Equality among humans is a natural extension in the very fact that each and every one of individuals must ultimately face god and himself, not others and governments. Conscience and spiritual integrity is established in such a cultural environment. Self-direction rather than others-direction becomes the orientation of such moral being. Creativity and productivity, Not robbing, begging, cheating and stealing, flows like fountainhead, nourishing a new generation of such free beings. Values are constantly produced and nothingness inevitably sneered and discarded. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such is a human ethics. Such is a human culture. Such will be the humanity's future. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Tyranny of Chinese Political Institutions&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;中国古今政体的暴虐&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a crippled Chinese adult, mentally and spiritually ill-equipped, enters into the political arena characterized by the omnipresent Chinese officialdom, he painfully discovers that he is further trapped and demeaned by the very institutions his ancestors left to control him. He is viewed as nothing more than a cog on an enormous grinder aimed to mix truth with falsehood, right with wrong, black with white, existence with nothingness. Every ounce of everyone’s individual energy is absorbed and usurped to contribute to the speed of the spinning machine. In the cultural soup it produces, nothing is distinct and unique and nothing can be used as values, particles and concrete foundation to build anything. The only function of such a political machine is to drown everyone with this toxic cultural soup and make him a part of its ingredient to kill still many others. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fostered and boosted by the linguistic tyranny and cultural tyranny, the political machine his ancestors created and left for him is a ferocious and insatiable beast of destruction. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As his maturing consciousness starts to question his own being in his political surroundings, he finds that no one is in charge and henceforth no one is able to change this political environment. Everyone is only operating in it, much like everyone is using the same Chinese characters to write. No one is able to create anything in this political environment, much like no one is able or supposed to create any Chinese character by himself. He is trapped. He further finds that in this political culture, government precedes people. Government is viewed to have existed even before humans appear on earth. Government authority comes from the mysterious “heaven” and it has nothing to do with human beings. So the emperors have all been called “sons of heaven” and everyone who dares to question this order and authority is doomed to “hell” and eternal ostracism. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, the government has always been viewed as parents, and the masses under it have always been viewed as some infantile children in need of care. Government officials are endowed with titles such as “parental officials” and the people “children people”. A person is born not free, but underneath this parental government and the power it wields. Any limited freedom is freedom in a cage, and freedom to obey and conform, for he is reared and raised by the government and the emperors. He has been taught that when the big river has water, the small creeks will flow. Even God in heaven is with a title “jade emperor”. It is the emperor that gives people their clothes and food. It is the nation and government that give people their livelihood and meaning of life. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has read from all the literature that his ancestors have left that all heroes in Chinese history are “nation loving” heroes. All immortals he ever worships are ancestral officials in the emperors’ court. Everything that has any values in China is tied with officialdom. Government and officialdom is not only he depends on for his livelihood, but he depends on for his meaning of life. All the educational institutions have one aim – to produce “nation loving” and “emperor loving” officials in the echelon of governmental hierarchy. The higher he climbs in the official ladder, the more power he acquires and hence the more meaning in life he has. Thus, he stops/kills all his other interests and endeavors and focuses only on one thing – joining officialdom to climb the ladder. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the process of climbing the ladder, he learns further from his ancestors and the knowledge they have left via those rectangle boxes written in those thread-bond books all the official tricks, plots, deceits, maneuvers, manipulations. He is well versed in the spirit all these books and the ultimate message they espouse – “the end always justify the means”. So long as he is for others and for the helpless masses, all his excessive tactics and murderous methods are thoroughly justified. His only slogans in his heart are “loyal to the emperors, loyal to the nation/party-dynasty, loyal to the ancestors and all the language, institutions, culture they have left to him.” &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has learned that the most effective method of controlling the masses with their infantile and meaningless existence is to hold their loved ones, their family, and anything including their own profession they love, hostage. If one offends the order of the court, the entire family suffers, the generations related to the person in anyway suffers. No one is responsible for himself anyway, so everyone else around him must be responsible. Here is the most effective weapon in his arsenal, among others like confusion, fatalism, superstition, jealousy, denial, blindness to truth… Though he himself is subjected to the same control mechanism, he is nonetheless enthusiastically enforcing the order using these means, for the illusion is the higher one climbs, the freer one becomes. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only family is used to be the hostage in this scheme of things, family is used as the very control mechanism to subdue everyone in it. Family has become the very basic unit of the government, to serve the government. The very word “nation” (Guo, Jia 国家) in Chinese is simply composed with two characters – nation and family. The saint of all Chinese – Confucius has long deemed the Chinese moral order to be inviolable – “emperor to subordinates, father to sons”. The bigger the government, the better, and since family has become the basic unit of the government, the entire society does not only belong to the government, it is indeed the government itself. Separation of government and society has never existed in China. Any political order in China is only the extension of personal order of the individual and his identity. An ingenious design it is indeed, by the ancestral saint-Confucius. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the later years of China's modern history, Mao only further inherited/enhanced this very Chinese tradition of building the entire China into a giant prison, in which everyone can be potential a spy to report on others to the authority, particular within the family. So why build prisons to hold those unruly scoundrels like in the USSR under Stalin? Instead, the chinese under mao have followed our ancestors under emperors and confucius: They make the entire society governmental, and make the entire population prisoners of their own family, or their own relations with others. Yes indeed this is exactly what has happened during the notorious cultural revolution. The poison has seeped through every pore of the society and the corruption via total surrender by the individuals is thorough and complete. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America represents the exact opposite of the Chinese experience:  It is based on individual freedom with a solid foundation in Christian faith; therefore each and every individual is fully aware of his or her responsibility to his own conscience and action. Its political institutions are established on the premise of human fallibility and subsequent potential abuse by government and majority. Separation of power, checks and balances within the political power structure, a constitutional base to limit government and guaranty individual rights, federalism to ensure a bottom-up direction from individual sovereignty to local autonomy to limited federal government.., all are the healthy and necessary institutions aimed at expanding individual freedom. Government is contracted to serve people’s purposes, not the other way around – people are subdued to serve the government. Legitimacy, transparency and openness are understood to be the concern of all the individual citizens in their eternal vigilance to guard their liberty and rights against tyranny. American political institutions are human institutions for human interests, freedom and happiness. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Conclusion&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;结论&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over two thousand years ago on this land that humans inhabited, a divergence of humanity began to emerge. In the East over the vast land of Asia, a process of dehumanization started with the unification by an emperor with his swords, bloodshed, and oppressive force over the population on his domain. Through the intrinsic defects of its own language, the facilitation of eunuch official intellectuals, and the state power, human beings had become the subjects and slaves of their own creation. They have been terrorized by the very alienation they created ever since and become deformed humans with twisted mind-set. A stagnant and vicious circular course of history has been the order even today. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the same period over on the other side of the planet, a quiet and powerful revolution to recognize and confirm humanity also began to take shape, championed not by someone with swords, but by a mild-mannered man dressed in rags who never held any official position. A new kind of values was being preached upon the population and into the very soul of humans – truth, liberty, equality, individuality, fraternity, tolerance, creativity… Through the sparks he has ignited, a torch has been lit to light up the course of human history. History would never be a circle to trap humans with their corpses and misery. History started to advance toward life, freedom and joy. Humans are no longer the slaves of their own creations. They have become their own masters over their own language, their own culture and their own political institutions. A liberation of the human souls has enables them to advance through darkness toward better and better future. America is the epitome of this very advancement. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the West, human beings continue to advance along the line of liberty for humanity. in the East, human beings continue to be trapped by the tyranny of their own culture and government. They are nothing but slaves of their own cultural conditioning and tools of the despotic state they have created and passively obeyed. The gap is gigantic. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In view and analysis of what has impeded Chinese society from entering modern history and join the community of free nations, I am confident that these three mountains – the three tyrannies that have oppressed the Chinese people without them knowing the nature of the tyrannies, must be removed before any healthy human institutions can be developed. The dehumanization process via these three tyrannies must be stopped and destroyed. Human beings must be returned to their original form intended by their creator – free, full of life, joyful and creative, the masters of their own environment, their own language, their own culture, their own political institutions, their own fate, their own future. The thorough and complete alienation of individual human beings to their creations must be reversed. The vicious dynastic cycles must be reviled, condemned and eliminated. a society of individual human beings, by individual human beings, for individual human beings must be finally realized. China must join the post-historical America by emulating its examples to release the tremendous energy of human creativity and productivity of its own citizens. Let’s start to remove the three mountains and the tyranny they have imposed on the Chinese people for thousands of years.  Let's start this process from ourselves as free and responsible individuals.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="messagetext" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-6129303066672775600?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/6129303066672775600/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=6129303066672775600' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/6129303066672775600'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/6129303066672775600'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/trio-of-tyranny-in-china.html' title='中国专制的三暴虐 - 文字，文化与政治  Trio of Tyranny in China'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-2404151228494981938</id><published>2012-01-09T08:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-09T08:07:35.538-08:00</updated><title type='text'>新一年的中国面临危机  Happy New Year, China?</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MMAFedb7TkA?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MMAFedb7TkA?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Death by China"  Introduction by Greg Autry&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/254/chinesebuyingtv.jpg/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/6786/chinesebuyingtv.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯博客&lt;/span&gt;： &lt;a href="http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #006699;"&gt;www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Happy New Year, China? &lt;br /&gt;新一年的中国面临危机&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Three questions businesses will be asking in 2012..  &lt;br /&gt;生意人应该问的三个问题&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;By JOSEPH STERNBERG (Wall Street Journal)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the start of 2011, China's growth rate was above 9%. Beijing had  scored a triumph only a few months earlier, at the November 2010 Seoul G-20  summit, in rebuffing Washington's pleas for more action on global rebalancing  and thereby showing that China was an economic force to be reckoned with. As the  U.S. slouched and the euro zone sank further into what now appears to be an  interminable crisis, many businesses assumed China would be a good fallback.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of 2011, the world looks rather different. Now the main  speculation concerns whether China's landing will be hard or soft. Businesses  are newly wary; capital is starting to flow out. This turned out to be a year in  which investors and managers started asking some new questions about China. Here  are three that will be on a lot of minds in 2012: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;•  Will China ever transition to domestic consumption? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Often  presented as a matter of macroeconomic rebalancing, this one has micro  implications, too. When foreigners say they "want China to consume more," they  quietly add "of our products" at the end of the sentence. So far, foreign  producers of consumer goods and heavy equipment have enjoyed some success.  Chinese are buying more shampoo, batteries, computers and tractors as they grow  more prosperous, and some of those products are foreign-made. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But  consumption as a proportion of the economy still falls far short of where it  ought to be, and consumer goods will go only part way to making up the  difference. The real consumption challenge will be services, which also happens  to be an area where countries such as the U.S. have a strong comparative  advantage and could be exporting much more to China. Here Beijing remains  stubbornly closed, not least for political reasons—services can be dangerous to  autocrats for the interpersonal connections they foster, as service-provider  Google discovered in 2010. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;As an added  twist, during 2011 Beijing transformed this from a simple economic matter into a  political credibility test. &lt;/span&gt;The government promised in its new Five-Year  Plan to encourage more domestic consumption. Those who think this transition  will happen argue that if Beijing says it will happen, Beijing will find some  way to make sure it does. But will that hold true for consumption? While an  investment-led growth model provides easy opportunities to pull levers (as long  as the investment is done by a relatively discrete set of state-connected  companies), true domestic consumption puts you at the mercy of 1.4 billion  consumers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;• How "real" are Chinese companies?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This year has seen many  Western investors become newly alert to fraud risks at Chinese companies listed  in Canada, the U.S. or Europe. What started around this time last year as a U.S.  Securities and Exchange Commission fulmination against an obscure bit of  financial engineering—the reverse takeover—has grown into a spate of delistings,  shareholder lawsuits and regulatory investigations amid auditor resignations,  charges of accounting irregularities, and a short-selling frenzy.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This is a microeconomic story with macro  implications. Some of these companies may be outright frauds. But for many  others, a plausible theory is that they are legitimate companies that have  dressed themselves up as "frauds" to navigate China's stifling regulatory  environment.&lt;/span&gt; Such is a charitable interpretation of the most famous  blow-up to date, Toronto-listed Sino-Forest, whose complex corporate structure  may well be designed chiefly to secure its forest assets in China absent normal  property-rights protections. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ponder for  a moment what this state of affairs means for China. Why are its most  entrepreneurial private-sector companies listing overseas at all? Why can't they  access sufficient capital at home? And what does it mean for China's economic  development that these companies find it so difficult to operate completely  above-board? Can a sustainable economy be built on the back of a regulatory  system that encourages—perhaps forces—firms to fudge their books?&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;• What about Indonesia? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;One  surprising theme for 2011 has been growing investor interest in Indonesia. No  wonder, given 6% growth rates and a large potential consumer base coming online  as the economy picks up pace. Suddenly investors seem less deterred than they  used to be by Jakarta's infamous traffic jams and endemic corruption.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The "Indonesia story" is part of a  broader trend, as investors have rediscovered all the non-China parts of Asia.  Thailand is set to throw out a welcome mat for foreign investors as it tries to  recover from devastating flooding. Low-end manufacturers are heading to  Cambodia.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year's anticorruption crusade in India evidences  rising popular discontent with government, which could one day provide an  impetus for more competitive economic policies. Foreign businesses are anxiously  waiting the first opportunity to head to India. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Even staid old Japan may soon be up for a rethink if  participation in a Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal (a last-ditch effort by  Tokyo to revive its stagnant economy) opens new opportunities for foreigners.  All of which means that China can no longer count on being the only appealing  prospect on the horizon.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*** &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;None of these questions necessarily presages a Chinese  collapse in 2012. But they do suggest businesses and investors will be looking  at China with new, more critical eyes in the new year. The most important  question of all: How well will China stand up under that scrutiny?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr.  Sternberg edits the Business Asia column.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-2404151228494981938?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/2404151228494981938/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=2404151228494981938' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/2404151228494981938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/2404151228494981938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/happy-new-year-china.html' title='新一年的中国面临危机  Happy New Year, China?'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-8879115552529642472</id><published>2011-12-28T09:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-28T09:11:19.766-08:00</updated><title type='text'>共产与纳粹的比较  Why Doesn't Communism Have as Bad a Name as Nazism?</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aT4S6BzKFrg?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aT4S6BzKFrg?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;共产的邪恶 The Evil of Communism&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/33/maostatueinnixonlibrary.jpg/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4453/maostatueinnixonlibrary.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mao's Statue in the Nixon Library,  California 尼克松图书馆中的毛塑像&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯博客&lt;/span&gt;： &lt;a href="http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #006699;"&gt;www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯一语： Kai Chen's Words: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;普瑞格尔（Dennis  Prager）的这篇文章分析了为什么今天在世界上人们仍不认知共产的邪恶，甚至对共产邪念抱有幻梦。  我希望人们能在这篇文章中对邪恶的力量与人们的道德混乱有清晰与足够的认识。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dennis Prager's article analyzes  why today people in the world, especially those of left-leaning in the West,  still have illusions about communism and still cannot come to term with the evil  of communism. I only hope people read this article and start thinking deeply  about this crucial issue of our time.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Why  Doesn't Communism Have as Bad a Name as Nazism? &lt;br /&gt;共产与纳粹的比较&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;By: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dennis Prager  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FrontPageMagazine.com | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/542/dennisprager.jpg/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/2792/dennisprager.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why  is it that when people want to describe particularly evil individuals or  regimes, they use the terms "Nazi" or "Fascist" but almost never "Communist?"  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Given the amount the human suffering  Communists have caused - 70 million killed in China, 20-30 million in the former  Soviet Union, and almost one-third of all Cambodians; the decimation of Tibetan  and Chinese culture; totalitarian enslavement of North Koreans, Chinese,  Vietnamese, and Russians; a generation deprived of human rights in Cuba; and  much more -- why is "Communist" so much less a term of revulsion than  "Nazi?"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;There are Mao Restaurants  in major cities in the Western world. Can one imagine Hitler Restaurants? Che  Guevara T-shirts are ubiquitous, yet there are no Heinrich Himmler  T-shirts.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This question is of vital significance. First, without  moral clarity, humanity has little chance of avoiding a dark future. Second, the  reasons for this moral imbalance tell us a great deal about ourselves today.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Here, then, are seven reasons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1.Communists murdered their own people;  the Nazis murdered others. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under Mao about 70 million people died  - nearly all in peacetime! - virtually all of them Chinese. Likewise, the  approximately 30 million people that Stalin had killed were nearly all Russians,  and those who were not Russian, Ukrainians for example, were members of other  Soviet nationalities. The Nazis, on the other hand, killed very few fellow  Germans. Their victims were Jews, Slavs, and members of other "non-Aryan" and  "inferior" groups. "World opinion" - that vapid amoral concept - deems the  murder of members of one's group far less noteworthy than the murder of  outsiders. That is one reason why blacks killing millions of fellow blacks in  the Congo right now elicits no attention from "world opinion." But if an Israeli  soldier is charged with having killed a Gaza woman and two children, it makes  the front page of world newspapers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2.Communism is based on lovely sounding theories;  Nazism is based on heinous sounding theories. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intellectuals,  among whom are the people who write history, are seduced by words -- so much so  that deeds are deemed considerably less significant.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Communism's words are far more intellectually and  morally appealing than the moronic and vile racism of Nazism. &lt;/span&gt;The  monstrous evils of communists have not been focused on nearly as much as the  monstrous deeds of the Nazis. The former have been regularly dismissed as  perversions of a beautiful doctrine (though Christians who committed evil in the  name of Christianity are never regarded by these same people as having perverted  a beautiful doctrine), whereas Nazi atrocities have been perceived (correctly)  as the logical and inevitable results of Nazi ideology. This seduction by words  while ignoring deeds has been a major factor in the ongoing appeal of the left  to intellectuals. How else explain the appeal of a Che Guevara or Fidel Castro  to so many left-wing intellectuals, other than that they care more about  beautiful words than about vile deeds? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3.Germans have thoroughly exposed the evils of Nazism,  have taken responsibility for them, and attempted to atone for them. Russians  have not done anything similar regarding Lenin's or Stalin's horrors.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, an ex-KGB man runs Russia, Lenin is still widely revered,  and, in the words of University of London Russian historian Donald Rayfield,  "people still deny by assertion or implication, Stalin's holocaust." Nor has  China in any way exposed the greatest mass murderer and enslaver of them all,  Mao Zedong. Mao remains revered in China. Until Russia and China acknowledge the  evil their states have done under communism, communism's evils will remain less  acknowledged by the world than the evils of the German state under Hitler.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4.Communism won, Nazism lost. And the  winners write history.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5.Nothing  matches the Holocaust. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rounding up of virtually every Jewish  man, woman, child, and baby on the European continent and sending them to die is  unprecedented and unparalleled. The communists killed far more people than the  Nazis did but never matched the Holocaust in the systemization of murder. The  uniqueness of the Holocaust and the enormous attention paid to it since then has  helped ensure that Nazism has a worse name than communism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;6.There is, simply put, widespread ignorance of  communist atrocities compared to those of the Nazis. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas,  both right and left loathe Nazism and teach its evil history, the left dominates  the teaching profession, and therefore almost no one teaches communist  atrocities. As much as intellectuals on the left may argue that they loathe  Stalin or the North Korean regime, few on the left loathe communism. As the  French put it, "pas d'enemis a la gauche," which in English means "no enemies on  the left." This is certainly true of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Cuban communism.  Check your local university's courses and see how many classes are given on  communist totalitarianism or mass murder compared to the number of classes about  Nazism's immoral record. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;7.Finally, in  the view of the left, the last "good war" America fought was World War II, the  war against German and Japanese fascism. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The left does not regard  America's wars against communist regimes as good wars. The war against  Vietnamese communism is regarded as immoral and the war against Korean (and  Chinese) communism is simply ignored. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Until the left and all the institutions influenced by  the left acknowledge how evil communism has been, we will continue to live in a  morally confused world. Conversely, the day the left does come to grips with  communism's legacy of human destruction, it will be a very positive sign that  the world's moral compass has begun to correct itself.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dennis Prager hosts a nationally syndicated radio talk show based in Los  Angeles.

(Written 3/15/2011, Reprint 7/29/2011) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;从秦始皇到毛泽东，“中国人”崇魔、尊鬼、信邪的病态扭曲导致了一个无限恶性循环的“朝代圈”。 这个邪恶虚无的“朝代圈”是由无信仰、无自由、无尊严、无正义感的人们自编、自进、自欺、自逃而建立的。 同时这个邪恶虚无的“朝代圈”又反过来将一代又一代的“中国人”奴役扭曲为“为社、为皇、为群、为族、为大家”的无灵自阉的“宦奴娼”。 “默默的绝望”是所有以虚为荣、以欺为尚、以奴为耀的“中国人”的必然心态。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;大多“中国人”都认为人是环境、文化、祖宗、教育、政府的造物，而不是上苍的创造，不是有自由意志的存在。 他们看不到西方/美国的“人”是“上苍之下，上苍所创”的真实主动的存在，而“中国人”则是“皇政之下”的“祖先圣人”所灌养出来的虚无被动的“奴”，是一个“被权利用”的工具与可有可无的数字。 这就是为什么那些做着“人上人”的“中国梦”的人们到头来总会发现他们几千年来的“奴主梦”不过是一个人吃人的噩梦罢了。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;许多我过去的朋友同仁也都认为“稳定”、“和谐”、“繁荣”、“富强”是“中国特色”基于族群观念的价值，“不同于”西方/美国的基于个体的普世永恒 的人的价值 – 真实、正义、自由、尊严。 由此他们都认为秦始皇、毛泽东的遗产与形象是一定要褒扬与保护的，是不能没贬辍与销毁的。 “没有秦、毛，中国就会大乱的。” 他们对真实个体价值的恐惧与对未来未知的逃避是他们自身奴役感、无奈感与绝望感的真实来源。 我实想象不出如果今天意大利的人们仍旧将凯撒作为楷模去效仿，或德国的人们仍旧将希特勒作为偶像去崇拜，或俄国的人们仍旧将斯大林作为榜样去追求，世界会是个什么样子。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“崇魔拜权”所导致的一时稳定与强权只能带来噩梦一般的灾难性后果： 纳粹德国、军国日本、共产苏俄都是这种“崇魔文化”所造成的噩梦。 中国的“共奴儒粹”的党朝将毛泽东的魔像顶礼膜拜作为它的强权合法的基点，其必然的噩梦般结局也是可以预见的。 “崇魔”的人们是“无灵毁灵”的人们。 “中国人”今天的不识真假，不辨是非，不论正邪，不讲对错就是这些无灵自阉的“宦奴娼”的真实写照。 在电影“魔戒”(Lord of the Ring) 中，西方/美国的价值文化是要销毁那个象征强权的魔戒，并杜绝它在人们中的邪恶影响与作用。 而“中国人”却一味迷恋、追求去拥有那个象征强权的魔戒，并将曾经拥有那魔戒的魔鬼们如秦始皇与毛泽东作为偶像、伪神去崇拜。 中国专制文化（腐儒毛共）的反价值就此暴露无遗。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;毛像林立、毛钞泛滥、毛语横行、毛尸咒人的今日中国是一个噩梦末日即将到来的垂死党朝。 这犹如一个胭脂遍体的染着艾滋病与梅毒的妓女妄图要用与她上床的人们的众多来证实自身的价值，或一个金粉遍体的泥菩萨试图用跪拜人们的众多来证实它的泥身是真金一样。 真假、是非、正邪、好坏是绝不能用人数多少、强权财富、武力威吓、谎言欺骗而确定的。 有毛像处定无人灵。 有共产处定无正义。 有腐儒处定无尊严。 有强权处定无是非。 有专制处定无自由。 有“中国人”处定无进步与真实。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;毛像不除，人灵焉复！ &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-908895017848083953?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/908895017848083953/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=908895017848083953' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/908895017848083953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/908895017848083953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/kai-chen-on-maos-images-in-america-and.html' title='Kai Chen on Mao&apos;s images in America and the World  陈凯论毛像对美国/西方的危害'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-415768199874592901</id><published>2011-12-20T10:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-20T10:14:35.268-08:00</updated><title type='text'>中国广东乌坎村的不寻常抗争  China's Wukan Seige</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px;

(Source: The Telegraph)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;陈凯博客&lt;/strong&gt;： &lt;a href="http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com/"&gt;www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Stratfor Global Intelligence &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.econmatters.com/2011/12/chinas-wukan-protest-could-beijing.html"&gt;http://www.econmatters.com/2011/12/chinas-wukan-protest-could-beijing.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China Director Jennifer Richmond discusses the recent protests in Wukan, Guangdong province, and the characteristics that set them apart from previous incidents of social unrest in China. (Watch CNN news video below covering  Wukan protests added by EconMatters)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After months of protests in the village of Wukan in Guangdong province, which started on Sept. 21, the situation escalated this weekend when one of the protest leaders died in custody. Authorities have blockaded the village in an attempt to control the situation while a solution is worked out. As China’s economy slows dissatisfaction grows proportionately and we expect even more incidents in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reports on Dec. 14 indicate the village cadres — many of whom left Wukan in November as the protests continued and are now suspected of violating discipline —are being held by the Lufeng City Commission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A common tactic in these protests is to seek provincial or central government intervention. The slow reaction to the protests only lead to an escalation, which is now trying to be redressed with both a show of force and some sort of conciliation to villager demands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The protests in Wukan began months ago when the Fengtian Livestock company and Country Garden collaborated to use disputed land for development. The villagers claimed the land for their agricultural uses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is just one of many protests involving land grabs that have been heightened over the past few years as a result of China’s real estate boom and urbanization, which local governments rely on to boost their incomes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;So why is this one any different? There are several things about this protest that have caught our attention.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First, the duration. The villagers have maintained these protests for over several months. Usually these protests die down when local officials are able to buy off a handful of people or strike some sort of negotiation.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Second, the numbers. Although the protesters themselves only amount to a thousand or so citizens, the entire village of approximately 20,000 appears united in its stance against the local government.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And third, the response. The protests lead to the retreat of village officials and the cordoning off of the entire village from any ingoing or outgoing traffic. Although we’ve seen this tactic employed at least once before in Zhejiang province, it is not common and therefore notable.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we’ve always stated before, many of these protests are local and can be contained locally. Ultimately they pose little threat to the central government. However, we’ve noted several incidents, including the recent protests over a factory in Dalian, where the local government has capitulated to citizen demands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People look to Beijing to intervene against corrupt local officials, and Beijing is often able to shield itself from criticism by setting itself apart from local governments that are most often the targets of social unrest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As China’s economy slows — and we are witnessing a rapidly slowing economy as Europe’s economic turmoil affects China’s exports — protests increase and put increasing pressure on Beijing to manage local uprisings with dwindling economic resources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As similar protests occur throughout the country, and if they demonstrate the same level of solidarity as in Wukan, Beijing will be forced to respond and will do so through a mixture of force and incentives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Beijing mishandles these protests — and the margin for error increases as the protests expand and become more united — the focus could turn to the central government. Further, if protest tactics are able to increasingly force a favorable response for the citizens, they become emboldened. In the end, Beijing will not hesitate to resort to force, especially if the mandate of the Chinese Communist Party comes into question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EconMatters Note: Wukan Village reportedly has become self-governed and completely outside of the central government's control after the villagers kicked out the last government official on 12 Dec.  This is totally unprecedented since Mao took over the Mainland in 1949.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wukan is a fishing village of approximately 20,000, and has now been cut off food, electricity, and half of the water supplies.  British paper the Telegraph so far was the only foreign media managed to send a reporter into the village and described the Party has lost all control in a situation of open revolt.  Any news about Wukan is heavily censored by China's Great Firewall.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-415768199874592901?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/415768199874592901/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=415768199874592901' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/415768199874592901'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/415768199874592901'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/chinas-wukan-seige.html' title='中国广东乌坎村的不寻常抗争  China&apos;s Wukan Seige'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RL496i5kGMs/Tu9ZLdAPSTI/AAAAAAAAAt4/Du6-E4BdRl8/s72-c/wukan_2088972b.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-3721015978472710156</id><published>2011-12-14T08:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-14T08:46:32.297-08:00</updated><title type='text'>陈凯访谈/中国党朝的体育之病态  The Perversion of China's Sports</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px;

 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011年又是大陆男女足国奥队惨败的一年，双双没有进入伦敦奥运会，而大陆男足更是早早的告别了巴西世界杯，目前世界排名72位。如何提高大陆足球水准？中共体育总局副­局长蔡振华认为，中国足球落后是因为"举国体制以及中华体育精神没有延续"。专家指出，恰恰是举国体制和社会制度造成中国的体育落后。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;蔡振华日前对于中国足球的落后谈了自己的看法。他表示，"现在中国的足球水准和亚洲还是有差距，根本的原因还是我们没有彻底职业化。比如原来我们的举国体制以及中华体育精­神没有延续，所以才会造成中国足球全面落后。"  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一位不愿透露姓名的前中国青少年足球教练认为，中国足球落后是因为"普及不够"。他认为，要想提高足球水准，必须真正普及，让足球走进学校，尽管时间长，但会有好结果。日­本和韩国就是因为学校有足球课程。在普及基础之上再特殊培养，从而大幅度提高了水准。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;前中国青少年足球教练（要求变声）："没有高度的普及，乃至于中小学没有足球的课程，中国的足球再奥运战略、再投资多少钱，派人到西方国家我看都不足取，都改变不了中国足­球落后的面貌。"  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;原中国国家篮球队队员陈凯认为，中国实行的"举国体制"违反体育自由竞技精神，是对竞技精神的损害。中共是把选手当作为党宣传、拿奖的工具和奴隶，他认为这是不人道的。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;陈凯："如果把体育看成是为你们国家、为政治、为制度的合法性而服务的话，这个体育就变成病态体育了。就是说当你提出培养青少年的时候，你的前提是为我服务的，这是不可以­的。"&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;加拿大《国家邮报》的一篇报导说，中国是极权主义"金牌制造工厂"、"运动员的血汗工厂"，一些退役体育明星的悲惨生活也证实了这种说法。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯指出，中国要想整体提高运动竞技水准，必须有自由的社会制度。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;陈凯："共产党一定要走开，这个社会一定要成为自由人的社会，也就是说，每个人的自由意志受到尊重，我喜欢在这个队里打，我可以和这个队里管理签合同。我在这里不行的话，­我可以离开这个队。当你形成一个队打球的时候，这个队是非常有战斗力的一个队，因为所有人是愿意一块打球的。"&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另外，蔡振华还对中国足坛出现的假球、赌球现象，发表了看法。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而获得04年"中超先生"荣誉的阿尔贝茨在采访中坦言，俱乐部中有人存在打假球的嫌疑，这也是他最终离开中国足球队的原因。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯："裁判处在一种非常专制的等级文化心态的时候，他脑子里想的并不是如何很公正的对待自己的职业，他想的是如何讨好上边。当你这样思考的时候，其实没有公平竞争的吹哨­了，不可能公平的裁判了。"&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而李承鹏的《中国足球内幕》一书，揭示了中国假球、赌球、黑球以及足坛的重重黑幕！书评指出，这不仅局限在中国足球行业，也是当今中国大陆社会的缩影。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;新唐人记者陈汉 宋风 肖颜 采访报导&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-3721015978472710156?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3721015978472710156/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=3721015978472710156' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/3721015978472710156'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/3721015978472710156'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/perversion-of-chinas-sports.html' title='陈凯访谈/中国党朝的体育之病态  The Perversion of China&apos;s Sports'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-588861326261865831</id><published>2011-12-09T12:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-09T17:05:16.725-08:00</updated><title type='text'>只有“人性”的原弊，而绝无“民族性”的逃避 “Human Nature/Sin and Potential” vs. “China’s People Race”</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;By Kai Chen 陈凯  &lt;/span&gt;12/9/2011 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #006699;"&gt;www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;许多中国人常常将“民族”与“民族性”（People  Race--一个极为病态与怪诞的伪概念）挂在嘴边，使人觉得他们是在用一个根本不能定义的伪词汇为某个他们每一个人都想逃脱而又无法逃脱的东西喷雾水。  说到底，“中国人”似乎永远都在渴望着用群体来逃避个体，用“民族性”来逃避“人性”（Human Nature）中的原弊  （Sin）与人性中的，在上苍的道德指引下的，发掘的潜力与人的伟大的可能（Possibilities and Potentials）。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;人（Human）不可能成为神（God）。 人不可能摆脱自身的原弊（Sin）与“不完美”（Fallibility）。  因此人也绝不应该去寻找/试图建立什么完美社会，或仰望/期待什么完美的人间“救星”（Human Agencies）去解决人间的问题。  基督精神对人性的真实解义与西方的自由理念基此而产生的社会科学造成了今天我们所见的自由社会（绝不完美但永远向前并挑战未知的“创造性”社会）。  道德的绝对（好与坏、真与假，是与非，对与错，正义与邪恶的区分）是指引这些自由社会的基点与指南。  “分权”，“司法独立”，“新闻、言论、宗教信仰、结社集会等等自由/权利”就逻辑地与自然地成为自由社会的，抑制人性中的“原弊”的必要手段与安排。  人性中的对“真实、正义、自由、尊严”的渴望与追求也就因此得到褒扬与扩展。  一个不断向前、不断创新、不断摈弃人的“鬼性与奴性”的、不断接近人的“伟大的潜力”的、充满活力的但“绝不可能完美的”道德/自由社会就此形成。  爱、希望与进步便由于这种有真实信仰的“自由人”对人性中原弊的承认与对人性的真实面对成为现实（Reality）。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/502/chinesechildrenkneeling.jpg/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/8500/chinesechildrenkneeling.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“人性”中有基于人的原弊（Sin）的“鬼性”与“奴性”，也有基于“尊崇上苍”的“神性”与“人的伟大（Greatness）”。  不承认人的“原弊”而产生的“人可以成为神”的病态幻觉导致了中国的人们对“完美的专制”的憧憬与对“人间上帝/救星”的渴望与期待。  每一个杀人无数的中国的王朝就是这种对“完美的专制/人间天堂”的病态向往而产生的。  “跪人”而“不跪神”就是这些拒绝人性的“不完美”与拒绝真实的信仰的中国的人们外在的行为规范。  基督精神中的“只跪神”而“绝不跪人”的道德准则是与中国的人们的病态言行相反的道德/自由社会的基点。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;只有承认人的“原弊”才有可能承认人有“进步”与“实现自身伟大”的可能。  （幻觉能成神的人也逻辑地表明他们可以消灭“原弊”的方式去拒绝个体自由与选择。 因此 否认与消灭人的“原弊”也就必然否认与消灭了“人可以自由与不断进步”的可能。  “能成神”的“中国人”就此造成了一个又一个的“僵死不前”的“自命为人间天堂”的专制王朝。 窒息人性的“尿盆、粪坑、酱缸文化”就此成为“中国人”最习惯的常态。  中国的人们在“温暖发酵”的儒家“中庸”的粪坑中成为了“他人粪便中”的蛆虫，成为了“既吃不好/吃不饱也饿不死”的奴才。  说到底“屎虼螂文化”就是否认“人的原弊”与“人的伟大”的“人能成神”（通过“枪杆子/暴力与修身养性/向善”）的畸形心态的鲜明写照。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;为了逃避每一个个体的原弊、每一个个体伟大的可能与每一个个体选择的责任与必须承担的后果，“中国人”就不遗余力地寻找/制造逃避真实“人性”的各种理念与语言词汇。  从儒学孔教到马列主义，从秦始皇到毛泽东，从传统专制奴役到社会主义/共产主义的暴政，  从“拥共崇毛”的狂热到迷恋“繁荣富强“的当代民族主义，“中国人”在“尿盆”，“粪坑”与让人绝望的“朝代泥潭”中滚动杀戮了几千年。  蛔虫、蛆虫、屎虼螂就是这“永恒杀戮”所必然衍生的产物与怪胎。 “人性”中的原弊与人的伟大的可能被“中国人”抛到九霄云外。  “民族”与“民族性”（蛔虫性、蛆虫性、屎虼螂性）成了人们的口头禅。 个体的生命、自由与尊严一次又一次地被泯灭。  “人”再一次在伟大的“民族复兴”中成为了专制奴役牺牲品与工具。 人的“鬼性与奴性”再一次得到了认同，扩大与褒扬。  又一个崇尚杀戮的“新王朝”正在即将到来的“共后”时代被中国的人们孕育着。  只要看一看今天的埃及或伊朗的“革命”（伊斯兰王朝的复兴）与世界上举不胜举的“杀人王朝循环”的例子，你就会懂得今天的中国正在走向何处。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“民族性”、“民族情感”、“民族利益”、“民族大业”、“民族精神”、“民族崛起”等等大量的伪词汇是今天中国的人们逃避“真实人性”的遁词，是“善走捷径”的“中国人”逃避个体自由与选择的病态人的畸形心态写照。  请记住： 那些高谈“民族”、“民族性”、“民族情结”的人们说轻了是在卖狗皮膏药，说重了是在贩毒与吃人。  他们与孔儒，秦皇与毛共一样，都是寄生在他人身上的“吸血鬼”（Vampires）与吃人肉的“活死人”（Zombies）罢了。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我的忠告：  离那些常将“民族”与“中华”挂在嘴头上的人远一点。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 24px;

Sanders &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creeping up on the outer edges of Wall Street  soothsayers’ economic crystal ball, until now dominated by American and Euro  crises, is growing concern about China. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The inane idea China [and India, which is also in  trouble] would somehow rescue the world economy is now, finally, dismissed by  the pundits — without apologies.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;How a  largely export-led, mercantilist economy was to save the world with its  principle markets in the U.S. and the EU winnowing down was never explained.  Continued wishful references to Chinese leadership’s equally improbable promises  to boost domestic consumption are also falling away.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is, in  fact, a growing consensus the Chinese economy is spiraling down. One respected  Hong Kong economist, Ms. Wang Tao of UBS, is predicting a gross domestic growth  [GDP] rate toward 7 percent before year’s end. That’s below the red line 8  percent long considered by the double-domes as the minimum to satisfy jobs for  China’s growing population. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Soon we can  hope to hear an end to those straight-line projections — so wrong two decades  ago in Japan predictions — which take China’s current world No. 2 GDP to soaring  heights. Indeed, China is the classic example of inadequacies of GDP as an  economic barometer. Even assuming official figures are reliable — which is a far  stretch — China’s GDP has inflated with vast over expansion of infrastructure  and massive corruption indicating enormous activity but not necessarily a basis  for continued stability and growth.&lt;/span&gt; [Remember Euroland’s GDP/consumption  figures before the fall!] Nor do we have more than a notional figure for huge  military outlays. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granted, some of us who have been predicting a China  crash for years, arguing its miraculous transformation was jerrybuilt. But we  have always said what would trip the fall, when, and how the Chinese would cope  with it, is unpredictable — as so many things in life. Some full-time observers  are now turning to the banking structure as chief concern. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Whether you look at inadequacies of Communist Party  decision makers in their see-saw battle to maintain maximum growth but head off  any hint of inflation, a traditional Chinese destroyer of dynasties, the outlook  is grim.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry Lang, a Hong Kong TV personality and Chinese  University professor of finance, recently labeled provincial finances as &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“China’s many Greeces”. &lt;/span&gt;Beijing’s writ — as an  old proverb goes — ends no longer at the village gate but increasingly at the  provincial capital where regional authorities defy the center, desperate to meet  growing resources demands. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Local  politicos have wheedled, persuaded, bribed and threatened local government banks  into credit far beyond their capacity to repay. Add that to the huge stock of  non-performing loans banks give their Party buddies in the huge inefficient  government companies and you have what could be the mother of all financial  fiascos.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Just as politics does  not end at the banks’ doors, the Communist Party is moving into a generational  leadership succession year. In theory, the new president and prime minister have  been anointed. But there is a lot of shin-kicking with the usual Communist turn  to so-called ideological arguments masking personality, regional and purely  economic interests.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A kind of  neo-Maoism has surfaced. And it could take on new life as economic problems  deepen because there has always been a strong Party constituency for preserving  Soviet controls, planning and government ownership. Never mind that the fabled  Chinese entrepreneurial spirit has taken hold with the partial liberalization of  the past two decades. But much of this private sector with its  disproportionately higher productivity was exports now hit hard with the  downturn in the U.S. and Europe.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This has collapsed thousands of private businesses,  particularly in South China’s clothing and gizmo assembly operations, leading to  dramatic literal disappearances of owners and managers and growing unemployment.  This, in turn, has fed already escalating unrest; Beijing has stopped reporting  even the very suspect official figures.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;It’s early on, of course, to predict this would  develop into the kind of provincial disintegration bringing down virtually every  China ruling dynasty through its long history. Still….&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile,  China’s drop in demand for raw materials is already hitting world commodity  markets — iron ore, for example, and soon to be coal and soya.

Chinese Party-Dynasty is no question founded on the traditional Chinese despotism.  Chinese communist party is China indeed.  If now someone still has doubts on this point, then he/she is either a moron or a man-eating monster.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Children of the Revolution  &lt;br /&gt;中共党朝的老子与太子&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904491704576572552793150470.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #006699;"&gt;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904491704576572552793150470.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;China's 'princelings,' the offspring of the communist  party elite, are embracing the trappings of wealth and privilege—raising  uncomfortable questions for their elders..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By JEREMY PAGE  -- Wall Street Journal &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One evening early this year, a red Ferrari pulled  up at the U.S. ambassador's residence in Beijing, and the son of one of China's  top leaders stepped out, dressed in a tuxedo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(Grandfather, Bo Yibo — Helped lead Mao's forces to  victory, only to be purged in the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution. Subsequently  rehabilitated. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Son, Bo Guagua — Graduate student at Harvard's Kennedy  School of Government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father, Bo Xilai — Party secretary of Chongqing  and Politburo member, likely to rise to the Politburo standing committee in  2012.)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bo Guagua, 23, was expected. He had a dinner appointment  with a daughter of the then-ambassador, Jon Huntsman. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The car, though,  was a surprise. The driver's father, Bo Xilai, was in the midst of a  controversial campaign to revive the spirit of Mao Zedong through mass  renditions of old revolutionary anthems, known as "red singing." He had ordered  students and officials to work stints on farms to reconnect with the  countryside. His son, meanwhile, was driving a car worth hundreds of thousands  of dollars and as red as the Chinese flag, in a country where the average  household income last year was about $3,300. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The episode, related by  several people familiar with it, is symptomatic of a challenge facing the  Chinese Communist Party as it tries to maintain its legitimacy in an  increasingly diverse, well-informed and demanding society. The offspring of  party leaders, often called "princelings," are becoming more conspicuous,  through both their expanding business interests and their evident appetite for  luxury, at a time when public anger is rising over reports of official  corruption and abuse of power. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A Family  Affair&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A look at China's leaders, past and present, and their  offspring, often known as 'princelings.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;State-controlled media portray China's leaders as  living by the austere Communist values they publicly espouse. But as scions of  the political aristocracy carve out lucrative roles in business and embrace the  trappings of wealth, their increasingly high profile is raising uncomfortable  questions for a party that justifies its monopoly on power by pointing to its  origins as a movement of workers and peasants.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their visibility  has particular resonance as the country approaches a once-a-decade leadership  change next year, when several older princelings are expected to take the  Communist Party's top positions. That prospect has led some in Chinese business  and political circles to wonder whether the party will be dominated for the next  decade by a group of elite families who already control large chunks of the  world's second-biggest economy and wield considerable influence in the military.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There's no ambiguity—the trend has become so clear," said Cheng Li, an  expert on Chinese elite politics at the Brookings Institution in  Washington.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; "Princelings were never popular, but  now they've become so politically powerful, there's some serious concern about  the legitimacy of the 'Red Nobility.' The Chinese public is particularly  resentful about the princelings' control of both political power and economic  wealth."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The current leadership includes some princelings, but  they are counterbalanced by a rival nonhereditary group that includes President  Hu Jintao, also the party chief, and Premier Wen Jiabao. Mr. Hu's successor,  however, is expected to be Xi Jinping, the current vice president, who is the  son of a revolutionary hero and would be the first princeling to take the  country's top jobs. Many experts on Chinese politics believe that he has forged  an informal alliance with several other princelings who are candidates for  promotion. &lt;br /&gt;Among them is the senior Mr. Bo, who is also the son of a  revolutionary leader. He often speaks of his close ties to the Xi family,  according to two people who regularly meet him. Mr. Xi's daughter is currently  an undergraduate at Harvard, where Mr. Bo's son is a graduate student at the  Kennedy School of Government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“Princelings were never popular, but now ... there's  some serious concern about the legitimacy of the 'Red Nobility.' ”&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Already in the 25-member Politburo, Bo Xilai is a front-runner for  promotion to its top decision-making body, the Standing Committee. He didn't  respond to a request for comment through his office, and his son didn't respond  to requests via email and friends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The antics of some officials'  children have become a hot topic on the Internet in China, especially among  users of Twitter-like micro-blogs, which are harder for Web censors to monitor  and block because they move so fast. In September, Internet users revealed that  the 15-year-old son of a general was one of two young men who crashed a BMW into  another car in Beijing and then beat up its occupants, warning onlookers not to  call police. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An uproar ensued, and the general's son has now been sent  to a police correctional facility for a year, state media report. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Top  Chinese leaders aren't supposed to have either inherited wealth or business  careers to supplement their modest salaries, thought to be around 140,000 yuan  ($22,000) a year for a minister. Their relatives are allowed to conduct business  as long as they don't profit from their political connections.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; In practice, the origins of the families' riches are  often impossible to trace. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year, Chinese learned via the  Internet that the son of a former vice president of the country—and the grandson  of a former Red Army commander—had purchased a $32.4 million harbor-front  mansion in Australia. He applied for a permit to tear down the century-old  mansion and to build a new villa, featuring two swimming pools connected by a  waterfall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many princelings engage in legitimate business, but there is  a widespread perception in China that they have an unfair advantage in an  economic system that, despite the country's embrace of capitalism, is still  dominated by the state and allows no meaningful public scrutiny of decision  making. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The state owns all urban land  and strategic industries, as well as banks, which dole out loans overwhelmingly  to state-run companies. The big spoils thus go to political insiders who can  leverage personal connections and family prestige to secure resources, and then  mobilize the same networks to protect them.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The People's Daily, the party mouthpiece, acknowledged  the issue last year, with a poll showing that 91% of respondents believed all  rich families in China had political backgrounds. &lt;/span&gt;A former Chinese  auditor general, Li Jinhua, wrote in an online forum that the wealth of  officials' family members "is what the public is most dissatisfied about."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One princeling disputes the notion that she and her peers benefit from  their "red" backgrounds. "Being from a famous government family doesn't get me  cheaper rent or special bank financing or any government contracts," Ye Mingzi,  a 32-year-old fashion designer and granddaughter of a Red Army founder, said in  an email. "In reality," she said, "the children of major government families get  very high scrutiny. Most are very careful to avoid even the appearance of  improper favoritism." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the first few decades after Mao's 1949  revolution, the children of Communist chieftains were largely out of sight,  growing up in walled compounds and attending elite schools such as the Beijing  No. 4 Boys' High School, where the elder Mr. Bo and several other current  leaders studied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the 1980s and '90s, many princelings went abroad for  postgraduate studies, then often joined Chinese state companies, government  bodies or foreign investment banks. But they mostly maintained a very low  profile. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Now, families of China's  leaders send their offspring overseas ever younger, often to top private schools  in the U.S., Britain and Switzerland, to make sure they can later enter the best  Western universities. Princelings in their 20s, 30s and 40s increasingly take  prominent positions in commerce, especially in private equity, which allows them  to maximize their profits and also brings them into regular contact with the  Chinese and international business elite. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Younger princelings are  often seen among the models, actors and sports stars who gather at a strip of  nightclubs by the Workers' Stadium in Beijing to show off Ferraris, Lamborghinis  and Maseratis. Others have been spotted talking business over cigars and vintage  Chinese liquor in exclusive venues such as the Maotai Club, in a historic house  near the Forbidden City. &lt;br /&gt;On a recent afternoon at a new polo club on  Beijing's outskirts, opened by a grandson of a former vice premier, Argentine  players on imported ponies put on an exhibition match for prospective members.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;"We're bringing polo to the public. Well, not exactly the public," said  one staff member. "That man over there is the son of an army general. That one's  grandfather was mayor of Beijing." &lt;br /&gt;Princelings also are becoming  increasingly visible abroad. Ms. Ye, the fashion designer, was featured in a  recent edition of Vogue magazine alongside Wan Baobao, a jewelry designer who is  the granddaughter of a former vice premier. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it is Bo Guagua who  stands out among the younger princelings. No other child of a serving Politburo  member has ever had such a high profile, both at home and abroad. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His  family's status dates back to Bo Yibo, who helped lead Mao's forces to victory,  only to be purged in the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution. Bo Yibo was eventually  rehabilitated, and his son, Bo Xilai, was a rising star in the party by 1987,  when Bo Guagua was born. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The boy grew up in a rarefied  environment—closeted in guarded compounds, ferried around in chauffeur-driven  cars, schooled partly by tutors and partly at the prestigious Jingshan school in  Beijing, according to friends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2000, his father, by then mayor of the  northeastern city of Dalian, sent his 12-year-old son to a British prep school  called Papplewick, which according to its website currently charges £22,425  (about $35,000) a year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About a year later, the boy became the first  person from mainland China to attend Harrow, one of Britain's most exclusive  private schools, which according to its website currently charges £30,930  annually. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2006, by which time his father was China's commerce  minister, Mr. Bo went to Oxford University to study philosophy, politics and  economics. The current cost of that is about £26,000 a year. His current studies  at Harvard's Kennedy School cost about $70,000 a year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“'The children of  major government families get very high scrutiny,' says the granddaughter of a  Red Army founder.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A question raised by this prestigious overseas  education, worth a total of almost $600,000 at today's prices, is how it was  paid for. Friends said that they didn't know, though one suggested that Mr. Bo's  mother paid with the earnings of her legal career. Her law firm declined to  comment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bo Guagua has been quoted in the Chinese media as saying that  he won full scholarships from age 16 onward. Harrow, Oxford and the Kennedy  School said that they couldn't comment on an individual student. &lt;br /&gt;The  cost of education is a particularly hot topic among members of China's middle  class, many of whom are unhappy with the quality of schooling in China. But only  the relatively rich can send their children abroad to study. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For others,  it is Bo Guagua's freewheeling lifestyle that is controversial. Photos of him at  Oxford social events—in one case bare-chested, other times in a tuxedo or fancy  dress—have been widely circulated online. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;In 2008, Mr. Bo helped to organize something called  the Silk Road Ball, which included a performance by martial-arts monks from  China's Shaolin temple, according to friends. He also invited Jackie Chan, the  Chinese kung fu movie star, to lecture at Oxford, singing with him on stage at  one point.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following year, Mr. Bo was honored in London by a  group called the British Chinese Youth Federation as one of "Ten Outstanding  Young Chinese Persons." He was also an adviser to Oxford Emerging Markets, a  firm set up by Oxford undergraduates to explore "investment and career prospects  in emerging markets," according to its website. &lt;br /&gt;This year, photos  circulated online of Mr. Bo on a holiday in Tibet with another princeling, Chen  Xiaodan, a young woman whose father heads the China Development Bank and whose  grandfather was a renowned revolutionary. The result was a flurry of gossip, as  well as criticism on the Internet of the two for evidently traveling with a  police escort. Ms. Chen didn't respond to requests for comment via email and  Facebook. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Home Fit for a Princeling : A $32.4 million harborside  mansion in Sydney. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asked about his son's apparent romance at a news  conference during this year's parliament meeting, Bo Xilai replied,  enigmatically, "I think the business of the third generation—aren't we talking  about democracy now?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friends say that the younger Mr. Bo recently  considered, but finally decided against, leaving Harvard to work on an Internet  start-up called guagua.com. The domain is registered to an address in Beijing.  Staff members there declined to reveal anything about the business. "It's a  secret," said a young man who answered the door. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is unclear what Mr.  Bo will do after graduating and whether he will be able to maintain such a high  profile if his father is promoted, according to friends. He said during a speech  at Peking University in 2009 that he wanted to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"serve the people"&lt;/span&gt; in culture and education,  according to a Chinese newspaper, Southern Weekend. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He ruled out a  political career but showed some of his father's charisma and contradictions in  answering students' questions, according to the newspaper. Asked about the  pictures of him partying at Oxford, he quoted Chairman Mao as saying "you should  have a serious side and a lively side," and went on to discuss what it meant to  be one of China's new nobility. &lt;br /&gt;"Things like driving a sports car, I  know British aristocrats are not that arrogant," he said. "Real aristocrats  absolutely don't do that, but are relatively low-key." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;—Dinny McMahon  contributed to this article.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-4213269588623435247?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/4213269588623435247/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=4213269588623435247' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/4213269588623435247'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/4213269588623435247'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/wsjchildren-of-revolution.html' title='中共党朝的老子与太子 WSJ/Children of the Revolution'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-6641830206806513206</id><published>2011-11-22T13:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-24T08:25:12.436-08:00</updated><title type='text'>学会“海中游泳”还是仍旧“在尿盆里扑腾” Universal/Eternal Human Values vs. “Chinese Characteristics”</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W-AbZIClvJk?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W-AbZIClvJk?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Evil is in our every day words and behaviors 邪恶就在我们每一天的言行之中&lt;br /&gt;We let evil pass by without any response 是我们的怯懦与沉默使邪恶猖獗&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Segments of Movie "Gentleman's Agreement"&amp;nbsp; 电影“绅士们的默许”片段&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/198/lincolnmemorialphoto.jpg/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/6235/lincolnmemorialphoto.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯博客&lt;/span&gt;： &lt;a href="http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #006699;"&gt;www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;陈凯一语 Kai Chen's Words&lt;/span&gt;：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;在专制文化中寻找幸福犹如在尿盆中撒满尿冒充大海去游泳、捕鱼、取乐，是一种极度害人害己的自欺欺人。  中国的专制就像这样一个充满尿液的尿盆，传统专制的毒素、病菌、病毒与寄生虫充斥着中国专制祖先的排泄物。  人们自欺地说着这液体也是咸的，只是有着“中国特色的黄色”，只是与外部大海的蓝色不同而已。  殊不知在这黄色的毒液病液废液之中是永远孕育产生不出健康的生命与有希望的未来。 在这黄色排泄液体中只能产生畸形的怪物、幻觉的高潮与污染毒害世界的虚无文化。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To seek happiness in a culture of despotism is like to create an ocean  in a chamber pot with human urine, wishing to extract pleasure in  swimming/living in it. It is an extreme form of self-deception. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China's  despotic culture from ancient to modern is just like such a chamber pot full of  human waste with all kinds of poisons, viruses, germs and parasites.... The  self-deceiving Chinese boast that to swim in such a chamber pot is just like to  swim in the real ocean, for the liquid tastes the same - all salty. The yellow  color is only a distinctive "Chinese characteristic", only different from the  ocean's blue. But what they haven't told you is that in such a "chamber pot  lake", there can never be any healthy form of life, nor can there be any hope  and future. The truth? In this filthy liquid of human waste there have already  been countless deaths, pain, suffering and misery. There can only be perverted  creatures, orgasmic illusions and endless nihilistic pollutant to poison the  world. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 24px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;学会“海中游泳”还是仍旧“在尿盆里扑腾” &lt;br /&gt;Universal/Eternal Human  Values vs. “Chinese Characteristics”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;建立“共后的自由人文化心态”比“倒共”本身重要百倍 &lt;br /&gt;Establishing a “Free  Culture” is more important than “Overthrowing Communist Regime”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“自由人” 对抗“中国人”序列 &lt;br /&gt;“Free Beings” vs. “Chinese” Series  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;By Kai Chen 陈凯&lt;/span&gt;  11/22/2011 &lt;a href="http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #006699;"&gt;www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;许多“海外反共人士们”常常哀叹、诧异中共的“迟迟不倒”。 他们也常撰写文章分析其中的原因。  殊不知他们自身的“用中国的传统专制倒共”的逻辑使他们自己成为了“中共不倒”的主要原因。  他们自身的逻辑与道德的虚无与混乱正是问题的症结，而绝非解决问题的“对症下药”。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当人们高喊“民主”、“人权”的时候，他们从不意识到中共在反国民党取得政权之前喊得是同样的口号。  被长期欺骗的中国的人们自然地会做出一个无奈的但逻辑的结论 – “有什么用？”（言外之意：谁也不是什么好东西。）  迷恋于“追求完美的专制”而从不相信有普世终极的“人的价值”导致了中国的人们对一个“不可能完美但永远向前的‘自由社会’”无动于衷。  甚至有人常常撰文抨击美国的自由宪政文化，指责其“太自由了”。  “太自由社会就会大乱”，“有了枪那还得了”，“我们中国就是要有中国的特色”，“中国人就是要有人管”、、，如此论调比比皆是。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;中共当局也乘机、乘乱、乘糊涂而入，不断用什么“新文化”洗脑运动告诉人们：  世界上没有什么“好与坏”、“真与假”、“对与错”、“进步与落后”，“正义与邪恶”，更没有什么普世终极的“人的价值”。  既然世界上一切都是“黑”的，都是以“强弱”、“内外”、“你我”、“上下”的利益而定的，那一个人的选择就是在“你的黑”与“我的黑”之间，在中国的“邪恶”与西方/美国的“邪恶”之间，在我们的“枪杆子/强权”与他们的“枪杆子/强权”之间。  当然了，在“龙的传人”的道德虚无的心态中，选择中国的与祖宗的“黑”与“邪恶”是理所当然的了。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我常说：  在西方/美国不是没有邪恶，但西方的基督文化告诉人们邪恶绝不是良德。 在一个自由社会中，人们认知自身的“原弊/不完美”也懂得“人是绝成不了神”的。  由此人们从不期待“有原弊的人”会建立一个“完美”的社会与制度。 人们只基于普世终极的价值去着力建立与维护人的“生命、自由、尊严”与“对个体幸福追求的权利”。  基于对普世终极的价值的存在的信仰，西方/美国的人们不断地用“基督精神”的指南走入未知、创造求新、走向未来与希望。 这是一个“方向性的（向前行的）文化心态”。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在中国，人们的文化心态则是与西方/美国相反。  在几千年的“驴拉磨”、“抽陀螺”的“专制朝代文化”的心态中，人们用“道德虚无/道德相对”的心态建立与维护了一个“好就是坏”、“真就是假”、“黑就是白”的“强权/杀人决定一切”的“人鬼文化”。  “繁荣富强”、“为国为民族”、“和谐小康”等“用群压个”“用权压值”“用多压少”“用枪/强欺弱”成了“中国人”的“普世终极”的“具有中国特色”的反价值的病态迷恋。  在中国，邪恶被认为是良德，精明的欺骗被认为是智慧，  “偷抢骗”被认为是“赚钱”，“愤青报国”被认为是勇敢，抄袭、剽窃、模仿被认为是创造，“送红包、拍马屁、受贿行贿”被认为是有“中国特色”的“关系学”，“强奸、诱奸、卖淫”被认为是“爱情”的同义语，没有尊严的“混日子”被认为是“生活”。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;对照一下这两种文化心态，你还能说希望与绝望、存在与虚无是一回事儿吗？  你还能说在尿盆里扑腾的“黄色文化”与在自然界的大海中畅游的“蓝色文化”是一回事儿吗？ 你也可能会说： “有什么不一样？  都是液体，都是咸的，尿盆里的尿撒多了（GDP）人就可以浮起来。 只不过我们是中国特色 – 黄的。” 你也可能会说： “有什么不一样？  在西方/美国也一样：有时左、有时右、有时快、有时慢。 驴拉磨/抽陀螺与‘向前行’的感觉不都是一样的吗？” 最终你也可以说： “反正人总得死。  死与生没有什么本质区别。 下辈子又是一个人。” 无怪乎“中国人”活着的时候好像他们永远都死不了，死的时候又好像他们一分钟都没有活过。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;中共党朝不倒，事情只能越来越坏。 中共党朝倒了，事情也不一定就会变好。 伊朗与埃及就是例子。 共产党曾高叫：  “只要打到了蒋家王朝，中国就会有希望/民主”。 真的吗？！ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;中国的共产王朝就如同中国的历代王朝一样，都逃不过衰败、腐朽、灭亡的朝代规律与命运。  它的末日就在眼前。 一个被蛀虫蛀空的，腐烂的树是没有生机的，必然倒塌的死木头。  像中国专制的许多王朝一样，中共党朝的倒台很有可能并不是由于外部力量的推挤，而是在于内部的腐败与分赃不均而引起的。  这就说明共后社会的心态与价值的准备（“用什么来取代中共党朝？”这一命题）比“倒共”本身重要一百倍。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“中共必倒”这一事实绝不等于说“共后的社会”就自然是一个自由的道德社会。 人们今天更需要将注意力放到“共后社会”的建立上：  但至今我还没有看到一点迹象表明人们在对未来有设想、准备与行动。 我曾在“共后时代的标像符号及语言/一些构想”一文中表达了我的观点。  我也希望更多的人们将注意力集中到“共后自由社会”的建立上。 什么样的文化心态、政治构架、宗教信仰、宪法法律、语言艺术、标像符号等等是人们要从头开始建立的？  什么样的文化心态、政治构架、宗教信仰、宪法法律、语言艺术、标像符号等等是要被彻底摈弃的？  人们是否还想用“追求完美专制”的心态去“自上而下”地“走捷径”而再误入“驴拉磨”“抽陀螺”的“专制朝代的无奈循环”的歧途？  “中国人”对邪恶的无限容忍与对良知真理漠视的能力总是能让我膛目结舌。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;共产王朝比国民党邪恶一百倍。  谁又能保证“返祖复古”的“共后王朝”不比共产王朝再邪恶一百倍呢？  为什么人们总是在“坏与更坏”之间无奈徘徊而拒绝建立“方向性”的，基普世终极价值而在“好与更好”之间做出个体的选择并承担后果与责任呢？  “婊子牌坊”的中间道路是没有的。 你必须选择。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;

An urgent task of an utmost importance in  the post-communist era will face us very soon. We must establish an entirely new  form of government based on an entirely new culture that values Truth, Justice,  Liberty and Human Dignity. To do so means first to establish a set of new  symbols and a set of new vocabulary, possibly based on a new language. It is not  easy but it must be done. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To establish this new culture and a new form  of government, one must have moral clarity and abundant imaginations.  Nonetheless, old symbolism, vocabulary and language that reflect the values of  despotism and tyranny must be replaced by a new set of symbols and vocabulary,  by a new language that reflects human yearning for freedom and happiness. And  this must be done as soon as possible.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*********************************************** &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;By Kai Chen 陈凯&lt;/span&gt; (Reprint 7/20/2011)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We can all sense the coming demise of  the Chinese communist regime. And they, the communists themselves, know as well  that their reign of tyranny is coming to an end soon. We must now ask ourselves  that whether or not we are ready for a new society, a new set of human values,  an entirely new kind of culture and an entirely new form of government. We must  ask ourselves whether or not our own mind is still controlled by the old  symbols, old vocabulary, old language, old habits and old patterns of behavior.  [b]If we are not aware of the fact that the poisons in us by our slave masters  from the past still effect the way we think and behave, we are doomed to repeat  the history. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I now want to establish a survey here to arouse your own  imagination, to challenge your own old habits, to question your own mindset and  to cleanse your own cultural poisons by generations and dynasties of despotism.  By doing so, you may start a new culture yourself here. You may live in a new  state of consciousness. You may finally embark on your own journey, away from  the vicious Chinese dynastic cycles, toward human dignity, human freedom and  human happiness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best. Kai Chen 陈凯  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"&gt;下面就是新标像符号与语言词汇的普查  (请贴回复）：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following is a survey, as well as my own view,  on what you would like to establish in terms of symbolism and language in the  post-communist era: (You can post your response) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 24px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;新标像符号及语言词汇： &lt;br /&gt;NEW VOCABULARY, NEW SYMBOLS, NEW  LANGUAGE:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. 国号： &lt;br /&gt;The  New Nation's Title: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Own View: United Federation of East Asia  (UFEA) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;东亚联邦 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. 国歌： &lt;br /&gt;The New  Nation's National Anthem: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Own View: It must be newly composed.  It must reflect the meaning and values of the new nation -- freedom, human  yearning for dignity and happiness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;新国歌必须反映自由，尊严与人的幸福的终极价值。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3. 国旗： &lt;br /&gt;The New National Flag:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Own View: It must reflect the values of Freedom (color blue  must be added). It must reject despotic unity and social hierarchy (no big and  small stars). It must reject racism (no color yellow) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;象征自由的蓝色一定要有。  反映等级与专制大一统的标志（大小）一定要拒绝。 反映种族主义与狭隘族群心态的标志（黄色）一定要拒绝。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. 政府建筑： &lt;br /&gt;Governmental Structures:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Own View: New governmental structures must be built to reflect  the principles of "Separation of Powers" and "Checks and Balances" within the  government. Absolutely no past palaces and old structures can be used for new  government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;新的政府一定不能在旧宫殿与旧政府建筑中执政。 新政府建筑一定要体现新的分权，相互制约与服务于人的基本原则。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5. 天安门广场： &lt;br /&gt;Tiananmen Square in  Beijing: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Own View: Old communist symbols on the square must be  entirely eliminated. Tiananmen Gate can only be part of the old museum and can  not be used for political purposes. Tiananmen Square must be a giant garden and  lawn for people to enjoy life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;天安门广场上的共产时期的标像符号一定要被销毁。  天安门城楼将被立法成为非政治文物，成为只是故宫博物院的一部分。 天安门广场将被改为一个大花园与草坪供人们休闲消遣。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;6. 法律与教育语言： &lt;br /&gt;Language to Establish the Constitution  and laws. Language for a Foundation of New Educational System: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My  Own View: Constitutions and laws must be written first in English and any  confusion in the vocabulary must be clarified by English first. English must be  the base language in reestablishing the educational system. Chinese language  must be secondary and gradually fade away to become only an art form.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;以英文为底书写宪法与法律，以英文为底建立新的教育系统。 中文将逐渐从社会中淡化，至终只淡化为一种艺术。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;7. 新标像符号取代旧标像符号： &lt;br /&gt;New Symbolism Replacing Old  Symbolism: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Own View: The Chinese Statue of Liberty in 1989  should be the new symbol on Tiananmen Square and nation-wide in general. New  symbols reflecting Truth, Justice, Liberty and Human Dignity, such as statues,  arts, buildings, etc. must be erected nation-wide. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1989  的天安门自由女神像一定要成为在东亚大陆上人们新价值的标志。 反映真理，正义，自由与人的尊严的雕像，艺术与建筑一定要在东亚大陆各地大量广泛地建立。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;8. 各独立联邦体自立称号，自立标像符号： &lt;br /&gt;Each Political  Entities Establish Their Own Symbolism: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My View: Each political  entity under the constitution within the Federation must be independent to  establish their own set of symbols such as anthems, songs, flowers, animal,  flags, etc.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;各入联体将独立建立代表自己的标像符号，包括歌曲，旗帜，花，动物等等。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;9. 禁毛像与共产标像符号： &lt;br /&gt;Ban Mao's Image and Communist  Symbols:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;立法宣布在公共场合展示毛像及共产标志（如镰刀斧头，中共国旗等等）为非法，如同今日德国立法宣布在公共场合展示希特勒像与纳粹符为非法一样。  &lt;br /&gt;The new nation's legislature should legislate to ban public display of Mao's  image and symbols of communism such as sickle and hammer/communist regime's  flag. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My View: The new nation's citizens will be fined or  sentenced to public services for displaying Mao's image and communist symbols.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;新国度的个体如在公共场合展示毛像与共产标志应按法律受到罚款、劳役服务等处罚。 &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-6641830206806513206?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/6641830206806513206/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=6641830206806513206' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/6641830206806513206'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/6641830206806513206'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/universaleternal-human-values-vs.html' title='学会“海中游泳”还是仍旧“在尿盆里扑腾” Universal/Eternal Human Values vs. “Chinese Characteristics”'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-3154341852961331497</id><published>2011-11-19T14:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-19T15:18:45.119-08:00</updated><title type='text'>美国情报局/中共已成为对美最大的威胁 China deemed biggest threat to U.S.</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/525/jamesclapper.jpg/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/4450/jamesclapper.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Director of US National Intelligence James  Clapper&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In candid testimony before the Senate Armed Services  Committee, Mr. Clapper said he considered China the most significant threat  among nation states, with Russia posing the second-greatest threat. He later  clarified the comments by saying he did not assess that China or Russia had the  intention to launch an attack on the United States. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The testimony  contrasts with statements by Obama administration officials who have sought to  highlight the dangers of Iran and North Korea while paying less attention to  China and Russia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mr. Clapper said he  does not assess that North Korea and Iran pose greater strategic threats because  they lack the forces that Russia and China have that could deliver a nuclear  attack on the United States.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;North Korea has tested at least  twice a multistaged long-range missile capable of hitting the United States. On  Tuesday, Sen. James M. Inhofe, Oklahoma Republican, told a conference in  Washington that analysts estimate that Iran would be able to deliver a payload  by missile to the U.S. East Coast by 2015. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Asked by Sen. Joe Manchin III, West Virginia Democrat,  what country he viewed as the greatest adversary of the United States, Mr.  Clapper said: “Probably China, if the question is pick one nation state.”&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;He added, “We have a treaty, the New  START treaty, with the Russians. I guess I would rank them a little lower  because we don’t have such a treaty with the Chinese.”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China,  according to successive Pentagon reports to Congress, is building up its  strategic nuclear forces and has spurned offers from the administration to begin  talks on nuclear arms, missile defenses, space and cyberweapons, as well as an  international agreement to limit the production of fissile material. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On  Libya, Mr. Clapper said besieged leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi likely will prevail  in his regime’s battle against rebel forces. He also said the North African  state may break into three republics or, in a worst-case scenario, descend into  a lawless state like Somalia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That view appears at odds with the  position of the White House. President Obama has said Col. Gadhafi should resign  from power. This week, senior U.S. officials also suggested that a U.N. Security  Council resolution on Libya would not prohibit the transfer of arms to the  rebels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Clapper’s Libya remarks along with his assessment of the  China threat earned him rebukes from some senators. In an interview with Fox  News, Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, said Mr. Clapper should  step down or be fired for saying in a public forum that Col. Gadhafi would  prevail over the rebels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the hearing, Sen. Carl Levin, Michigan  Democrat and committee chairman, said he was “surprised” by Mr. Clapper’s  statement on China. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;After Mr. Clapper  clarified that he was speaking about capabilities and not intentions, Mr. Levin  said, “I was just as surprised by that answer as your first answer. You’re  saying that China now has the intent to be a mortal adversary of the United  States?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Clapper responded, “Well the question is who, from my  vantage, from among the nation states who would pose potentially the greatest  [threat] if I had to pick one country, which I am loathe to do because I am more  of the mind to consider their capabilities, both Russia and China potentially  represent a broad threat to the United States. I don’t think either country  today has the intent to mortally attack us.”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Defense officials  have acknowledged that U.S. intelligence agencies have underestimated China's  military capabilities. But the intelligence community is beginning to express  more concerns about China's military buildup, which has been carried out largely  in secret. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Army Lt. Gen. Ronald L. Burgess Jr., the Defense Intelligence  Agency director, appeared with Mr. Clapper and agreed that China’s power  projection is growing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“While remaining focused on Taiwan as a primary  mission, China will, by 2020, lay the foundation for a force able to accomplish  broader and regional global objectives,” he said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gen. Burgess said  China's military “continues to face deficiencies in interservice cooperation and  actual experience in joint exercises and combat operations.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“China’s leaders continue to stress asymmetric  strategies to leverage China’s advantage while exploiting potential opponents’  perceived vulnerabilities,” the general said.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;One asymmetric strategy China is pursuing is the use  of computer-based cyberprobes into U.S. classified computer networks. Mr.  Clapper said the cyber-activity is a “formidable concern.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Chinese  have made a substantial investment in this area, they have a very large  organization devoted to it and they’re pretty aggressive,” Mr. Clapper said.  “This is just another way in which they glean information about us and collect  on us for technology purposes, so it’s a very formidable concern.”&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the hearing, Mr. Clapper stressed that Iran’s supreme leader had not  given the order to produce nuclear weapons in Iran. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The comments on  Iran’s nuclear program appeared to support a 2007 National Intelligence Estimate  that said Iran halted work on nuclear weapons in 2003. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last month, a CIA  report to Congress dropped language from two previous reports that said Iran was  keeping open its option to build nuclear weapons, as the National Intelligence  Council recently notified Congress that it had altered the 2007 estimate.  Officials declined to specify what was changed because the revision was  classified. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gen. Burgess said Iran is helping terrorists train and  obtain weapons. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“At Iran’s behest, Lebanese Hezbollah provides Iraqi  insurgents with weapons and training to attack U.S. forces. Iran also provides  weapons, explosives and munitions to insurgents in Afghanistan.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;©  Copyright 2011 The Washington Times, LLC.

They often brag that this is the Chinese cultural difference  from that of the West. They have yet to realize that it is indeed this fake  pride that dooms the Chinese into the abyss of despotism and slavery, that  indeed it is this fake pride that dooms the Chinese into an eternal "man-eating"  dynastic cycle. A zombie-like, blood-sucking slave loyal only to the institution  of state-slavery has long been the essential identity for most Chinese.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Dear Visitors:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Have you thought about the roots of the Chinese  despotism and why it has lasted so long? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who refuse to admit  the Chinese culture is essentially evil, I want to ask you this question: "Why  does a good culture, as you claim Chinese culture is, always eliminate good  people and retain bad people via a vicious cultural selection process??" If the  Chinese culture is as good as you claim, why are you unable to return to your  homeland? Why do those who remain on the mainland of China lack essential moral  fibers a normal human being should have? Why do the Chinese dynasties, including  the current communist dynasty, decline one after another, year after year? Why  does the Chinese society keep deteriorating to today's state composed of only  zombies? Why are the Chinese unable to escape from the traps set up by their own  ancestors? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unless you honestly answer those questions, you will not  truly understand yourself, and you will not understand the necessary connection  between the first Qin Emperor and Mao, between the old-man dominated Chinese  family and despotic tyranny in China, between monkey brain banquet and  man-eating-man in society, between bear bile farming and human organ  harvesting....

It takes a  great man to recognize greatness; it takes a small man to deny greatness. To  recognize greatness around you is to allow yourself to be great; to deny  greatness around you is to deny and destroy your own greatness. True greatness,  like goodness, will manifest itself no matter what. Be brave and prepared to be  great yourself, if you don't see any greatness around you."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;只有真实的和道德的才可能是伟大的。 只有人的伟大才能去承认伟大本身；一个小人往往去否认伟大。  承认你存在周围的伟大其实是允许你自身伟大的可能；否认你存在周围的伟大其实是否认与毁灭你自身伟大的可能 。 真正的伟大就像真正的天良一样，不论如何都会闪亮发光。  如果你的周围充满了渺小，拿出勇气，做好准备去表现你自身的伟大。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;价值一语： Words of Value: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Being strong does not mean being strong in a physical sense.

Mao has never  been a great man. They have never been such because they have never been real  and never been good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have never believed that small, evil and  despicable men can create a great country. I have always beieved that only great  individuals can create a great country. If you ever expect China to be great, be  great yourself. If you ever expect China to be free, be free yourself. If you  ever expect China to have a hope, be hopeful yourself... You are the one who  creates your own tomorrow. You are the one who creates your own fate and  destiny. Don't be afraid to be great, and don't be afraid of the  responsibilities that come with your greatness. Shed your "small man" mentality,  manifest your greatness. It is in you, it is in everyone of us. It is always  there. Only you are too timid to admit it, or too reluctant to recognize it. But  without you showing your greatness, how can the world be great?! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯博客&lt;/span&gt;： &lt;a href="http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #006699;"&gt;www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要有自由人必有的勇气。  你就一定要战胜你心中的恐惧感去面对真实。 “只有追求真实才能使你得到自由。” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要在灵魂中建立真实的信仰 –  相信世界上有真实、有爱、有尊严，相信正义一定会战胜邪恶，真实一定会暴露虚假，自由一定会击垮奴役，爱一定会超越仇恨。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？  你的上苍就就一定是解放人的，有宽容与爱的，勇敢探索挑战未知的，引导人走向幸福、欢乐、创造与希望的；你的上苍就绝不会是恐吓人的、威胁人的、惩罚人的、扭曲人的与奴役人的。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要认知自身的原弊而决不能将自己视为神，或视为他人的依附与主宰。 你的自知与不断的自我发掘是你永远追求自由的先决。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？ 你就一定不要灭绝与贬低你自身的伟大、价值与美德，也绝不要允许任何人灭绝与贬低你自身来自上苍的独特的品质与特质。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？ 你就一定不要停止对未知的探求，对未来的憧憬，对自身的认知。 你就一定不能在知识上设置任何禁区。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？  你就一定不要说谎，特别是不要对自己说谎。 你就一定不要造假并为自己的方便与走捷径而制造幻觉。  你就一定要永远追求真实，不管真实使你痛苦或快乐，不管真实把你带向何处。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？  你就一定不要相信“和谐”、“繁荣”、“统一”、“民族”、“大家”、“族群”、“国家”等虚无的伪价值并为此保持沉默，空喊口号，为群害人，为强权与争权而行为说话。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？  你就一定要用对自身的发掘与努力去创造价值与他人交流/交换，而决不能用精明去讨好多数，献媚强权，取益他人而不择手段地去偷、抢、骗取价值。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？  你就一定不能期待个体财产与成就的平等；你就一定不能指望一个绝对平安/安定的生活；你就绝对不能幻想有什么“世界和平”，“世界大同”，“人间天堂”。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要建立真实的个体认同而绝不允许他人与群体/家庭将你的个体价值放置在它们的框框盒子里。  那些想要用虚假的“确定感”消灭/否认真实的独特的个体认同的人既不会有“确定感”也不会得到自由与真实的幸福。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？  你就一定要勇于承担风险与犯错的代价： 人生最大的危险是不去承担风险；人生最大的错误是因为害怕犯错误而无所作为。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？  你就一定要“是人”而绝不要去“做人”。 “是人”（Human Being）是因为你是上苍所创而具有你自身特殊的意义与实质。 “做人/奴”（Human/Slave  Molding）则是要你遵循人造的伦理/礼去消灭/否认你的上苍赋予的特质与实质。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？  你就一定要有自尊（self-esteem）并给予你的家人与他人“是人”(Human Being)的尊严。  你自身的自由与尊严是你尊重家人与他人的自由与尊严的必要前提。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要选择使用你自由的工具与武器。 竹篮子是打不起水来的。  客观的语言与词汇是认知真实一个必须。 英文是最好的工具选择。 中文只能作为你的艺术爱好。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;

Mr. Obama  is fostering U.S. economic and military decline while simultaneously empowering  Beijing’s rise to superpower status. China’s communists are on the march. Unless  Americans wake up to the growing threat, both internal and external, our victory  in the Cold War will have been useless.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the disturbing  theme of “Bowing to Beijing: How Barack Obama Is Hastening America’s Decline and  Ushering a Century of Chinese Domination,” by Brett M. Decker, editorial page  editor of The Washington Times, and William C. Triplett II, a best-selling  author and renowned China analyst. Lucid, concise and comprehensively  researched, the book is a fire bell in the night. It is a dire warning that  China has become what America once was to Great Britain: the ambitious upstart  determined to eclipse the global colossus. The result will be not only the end  of the American moment, but the triumph of a belligerent authoritarian communism  hostile to democracy and the West. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“China’s leaders are engaged in a war against America.  They view us as a threat to their regime and way of life. Hence, they have  embarked on a systematic, long-term program to surpass us militarily,  economically and politically,” Mr. Decker said in an interview. “They are  willing to do anything — purchase our national debt, steal our intellectual  property, spend obscene amounts to buy influence in Washington, engage in  extensive espionage in our government and large corporations, and sell sensitive  missile and nuclear technology to our mortal enemies — to defeat us. And the  Obama administration is turning a blind eye.”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The authors reveal that Beijing believes it is in a  life-and-death struggle against America. For years, China’s ruthless communist  regime has been committing hostile, aggressive acts — stealing valuable military  technology, blatantly violating patent and intellectual property laws,  manipulating its currency to artificially boost exports to the United States,  lying about the nature and extent of its massive military buildup, sending spies  into the highest echelons of our government and private sector, hacking into our  computer networks, waging cyberwarfare, purchasing stakes in major banks, and  cultivating our economic dependence on Chinese business.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  response, Mr. Obama has embraced the Chinese dragon. In January 2011, he acceded  to Chinese demands and gave a state dinner honoring President Hu Jintao. Mr.  Obama praised Mr. Hu as a statesman and welcomed China’s prominent role in world  affairs. It was a craven surrender. The authors point out that while he was  communist party chief in Tibet, Mr. Hu oversaw the slaughter of hundreds of  Tibetan Buddhist monks. Moreover, he has ruled China with an iron fist.  Thousands of dissidents have been murdered or rot in jail. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The media is  heavily censored. Free speech is nonexistent. Basic human rights are abrogated  routinely. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The country’s Christians, Falun Gong and Muslims face  state-sanctioned persecution. Tens of millions are in gulags, being used as  slave labor to drive China’s booming economy. Mr. Hu staunchly supports  Beijing’s genocidal one-child policy, which has led to millions of forced  abortions and has coerced countless women to be sterilized against their will.  He is not a progressive visionary; rather, he is a butcher. This is the man Mr.  Obama toasts — and to whom he bows. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;At a  major nuclear summit in 2010, Mr. Obama bent over and bowed fully to Mr. Hu. The  Chinese leader did not reciprocate. In fact, his face and body language conveyed  the opposite: contempt.&lt;/span&gt; The protocol breech is nuts, and frequent. As  president, Mr. Obama is constantly abnegating himself to foreign leaders. The  emperor of Japan, the king of Saudi Arabia, the queen of England — there is  almost no one to whom he will not bow. Domestically, he has bowed to New Jersey  Gov. Chris Christie and even to the Democratic mayor of Tampa. It is odd. The  authors say Mr. Obama even has bowed repeatedly to midlevel Chinese  functionaries. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;His submissive behavior  does more than demean and degrade the presidency. For the authors, it rightly  signifies Washington’s growing subservience to Beijing.&lt;/span&gt; Under Mr. Obama,  America’s national debt has soared to nearly $15 trillion. Obamacare, the  massive stimulus, crippling regulations and the reckless borrowing and public  spending have brought us to the brink of bankruptcy. The private sector has been  shackled. Economic sclerosis has set in. Our military lacks the dynamic economy  necessary to sustain our global standing. Mr. Obama has significantly weakened  American power. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China is filling the vacuum. Beijing now owns more than  $1.3 trillion of U.S. debt. It annually runs huge trade surpluses, flooding our  market with everything from toys to computers to manufacturing products.  America’s industrial base is being wiped out. As we become the world’s greatest  debtor nation, China is amassing more than $3 trillion in hard-currency  reserves. Its economy is exploding, fueling annual growth rates averaging 10  percent for nearly two decades. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The  authors show, however, that the red dragon’s rise is anything but peaceful.  Beijing is embarking on a huge, almost unprecedented military buildup. It  possesses the largest armed force on the planet. It has 2.3 million men in  uniform, compared to 1.4 million in the United States. If one includes  reservists and paramilitary forces, the total number is close to 5 million.  China is expanding its nuclear arsenal. It is constructing a world-class navy to  dominate the western Pacific. It menaces its democratic neighbors, Taiwan, Japan  and South Korea. Along with its client state of North Korea, China has sold  missiles and vital nuclear technology to Iran, Syria and Venezuela – aiding and  abetting our archadversaries. It is spearheading a global anti-American  axis.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;When confronted with the  overwhelming evidence of Chinese expansionism and nefarious duplicity, the Obama  administration has refused to take action. The reason is simple: America is  turning into an economic vassal of China. We can no longer afford to upset —  never mind challenge — our new imperial master. Instead, we must bow. This is  Mr. Obama’s real, enduring and shameful legacy. We didn’t win the Cold War.  Communist China did.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeffrey T.

Hawkins &lt;br /&gt;FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, May 11, 2009  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A recent expert hearing proved a needed  reminder that homeland security is about more than guarding against covert  terrorist cells. A graver long-range enemy is funding larger operations and has  penetrated deep into major American institutions, acquired U.S. technological  secrets, and influences U.S. opinion-makers, as well as a large contingent of  its own countrymen living overseas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On April 30, the U.S.-China  Economic and Security Review Commission held a hearing on Chinese propaganda and  influence campaigns around the world. As scholars testified, Beijing’s ambitions  dwarf those of madmen hiding in caves, and the one party state is mounting a  full court press to achieve its aims. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The  Chinese Communists are promoting Chinese nationalism both at home and among the  Overseas Chinese, while playing on the self-interest of foreign business leaders  and the anti-nationalism of liberal intellectuals to further their rise at the  expense of the United States and its allies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Commission was  created by Congress and its twelve members are appointed on an equal, bipartisan  basis by the Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Commission invited six experts to testify on the propaganda issue,  but I found the work of Dr. Anne-Marie Brady the most compelling. She is  Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Canterbury, New  Zealand. She has run an international research team since 2005 studying Chinese  influence operations and last year published Marketing Dictatorship: Propaganda  and Thought Work in Contemporary China (Rowman &amp;amp; Littlefield). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Chinese government puts a high value on propaganda  work, describing it as the life blood (shengmingxian) of the Party-State. The  Chinese Communist Party (CCP) divides propaganda into two categories: internal  directed toward the Chinese people, and external directed toward foreigners in  China, Overseas Chinese, and the outside world Internal propaganda is defensive,  meant to support the status quo of one-party rule and to combat Western  criticism of the dictatorship. &lt;/span&gt;External propaganda is both defensive and  offensive. Defensively, it seeks to protect Beijing’s rise from foreign actions  that might curb its growth in wealth and power. Offensively, it pushes  “reunification” with Taiwan and the attainment of equal status among the leading  world powers in a “multilateral” international system. This means undermining  the “hegemonic” influence of the United States at every turn. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1989  Tiananmen Square massacre. The Chinese authorities needed to turn this sentiment  around. They have used two methods. One has been the lure of profits to tap into  the considerable economic resources of the Overseas Chinese for investment and  technological transfer. China has drawn in large sums of foreign The CCP was  shocked by the support the Overseas Chinese gave the pro-democracy protests that  led to the direct investment, with more than half of the money coming from the  Chinese diaspora. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hand in hand with the economic appeal is the appeal to  ethnic-patriotic sentiment towards the Chinese Motherland. As Brady told the  commission, the goal was to “encourage a constructive attitude towards Overseas  Chinese helping to make China ‘rich and strong’ (fu qiang). These efforts have  been remarkably successful.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Beijing’s  local Chinese language newspapers, radio and television stations; the Internet,  and a China Central Television channel (CCTV 4) beamed into foreign markets.  Beijing also supports overseas cultural activities; including the teaching of  the Chinese language, cultural conferences, and ‘root seeking’ tours back  ‘home.’ Confucius Institutes are being opened around the world to better  coordinate the cultural campaign. Beijing wants the Overseas Chinese to reject  assimilation into the foreign lands to which they fled Maoist China and return  to a common allegiance to the ancient Motherland. &lt;/span&gt;In 2005, CCTV-9 was  revamped into the Chinese version of CNN and BBC, a 24-hour news channel with a  global audience. “The station has been granted substantial resources in terms of  equipment; but has no editorial independence. CCTV-9 journalists are under  constant pressure to present a positive account of China,” according to Brady.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The state-run Xinhua News Service currently provides free content to the  Chinese language news media outside China. As Brady reported, “Formerly Hong  Kong and Taiwan-based news groups were the main source of news for Overseas  Chinese, but in the last ten years they have basically been driven out of the  market by a plethora of free Chinese newspapers which derive virtually all their  content from the Mainland media.” &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Few Chinese  language newspapers outside China have the financial resources to resist the  offer of free content. The same goes for Chinese language radio and television  stations abroad. Chinese embassy officials work closely with the Overseas  Chinese media in order to ensure their continued compliance with the party line.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;In the West it is often argued  that the Internet will open China to liberal ideas, but Beijing has been  successful in using the Internet to rally patriotic bloggers and hackers.  &lt;/span&gt;This outpouring of support for the Motherland was most evident in the  reaction among Chinese both at home and overseas to Western coverage of unrest  in Tibet in March 2008 and, a month later, in the battle between pro-Tibet and  pro-China demonstrations during the global Olympic torch relay. Brady noted that  “These protests and the later demonstrations were genuine and popular, which  shows the effectiveness of China’s efforts to rebuild positive public opinion  within the Chinese diaspora, but it should be noted that they received official  support, both symbolic and practical. This development matches the rise of  popular nationalism within China since 1989, which has been fostered from the  top down, but has a genuine resonance with the Chinese population.” One of the  evocative slogans promoted by Beijing and picked up online was simple: “Love  China.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the question period following Brady’s presentation, there  was discussion concerning whether the growth of “professionalism” within the  Chinese media would work against nationalist sentiment. If professionalism is  deemed to be the Western model which pits writers against government policy and  national interests as the way of proving independence, Brady had her doubts.  Feelings of national pride are alive and well in China. “The Party has high  legitimacy” Brady noted, “the patriotic public flocks to CCTV.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Chinese people want their country to be come rich and strong, and to take its  “rightful” place among the leading world powers, if, indeed, not become the new  hegemon as it combines its massive population with advanced technology to create  the planet’s largest industrial economy. Only in the decadent West can it be  thought that as China modernizes and increases its capabilities, its people will  become weaker in spirit and less ambitious. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beijing wants to ensnare  influential foreigners into the romance of a rising China. As Brady testified,  “promoting the Chinese economy and encouraging further foreign investment and  trade has become the primary task of foreign propaganda work, particularly after  1992. Throughout the 1990s China was certainly successful in promoting awareness  of its economic growth and enthusiasm for the opportunities which the Chinese  market offered international investors.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other witnesses before the  Commission picked up on this theme. “China’s efforts to influence U.S.  academics, journalists, think tank personnel and other shapers of public opinion  are part of its overall aims in the world,” testified Ross Terrill, a historian  and Research Associate with Harvard University’s Fairbank Center for Asian  Studies. Dr. Terrill has written widely about China since the 1970s. One of his  examples demonstrated how easily liberal institutions can fall for the  blandishments of very non-liberal regimes. Terrill told the commissioners how,  “Prior to the 2008 Olympic Games, the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at  Harvard went far down the path to offering a workshop for public security  officials from Beijing on how to handle the foreign press descending on Beijing  for the Olympics. Not a workshop for Chinese journalists, but one for police on  how to handle journalists. The workshop was cancelled at the last moment after  Nieman alumnae raised questions. Sometimes American intellectuals are more  trustful of a foreign government that puts on a good show than of our own  government that operates within a cacophony of debate.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Scholars friendly to China are granted access to  officials and research materials, along with other benefits, to build their  careers, whereas academics and journalists who are skeptical or questioning of  the regime are denied visas and discredited in intellectual circles.&lt;/span&gt; But  universities are not the only Chinese target. “Money may appear from a  businessman with excellent connections in China and it is hard for a think tank,  needing funds for its research on China, to decline it. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;But the money may bring with it major Chinese  ideological input into the program of the U.S. think tank,” said Terrill,  adding, “In the last year or two, Chinese companies have started making healthy  donations to think tanks in Western societies.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry Wortzel,  the vice-chair of the Commission who had run the Army War College’s Strategic  Studies Institute before becoming Vice President for foreign policy and defense  studies at the Heritage Foundation, mentioned that the Center for International  Trade and Security at the University of Georgia is working with the China  Foreign Affairs University. Yet, as the CITS knows, the CFAU is not a real  university, but an arm of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. One CITS-CFAU project  is on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, a major issue of  contention in U.S.-China relations. Why the Beijing regime would want to  influence how this issue is developed should be obvious. But greed can blind  people in academe as well as in business. And to further raise concern, CITS  projects in China are funded by the Ford and MacArthur Foundations, two  left-wing organizations hostile to U.S. national security policies.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Terrill also noted the large number of  Chinese students on U.S. campuses. He noted “the Soviet Union possessed no such  human bridge into our society; no authoritarian country has ever had so many of  its citizens living in the USA as China does today.” Most of these students are  working in science and engineering, including on major technology projects in  the private sector, some with military applications. As a sign of the deep  problems in the U.S. education system, research centers, universities and  corporations strongly oppose any restrictions on Chinese students because there  are not enough American students or graduates in the technical fields. It is  said that without Chinese students, who currently number around 100,000, many  research projects would collapse. Of course, any breakthroughs gained from these  American programs will find their way to Chinese industry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr.  Jacqueline Newmyer is President and CEO of the Long Term Strategy Group, a  Cambridge, Mass.-based defense consultancy. She is also a Senior Fellow at the  Foreign Policy Research Institute. Her main concerns have been the military  expansion of China and Iran, but campaigns to undermine a robust U.S. response  to these foreign developments are part of the problem. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;She noted that at Harvard there is much talk among  American students and faculty about national decline, with many expressing the  liberal view that it would be a good thing for the United States to give up its  global leadership role and withdraw inward. In contrast, Chinese students at  Harvard are encouraged by such talk, making them even prouder of their country’s  rise and optimistic that China will replace America as world leader.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newmyer noted that China is not the first foreign power to invest  in cultural propaganda operations meant to mobilize opinion in sub-sectors of a  target country’s population.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; She pointed out  that Beijing is in many ways copying the model used by Saudi Arabia in funding  mosques, Islamic schools, Middle East think tanks and academic studies programs  in Western countries. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brady was still the most explicit in the  information she provided the commission, explaining, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“The CCP has had a longstanding policy of utilising  foreigners in its propaganda work. This is called ‘using foreign strength to  promote China’ Historically, pro-CCP foreigners have been extremely useful in  producing a wide range of propaganda materials, ranging from books, films and  poetry, to public and private lobbying.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Communist Chinese  lack the Islamist hijackers' faith, but both groups take the long view of  history. They believe Beijing has a rightful role in world history and must  displace the United States in order to fulfill it. As the experts proved, they  are well aware of the tremendous foreign assets they possess, which may help  them accomplish their goal.  &lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------  &lt;br /&gt;William Hawkins is a consultant on international economics and national  security issues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CRTTAwNxwZg?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CRTTAwNxwZg?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-1342461389096926859?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1342461389096926859/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=1342461389096926859' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/1342461389096926859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/1342461389096926859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/dragons-propaganda-threat.html' title='红色恶龙的政宣攻势及其对世界良知的污染  The Dragon&apos;s Propaganda Threat'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-7246250260462998711</id><published>2011-11-12T09:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-12T10:41:11.896-08:00</updated><title type='text'>视频/美国良知教授：中共党朝恶过纳粹  Greg Autry Debates Leftists</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;视频/美国良知教授：中共党朝恶过纳粹  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Greg Autry Debates Leftists&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bzS9-j6abEY?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bzS9-j6abEY?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/405/deathbychinabookcover.jpg/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/5353/deathbychinabookcover.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯博客&lt;/span&gt;： &lt;a href="http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #006699;"&gt;www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;陈凯 按 Kai Chen Note&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;： &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Greg Autry is the author of "Death by China".&amp;nbsp; His moral clarity examplifies American spirit and principles of freedom.&amp;nbsp; I want to thank him for being my friend and for forwarding this link to me.&amp;nbsp; Enjoy.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Greg Autry 是“致命的中国”一书的作者。 他在这一视频节目中用一个美国人良知的清晰抨击了西左人士们对中共党朝的绥靖与道德混乱。 我在此感谢他作为我的朋友将此视频转给我。&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-------------------------------------------------&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Greg:&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I love it when you exhibit your moral clarity and equate China with Nazi  Germany.

You as an individual must  choose. There is no middle of the road. Not choosing is an ultimate form of  self-deception. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both slaves and masters have created and maintained the  evil system of slavery.

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;中共以匪治民 岂有男人比杨武更勇敢？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;【大纪元2011年11月11日讯】（大纪元记者李平综合报导）  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;近期，深圳宝安区发生联防队员暴力殴打、强奸居民事件，被侵害人的丈夫杨武目睹全过程，因害怕而未制止暴力行为。事件成为中国民众关注的焦点，不少人在网络上发表评论表示，无论是杨武的儒弱还是杨佳的抗争都是中国畸形制度下的产物；每个中国人都是杨武，因为中共以匪治民。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据德国之声报导，10月22日晚，中国深圳宝安区联防队员杨喜利手持钢管、警棍闯进王娟(化名)家中，一通乱砸，并对她毒打和强奸长达一个小时。而她的丈夫杨武(化名)则躲在几米外，不敢做声，眼睁睁看着妻子遭此横祸，一个小时后才悄悄报警。事后，有媒体记者采访杨武时指责他“太懦弱”，另外一大批中国民众将杨武称之为窝囊废。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;杨武、杨佳都是畸形制度下的产物&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;强奸等恶性案件在中国屡有发生，作案者不仅有一般人，甚至还有警察，就在去年10月15日，浙江温岭就曾出现过警察强奸卖淫女的丑闻。强奸案因为太多，所以一般无法成为公共事件，此次发生在深圳的这起强奸案，之所以能成为国内舆论关注的焦点，不是因为强奸案本身，而是因为此案中被强奸者丈夫的表现。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;报导称，大多数人都会认为杨武懦弱，不配为男子汉。但在媒体的报导中，杨喜利手持钢管、警棍的细节，只要设身处地想一想，就会觉得杨武的表现情有可原。因为中国大陆制度的作用，中国社会已经日显畸形，在这里，很多人并不具备独立思维和基本的明辨是非能力，所以，在很多案件发生后会出现正反双方水火不容的景象。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;事发后，民间有言：“同一个中国，不同的杨武和杨佳”。大家知道，在2008年7月1日，28岁的北京青年杨佳闯入上海市闸北区政法办公大楼，持刀袭击9名警察和1名保安，导致6名警察死亡。3个月后，杨佳被判故意杀人罪，在上海执行死刑。中共当局为了封嘴，把最重要的证人、杨佳的母亲王静梅送到公安部治下的安康精神病院，还改名为刘亚玲。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;杨佳袭警案由于司法过程缺少透明性和公正性，当时受到来自各界，包括西方社会的质疑和指责。而“壮士杨佳”的名言：“你不给我一个说法，我就给你一个说法”流传至今。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;虽然杨佳事件的背后，有太多的复杂背景，以及公权力对普通公民权利的侵害，但民间对杨佳和杨武的态度并非一个正常社会所应有的理性态度。应该思索的是在一个极权社会，人们的价值观和性格为什么会扭曲，为什么会产生杨佳和杨武？  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;百姓评论：中共以匪治民 每个人都是杨武&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;杨武案持续发酵，成为网络上的热门话题，从大陆媒体对陈光诚、艾未未事件等公共事件的态度以及小悦悦事件中司机的狠毒和路人的冷漠来看，比杨武坚强的男人并不多，在基本人权都无法保障的今天，除了那些敢于跟黑恶势力抗争的人之外，其他人都是“窝囊废”。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;中国民众肖勇表示：“我认为有85%以上的中国人是杨武，杨武面对的是妻子被奸不敢吭声，而我们又何尝不是一样？我们面对三聚氰胺、汶川地震、动车事故、强拆强征、计划生育迫害、疫苗受害儿童、陈光诚一家自由被剥夺时，又有几个人站出来对强权说不了呢？别说事不关己的话，这些事都和我们每一个人息息相关！”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;民众@ranyunfei：“懦弱不可耻，爱上懦弱比较可耻，爱上懦弱将其合理化是耻上加耻，爱上懦弱并鄙视那些要保住做人底线的反抗者很可耻。做人质被绑架不可耻，爱上绑架者比较可耻，爱上绑架者并为自己的懦弱开脱耻上加耻，爱上绑架者且视那些不屈的反抗者为怪物很可耻。这与制度有关，但决定者还是人。”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;民众@qiumazha：“勇敢是杨佳的墓志铭；懦弱是杨武的准活证。无论你选择哪一个，都逃不脱被镇压的命——不是被恶法枪毙，就是被口水溺死。这就是中国的现实。”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;民众Suyutong：“同样的天朝，不一样的杨佳和杨武，杨佳牺牲三周年纪念日，11月26日，你不给我一个说法，我就给你一个说法。”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;民众@kunlunfeng：“‘上帝亦救不了不自救之人。’仅以此语送给既同情杨武，又理解杨大侠的人们。中庸与矜持是你们的美德，但美德之人少有不装逼的，因为死亡本身就不是一件矜持的事情。”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;民众@shenzhen_litie：“看看杨武的事情，看看小悦悦事件，就应该知道几年前附图文字中那段话‘这说明人们不敢站出来，已不是道德问题，这已是一种特定牢笼下形成的文化。不要再对其他人发难，觉得正确就自己站出来！’”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;民众@staciezy：“官方回应称施暴的联防队员为临时工，你们敢不敢有点新藉口啊？干脆把中国那7千万全认证为临时工得了，免得每次都要说一次费事！”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;民众@MyDF：“深圳联防队员打砸强奸一案衍生新鲜词汇：以匪治民。”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今年〝六四〞前夕，〝天安门母亲〞发表《不容亵渎〝六四〞亡灵、不容损害〝六四〞难属的人格尊严》公开信。公开信中首度披露公安人员在今年先后3次找到一名〝六四死难家属〞私下沟通，不谈真相和责任，只谈金钱赔偿问题，表示只针对个人，不涉及群体，不要让〝天安门母亲〞丁子霖知道等，当局的做法遭到〝天安门母亲〞们的抵制。她们表示，不要以为钱可以解决一切问题。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;〝天安门母亲〞运动，是前中国人民大学哲学系副教授丁子霖等人发起，由一群〝六四事件〞中遇害者的母亲组成，从2000年年初开始，目前共有127名成员。这个组织及成员经常受到当局骚挠，公开悼念〝六四〞遇害亲人的活动也常遭禁止。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;新唐人记者陈汉、唐睿、王明宇采访报导。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;************************************ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;By Kai Chen 陈凯&lt;/span&gt; (Reprint 9/30/2011)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I have been thinking about this topic  for a long time and I think it is time for me to say something about  "Nationalism" - "民族主义"(People Racism as it is called in China)。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;民族主义(People Racism): There is no such term in English. The closest  to it is "Nationalism", based on the term Nation. But Nation means 国家。  Nationalism should mean "国家主义”。 民族 is a Chinese invention which means "People  Race", aimed at legitimizing the Chinese regime which governs a country composed of many racial/ethnic groups. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“种族主义” (Racism), has been rejected world-wide and therefore has a  bad name. So the Chinese decide to put a term "people' in it so it sounds  better, just as everything in a Communist nation has a title "people" in it, ie.  People's Republic, People's Daily, People's Congress, etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"民" (people),  has long become a value laden term in China's communist regime. No matter what,  everything that has a "people" above it must be good and right. So by this  logic, putting a "people" before "racism" makes "Racism" sound legitimate. Using  "民”to suppress "人“ (Using people to suppress humans), "以民压人", has long been a  Chinese tradition. And using "people" combined with "race" is even more  effective to suppress humanity in China. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the Chinese morals and  ethics stops at the border of China, all the righteousness of Chinese people  somehow starts with their skin color (race) and their culture (people). I have  never seen a passionate Chinese with individual dignity and integrity. I have  forever seen paranoid and pathelogical Chinese when they see their National Flag  and hear their National Anthem. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of my so called anti-communist  friends and colleagues somehow all sided with the Communist regime when the  matters such as the Hainai "airplane collision incident", the US mistakenly  bombing the Chinese embassy, the matter of Japan joining the UN security  council, demanding Japanese apology... etc. arise. Somehow they are all too  willing to act as "义和团“，Boxers in the 19th century, though they hate the regime,  they are willing to support it when facing a foreign country and foreigners in  general. I have broken off with quite a few of my so called "friends" for I have  failed to see that there is a common ground of humanity and decency between us.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pathology extends to the degree that the Chinese are willing to  tolerate Mao and the Communist regime when they have killed 80 million Chinese.  Because of fear and a twisted moral code, the Chinese are invariably turn a  blind eye to the atrocities and murderous mayhem committed by the Chinese  government and regimes. They just bury their heads in the sand when the atrocity  happens, playing their Majiang, exercising with their "Taichi", drinking their  tea and hiding in their huts... But when there is some done by a foreigner to a  Chinese, such as a mistreatment of a border patrol officer in Canada over a  misunderstanding by a Chinese tourist, or some Japanese schools omit the  Japanese war crimes.., the Chinese turn berserc, and they somehow are outraged  to see a neighbor's kid pissing on their fence but keep their silence when their  parents are raping their children, or committed family incest, or murdering  their own for nothing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pathology of the Chinese "民族主义”, Chinese  Nationalism, is now the main reason why the Communist regime stays in power.  Communism itself has become somehow irrelevent even in a Communist society. It  is this pathological "Nationalism" and a mysterious "Socialism" now that sustain  China and the Chinese Communist Party. Putting nationalism and socialism  together, you get "National Socialism" - "Nazism". This is exactly what is  happening now, much as what was happening during WWII in Germany. A Nationalist  ferver combined with Socialism doctrine gave rise to Hitler and Racist Nazi  Regime. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is exactly what is happening now in the Chinese Psyche and  mindset. Chinese Nationalism has long become the shield and foundation for the  post Mao communist regime. Dominating Asians and Asia, conquering Taiwan,  challenging America and Western democracies and institutions, enslaving their  own population's mind and heart, prolonging the life of a repressive regime,  propagating a Chinese style Nazism based on the despotic Chinese tradition and  culture, corrupting the souls and minds of millions of Chinese and making them  nothing but the tools, soldiers, slaves and sacrifices on the Communist "Big  Family's Altar"..., have all become the National agenda for the Chinese regime.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ironically, the Chinese, due to their language, culture, social and  political up-bringings, are blind to where they are heading. In their own mind,  they are building a "Great Chinese Nation". They equate "China rising" with  "Evil rising", for they have no moral absolute. Everything is relative to them,  relative to Power, no matter if it is morality, value, culture, nation, human  beings, life, truth, liberty, justice... The Chinese see it all in a relative  term. Only "power" is absolute and they believe so: "Whoever wins is the King.  Whoever loses are the bandits." The Chinese believe the world is revolving  around only one thing "Absolute Power of the Collective over the Individuals"  and "Absolute Power of the Strong over the Weak". This is their moral  foundation. In this world, only "Them vs. Us", "Strong vs. Weak", "China vs.  Foreigners" exist as their moral doctrine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trampling on individuals, on  individual freedom and rights, on individual interests and happiness is  considered legitimate all in the name of perserving the "Chinese Nation", the  Chinese culture, the Chinese "people race" "民族“. Everyone of the Chinese is  nothing and in jeopody of being sacrificed against his or her will, for "民族” is  the only dictator to judge their worth and decide their fate. And the Chinese  culture has been established to educate and propagate this "民族主义“so everyone  should be willing to sacrifice their lives for this Nation, this Culture, this  Tradition, this Authority, this Collective. The narcotics of Chinese "民族主义”has  been purified for thousands of years, and its potency is unprecedented.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even in this forum, I have witnessed and sensed tremondous effect of  "Nationalist Narcotics" and its poisonous effect. People are unwilling and  unable to judge what is right and wrong, good and evil, truth or falsehood by  themselves, by their own individual conscience, by their own individual values.  They tie themselves on the war-machine of Chinese Nation hijacked perpetually by  Chinese despotism, so they can feel a little sense of moral certainty. As  individuals, their lives somehow have no meaning, but as Chinese, they will  always be proud. Pity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/b-8x9l4uL0E?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/b-8x9l4uL0E?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-9058052517350740436?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/9058052517350740436/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=9058052517350740436' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/9058052517350740436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/9058052517350740436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/evil-of-nationalism-chinas-people.html' title='民族主义的丑陋与邪恶 The Evil of Nationalism (China&apos;s &quot;People Racism&quot;)'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-4552585208379981494</id><published>2011-11-04T10:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-11-04T10:34:46.119-07:00</updated><title type='text'>千万不要走入中国式教育的歧途  Lessons From China And Singapore</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Hvh2nU0lafU?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Hvh2nU0lafU?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;China's Elementary School Pressure 中国教育制度中的非人化&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://img341.imageshack.us/i/rotelearning.jpg/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/1827/rotelearning.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Singapore and China are terrible models of  education for any nation that aspires to remain a pluralistic democracy.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯一语&amp;nbsp; Kai Chen's Words： &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;中国式“记忆填鸭灌尿盆”的教育是孔儒的为专制制造奴隶工具的基点组成环节。  奥巴马及美左对这种教育模式的青睐是不足为怪的。 “人与个体只是政府与强权的工具”是中共党奴朝与美左共通的邪恶病态的哲学基点。  削弱中式教育与中文的病态影响是所有热爱自由的人们应努力而为的，不是相反。 “孔学院”与“孔学堂”正是中共党奴朝散布其奴役哲学的理想场所。  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The perverse educational system  in China and Singapore is based upon the very premise of Oriental Despotism -  individual human beings are nothing but the tools and slaves of those in power  and the government. Obama and people like him in America admire such an  educational system as China's, for they think like the Chinese despots. The  truth is a perverse educational system (including the influence of the Chinese  character-based syllabic language) like China's or Singapore's is what we as  freedom-loving people should do everything we can to avoid and to diminish, not  the opposite. Confucius Institutes and Classrooms by the Chinese communist  regime are exactly the ideal evil instruments to enlave human mind.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯博客：&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #006699;"&gt;www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lessons From China And Singapore &lt;br /&gt;千万不要走入中国式教育的歧途&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;by Martha C. Nussbaum &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Singapore  and China are terrible models of education for any nation that aspires to remain  a pluralistic democracy.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;July 1, 2010 &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Martha C. Nussbaum&lt;/span&gt; is professor of law and  philosophy at the University of Chicago. She is the author, most recently, of  From Disgust to Humanity: Sexual Orientation and the Constitution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;American leaders, impressed by the economic success of  Singapore and China, frequently sound envious when talking about those  countries' educational systems.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;President  Obama,&lt;/span&gt; for example, invoked Singapore in a March 2009 speech, saying that  educators there "are spending less time teaching things that don't matter, and  more time teaching things that do. They are preparing their students not only  for high school or college, but for a career. We are not." New York Times  columnist &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nicholas Kristof&lt;/span&gt; regularly  praises China, writing (on the eve of the Beijing Olympics) that "today, it's  the athletic surge that dazzles us, but China will leave a similar outsize  footprint in the arts, in business, in science, in education" — implying his  strong approval of China's educational practices, even in an article in which he  decries the Chinese government's ferocious opposition to political dissent.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;But Obama and Kristof and all the other U.S.  proponents of Singapore and China's educational systems apparently aren't  thinking very hard about the relationship of those policies to democratic debate  and democratic autonomy. Indeed, they are glorifying that which does not deserve  praise.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What do educators in  Singapore and China do? By their own internal accounts, they do a great deal of  rote learning and "teaching to the test."&lt;/span&gt; Even if our sole goal was to  produce students who would contribute maximally to national economic growth —  the primary, avowed goal of education in Singapore and China —&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; we should reject their strategies, just as they  themselves have rejected them.&lt;/span&gt; In recent years, both nations have  conducted major educational reforms, concluding that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;a successful economy requires nourishing analytical  abilities, active problem-solving, and the imagination required for innovation.  &lt;/span&gt;In other words, neither country has adopted a broader conception of  education's goal, but both have realized that&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;  even that narrow goal of economic enrichment is not well served by a system  focused on rote learning.&lt;/span&gt; In 2001, the Chinese Ministry of Education  proposed a "New Curriculum" that is supposed to "[c]hange the overemphasis on …  rote memorization and mechanical drill. Promote instead students' active  participation, their desire to investigate, and eagerness … to analyze and solve  problems." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Singapore, similarly, reformed its education policy in 2003  and 2004, allegedly moving away from rote learning toward a more  "child-centered" approach in which children are understood as "proactive  agents." Rejecting "repetitious exercises and worksheets," the reformed  curriculum conceives of teachers as "co-learners with their students, instead of  providers of solutions." It emphasizes both analytical ability and "aesthetics  and creative expression, environmental awareness … and self and social  awareness." &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The language used in both of these  reforms harks back to the ideas of the great progressive educators John Dewey  and Rabindranath Tagore, both of whom visited China, and both of whom once had  considerable influence throughout East Asia. &lt;/span&gt;Singapore and China are  trying to move toward open-ended progressive education that cultivates student  creativity —&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; just as we seem to be moving away,  with the increasing emphasis on teaching to the test that has been the result of  No Child Left Behind.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Observers of current practices in both  Singapore and China conclude that the reforms have not really been implemented.  Teacher pay is still linked to test scores, and thus the incentive structure to  effectuate real change is lacking. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;In general,  it's a lot easier to move toward rote learning than to move away from it, since  teaching of the sort Dewey and Tagore recommended requires resourcefulness and  perception, and it is always easier to follow a formula.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Moreover, the reforms are cabined by these  authoritarian nations' fear of true critical freedom.&lt;/span&gt; In Singapore,  nobody even attempts to use the new techniques when teaching about politics and  contemporary problems. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Citizenship  education"&lt;/span&gt; typically takes the form of analyzing a problem, proposing  several possible solutions, and then demonstrating how the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;one chosen by government is the right one&lt;/span&gt; for  Singapore. In universities, some instructors attempt a more genuinely open  approach, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;but the government has a way of suing  professors for libel if they criticize the government in class, and even a small  number of high-profile cases chills debate.&lt;/span&gt; One professor of  communications (who has since left Singapore) reported on a recent attempt to  lead a discussion of the libel suits in her class:&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; "I can feel the fear in the room. …You can cut it  with a knife."&lt;/span&gt; Nor are foreign visitors immune: NYU's film school has  been encouraged to set up a Singapore branch, but informed that films made in  the program may not be shown outside the campus. China, needless to say, does  not foster creative thinking or critical analysis when it comes to the political  system. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;It is time to take off the  rose-colored glasses. Singapore and China are terrible models of education for  any nation that aspires to remain a pluralistic democracy. They have not  succeeded on their own business-oriented terms, and they have energetically  suppressed imagination and analysis when it comes to the future of the nation  and the tough choices that lie before it. &lt;/span&gt;If we want to turn to Asia for  models, there are better ones to be found:&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;  Korea's humanistic liberal arts tradition, and the vision of Tagore and  like-minded Indian educators. I'll take up their more enlightened approaches in  my next column.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/39U22x8LuZs?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/39U22x8LuZs?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-4552585208379981494?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/4552585208379981494/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=4552585208379981494' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/4552585208379981494'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/4552585208379981494'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/lessons-from-china-and-singapore.html' title='千万不要走入中国式教育的歧途  Lessons From China And Singapore'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-3404395602263983878</id><published>2011-10-31T14:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-11-01T07:35:34.006-07:00</updated><title type='text'>中国人的灵智在祖坟中早夭 Dying Before Birth in Ancestors' Graves</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/q7iDZnkn1xo?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/q7iDZnkn1xo?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chinese cruelty and torture for thousands of years “中国人”的残暴无人性是首屈一指的&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" class="border" id="main_image" src="http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/8500/chinesechildrenkneeling.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 380px; width: 327px;" title="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯博客&lt;/span&gt;： &lt;a href="http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #006699;"&gt;www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯一语：Kai Chen's Words: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;最可悲与最可憎的事实是：  中国“人”的灵魂与智慧从他们一生下来的时候就已经在极度黑暗与腐朽的祖坟中默默的死去, 因为他们就出生在那充满毒素与败坏的祖坟里。  那些行尸走肉之人甚至并不察觉他们其实从生下来时就已经是一个灵智死亡的虚无。 ... 祖坟不扒，人无新生；祖坟不扒，“人”何自由？  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The saddest and the most  despicable fact is: In China when a person is born, his soul and mind start to  die right away silently, for he is born into his ancestors' coffin, buried deep  in the dark and decaying recess of a grave. Yet these zombies never realize that  thoughout all their nihilistic lives, they have never had any soul and any  mind.... Unless the rotten coffin has been smashed, the Chinese will never have  a new birth and new life; unless the light of truth cuts through the darkness of  the grave, the Chinese will never be set free.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**************************************** &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;中国人的灵智在祖坟中早夭 &lt;br /&gt;Dying Before Birth in Ancestors'  Graves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“自由人”对抗“中国人”序列&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;"Free Beings" vs. "Chinese Series&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kai Chen  陈凯&lt;/span&gt; (Written 12/9/2006, Reprint 9/25/2011) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;When I write to devastate the Chinese character-based  syllabic language, the Chinese nihilistic culture and the Chinese despotic  institutions, I know for sure most Chinese accuse me of digging my, and their  ancestors' grave. And in China that is an unforgivable crime punishable by the  worst torture imaginable. Yet I am not much concerned about the accusation or  the hatred I have brought upon myself. I don't feel any guilt. I am only  concerned about telling the truth as I see it. And the worst torture to me is  never from others, but from my own conscience. And thus far, my conscience is  clean. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Christ's saying "only truth shall set you free", I am more  concerned about being truthful and being free than being unpopular or being  cursed to hell by some cultural drug addicts. Someone has to tell the Chinese  that the emperor has never had any clothes on, never, no matter how many Chinese  adore, in their drug-inflicted mind, all things Chinese. Someone has to let the  Chinese know that they are only living in an illusion and fantasy, indulging  themselves in dose after stronger dose of cultural and spiritual narcotics, not  knowing their addiction is killing them and their children for the last two  thousand years. They, the Chinese, have not waken up to this truth. But thank  God I have waken up to it. And the awakening in my soul and mind is the best  thing that has ever happened to me. I feel free. I am free, free at last.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am free from my tortured past. I am free from my despotic and  nihilistic culture. I am free from the chains and shackles of the Chinese  character-based syllabic language. I am free from the insidious addiction of the  spiritual narcotics my ancestors and the Chinese government forced upon me. I am  free to explore a new life, a new world full of light, full of passion, full of  love, full of creativity, full of joy and happiness, full of possibilities.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to share with those who still have a remnant of conscience left:  Walk bravely forward, away from your ancestors' shackles, away from your false  sense of security, away from your stupor, away from your addiction, away from  all that oppress you from the day you were born. There is a whole new future,  whole new world full of hope waiting for you ahead. Yet unless and until you  free yourself from your ancestors' coffins and graves, unless and until you dig  yourself out of the abyss, you will never reach it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-3404395602263983878?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3404395602263983878/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=3404395602263983878' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/3404395602263983878'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/3404395602263983878'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/dying-before-birth-in-ancestors-graves.html' title='中国人的灵智在祖坟中早夭 Dying Before Birth in Ancestors&apos; Graves'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-2152203261035777573</id><published>2011-10-28T14:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-28T14:36:53.133-07:00</updated><title type='text'>中国-没有灵魂的成长 China's Morally Hollow Economy</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-cwbNveZWBQ?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-cwbNveZWBQ?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2 year old chinese girl run over and noone helps! 道德评论&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/812/ssickmenimage.jpg/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/7662/ssickmenimage.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯博客&lt;/span&gt;： &lt;a href="http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #006699;"&gt;www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;China's Morally Hollow Economy  &lt;br /&gt;中国-没有灵魂的成长&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;By Samuel Gregg on 10.28.11 @ 6:07AM  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://spectator.org/archives/2011/10/28/chinas-morally-hollow-economy" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #006699;"&gt;http://spectator.org/archives/2011/10/28/chinas-morally-hollow-economy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/9/chinesegirlbeforerunove.jpg/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/7689/chinesegirlbeforerunove.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's setting off open discussion and concern about Chinese realities  that Communism and blind commitment to economic growth are powerless to address.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent weeks, China has been consumed by an unprecedented internal  debate concerning a subject bound to make its Communist rulers nervous. At issue  is the moral health of Chinese society. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Widespread Chinese discussion of this most  un-politically correct subject was triggered by the October 21 death of a  two-year old girl in the city of Foshan in Guangdong province. She died of  internal injuries sustained after being run-over not once, but twice in a local  market.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accidents happen. But what made little Wang Yue's death a  matter for intense public discussion was the fact that nearly 20 people simply  walked by and ignored her plight as she lay bleeding in the gutter.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What, hundreds of Chinese websites, newspapers and even state media  outlets are asking, does this say about Chinese society? Have Chinese people  lost all sense of concern for others in the midst of the scramble for wealth  unleashed by China's long march away from economic collectivism? One local  official summarized the collective angst by stating: "We should look into the  ugliness in ourselves with a dagger of conscience and bite the soul-searching  bullet." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem, from the perspective of China's  party-government-military elites, is such soul-searching may lead increasing  numbers of Chinese to conclude that the circumstances surrounding Wang Yue's  death are symptomatic of deeper public morality problems confronting China, some  of which could significantly impede its economic development. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;One such challenge is widespread corruption. By  definition, corruption doesn't easily lend itself to close study. Its  perpetrators are rarely interested in anyone studying their activities. Few  question, however, that there's a high correlation between corruption and  widespread and direct government involvement in the economy. The more  regulations and "state-business" partnerships you have (and China has millions  of the former and thousands of the latter), the greater the opportunities for  government cadres to extract their personal pound of flesh as the price of doing  business.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Back in 2007, for  example, a Carnegie Foundation study of China reported that approximately "10  percent of government spending, contracts, and transactions is estimated to be  used as kickbacks and bribes, or simply stolen." &lt;/span&gt;The situation has since  become even worse. In late 2009, for example, China's state anti-corruption  watchdog admitted that 106,000 officials had already been found guilty of  corruption that year -- an increase of 2.5 percent from 2008. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From an  economic standpoint, high corruption levels are a powerful disincentive for  foreign investment. And if corruption grows to sufficient levels in China,  there's a strong possibility it may start cancelling-out the attraction of the  lower labor costs that are one of the biggest magnets for foreign investment in  China. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ethical predicaments corroding China's economy, however, go  beyond everyday corruption. They also touch on China's willingness to tell the  truth about what's really going on in the Chinese economy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;While hardly anyone questions China's economy is  growing, doubts are continually expressed concerning the veracity of its growth  figures -- including by some members of China's elite. &lt;/span&gt;In 2010, for  instance, Wikileaks revealed that China's present Vice Premier Li Keqiang had  expressed little confidence in his own country's GDP numbers during a 2007  conversation with the American ambassador. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The causes for such  uncertainty are several. But one that has consistently plagued China since the  1980s has been outright fudging and lying on production and growth numbers by  local officials eager for political advancement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why does this matter?  It's important because domestic and foreign businesses need reliable data if  they're going to be able to make prudent investments. Conversely, misleading GDP  data helps generate a cycle of expectations, risk-assessment, investments,  production and exports that is built on lies. And if the falsehoods are big and  systematic enough, they will severely undermine business confidence and leave a  legacy of distrust of China among foreign investors and international markets.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many members of China's Communist party elite -- but especially its  younger set -- are very conscious of these problems. Their concerns were vented  in an unprecedented fashion at an informal October 6 meeting held at the China  World Trade Centre which gathered together the children of those party leaders  who ended the anarchical insanity associated with the "Gang of Four" 35 years  ago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of being a gathering during which preparations were  supposed to be made for next year's Party Congress, young apparatchik after  young apparatchik stood up and slammed the state of Chinese society. Some spoke  of the "rapid decline of moral standards." Others referred to "rampant  corruption." Still more expressed their disgust at the perks enjoyed by party  and government officials. One well-connected cadre even insisted: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"The Communist Party is like a surgeon who has  cancer.… It can't remove the tumor by itself, it needs help from others, but  without help it can't survive for long."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And herein lies the  dilemma for those members of China's elites who are aware of the threat that  widespread corruption, nepotism, and all the usual phenomena associated with  one-party states represent to China's economic and political future. The  ideology that still (at least theoretically) justifies their leading place in  society and politics -- i.e., Communism -- has literally nothing to offer by way  of serious moral counsel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Communism is,  after all, based on a materialist conception of life, and materialism can't  generate any coherent ethic, beyond recourse to appeals to speeding up the  so-called "dialectics of history" or the mailed fist of raw power. That's why  Marxists typically dismiss concerns for objective morality as "bourgeois false  consciousness."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nor does the  other force that increasingly serves to legitimize the rule of China's elites --  old-fashioned nationalism -- have much to offer by way of moral guidance.  Indeed, nationalist regimes are invariably associated with widespread corruption  because of their propensity to meddle widely and deeply in every aspect of  economic life.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either way, if China's rulers are going to  confront some of the looming moral problems threatening to compromise China's  economic progress (not to mention the present elite's power-monopoly), then they  need to find some alternatives -- and quickly. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Revolutions have, after all, started on far  less.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;从没有人知道是谁把一只鹰卵放到了鸡巢里的。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当雏鹰被孵化出来的时候，她在蹦蹦跳跳的雏鸡群中艰难地移动中，勉强获取她生命的必需。 与其他雏鸡不同，她的眼睛总是常常看着天：  她的眼前总是晃动着一个盘旋翱翔的影子。 她自己也不确定那是幻觉想象还是真实存在，是一个幽灵还是一个真神的造物。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“你看什么呢？”  短视的小白鸡嘲弄着她。 “天上除了云、雨、风、闪电、雷鸣，什么都没有。 我们必需的东西都在地上呀。 你看：  这儿有草籽、小虫、蚯蚓，还有农夫在食槽里给我们的谷物。 你的眼睛应该往地上看。 一切你想要的就在你的身边。” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雏鹰没说话。  她的锐利的鹰的目光盯在天上那个盘旋翱翔的影子。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“是呀。”  勤劳的小黄鸡用爪子飞快地扒着身下的土，并用嘴轻快地在土中挑出草籽，谷粒和小虫，津津有味地品尝着各种食品的滋味。 “你看，地上的食物真多。  在这些食物中我能体验到幸福与快乐。” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雏鹰没说话。 她的敏感的耳朵正听着那风的呼叫与海的咆哮。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“你怎么不说话？  你聋了还是哑了？” 勇敢的小黑鸡挺着自己红红的冠子，一边与另一只小雄鸡搏斗打架，一边扭着他的脖子嘲弄着雏鹰。 “看你就不顺眼： 你的嘴是那么丑，像个钩子。  你的羽毛是那么硬，那么粗，碰到谁谁都会疼。 你的眼睛是那么尖利，一下就看到其他鸡的心底。 谁见你谁都躲着走。 你不会有朋友与知音的。 你真可怜。  你会永远寂寞孤独的。” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雏鹰没说话。 她的心在激烈地跳荡着。 她的血在脉中奔涌。  她对天空的激情逐渐将鸡群们所绝不可能察觉的力量汇集到她的翅膀中、、、。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;农夫来了。 他将谷物倒在鸡槽中。  鸡群一拥而上，厮打着，争抢着，吼叫着，踩踏着其他的鸡，吞咽着那槽中的食物。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雏鹰没有动。 她静静地站在地上。 她的头高傲地仰视着天空。  她的尖锐的视觉与不倦的搜寻终于使她清晰地看到了那天边翱翔的影子： 他盘旋在蓝天上，出没在云朵中，随着气流的波动而起伏翱翔，吸允着太阳的能量，俯视着地面上的一切。  他的嘴和她的一样锋利。 他的羽毛和她的一样坚硬。 他的眼睛和她的一样清纯而不妥协。 她看到了他的灵魂。 她看到了她自己。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;突然间，那云朵中的精灵发出了一声撕裂长空的尖叫。 地上的鸡群被那声尖利的嘶喊震惊，吓得四下奔逃，躲入鸡棚灌木丛中。 只有雏鹰没有恐慌。  她的心被那声撕裂长空的尖叫震撼了。 她终于懂得了她自己的真实存在。  她终于懂得了她是一只雌鹰，她根本就从不属于这充满污秽肮脏的鸡棚与那低下的，虚无的，被农夫喂养与被农夫宰割的鸡的生活。  她终于懂得了那撕裂奴性灵魂的，来自天空宇宙的自由的呐喊是只为她而发出的，呼唤着她张开她强有力的双翅飞向长空，飞向自由，飞向上苍，飞向他的怀抱。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雏鹰挺起她那高傲的头，展开她那矫健的双翅，张开她那尖利的嘴，发出了她自己也难以相信的震撼长宇的呐喊。  她拼力扑打着她的双翅，冲向天空，冲向风暴，冲向闪电，冲向太阳，冲向上苍，冲向她的本质，冲向她的爱、、。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一瞬间，地上的鸡群被雏鹰的起飞惊呆了。  但他们马上就又恢复了原状 – 扒地，寻虫，啄米，争食，夺雌，排便，被屠、、、。  毕竟，他们只是些在污秽中与同伴夺食与在农夫的喂养、取蛋、屠宰中寻找安逸与满足的鸡。 他们永远不会懂得鹰的追求与爱。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;、、、长空中，在金色的阳光下，那两个自由的精灵在彼此的爱慕中，在自然的拥抱中，在欢乐的激情中，在向未知的进军与挑战中翱翔着、拼搏着、嘶叫着、召唤着那些在仍旧鸡群中的雏鹰们、、、。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;鹰与鸡 &lt;br /&gt;Eagle and Chicken &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Translation by Kai Chen 10/29/2011  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;No one knows who placed an eagle egg in a  chicken's nest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the young eagle was first hatched, she was weak and  had very hard time surviving among the fast moving baby chickens. Yet her eyes  often stared at the sky, for no apparent reason: There was something in the sky  - a soaring shadow in the winds under the sun, that attracted her attention.  However, she was not quite sure whether it was real or just an illusion, whether  it was just a specter or a true existence created by God. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What are you  looking for up there?" The near-sighted white chick derided her. "There is  nothing up there besides clouds, rain, winds, lighting, thunders.... All we need  is on the ground. You see: There is grass. There are seeds to eat. There are  delicacies such as earthworms and bugs. There is also the guaranteed daily  portions from our master - the farmer. Our eyes should be focused on the ground.  Everything we need for happiness is on the ground." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The young eagle  didn't speak. Her vision was getting sharper. The shape of that soaring shadow  in the sky was getting clearer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That is so right." The very agile  yellow chick agreed, using her feet in fast motion to dig out seeds, worms and  bugs, savoring the delicious snacks. "You see: There are all kinds of food here  in the dirt. They are so tasty. I am so satisfied and contented. Why don't you  come and dig with us." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The young eagle didn't speak. Her ears started to  hear the whistling winds, the thundering storms and the violently screaming  seas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Why don't you talk at all, like all of us? Are you deaf or mute?"  The brave little black chick, with his red crown standing straight up on his  head, asked, fighting with another male chick over a morsel of food. "You are so  weird and odd. You look ugly as well. Your beak is not straight like all of us.  It is like a hook sticking out in front. Your feather is so thick and hard.  Everyone avoids contacting you for fear of getting hurt. Your eyes, yes,  especially your eyes, are so sharp and uncompromising. They poke deep into  others' hearts. No one can hide from you. You will never have friends. You will  be forever alone. I pity you." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The young eagle didn't speak. Her heart  was pounding violently. Her blood was surging fast in her veins. Undetectably,  she was gathering strength in her wings. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The farmer came. He poured  chicken food into the feeding container. All the chickens went crazy, fighting  for the space to get a bite of the free food. They screamed, beat upon each  other, trampled onto each other, extending their necks to swallow whatever the  farmer fed them, being afraid of getting less than others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The young  eagle didn't move. She stood quietly by the commotion. Her head was held high  and mighty with an utmost dignity. She finally saw clearly the soaring shadow in  the clouds: He was real. He was extending his giant wings, gliding with the  winds, penetrating the clouds with confidence and ease. He absorbed the endless  energy from the sun, watching and examining all occurrences on the ground....  His beak was as sharp as hers. His feather was as firm as hers. His eyes, yes,  especially his eyes, was as pure and uncompromising as hers. She actually saw  the image of herself. She was looking at her own soul. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of a sudden,  that proud specter in the lofty sky uttered an incredibly heart-shuttering,  ear-piercing cry. The crowd of chicken was scattering from their feasts,  panicked by the horrifying sound from the sky. They ran fast toward the nearest  shelter, toward the bushes and chicken houses. Only the young eagle remained  calm and composed. It was as though she had always expected the battle cry, like  a soldier expecting the sound of the bugle. She finally realized her true  identity, her true existence. She finally realized she was an eagle. She had  never belonged to the chicken houses, to the dirt and filth on the ground, to  the warmth, the comfort and meaninglessness of a chicken's life, to the misery,  pain, indignity and unavoidable slaughter from the master... She finally  understood the powerful calling from the sky: The soul-piercing scream from the  universe was uttered only for her sake, yelling at her, tearing down all the  doubts and fears from her heart, injecting immense energy into her wings,  prompting her to extend her wings naturally to fly toward the sky, toward  freedom, toward God, toward the embrace of his passionate love. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  young eagle raised her head, extended her wings, opened her mouth to cry out the  passion for life. For the first time in her life, she heard her own incredibly  gut-shuttering scream. She gathered her strength, awkwardly in the beginning, to  flutter her immense wings to fly toward the sky, toward the clouds, toward the  rain, the lighting and the thunder, toward the sun, toward her own soul, toward  her own love..... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chickens on the ground were stupefied by the young  eagle's flight and her cry of freedom. They only glanced from the corner of  their eyes at the soaring eagle with fear and trepidation. Yet soon they  returned to their normal routine, digging, eating, gossiping, fighting, laying  eggs, being slaughtered by their master.... After all, they were only chickens  settling for a chicken's life. They could never understand an eagle's yearning  and love. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..... Under the sun's golden rays, the two free souls were  soaring above the sky, immersed in each other's joy and passion. In the firm  embrace of their own nature, in joy and love, in the endless challenge of the  unknown they had to face in the future, in the passionate anticipation of coming  battles in life, the two eagles kept flying higher and farther, screaming to  call all the young eagles among chickens to discover the true nature of their  being. They would fly around the world, screaming, wakening up all the free  souls, till the end of time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-1773288317754343706?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1773288317754343706/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=1773288317754343706' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/1773288317754343706'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/1773288317754343706'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/eagle-and-chicken.html' title='陈凯再版/鹰与鸡  Eagle and Chicken'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-6152004054608702439</id><published>2011-10-21T16:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-31T07:03:36.370-07:00</updated><title type='text'>我不是一个“公民”，我是一个“私人” I am not a “Public People”, I am a “Private Person”</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px;

10/21/2011 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #006699;"&gt;www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;中文的“个群不分”，“公私不分”的弊病我以在众多的文章中阐明过。  但我仍常常在与被“中文心态”支配的人们交往时被他们的由于专制群体语言的污染而产生的种种表达而惊叹震惊不已。  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最近我曾邀请一位有共同价值的好友到我在海边的寓所游览。 加州中部海岸的美景使我们沉浸在对自然与生活美感的品味欣赏之中。  像我在洛杉矶家街区散步时一样，我弯腰将一片地上的废纸片捡起来放到垃圾桶里。 我的好友很为赞赏地感叹道：“你这举动真是‘公民意识’的体现”。  我听后马上纠正了他的说法：“我捡起垃圾绝不是因为我有什么‘公民意识”。 我只是出于我的“私人冲动”。  我只是为了我自己的利益、我自己的享受、我自己视觉的更美好而去做这些。 我从没有想到任何其他人的利益，尽管我的这个举动使所有的人受益。”  我可以感到他被我的这番话所震动。 我们默默地继续散步，思考、、、。 我能觉察到有一个极为重要的理念正由于这一件生活中的小插曲而进入我们的意识层中。  我很久以来就确信这个关键的价值理念就是人们击垮中国古今专制心态，走向未来自由心态与价值文化的钥匙。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“公民”- Public People,  是基中文病态语言而产生的典型专制词汇。 像我在‘公丑私美’，公恶私德’一文中指出的：  在中国人的病态文化思维中，凡是“公”的与“民”的（政府的，皇帝的，国家的，上级的，多数的、、）就一定是正统的，道德的（伦理）与好的，凡是“私”的与“人”的（个体的，自我的，情感的，理性的、、）就一定是邪恶的，不道德的与坏的。  今天在反共人士们的言论与争辩中，也都只有“国”与“党”的区分与争辩。 “人”与“个体”仍旧还没有进入人们的意识层与语言系统中来。  人们仍在“爱国”与“爱党”的虚无命题中争论不休，将一个虚假的命题作为一个实质的命题而为此打得头破血流。  但从没有人提过“爱人”、“爱自己”、“爱价值”（真实、正义、自由与尊严）。  似乎“人”与“个体”是不值得一提的国家、民族与群体的附庸物，是一个可有可无的，瞬息即逝的虚无。  无怪乎“杀人”与“吃人”一直是“中国人”迷恋的，由追求“宏大的虚无”而产生并传扬的“活死人”Zombies的惯态与自我认同。  为了群体而压抑，残害与消灭个体是被所有中国的人们所接受的，理解的和期待的。 逻辑的结论是：  为了“国”、“党”、“群”、“家”、“族/祖”而否认、贬低、诋毁“人”的与“个体”的价值与利益成为了所有“中国人”共同追求与认同的“宏大虚无”的伪存在。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“公民”- Public People一词 本应是一个多数概念。 但在病态的中文语言里被应用在个体的表述上。  “个群不分”也就应运而生地被所有的中国人所接受并运用在自己的语言系统中，危害着人们的良知与理性的清晰。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“私人”- Private Person,  被中国的人们病态地认为是万恶之源。 殊不知在中国的历史中从未出现过“私人”的概念。 “个体”也就此成为虚无。 所以在中国“人”是不被当人看的。  压抑、迫害，消灭一个个体，在中国是被人们认为是当然的，正常的，必然的与必要的。 只要对大多数人有利，  对“公家”有利，对“国家/党”有利，对“大家”有利，个体的被侵害又算得了什么呢？ 既然“天下是为公”的，那每一个人的个体利益与尊严就不足挂齿。  从古至今，在中文文化的政体与心态中，“土地权”从来都是“公有”的，是属于皇帝的，政府的，人民的，国家的，民族的、、。  今天在中国有“卖地权”的人们也都只能是政府的官员。 当然今天在中国最容易与方便的赚钱途径就是“走官途”去搞一纸“卖地”的批文。  上亿的钱财就会流到这些“公家”官员的口袋里。  如果这种病态的所有权（土地/天下为公）被所有的“中国人”所接受，当国/党/政府为了“公家/国家”的利益来拆你的房子的时候，你又会大哭大叫着去“上访诉冤”，这不是精神紊乱/精神分裂又是什么呢？  但至今我还没有看到一个人对公有的“土地权”（“天下为公”的謬谈）提出质疑与抗议。  这难道不是一个自欺欺人的，只有无灵无智的人们才能进入的“自虐”“自残”的心态文化吗？ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你究竟是一个“公民”（国人）-  一个属于国家、祖宗与民族的财产与工具，还是一个“私人” – 一个对自身的灵、智、体的健康与幸福承担全部责任的，主动的独立体与自由体？  这是每一个想要摆脱中文专制文化心态的人首要发出的，对自我认同的必要先决的命题。  我只希望每一个在中文系统中生活的个体用自身在每一刻所作出的选择与抉择不断地削弱、战胜专制“公民”Public People的心态，走入“私人”Private  Person的，勇于承担道德责任的，自由与尊严的存在状态中去。  只有“私人”、“私产”、“私有”、“隐私”的真实道德存在逐渐在人们中建立起来的时候，专制集权的“公”的暴虐才会在人们强大的“私”的冲击下崩溃与消亡。  将你的手放在你的胸口上扪心问一问： 你真是一个“私人”吗？！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;大陆学者指出，孙中山的革命与毛泽东的共产革命南辕北辙，大陆的"孙中山热"，说明人们正在抛弃共产极权，向往民主，中共本来想作秀，却将自己陷于尴尬境地。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;新唐人记者张丽娜、尚燕、郭敬采访报导&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-5633036325367693913?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5633036325367693913/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=5633036325367693913' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/5633036325367693913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/5633036325367693913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/kai-chen-interview-rid-off-maos-image.html' title='陈凯访谈/【禁闻】老党员呼吁撤换毛泽东像 Kai Chen Interview: Rid Off Mao&apos;s Image'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-4457242212523722624</id><published>2011-10-18T16:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-19T07:36:29.628-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Chinese Girl, 2, Run Over by Van, Ignored by At Least 18 Passers-By  一个女孩儿在中国被轧无人过问</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px;

&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;【大纪元2011年10月18日讯】（大纪元记者张东光综合编译）&lt;br /&gt;广东佛山市近日发生两辆车先后辗过一名年仅两岁的女童王悦悦的娇小身躯，但是十多名路人从她身边经过，视若无睹，在7分钟后，58岁的拾荒阿婆陈贤妹发现后，便将倒在血泊中的她移到路边，并四处呼救。这个令人震惊的视频被贴到优酷网上，浏览人次超过150万次，并引发了网友对现今中国人道德丧失的抨击。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;美国CNN有线新闻网报导，视频显示，卡车司机发现辗到小女孩时，他将车子停了下来，但随后用后轮缓慢辗过她娇小的身躯。那小女孩一动也不动地躺在血泊中，许多经过的路人与脚踏车骑士却漠不关心。几分钟之后，另一辆卡车又辗过小女孩，一点也不减速。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;英国《卫报》引述《上海日报》上周四(13日)报导说，这个小女孩被车撞后受伤，后来死在医院里，但其他的国营媒体则说，她处于重度昏迷状态。彭姓医师向《中国日报》透露，上周日(16日)她已被宣布脑死，随时都会死亡。他还说，她最佳的状态是成为植物人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;周一(17日)下午前，该视频也成为新浪微博浏览最多的视频，超过400万网友对此热烈讨论。许多人说，这太恐怖了，并指责说，善心人士往往会被指控为肇事者，而法官竟然也都支持这样的指控。有人则说，就连手上牵着一名小女孩的女性路人也都视若无睹，现在的道德水准太低下了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;小悦悦的父亲王持昌向CNN表示，周一(17日)下午他的女儿已住进广州市郊的一所军医院中。他说:“我很担心”，“我感到无助和气愤”，“如果有一个路人早一点停下来帮忙，这整件事情不会这么悲惨。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;《中国日报》宣称，那位停下来的女性路人是一个拾荒者，当她试图查看这位小女孩的身份时，但旁边的店家却提醒她不要多管闲事。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;某位网民怒不可抑写道:“良心跑哪儿去啦?中国民众到底怎么了?”许多人则指责，只有那位教育与社会阶层最低的拾荒者停下脚步来帮忙，但其他人都视若无睹。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另位网友说，他对于这个“麻木不仁”的现象感到痛心，但他写道“你愿意将你全家的存款无限制地投入车祸赔偿金的漩涡中吗?你曾想过你全家可能失去幸福，只因你想要成为一个伟大的灵魂?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;58岁的拾荒阿婆陈贤妹形容当时情况说:“血从她的鼻子与嘴巴渗出来，我不了解为何没有人将她从街上抬走。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;某位网友写道:“这样的新闻每次都让我毛骨悚然”，“我们一度相信世界充满爱，政府也教导我们保持高水平的道德标准，但这个冰冷的现实只会让信念在我们的面前飞过。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;王持昌也说:“如果我们的社会持续这样，我小孩的惨剧不会是最后一次。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;许多网民将愤怒的矛头指向漠不关心的路人，并对社会道德的消逝感到痛心，有的网民则从拾荒者陈贤妹的举动看到一丝希望。一位网民说:“这位拾荒者可能从未想过，她其实比我们许多人还要‘富有’，”“她跟从了自己的良心，而这却是我们许多人所丧失的。”&lt;br /&gt;最近几年的中国，在车祸紧急情况中协助伤患很具争议性。由于个人疏忽在车祸中受伤，许多老人为了支付昂贵的医疗费用，反而会指控那些好心在车祸现场帮助他们的路人，还要求他们赔偿。有人怀疑拾荒者陈贤妹是贪图美名来帮忙的，但她说:“当时我并没有想到什么，我只想要救救这个女孩。”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-4457242212523722624?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/4457242212523722624/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=4457242212523722624' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/4457242212523722624'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/4457242212523722624'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/chinese-girl-2-run-over-by-van-ignored.html' title='Chinese Girl, 2, Run Over by Van, Ignored by At Least 18 Passers-By  一个女孩儿在中国被轧无人过问'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-1429986548679392237</id><published>2011-10-17T09:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-17T09:16:42.558-07:00</updated><title type='text'>专访特稿: "全球逐毛日”发起人陈凯 Kai Chen:  Global Day to Denounce Mao</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px;

而领事馆把此事压下来，这件事情就过去了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;强权建立的专制文化&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这件事情虽然过去了，我从这件事情中意识到，&lt;b&gt;毛像不只是中国的专制文化，不只是对专制心态的形成有这么大的作用，同时它对腐蚀整个全世界人的良知起到一个非常逆向的、非常邪恶、罪恶的作用。&lt;/b&gt; 所以我只要看到毛像我不可能不反。 所以在2008年的时候，Reason TV 与我做了个电视节目（在我的网站上可以看到），有8分钟。 就讲古巴的独裁者切.格瓦拉。 美国人穿他的T恤衫，不知道他是杀人狂，尤其在美国人们不了解这个东西，反而把他的形像（因为这个人长得好看）放在身上。 因为这个人可以杀人，他有力量，有强权，所以把他放在身上，当个护身符一样。 他用魔鬼来护身，也就是我把它叫作崇魔的时尚--崇拜魔鬼的时尚（&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPl9Go3hHDI）。" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #de7008;"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPl9Go3hHDI）。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 那些人认为：我也知道他不是什么好人，但他有力量，他有强权，别人不敢动他。 中国人反而不以为耻，反以为荣地认为这就是所谓的（胜者为王的）东方文化。 看到这种情况我就开始了一个举动，我在这个节目中主要讲毛泽东的罪恶。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;从土改开始就杀人，到后来包括反右，所谓百花齐放、百家争鸣。 把人打成右派后下放，家属全都受到重大的牵连、迫害，全家人在众人面前抬不起头来，就业的机会，上学的机会都没有。 杀的人，上吊的人，受不了这种污辱的人，在中国都没有记载，有多少人？ 怎么死的？ 在中国死人算什么！ 反右就死了很多。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;反右以后毛泽东就肆无忌惮的开始用合作化，用公社化强迫所有的农民成为中共政权的奴隶。 从苏联取得原子技术，大量向苏联白给粮食。 因为苏联这是一个非常邪恶的政治制度，所以也根本不出粮食。 毛泽东就把这些粮食送到斯大林的嘴里面，去讨好，为换取苏联的原子技术。 这就是中共如何取得的原子技术的原因。 最近有一个电影《是非》，就是拍摄在中国大陆的大饥荒年代致少有3,000万人丧生。 不是没有粮食，而是中共强迫把粮食拿去送到苏联，去换取原子技术为中共的强权奠定基础。 他要的就是不惜死。&lt;b&gt; 所以毛泽东在叫嚣战争的时候声称，我们要跟苏联、美国打仗的时候，我可以死一半的人，我们这还有３亿。 那时中国是６亿人，他要牺牲中国的一半人来换取称霸世界。 他公开的就这样讲。中国这些民众对他们来说就是他取得那些强权野心的工具，奴隶。 这样的一种工具，这样的一种奴隶！&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;共产党从来没有把人做为一个人。&lt;/b&gt; 一个人有他的尊严，有他的自由，有他自己的选择。 我在我的博客里面说过，&lt;b&gt;我在中国打球打到最高的程度，所有人都羨慕我。 但是我自己从来都没有感到有人把我作为一个人来看，我只不过是一个高级奴工。 因为我在中国长到27，28 岁，没过一天陈凯的生日。 我所过的生日都是毛泽东的生日，各种官方的生日。 在这里面我们所有有尊严的人在他们眼里就是可有可无的奴隶。中国人如果看不到这点，如果今天中国人说现在我们吃的比以前好了，你吃的比以前好并没有改变你跟这个政权之间的关系，你以前是瘦猪现在是胖猪了。你任人宰割被人奴隶的这样一种性质从来没有改变。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;大跃进期间3,000万人死亡，中共说是三年自然灾害。 根本就是人祸！ 哪是什么自然灾害。 在美国每年都有台风、涝灾、旱灾，从来没有在食物上有任何缺陷。 甚至连印度都没出现过饥荒，印度那么穷的社会都没出现过饥荒。&lt;/b&gt; 中国到最后饥荒到什么程度--家长吃自己的孩子，不忍心吃自己的孩子易子而食。 这都是我在打球的时候队友讲的故事，他们在安徽亲眼见，亲耳听过的。 这些都是罄竹难书的罪行。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;还有很多的运动像三反、四清，有相当一部份无辜的人，他们在心理上、身体上受到伤害，根本就没有记录。 然后一直到文化大革命。 一直往前推进到出现89天安门事件，再往前迫害法轮功......。 每一个阶段都有相当一部分人做牺牲品--为了稳固政权而建立的假想敌人。 在每一个阶段都有，这就是专制政权性质所决定的。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;所以在中国共产党执政以后，7千万人的死亡，你怎么能说它有所谓的有功有过呢？ 这个没有什么功过的概念。 在中国什么三七开，四六开，这是一种邪恶的，道德混乱的专制文化的心态。 它把你都杀了，都阉割掉了，把你的尊严整个都打掉了，你还在那给他讲什么功劳，这是什么功劳啊？！你死了几千万人了，你的家庭，你的父老全都死掉了，你还在这跟他讲什么功劳？！ 绝对的道德的混乱！ 如果中国人不在这方面把自己的道德情感调理清楚，什么是不同，什么是邪恶，什么是自由，什么是专制。 而不是说什么："哦，你看以前吃窝头，现在吃白面了。"  把这些作为生活的最大需求。 把在被专制奴役下多一条毯子，多一口饭，作为他整个生命的意义。 这个是专制文化最腐败的地方，这也是专制当权者们尽量地用毛泽东的肖像，尽量地用共产党的强权，用枪杆子压进整个中国民众头脑里的专制文化。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;崇魔的时尚&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;专访特稿：“全球逐毛日”发起人陈凯（下）&lt;br /&gt;Part III, Global Day to Denounce Mao&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;施萍　看中国　2009年08月16日   【看中国特约记者施萍采访报导】&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;美国洛杉矶华人，中国前篮球国家队员陈凯、郭树人通过网络发起销毁毛像行动。陈凯呼吁把今年十月一日订为"全球逐毛日"，号召各界响应撤除毛像、唤醒良知。8月13日记者采访了陈凯先生，他畅谈了本次行动的起因与意义。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;道德的试金石&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;为什么要把今年的"十•一"定为全球的逐毛日？ 而且不光今年的"十•一"，每一年的"十•一"，都要定为全球的逐毛日。 在中共庆祝他们这个所谓共产党建立政权的日子，我们都要做出这样相应的一种行为告诉全世界：&lt;b&gt;这个政权是不合法的！&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;它没有任何的道德基点，没有任何的道德合法性。 在程序上不合法，没有选举。 没有人同意要它（共产党）告诉我怎么做，我没有同意它。 它为什么拿着枪杆子告诉我要怎么样？！这就说明它本身是不合法的。&lt;/b&gt;就是说我们把毛泽东这个邪恶的肖像打下来的时候，用它来告知全世界，告诉所有在中国没有经历过文化大革命，没有经历过这些共产党大规模杀害的年轻人，告诉他们，你应该在道德上建立一个标准，&lt;b&gt;你怎么看毛泽东，是衡量你这个人有没有正义感的试金石。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这样一种专制的文化，因为它不光是共产党用强权、用枪杆子压住你，同时&lt;b&gt;它也阉割了中国人民对自身自由的想法，对自身尊严的这样一种追求。&lt;/b&gt;它完全把人们阉割到这样一种程度。有人说，"是的。 中国人是受压迫，但是你在美国......"。 &lt;b&gt;你压迫美国人你试试？！"你有多少枪，有多少钱......"。 我虽然一分钱都没有，我也绝对不让你骑在我脑袋上拉屎！&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;中国人要反省。共产党欺压人，大量杀害人，你是不是做出任何举动了呢？你有没有任何反抗呢？你有没有任何道德上的清醒呢？ 这也要经常去反省，在将来中国建设一个没有共产党的社会。 要建立这样一种清醒的道德概念。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;唤醒良知&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;那么打毛像这件事情，或者号召全世界"十•一"逐毛运动，全世界每年"十• 一"开展大规模的全球逐毛、排毛运动，每一年都要做。 在中国现在没有可能，可以在海外搞。 &lt;b&gt;每年去做这样事情的话，也就是说在中国政治文化里面注入一剂道德的清醒剂，使中国人开始苏醒。&lt;/b&gt;我挂一个横幅唤醒你沉睡的良知。 良知是每个人生下来上帝给我们的，放在我们身体里面的。&lt;b&gt;为什么在我们生活里，看到强权，威吓、利诱，我们就把我们的良知放弃了？我们自己是有责任的。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;有很多在中国被强权欺压的那些人，甚至到中南海上访这些民众，他们都承认说，我就是没有这个地位，我要是有这地位，我也做同样的事情。 这是大有人在，很多人都这样，我听得太多了！ 我都不知道该怎么跟他们讲。 &lt;b&gt;也就说当你已经把自己的良知整个的都泯灭了，把自己的道德观、正义感、人的尊严整个的泯灭了，你变成一个自己去利用别人或是让别人去利用你，这样一种是奴隶也是主子的心态。我也说过：梦想当主子的人都是甘心做奴隶的人。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;在一个自由社会中，人们都是有尊严的。你不能随便地不经过人允许就威胁利诱人，在下面强迫人做这个事情或者利诱人做那个事情去，这都是不道德的。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;所以说毛像本身就是中国整个专制政治文化的化身，也是残害所有中国人道德良知的、一个专制的结晶。它这个结晶不光是集中国专制之大成，同时也集全世界专制之大成。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你吸白面 - 它是把白面、鸦片都放在一块儿。 每天让你吸这东西。 吸完它这个道德鸦片、精神白面以后， 它是不能营养你的身体的，但是它给你一种幻觉甚至比你吃饭的感觉还要好。 吃饭本身那个营养进入你的身体是一种慢慢的过程，也就是说，&lt;b&gt;在争取自由、争取幸福这样一条道路上是没有捷径好走的。每一个人都要付出他的代价。 你去争取自由、争取幸福，你要有个道德标准在心里。我不能这样去欺骗别人，不能压迫别人。去说谎......。不能去搞些不道德事情。不在于你的地位怎样--我即使一分钱也没有，我也不能做这样的事！ 如果在中国每个人都有这种道德观，共产党末日很快就到了。 &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;承担个体责任&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但是这不是一天、两天建立起来的。 但作为我个人来讲，&lt;b&gt;把毛像的事件做为一个焦点告诉所有中国人：你如果真的想要有尊严，真的想要得到幸福，真的想要拥有真正的自由，一定要释出自己的良知和正义感。 不要把自己物质上的东西看重。就说我比别人多一块手表、冰箱，把这些东西看作比你的生命重要。中国的视野里，繁荣富强、四个现代化成了这个社会的一种标准口号，把物质上的东西做为人们追求的目标，这是绝大的邪恶。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在美国你看：&lt;b&gt;"One nation, under God, indivisible , with liberty and justice for all." &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;也就说我们这个国家，我们这个社会在上帝的眼睛之下是不能分割的，去争取人类与个人的自由跟尊严&lt;/b&gt;。 在美国的视野里从来没有提到什么繁荣富强，从来没有提到过这个现代化，那个现代化，你有几个大哥大，从来没有过。 &lt;b&gt;但是由于你追求这些价值，那些都是应运而来的。 你根本不用去追求这些东西，你只要把每个人的自由都保证的话，每个人都有创造的能力，他都会有创造的价值。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当然了，我也在我的博客里面讲了：&lt;b&gt;伟大的社会是个道德的社会。 很多中国人说：中国是个伟大的社会 、伟大的国家。不是的！ 因为你们没有道德观。你可以说它是个强大的国家，不能说是个伟大的国家。 伟大是个道德的理念！&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;有人打电话到我家，我问他们：你为什么加入我，你为什么要跟我交谈?  我以为他们是要签名逐毛的。 没想到是共产党那些人打电话来骂我的。 他们是骂街，你不能跟骂街的讲道理。 他们的脑子已经病了。 他们在道德上已经做了选择了。 每个人都有良知道德，上帝创造你的时候就给你放进去了。&lt;b&gt; 动物是没有道德观的 ，人是有的。 动物会有为自己的种族延续的这样一种本能，但是它没有道德，只是保护自己后代的。 道德观是完全人类的，在这方面我是很清楚的。 &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;至于今天，打开EMAIL又来几个人骂我。 哈哈，哈哈....，没关系，别担心我。 &lt;b&gt;我知道我做这个事情击中了中共最重要的要害，因为我知道毛像从天安门拿走的那天，就是共产党倒台的一天。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在我脑子里是再清楚不过的，兴起全球抗毛逐毛。 中国有那么多毛像你可以上去画叉的，拿鸡蛋去砸两下；你在100元钞票的毛脸上画叉，你一样可以花。 用你自己的方式在良知里面，把毛这样专治文化的精髓从你生活中驱逐出去，那样我认为是非常有意义的事情。 但是很奇怪，没有其他人来做（这件意义重大的事）?  看到毛像竟然不觉得恶心？ 你看到毛像大摇大摆坐在那儿，你可以走过去，不觉得有种恶心感?  你有没有那个胆量！ &lt;b&gt;我说如果这个世界上都是道德混乱的话，那就让我道德清醒点儿；如果这个世界上都是胆小鬼的话，那就让我勇敢点儿；如果这世界都是黑暗的话，那就把我自己变成一个火炬，照亮人们通向自由的旅程。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;（一比十亿）&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/One-Billion-Journey-Toward-Freedom/dp/1425985025" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #de7008;"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/One-Billion-Journe...m/dp/1425985025&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;（我的路）&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/my-way-four-episodes-of-tv-special.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #de7008;"&gt;http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/...tv-special.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-1429986548679392237?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1429986548679392237/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=1429986548679392237' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/1429986548679392237'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/1429986548679392237'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/kai-chen-global-day-to-denounce-mao.html' title='专访特稿: &quot;全球逐毛日”发起人陈凯 Kai Chen:  Global Day to Denounce Mao'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-5060278416459837117</id><published>2011-10-13T07:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-13T07:42:28.827-07:00</updated><title type='text'>陈凯再版/用宏大的虚无逃避真实与自由  Using Nihilism to Oppose Existence &amp;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;自古以来，中国的崇尚宏大（博大精深）虚无的人们就精心地炮制着逃避真实价值（真实、正义、自由、尊严）与真实的自知与自省的伪语言词汇：  “天下兴亡，匹夫有责”、“修身齐家治国平天下”、“社稷”、“君臣父子”“民族”、“国家”、“大家”、“世界人民”、“中华”、“共和”、“和谐”、“繁荣昌盛”、“荣耻脸皮”、、、。  举不胜举的宏大博大的虚无词汇充斥毒害着人的灵魂与头脑。 谁越宏大、谁越虚无、谁越博大精深、谁越八股玄妙、谁越不可一世、、、，谁就越被中国的宦奴娼们永世赞颂。  谁越“自阉忠君”地去“精忠报国”，谁就越“平凡伟大”而“永垂不朽”。 谁越“伟光正”地去“杀人谋统一”，谁就越会被“代代相传”而“万寿无疆”、、、。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;表达真实价值、概念的词汇无一不是从西方语言翻译来的。 然而这些真实的概念一经中文也大都变成了泛义、反义与无义的表象游戏了。  关于中文的弊病我已在“从文字笼罐到文字狱”一文中阐述过了。 在此就不多叙。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你能相信一个连自己是谁、连自己都不知道自己在说什么、连自己的家人与自身幸福都不管不顾不关心的人能真的为“国”、为“民”、为“大家”、为真理、为正义、为自由、为尊严吗？  “大河有水小河满，大河无水小河干”的反逻辑专制谬论不是至今始终主宰着亿万灭灵贬智的中文词汇系统中的人吗？  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“大禹治水，三过家门而不入”的古话是几乎所有中国的人们熟悉并引为是中国“民族道德精神”的典范的。  殊不知这样的虚无宏大的伪道德行为在自由世界（西方）正常心态的人们中是要被讥讽与笑掉大牙的： “也许大禹在外面有二奶了。” 我的一位朋友曾用玩笑评论道。  我不禁想起了华盛顿将军在独立战争一结束时所要做的第一件事： 回家探望家人、装修房屋、静度庄园的私人生活。  美国的人们是绝不会信任一个不顾自己家人、无视自身幸福的“为社稷、民族、国家、天下”的“无私”之人的。  在美国的总统竞选中，人们会特别关注竞选人的心态、家庭的健康与个体的品质与真实历史。  务实而贬虚、重价值而藐权力、褒真实而辍虚假是每一个自由社会必须建立的思维、行为与心理精神的特质。 一个赤足简衣的木匠 --  基督的精神为这样一个自由社会奠基了健康的灵魂基础：“只有真实才能使你自由。Only truth shall set you free.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;对比一下中国的人们与其专制文化的心态：  所有的人都在用“为他人、为民族、为社稷、为国家”的宏大的虚无为自身的卑鄙行为、自身的胆怯与渺小、自身的被动不负责与受难找借口寻遁词。  “诉苦抱怨”成了中国人们习惯与迷恋的求同情、求怜悯、无奈绝望的求助手段与确定的个体行为方式。  近代的共产专制又将中国古代专制的宏大虚无的词汇量翻了几番：“人民”、“世界大同”、“共产主义”、“阶级斗争”、“唯物唯心”、“法治人治”、、。  数不胜数的博大精深的宏大虚无伪词汇加剧了中国古典专制中本来就充斥的“满嘴仁义道德，一肚子男盗女娼”的丑恶现象。  今天中国语系中的人们很少有具有清晰逻辑思维与清晰道德准则的人。 引经据典、数典念咒的祖宗奴与文化奴充斥着中文文化的地平线。  我所接触的许多海外“反共人士们”也脱不掉这样的病态思维行为方式。 他们一面高叫着反共，一面逃避着自由。  自知、自省、自我完美、自身幸福、爱情家庭、子女教育、个人财经、、是这些自命高尚的中国（后共）未来新专制的主子们所要全力回避逃脱的。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一个生活的逃避者与旁观者不可能是一个真实的自由人。 一个不关心自己心态健康、自己家庭成员幸福、自己生活的满足感的人是  所有的人们都要警觉小心的危险的野心人物。 毛泽东摈弃家人用宏大虚无的伪价值去满足自身的专制野心造成了七千万无辜生命的灭绝。  中国的人们竟将此作为“伟大”为一个世界上最大的罪恶屠夫建庙立堂。 （注：毛曾经亲自主持传播了许多宏大虚无的专制词汇如“万岁”等等。）  今天中共党朝的专制者们正在沿袭所有中外专制者们的宏大虚无的巫术传统，将“崇族崇国崇民崇大崇统崇祖”而灭个体灭自由的病态毒素用像“孔子学院”式的中华“艾滋病原体”传播到世界上去毒害每一个人的灵智。  可悲的是：  那些本来就缺少个体认同而只有群体认同的人们由于自身的恐惧感（惧怕在宇宙中找不到自身的定位）在他们反共的思维与行为中自觉与不自觉地沿袭了充满毒素的病态心理：  人身攻击、拉帮结伙、消灭异己、分类戴帽、用虚击实、造谣中伤、背后议论、取悦于人、重数而灭理、重名而灭灵、重利而灭尊、重群而灭个、重他而灭己、、就成为普遍的必然。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;建立“个体”，“自我”，“自知”，“真实信仰”是中国的人们追求人生的真实价值的先决必须。  我希望每一个“反中共党朝”的人士经常地自我反省询问：“我是不是正在用宏大的虚无逃避自由的责任与真实的价值呢？” 确实的，不断地自诲自问“我是谁？ 我在说什么？  我在做什么？ 我想要什么？ 我的生命有何意义？ 我是否自由与幸福？”是个体推动世界向前演进的必经之路。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;上当一次是骗子的罪过。  再次上当则说明被骗者的病态愚蠢： 中国人世世代代地在“找救星”与“被救星杀、抢、骗”中，被专制的鞭子“陀螺”似地抽转了两千年。  难道中国的人们还不该反省自身的病态和愚蠢吗？  难道中国的人们还要在高速旋转的“僵死不前”、“朝代循环”的幻觉中与“无神政府”的“大公无私”的偶像救星的搜寻中逃避自由与真实的价值、逃避自身的存在与个体道德责任吗？  方向性的选择与选择的代价与责任是中国未来（共后）唯一的走向希望的自由之路。 我愿以我奔向自由的选择与心历路程与你共勉共行。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.smartredirect.de/ad/clickGate.php?u=CHoN7d6s&amp;amp;m=1&amp;amp;p=3r6MDbeCf4&amp;amp;s=&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.us%2Fphoto%2Fmy-images%2F249%2Fmywaydvdcover.jpg%2F" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/8937/mywaydvdcover.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;“我的路 My Way” Link:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;

In China, freedom means  "freedom to intrude upon and harm others". This perverse conception of "freedom"  comes from thousands of years of despotic culture and the Chinese language  itself. Today's extreme tyranny in China is only the poisonous fruit of such a  sick tree, a wicked roots and the poisonous soil. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the West, freedom  goes hand in hand with virtue/Christianity. In China, freedom is to be free from  virtue/Christianity.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;作者： 唐肆啼 &lt;/span&gt;更新於︰2011-10-05  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;陈凯转载&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Kai Chen Reprint: 10/11/2011  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;●  很多西方人都批判中國沒有自由，但是從生活的方方面面看，我覺得事實並非如此。在中國待了五年後，我發覺中國很多地方遠比西方自由：&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;中國已變成性愛天堂&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;一、性自由&lt;/span&gt;：這可能是改革開放以來最大的新自由。以前有關部門管私人戀愛、婚姻生活很嚴格的。八十年代我在上海留學的時候，我的中國女友提出分手的原因是她怕當局的看法，怕跟我交往會影響她的前途。那時候中國的大學生不允許結婚，更不用說跟老外搞什麼自由戀愛。當時沒有什麼娛樂的場所；我剛到中國那天正好是國慶日，晚上十點從上海虹橋機場坐大巴到復旦大學，一路上都沒有看到營業中的飯店，更不用說酒吧、ＫＴＶ或水療中心。現在這些娛樂比西方普遍。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;英國幾乎沒有ＫＴＶ和水療中心，更不要說當官包二奶、包三奶。西方在法律上老早就有性自由，但是我們受到很多道德的約束。在中國雖然有法律的約束，但是在中國因為從傳統道德約束中「解放」出來，中國就變成了性愛天堂(也叫黃色氾濫—自己選擇)。有個老外在上海待了幾年後，寫了一本書描寫上海年輕人對性生活的態度，說money  is sexy and sex is financial（金錢很性感，性交是金融性的。）我的中國朋友又說，現在的性自由應該感謝共產黨：沒有共產黨就沒有性生活！  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;　二、讚美女性的自由。&lt;/span&gt;中國是男人的天下。假如來生可以選擇國籍和性別的話，我會考慮做中國的男人。西方的女人想跟男人競爭，他們的穿著越來越中性化，不穿高跟鞋，不化妝，不穿暴露的衣服，不保持身材。她們認為男女平等，女人沒有必要穿性感的衣服來吸引男人或者說話時笑得很嫵媚。中國人喜歡稱呼年輕的女性為「美女」，而在西方會被認為是對女性的不尊重。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;　三、牽手的自由&lt;/span&gt;。在中國，街上或隨便一個公共場所，有時候可以見到手牽著手的女性，或勾肩搭背的男性。但是在英國很早以前就不能這樣了。在西方同性戀已經被社會所認可了，但是異性戀者卻不想與同性間表現得親密而被誤解是同性戀。所以同性之間在街上或公共場所都不會挨得很親密。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;貪污、吸煙和隨便撒謊的自由&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;四、當官貪污的自由&lt;/span&gt;。用海派笑星周立波的話說，中國的官員就如一個餓了三天的人讓他獨自一人在深夜看守一家肉包子鋪，不偷吃都不是人了。在中國缺少監督的體制下，當官最容易的應該就是貪污了，當官不貪污比貪污還難，這樣還不足以說明在中國當官有貪污的自由嗎？  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;五、亂丟垃圾的自由。&lt;/span&gt;去年夏天我去了福建的一個鄉下，那裡的河床兩邊隔一段距離就有一堆垃圾。那裡的人處理生活垃圾的方法是倒在河床上，等雨水沖走。當我對此提出疑問說下游的人怎麼辦時，他們很是疑惑的問到：下游有什麼人。和我隨行的一位中國朋友說她老家在鄉下，處理生活垃圾也是類似的情況。一塊無主的空地或水溝通常會成為垃圾的最後歸宿。因為在鄉下往往都沒有公共垃圾車或垃圾回收站。最近中國政府用一個導彈炸毀一個廢棄的衛星，大幅的增加了地球高空的垃圾密度，可見中國有在天空丟垃圾的自由。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;六、吸煙的自由。&lt;/span&gt;雖然中國的衛生部在今年頒發了禁止在公共場所吸煙的條例，但是現在公共場所吸煙的人隨處可見，我見到絕大部分的餐廳桌上都擺著煙灰缸，那條例如一紙空文。有次我和幾個朋友一起在一個餐廳的小包間吃飯，其中一個女性朋友是個孕婦，而一個煙癮很重的朋友抽了好幾根煙。在我提出說二手煙對孕婦不好時，朋友還是堅持把點燃的香煙抽完。可見在中國公共場合不能吸煙的意識淡薄到了吸煙成為了一種自由。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;　　七、說謊和作假、盜版的自由。&lt;/span&gt;在我小的時候，我媽媽就教育我誠實是做人最基本的原則。我爸爸也對我說過，一個男人的話就是他的品行，要從說真話開始。長大了我以為全世界的人應該是大同小異，不應該帶任何偏見去跟他們交流。真沒想到，中國人有這種成語，也不是有特別忌諱撒謊。他們經常跟我說，你為什麼不騙某某人開心等話，還鼓勵我騙錢。我的中國前女友騙了我，她說和她的前男友已經分手了，結果我發現，她所謂的已經分手的前男友還是經常到她家過夜。當我提出分手，她提出做我的情人，鼓勵我欺騙我的新女友，還說，要騙就騙到底。還有在中國到處都可以買得到相對來說便宜的盜版書、光碟和盜版名牌。很多老外在中國很喜歡這點，他們可以花很少的錢買到他們喜歡看的電影光碟，因為自己國家沒有盜版自由。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;不必客套、不被尿憋死的自由&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;八、無信仰的自由。&lt;/span&gt;在中國沒有信仰是很普遍的一件事，沒有人會因為自己沒有信仰在社交中而感到不自在。在我的國家雖然不像幾百年以前那麼極端，可能因為沒有信仰而被殺害或受排斥，但是像我這個無神論者還是不能坦然的承認自己沒有信仰，不然有時候會很尬尷。尤其是禮拜天，我常常有一種壓抑感，因為商店不開門，我常常無事可做。在那裡我感覺自己是少數分子，而在中國我是屬於主流，感覺更舒服、自在。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;　九、不用客套的自由。&lt;/span&gt;在英國每天說的最多的可能就是「謝謝」和「對不起」這兩個詞，哪怕是家人之間。如我和我妹妹一起吃飯，我需要用鹽的時候，鹽剛好離她比較近，我讓她幫我遞過來，她馬上不滿的說我怎麼沒有說「請」字。還有一次，我跟一個朋友說我們之間不要這麼客氣，老是說謝謝或對不起，太見外了。他說，謝謝你的提醒，對不起，我不會再這樣了。中國現在的很多教育在向西方靠近，但是這種情況在親人朋友之間還是很少會發生的。在中國熟人之間如果你很客套就顯得很見外了，我們不用擔心因為自己忘記說「謝謝」而讓對方不滿。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;十、吃飯時有發出聲音的自由。&lt;/span&gt;在中國喝湯或吃麵的時候適當的發出一些聲響是很正常的，和失禮是牽扯不上關係的。但是在英國這是大忌。我在中國生活了五年，很多習慣都已經入鄉隨俗了。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;十一、不排隊的自由。&lt;/span&gt;中國的一些新聞報紙，經常會讚美一些自覺排隊的現象──在國外這是很難上報的，就像在中國不會報導說這個人每天都要呼吸空氣一樣。因為在中國很多場所不需要排隊，誰比較強壯，誰速度比較快，誰的社會關係比較硬，誰的錢比較多，就能優先享受某種權利和自由。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;　十二、不被尿憋死的自由。&lt;/span&gt;英國的公用廁所不多，麥當勞這種餐廳也沒有中國多，而在餐廳如果你沒有消費，他們是不樂意讓你使用他們的洗手間的，所以每次出去逛街經常被尿憋得半死。而在中國則再沒有這種壓力，中國到處都有肯德基或麥當勞，就算沒有，很多餐廳你沒消費也不會介意你使用他們的衛生間。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;　十三、打人的自由。&lt;/span&gt;在上海工作的時候，我被我的老闆打了。我去找我的律師，他說在中國只要沒被打到骨折，公安局不會重視這類事情。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;資訊解放，假裝幸福的自由&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;十四、資訊自由&lt;/span&gt;：很多人說在中國沒有資訊自由，但是我到了中國，我感受到資訊的解放。為什麼這樣說呢？因為在國外我經常有一種被資訊轟炸的感覺。資訊太多了。報紙、網路、收音、電影、電視、雜誌整天用資訊來轟炸我。媒體的多元化，什麼樣的報紙，什麼樣的資訊都有。但是這些媒體有一個共同點：負面的資訊比較多，所以說在國外看電視也好，看報紙也好，上網也好，經常感覺很悲傷。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而在中國正好相反，可以看到很多正面的讓人很開心的資訊。另外還有一種解放，時間的解放。因為中國沒有Facebook、Twitter這種網路社交工具，在國外的時候我會在這方面消磨很多時間和朋友聊天、溝通，而來到中國我的時間被解放了。中國有退出互聯網的自由，中國領導有坐井觀天的自由。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;十五、沒有義務的自由。&lt;/span&gt;沒有義務的生活狀態也是一種自由，而這是中國人最重要的自由，也是中國很多其他自由的根源。中國人沒有權利，所以沒有義務是理所當然的。一個奴隸不需要對他的主人很老實；他再老實主人不會很相信他。就算奴隸服從一輩子，只要他做錯一件事，主人會對奴隸說，你看，你的素質那麼低，不值得擁有自由。假如解放奴隸們，搞民主社會，會多亂。所以大部分的奴隸選擇騙主人，假裝幸福的奴隸，對主人的朋友皮笑肉不笑說主人好，等著有機會偷吃點主人的東西，或者跟主人的女傭偷情，或者偷一點主人的錢，或者偷懶。一黨專制的中國不就這樣嗎？其實中國人有一種義務：爭取應有的權利。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當然，在中國不是什麼樣的自由都有，有得必有失。而老外在中國顯然沒有中國人自由。如果一個老外隨地吐痰，很可能會有中國人「呸」的一聲，吐了濃濃的一口痰在地上說：這老外怎麼這麼不文明，隨地吐痰！&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;

It entails how  nowadays the Chinese children fail to honor the ancient Confucian moral code of  filial piety. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some Chinese authorities even try to revive the ancient  practice by erecting laws, enlisting tactics of shame by publishing the names of  those who did not support their parents, and even forcing the school children to  wash their parents' feet after they get home from school and refort their filial  acts back to the school authority. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those of you who fail to see the  connection of Chinese feudal ethics based on Confucian teachings to a despotic  authority still in control of Chinese society, should at least have seen it a  little more clearly by now. The very concept of Nation is expressed in two  characters in Chinese - "Guo Jia" - Nation Family, in congruent with core  Confucian ethics based strictly on the order of "Emperor and Subordinates,  Father and Sons". Now in a soulless Chinese society, the Communist Party and  authorities want to tap into the ancient moral codes to establish some order and  control. Forcing children to take care of their elders is only one of the  tactics they use to enforce the slave mentality in the society. The implication  is unmistakably political - since the offspring have the obligation to serve the  elders, the population has the obligation to serve the nation - the communist  Party-State, by logical extension of Confucian reasoning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say that  Confucian ethics is a pseudo-moral code, precisely because its nature of lack of  freedom and individuality, for all the Confucian ethics are "Others-Oriented",  in contrast to Christian morals which are established on the priciple of Freedom  and a self-directed, self-enforced orientation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loyalty, Filial Piety,  Chastity and Devotion to Friends are all dependent on others to judge one's  worth in his pursuit of being moral. One is only to perform for others and the  state throughout his life, NOT to live for his own goals and innermost  yearnings. And this code of ethics is strictly hierarchical and one-way street.  There has never been an element of Emperor being loyal to his subordinates. The  very term Loyalty implies bottom-up direction. There has never been an element  of parents or elders being dedicated to and caring for their children. Childrens  are tools for the elders, and are subjects to their elders no matter how old  they are. "When father wants his son to die, his son has to die". There has   never been a demand of husband to his wife. Chastity is strictly for women, with  their unconditioned submission and bond-feet to please men. There has never been  admission and recognition of self-interest and individual dignity. Pleasing  others and friends, being used and even abused by them, is viewed as devotion  and ultimately ethical. There have no standards on these codes are judged and  evaluated, except in others' eyes, in the collective and superiors' feelings.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Confucian ethics, somehow being used by others and using others are  justified as being the very sign of Chinese identity. Using themselves as means  to an end, to the collective and others, and using others without consent to  justify some lofty goals are viewed not only as normal and Chinese, but as the  ultimate morals. Cultural slavery is the necessary outcome of these  pseudo-morals and ethics. And the very despotism come Chinese claim to dislike  and despise is precisely established on this "Others-Oriented" fake morals.  Everyone in this code justifies their own men-using and men-eating, under the  lofty Confucian ethics. Everyone is also justifying their victimhood and  helplessness by saying they are the products of their own cultural environment  and they can never be free from their own Chineseness given by their own  ancestors. Everyone is vehemently Nationalistic in defending this pseudo code of  honor. The recent return of Wang Zhizhi to China to serve the Party-State's  interests is only one examples of such moral degradation and corruption.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In sharp contrast, Freedom is the prerequisit in Christian morals and  ethics. All the morals are accepted by individuals, NOT forced upon them.  Equality is the necessary outcome of this moral code. Every individual is a  beginning and end to himself and the only judge of his moral behavior is God  through his own conscience. Thus Christian ethics is Self-Oriented and  Self-Directed. Any suggestion of force and involuntary action by individuals are  viewed strictly as immoral and corrupt. Individuals are not to be used as  animals, as means to an end, no matter how lofty the end might be, no matter how  much power and how many people the enforcer possesses. This is real morality,  real ethics. They are timeless values encoded in our genes and bones, and  embobied in our yearning for liberty, life and happiness. This is HUMAN morals  and ethics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who profess to love freedom and also love Confucian  ethics should have realized the intrinsic contradiction of their mind-set. One  cannot truly love freedom without accepting the very responsibility it entails.  One cannot truly understand liberty without understanding choice and open-ended  possibilities. Those who want their group identity to supercede their individual  identity should have given the very results it always leads to the proper name -  Slavery. Those who claim to want freedom yet don't want to cast away the fake  security and certainty the slave owners always promise and guaranty their  subjects should properly name their actions as "Prostitution with a Chastity  Plate hanging in front of their chests". Those who want to plant bitter melon  vines in their fields, but refuse to accept the bitter fruits, or deny their  original intention by saying "I never meant that the fruits are bitter" should  property get their heads examined, for they are bordering on Bipolar and  Schizophrenia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I have encountered many Chinese and many in the  liberal left in America, I have found this border-line Bipolar and Schizophrenia  to be prevalent. All of them claim to have good intentions, all of them claim to  want to save others and serve others. (Even today forcing and conditioning  individuals to Serve the People is still the paramount accepted and promoted  ethics in China.) All of them excuse themselves when they see the murder and  mayhem in their beloved despotic countries and collective nations around the  world with wail such as "I didn't mean that when I first supported their  ideologies" or "the ideologies of Communism and Fascism are good, only the  practice of Bad people give them bad names". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where are your individual  moral integrity and responsibility? Where is your mental faculty for reason and  logic? Where are you as an indivisible individual?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**************************************** &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;平里 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;注册时间:  2006-02-18 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;发表于: Sun Apr 30, 2006 11:04 pm  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;To Kai Chen: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my humble opinion,  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Communist authority does not represent China. It only represents an evil  force that stole and trampled China. Whatever it perpetrates in China at current  stage can not be taken as an account against Chinese culture. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;// The key  for sustaining any society is its legal system instead of the cultural custom.  Any modern society that depends on cultural custom is doomed to lose the trust  by the ordinaries. As the excellent example you provided, the communist just  tries to take off the responsibility for caring elders. Any responsible  government should provide a certain amount of money to each elder  indistinguishably as USA. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;// The legitimate comparison should be between  two family in the same social system. Taking the example a Chinese family with  elders and an American family both in USA receiving the same government support,  which parents enjoys more of their lives? I think it'll be Chinese family where  the parents receives much more children's visit due to their filial tradition.  In contrast, the American elders most likely receive much less, if any, visit  from their children. Therefore, Chinese elders will be happier in a healthy  social system thanks to their Confucius culture. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;// I do admit that  Chinese culture including Confucius doctrines have lots of downside that needs  to be cleaned up but this, the filial tradition, is good.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***************************************** &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;发表于: Mon May 01, 2006  1:34 pm 发表主题: reply to Pingli 平里 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dear Pingli: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The trap the false morals that the Chinese often fall  in is what I have already stated: They attach certain concrete appearances with  morals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, elders should be respected regardless. As a moral  and an ethic, it sounds perfectly OK. But to dwell deeper into it, you can see  this is exactly what China's despots' depend on - absolutel obedience and  conformity, not to moral absolutes, but to authoritarian power based on old age.  The old-age politics in China has doomed generations of Chinese with a stagnant  and rigid political culture, void of any new ideas and fresh blood, therefore  void of any vitality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respect and love has morals in them. They are  earned, not given. Should you respect Mao because he was older than others?  Should the elders abuse their offsprings at will simply because they are old?  Should a dying Aids patient smear his feces onto others simply because he is  going to die? Should Rodney King who was beaten by the Police unjustly be viewed  as a hero? Is victim always just and good? Is poverty always a virtue and being  rich always immoral, or vice versa? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I admire those in America whose  parents have neglected them or abused them eventually have the courage to face  their past abuses and draw a moral line with their parents, to devote their  lives never to abuse and neglect their offsprings. NBA's Spurs' Bruce Bowen is  only one example. His parents totally abandoned him when he was young. But he  had found a way not just to survive, but to thrive as a great human being. When  his birth parents attempt to come back to his life, he refused to let them, for  he knows a line has to be drawn so he is not going to repeat the past evil.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do indeed regularly visit my mother, 86. It is not because I am  obligated by tradition that I do it, buy because I love her, for she never  abused me. This is more than I can say for my big brother who regularly beat me  up for no reason. I never call him or visit him. I meet him only once a year  when my mother has a gathering. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some say that China is like a mother, no  matter how ugly she is, she is still your mother. I entirely oppose such a view  for it implies a fake moral. What is this mother raped you and abused you and  poisoned you? What is this so called mother is not only ugly, but evil? Are you  still obligated to love her? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Evil is perpetuated this way: In psychology  you often find people who have been abused often abuse others. People who have  been abused as a child often repeat the pattern in abusing their own children.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone has to have the moral clarity and courage to draw a line, to end  this vicious cycle of abuse. Victims and victimizers must be eliminated at the  same time, the abusers and the abused, the masters and the slave, the scam  artist and the ignorant stupid takers must be disappearing at the same time. A  good cycle of human dignity, self-respect and true morality must be established.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With respect and best wishes. Kai Chen  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**************************************** &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;平里 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;注册时间:  2006-02-18 &lt;br /&gt;帖子: 25 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;发表于: Tue May 02, 2006 11:38 am  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;To Kai Chen: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my view on China's  motherhood. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China has been and will continually to be my dear  motherland. &lt;br /&gt;However, she is sick, sickened by tuberculosis and  schizophrenia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a child, I feel responsible to treat her with all my  asset. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, most people don't feel the sickness of our motherland,  due to the heavy impact from propaganda. Some rather ignore the illness of our  mother, violating the very concept of filial piety spirit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our culture,  in current China, is in a non-existence status, destructed by the communist.  Anything you describe as vulgar to China or Chinese people can not be attributed  to the non-existing thing, our culture. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It'll be, to certain degree,  legitimate for you to comment on our culture by describing Taiwan people's  behavior since they don't have communist ruining their cultural spirit. If  Taiwan is as vulgar as China, I will probably think of China's cultural problem.  But I don't think that's the case for Taiwan. From my father's comment, Taiwan  people behaves more like our Chinese people before 1949, reflecting our culture  more, even not perfectly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think we are seeing China from different  perspectives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****************************************** &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;发表于:  Wed May 03, 2006 8:31 am 发表主题: reply to Pingli 平里  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dear Pingli:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Thanks for a thoughtful message and I appreciate it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes indeed, Taiwan has made a great progress toward the direction of  freedom, human dignity and rights. There is no doubt about it. We are all proud  of what Taiwan can achieve with only a few decades' hard work, with the moral  compass of liberty, democracy, human rights, truth, justice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My only  contention with you is you think this progress is because of Chinese culture,  not inspite of obsticles posted by the Chinese culture, while I think the reason  is the opposite. It is because in Taiwan, the Western culture of humanity and  individual human rights has, despite the poisons left by our Chinese ancestors,  indeed taken roots, due to the transformation of its culture and cultural soil  content. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you study the vocabulary of the Taiwanese people, you will  find most of it are translated from English. If you read Taiwanese papers, many  terms and vocabulary are new and nonexistenct a few decades ago. Taiwanese  economy has been sustained by its trade with America and the West. Taiwanese  students have been educated in America and West, and most Taiwanese elite and  government officials are proficient in English. Many of them have degrees in  American universities. Taiwan's constitution is modeled after America's with its  inner checks and balances, with its separate branches of government. Freedom of  speech, nonexistence with our Chinese ancestors, is guanrantied now in Taiwan.  The news media provides further more check and balances on governmental abuses.  Men and women have equal rights in voting and expressions. This phenomenon is  nonexistent with our ancestors. Different religions can coexist peacefully in  Taiwan and Christianity played a big part in forming this tolerent culture. Sun  Yetsun and Li Denhui were Christian believers, humanity, NOT being Chinese, are  their first concern. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can list many of positive changes in Taiwan, not  because of their Chineseness, but inspite of it. Nonetheless, Taiwan has  provided a positive role model to China. It has proven that transplantation of  Western model of democracy and liberty to ensure human dignity is not only  feasible, but workable as well. But the prerequsite of such a transplantation  has to be a cultural soil content transformation. Otherwise, no matter how good  the ideal is and how excellent the seed is, it will rot in a poisonous soil  composite. It will never bud and fruit. Taiwan has a long way to go, but its  direction is definitely right. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contrast to what China has now: None of  the Chinese current leaders has been educated in the West. Very small percetage  of population in China speak English, none in the Politburo does. The fact is  that only the Communist Politburo controls China, not the government. Army is  loyal only to the Party and the despots. The mainland communist regime did  everything to filter out Western infulence even its economy depends on America  and West. The internet police have effectively checked and eliminated exchange  of ideas with America and West. People in the mainland will not see and read  what we are doing on this forum. Religion in China is government controlled for  the only purpose of "serving the state". Press is not free to express. There is  no private land ownership, much like in our ancestors' time, everything is  emperor's. Government is not legitimate in nature by the consent of the  governed, by election, their legitimacy is only by the muzzle of a gun, much  like our ancestors. Constitution is fake for it espouses Communist's absolute  power over people. There is no independent judiciary and separation of power in  the government, much like our ancestors. Women's rights are trampled for they  are not equal with men, girls are routinely drowned in China's "one child" evil  policy, much like the practice by our ancestors. Individuals have no rights to  express and they are used and educated to be the tools of the state, much like  our ancestors.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are honestly taking a look at what is happening  in China and in Taiwan, you have to say Taiwan cannot be farther apart from our  ancestors and their despotic traditions; and China cannot be more resembled of  the despotic values and traditions of our ancestors, with no elections, no  rights, no freedom to express, no equality, no democracy and its  institutions.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This misperception and misconception of that Taiwan is  more Chinese are all products in people's fantasy and illusion. It simply is NOT  a reality. Open your eyes in your mind and your soul, you may see the truth.  Please stop thinking with your Chinese character-based language, with your skin  color or the illusory cultural heritage, or national borders and start thinking  with your brain which is designed for thinking, and start cleansing your souls  with humanity and decency to rid off the decay. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best regard.

style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;《被欺骗的中国人》 二十五 儒教是道德杀手&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;中国人一提到道德，所指的就是儒教道德，仿佛道德属孔家专卖，此外别无分店。这是个认识上的误区，在这个世界上，有着形形色色的道德，每一种宗教都是一套完整独立的道德价值观。这些价值观并不相同，甚至相互对立，但他们都自称自己是真善美，于是世界上便有了无休止的争吵和战争。  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;道德包括的内容很广泛，比如真与假，善与恶，美与丑，正义与邪恶，诚实与欺诈等等，其中有些内容以上诸节已经提过，这里，咱们就从诚信、公德、奸淫、残忍四个方面来看看孔家店里出售的“道德”到底是个什麽玩意儿。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;儒教是一种无神论宗教，是一种反宗教宗教，是一种“反话”宗教，因为他所标榜的，与它最终所导致的结果正好相反：它标榜忠，结果中国人最不忠；它标榜孝，结果中国人最不孝；它标榜诚信，结果中国人最狡诈。  &lt;br /&gt;中国人的狡诈是举世闻名的。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在欧洲人将中国视为乌托邦而大肆鼓吹中国的思想启蒙运动时期，著名思想家孟德斯鸠就不客气地指出：  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“在拉希代孟，偷盗是准许的，在中国，欺骗是准许的。”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“（在中国）一切用暴力获得的东西都是禁止的，一切用术数或狡诈取得的东西都是许可的。”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;用中国老百姓的话说就是：“打死人偿命，缺死人不偿命”。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“中国人的生活完全以礼为指南，但他们确实地球上最会骗人的民族。这特别表现在他们从事贸易的时候。虽然贸易会很自然地激起人们信实的感情，但他却从未激起中国人的信实。向他们买东西的人要自己带秤，每个商人有三种秤，一种是买进用的重秤，一种是卖出用的轻秤，一种是准确的秤，这是和那些对他有戒备的人们交易时用的。  ” ⑴ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今天中国的消费者都熟悉第二种秤，即卖出时的轻秤。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黑格尔为中国人的欺诈找了原因：中国人没有荣誉感，残酷的体罚随时随地都会发生，父亲对儿子，皇帝对大臣，官吏对百姓，甚至官吏对官吏。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“中国人没有荣誉感，自卑，所以导致道德败坏，欺诈成风。”⑵  &lt;br /&gt;中国人小的时候尚有荣誉感，但在成长的过程中，这种天生的荣誉感就被家长、警察的打骂训斥和群众的嘲笑一点一点给抹煞了。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;英国思想家罗素对中国是友好的，１９２０年他到中国访问，曾称赞了中国的民风、文教与艺术，但私下在给情人的信中他却说：  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“中国非常压抑，他正在朽败腐烂，就像晚期的罗马帝国一样。” &lt;br /&gt;“中国人没心肠、懒惰、不诚实。”⑶  &lt;br /&gt;到底是思想家，中国人没心肠，也看得出来。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一位英国教授吉德（Ｋｉｄｄ　１７９９－１８４３）曾说：  &lt;br /&gt;“倘若选择一种可作为中国人特性的美德，使它不仅在实践中会遭到排拒，而且从理论上讲，与现实的虚伪处世态度形成了最鲜明的对照，那么选择“信用”就是再恰当不过了，中国人的公私道德往往与真正的诚挚守信如此截然对立，以至于任何敌对一方都完全可以选取中国人的言行不一，口是心非作为嘲讽他们的生动材料。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;虚伪、欺骗、不守信用、趋炎附势才是中国人最为突出、鲜明的特征。”⑷ &lt;br /&gt;一针见血。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在中国生活了近５０年的美国传教士明恩溥（１８４５－１９３２）则说：  &lt;br /&gt;“中国人缺乏信用最典型的一方面便是体现在他们对待孩子的行为上。他们不时告诫自己的孩子，不要讲求信用，不过，无论是大人还是孩子，都没有意识到这一事实。”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“  一位中国教师，被雇请抄写和注释中国的格言，在写下古人一句绝妙的格言后，便为之进行注释道：即使在别人粗鲁地向你求助时，也绝不应拒绝，相反，应在表面上答应下来，虽然内心毫无相助之义，先拖到明天，再拖到后天，他解释说，这样，你就心安了。据我们所知，这一方法，正是有债款要还的中国人在别人讨债时通常所采用的，没有人会奢求他在一提出偿还要求时，便能收回自己的债款，因此没能收回时，他也绝不失望。不过，欠债人一般会最肯定的告诉他，下一次一定还给他，要不就下下次，下下下次再还给他。”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“假分量、假尺码、假钱钞、假货物、这些在中国都是在所难免的。甚至在挂有醒目的大招牌“货真价实”“言不二价”的远近有名的大字号，也是说一套，做一套，明一套，暗一套，里面的东西与他所标榜的，根本就不是一回事。”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“中国社会，只要有信任便会有足够钱财拿出来开发利用丰富的资源，发展他的实业。中国地大物博，资源丰富，这方面有得天独厚的优越条件，可惜一直未加以利用，因为整个社会都缺乏一种相互信任、诚实、守信的作风，人们都将自己积敛起来的财富妥善、秘密地藏了起来。这样就导致了社会资金的分流与不集中。试想，在如此虚伪、欺诈的社会氛围之下，谁又肯将自己辛辛苦苦挣来的一点钱拿出来给公家使用呢？对当前的中国，拥有什麽，缺少什麽，必须要有充分的了解。她完全有足够的知识、学问来满足它的各种需要，在每一方面，也都不缺少人才，但是，彼此间缺乏建立在真挚基础上的相互信任，使所有的这一切均不足以复兴帝国。”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;本来还认为，中国人的骗术很高，很有人情味，没想到人家欧美人是火眼金睛，比中国人自己看得更透彻。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;清朝、民国、直到今天，中国的社会如此一致，竟如克隆一般，当然，也有“与时俱进”的一面，那就是造价的技术更高了，范围更广了，行骗的手段更多了。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;张三造假酒骗李四，李四造假烟骗王五，王五造假药骗赵六，赵刘给猪喂瘦肉精、给猪肉注水再骗张三、李四、王五，如此循环不已……。中国人也知道这种互骗游戏规则的最终结果是大家均成为受害者，但是谁也改变不了他，只能适应它。那些有权力、有责任改变他的执法者，也不能、不想改变它，因为他们是这个互骗游戏规则的最大受益者。人人都遵纪守法，他们除了工资之外就不会有任何油水，人人造假作弊，他们就可处处揩油。这油水最终出在消费者身上，造假行骗者无意间都成了官爷们的“税收员”，官爷们怎么可能动真格的查处他们，自断财路呢？  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这个互骗的游戏规则是缺乏诚信、道德败坏的产物，反过来，他又加剧了道德败坏。人人都给猪肉注水了，你也必须给猪肉注水，否则，你将会被淘汰出局。人人都给猪肉注水了，只有注得多的人才会有利润可赚。适者生存，在中国，只有心狠手黑的人才会成为最终的成功者。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;那些将美国成功人士作为自己的学习榜样的中国年轻人无疑是天真的、幼稚的。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;对此丑陋的规则，难道中国人就不感到恶心，就不想去改变它？中国人也感到恶心，也想去改变它，但从来就没有成功过，因为他是中国传统专制帝国的一个有机组成部分，它的渊源正是中国人崇拜的儒教。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;儒教不是教人诚信的吗？相互欺诈怎能归罪于他？还是来让我们来看看儒教是怎样教人的诚信的吧。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;子曰：“弟子入则孝，出则弟，谨而信，（处世谨慎而诚实守信）泛爱众，而秦人；行有余力，则以学文”。⑸（《论语•学而》）  &lt;br /&gt;子夏曰：“与朋友交，言而有信。虽曰未学，吾必谓之学矣”。⑹《论语•学而》  &lt;br /&gt;子曰：“君子不重则不威，学则不固；主忠信，（座仁义忠信诚实为主）无友不如己者，过则勿惮改”。⑺（《论语•学而》）  &lt;br /&gt;子曰：“人而无信，不知其可也……。”（一个人不讲信用，不知道他将如何立身处世。）⑻（《论语•为政》） &lt;br /&gt;……  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;孔丘师徒讲诚信，言之凿凿，如果我们人人都按“圣人”的话去做，岂不是就可以杜绝欺诈了吗？怎能将欺诈归罪于儒教呢？  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;先不要急于下结论，还是让我们把他们师徒的话听完。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;子贡问道：“怎么样才可以算士呢？”孔丘说：“对自己的行为有羞耻心，出使外国不辱君命，就可以算士了。”子贡说：“请问那次一等的呢？”孔丘说：“宗族里称赞他孝顺，乡亲们称赞他敬爱兄长。”子贡说；“请问那再次一等的呢？”孔丘说：“说话一定守信用，行为一定有结果，这是倔强固执的小人那！不过也可以算是那次一等的了。”（原文：言必信，行必果，硁硁然小人哉！抑亦可以为次矣。）（硁硁：认真固执的样子。）⑼（《论语•子路》）  &lt;br /&gt;子曰：“君子贞而不谅。”（君子坚守正道而不拘泥于信用）⑽（《论语•卫灵公》）  &lt;br /&gt;孟子曰：“大人者，言不必信，行不必果，唯义所在。”（高尚的人，说出的话没必要守信，所办的事没必要有结果，只要符合道义就行了）（11）（《孟子•离娄下》）  &lt;br /&gt;孟子曰：“君子不亮（同谅），恶乎执！”（君子不守信用，认真固执是不好的）（12）（《孟子•告子下》）  &lt;br /&gt;哦！原来孔孟的诚信是针对百姓、小人说的，君子、大人是没必要遵守的，谁遵守，谁就成了“硁硁”的小人了，就不是君子了。这种针对百姓、小人的诚信，是奴才的诚信。的确，如果百姓、小人们不诚信，不老实，统治起来不就太困难了吗？  &lt;br /&gt;子曰：“上好礼，则民莫敢不敬；上好义，则民莫敢不服；上好信，则民莫敢不用情。”（13）（《论语•子路》）  &lt;br /&gt;子夏曰：“君子信而后劳其民，未信，则已为厉己也；……”（14）（《论语•子张》）（君子应先确立信誉，然后再去劳役人民，不然的话，人民就会认为君子在伤害欺骗自己。）  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;孔丘师徒不让君子们讲信用，但为了奴役人民，还必须做做样子。这不是明着在教统治者怎样去欺骗人民的吗？  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;儒教是一种积极入世的宗教，他认为人们通过学习就可以提高自己的道德修养，就可以成为君子。君子，是褒义的，是指道德高尚的人；小人是贬义的，是指道德败坏的人。人是向善的，都愿意当君子而不愿当小人，人们坚持不懈学习的最终结果就是个个都成了“言不必信，行不必果”的君子。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;表面上儒教在教人诚信，实际上他是个地地道道的欺诈教唆犯。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;儒教的欺骗性很强，这在“诚信”上表现得最明显。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;孔丘和孟轲说君子可以不守信用，是有个冠冕堂皇的条件的，那就是君子行事要符合道义。他们所说的“道义”是个什麽东西呢？就是道教所追求的那个惚兮恍兮，窈兮冥兮的，莫测高深，通融善变的“道”。认真、固执、信用、操守等“硬”的东西都是与这个“虚”的、“软”的“道”所格格不入的。  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;”是以圣人后其身而身先，外其身而身存，非以其无私邪？故能成其私。“（15）（《老子•七章》）  &lt;br /&gt;”将欲歙之，必固张之；将欲弱之，必固强之；将于废之，比固兴之；将欲夺之，必固与之。是谓微明，柔弱胜刚强。鱼不可脱于渊，国之利器不可示于人。“（16）（《老子•三十六章》）

And I use 精明 "shrewd" to  indicate a degree of being calculating, manipulating, self-deceiving, vicious  cleverness, faithlessness and short-sightedness.... I use 愚蠢 “stupidity" to  indicate a state of mindset that lacks true intelligence, and at the same time  treasuring that lack of intelligence as the essential of the Chinese culture.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason for such a derogatory description is not without basis, and  that basis is the Chinese cultural tradition and its emphasis on the so called  wisdom of "man struggling against man" as the first and foremost attibute a  Chinese person should learn and master. Mao in his proud self-portrait declares:  There is an endless joy in the struggle of man against other men. And you must  have had the intimate experience of the first lessons in your life by your  parents and teachers in which you are NOT taught how to discover and understand  the reality and objective world truth, but how to deal with others, to obey, to  manipulate, to take advantage of others without being detected, how to climb the  social ladder.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you observe carefully how the Chinese interact  with each other, you will validate my point of view by noticing from the Chinese  eyes. They are avoiding truth, but searching to detect the tiniest cracks and  weaknesses from other humans, so they can worm into their confidence and  manipulate them for their own benefit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the Chinese literature is  about how to survive despotism, how to become a despot, how to manipulate  others' emotions and strategize to seize and usurp power, how to be loyal to the  oppressors and how to intimidate and control your subjects.... When　Ｉ mentioned  to others that my experience as a Chinese in the mainland is nothing but hell,  people had never failed to remind me that there are others who had worse  experiences. It is as if one should be satisfied in a cage so long as one is  better fed than those around him. "As long as you are a fatter pig than other  pigs in the pigsties, you are a happier pig." has long become the Chinese  definition of happiness. So hell in this sense is no difference from heaven.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has never been such thing in the Chinese literature as that one  should fight against injustice, slavery, despotism and to establish truth,  justice, freedom and better future. To a Chinese, there is no better future.  Everything has already been destined to happen by his ancestors and fate. So  what's the use to struggle? So it is wise to just wait, be patient, endure and  die with others in misery. This is the ultimate Chinese wisdom: Die for the  others, for the state and the emperors, die with others suffering with you, with  contentment and gratitude to those who oppressed you, for otherwise, you will be  lost (since oppression is the only form of one's self-identity). Then and only  then, maybe you will have a better after-life, after your corpse is eaten away  by the parasites and the elements. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, it seems that the only  purpose for a Chinese to exist is to please others and to serve the collective  -- the state. It has never remotely occured to the Chinese that a person has a  special meaning on this planet earth, and he has a destiny by God to fulfill.  Only he himself can find that destiny and purpose in his life and no one else  should interfere in this regard. Only by having fulfilled that sacred destiny,  true happiness is possible and the world will progress to a better future.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In sharp contrast to the Chinese wisdom of "happier slaves", in the West  and America, wisdom is defined as the intelligence to understand the laws of  nature and God, and the ability to observe these objective laws and rules set  not by man, but by the divine providence -- our creator. All the inventions in  the West are associated with the discovery of the objective truth and reality,  with the discovery of God's law. So there is always a sense of progress and hope  for human beings. Tomorrow is better than today, because humans are free, under  God. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Struggle against injustice, depotism, slavery and oppression and  struggle for human joy and happiness, for human freedom and progress, for a  better future have always been the central theme in the Western literature. From  Shakespeare to Tolstoy, from Plato to Adam Smith, from Galileo to Einstein,  human intelligence and wisdom is in full display. Truth, justice, freedom are  always the goals and purposes of human exploration and discovery. Happiness and  self-fulfillment has always been the ultimate achievement for human beings. This  indeed, my fellow travellers toward freedom, is the individual human being's  greatness. This indeed, my fellow former Chinese compatriots, is what a human  being should aim at and strive to achieve. This indeed, my pitiful slave-minded  ancestral land, is the God's way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Small-man politics and slave-minded  cultural tradition of the Chinese should long have been placed to rest, forever  and ever, never allowed to return. The corrupt wisdom of man-eating-man,  man-struggling against-man aught to be turned upside down and a new form of  wisdom with true human intelligence based on God's law of freedom, justice and  truth should be established from scratch. A new mindset, a new culture, a new  type of human beings must be initiated, promoted and sustained on the  despotism-ravaged land of Asia and Chinese mainland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My forum is my way  to address these fundamental issues, to expose the evils and ills in the Chinese  cultural mindset, to promote the new human culture originated and established in  the West and in America, and to start a new mode of thinking and behaving for  those willing Chinese. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-5074506276116772099?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5074506276116772099/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=5074506276116772099' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/5074506276116772099'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/5074506276116772099'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/typical-chinese-shrewd-with-no.html' title='陈凯再版/精明而愚蠢的中国人  Typical Chinese - Shrewd with No Intelligence'/><author><name>Kai Chen  陈凯</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12640485447029092425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h7Np20tLxmg/TDZu3_7-_HI/AAAAAAAACMI/xvHdHCSzxqg/S220/CK+raising+arms+in+run..jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221684858728352705.post-5388249026126366558</id><published>2011-10-04T08:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-04T08:44:06.081-07:00</updated><title type='text'>China or the US?

That  emerging struggle is already posing awkward choices for Asian countries, caught  between the two global giants.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday the US senate pressed  forward with a bill allowing for the imposition of tariffs on Chinese goods.  Even if the protectionist drive in America now pauses for a while, this  confrontational mood in the US poses a dilemma for China’s neighbours. China is  now the largest trading partner for Japan, India, Australia, South Korea and  most of the nations of south-east Asia. But these countries still have their  most important military relationship with the US. How long can their economic  and strategic interests point in different directions? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not for long, if  one is to judge by an editorial in the People’s Daily last week. The official  newspaper of the Chinese Communist party took aim at “certain countries” who  “think as long as they can balance China with the help of US military power,  they are free to do whatever they want”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The article was probably  provoked by a statement from Japan and the Philippines, the previous day, in  which the two countries promised to boost naval co-operation and implicitly  disputed China’s extensive territorial claims in the South China Sea. But  China’s warning could equally have been aimed at Vietnam, India, South Korea,  Australia or Taiwan – all of whom have moved over the past year to strengthen  military ties with America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The irony, of course, is that it is  precisely Chinese sabre-rattling, exemplified by that article in the People’s  Daily, that is sending its neighbours running screaming into the arms of Uncle  Sam. Until recently China seemed to be playing an intelligent waiting game –  relying on its growing economic strength to draw its neighbours inexorably into  a Chinese sphere of influence. Now the People’s Republic risks overplaying its  hand – and so creating the anti-Chinese alliance that it both fears and  denounces. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A more patient policy would make sense for China because it  is likely to be the world’s largest economy by 2020. The US remains the world’s  dominant military power – and is even the pre-eminent military force in China’s  own Pacific backyard. But since political and military power usually track  economic power, American hegemony in the Pacific Ocean may ultimately be  unsustainable. It is this point that the People’s Daily was alluding to, when it  warned – “No country wants to give back their ticket for the high-speed train of  China’s economic development.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the US government borrowing 40 cents  of every dollar that it spends – and China the largest foreign buyer of US debt  – the Chinese are indirectly funding American military dominance of the Pacific.  Even as America’s allies in the region move to strengthen ties with the US, they  worry that America’s money problems will force the country to scale back in the  Pacific. At the same time, China is building up its own military. American  planners point to the development of a new range of Chinese missiles that  directly threaten the airbases and aircraft carriers on which America bases its   military dominance in the Pacific. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China’s neighbours are also worried  by the country’s growing muscle – and its willingness to flex it. Over the past  couple of years, China’s maritime disputes with Vietnam and Japan have taken on  a new bitterness – with clashes on the high seas followed by bitter diplomatic  exchanges. The Indians say that China is becoming more assertive about its  claims to parts of Indian territory. The South Koreans are also jumpy about  China’s relationship with the North. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The  dark interpretation of China’s actions is that nationalist forces and the  country’s military are becoming more influential in Beijing. A younger  generation is coming to power, schooled to believe that China has been  victimised by the outside world because it has been weak. The current contrast  in the economic fortunes of China and America has also increased China’s  confidence and assertiveness.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A  more benign interpretation of Chinese actions is that the country now has a  growing range of economic interests around the world – which makes it all but  inevitable that it will spend a lot more on its military and will be tougher in  asserting its interests. The hungry Chinese economy is dependent on imported  energy – and would be vulnerable to a naval blockade. Building a few aircraft  carriers and submarines, and pushing China’s claims to the energy riches of the  South China Sea, might seem like a sensible precaution for the Chinese  government – rather than the aggressive claim to regional dominance that its  neighbours fear.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet even this relatively benign interpretation  of China’s actions is not entirely reassuring. It suggests that China and the US  are increasingly likely to interpret each other’s actions and alliances as  threatening – and to respond in ways that then feed the other side’s perception  of aggression. This is a pattern of great power behaviour that might ring a bell  for students of 20th century history. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet amid all these tensions,  diplomatic exchanges across the Pacific continue. Next month Barack Obama will  host all the major powers of the region, including China, at the Asia-Pacific  Economic Co-operation summit that will be held in the president’s native Hawaii.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Perhaps Mr Obama should arrange a trip to Pearl  Harbor to remind everybody of the dangers of strategic miscalculation in the  Pacific.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3221684858728352705-5388249026126366558?l=kaichenblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5388249026126366558/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3221684858728352705&amp;postID=5388249026126366558' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/5388249026126366558'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3221684858728352705/posts/default/5388249026126366558'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaichenblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/china-or-us-make-your-choice.html' title='China or the US?

After  they graduate, you will find most Chinese American students tend to have good,  steady jobs with good incomes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, very few Chinese Americans have  become prominent in community lives, in politics, in the military, in social  activities, in becoming corporate executives... Somehow they are not in the  American leadership echelon. I have heard some complaints from Chinese American  communities. Some blame it on racism and glass ceilings, some blame it on the  cultural barriers, some blame it on the language difference and their Chinese  accent... But very few Chinese American families see that the defective Chinese  family culture plays a big role in this phenomenon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most Chinese  families, especially those who have just moved from overseas to America, have  great work ethics and they taught their children to work hard as well. But they  fail to understand that a capitalist society not only rewards hard work, mostly  it rewards innovation and risk-taking. The free market rewards not only effort,  but mostly talent plus creativity. This is where the Chinese families come  short. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having good grades does not make good citizens. It is only one  element. Most Chinese families keep to themselves or just function in the  Chinese speaking circles, either due to language difficulties, or a reluctance  to merge into American mainstream culture. Many Chinese students have very  little social contact outside their own cultural circle; many have very little  extra-curriculum activities. Very few play sports which is a very big part in  American life. Very few assume school student leadership activities and roles.  Very few have things and interests that are special to themselves and to others.  They are single-dimension competitors. They only work hard to get good grades.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confidence is crucial in a person's social life and career. Yet many  Chinese students are socially illiterate and are basically social retards. They  simply don't know how to effectively communicate with others, others that are  not in their cultural circle. They assume somehow people are not connected on  individual basis but only on group and cultural basis. They simply fail to  understand what America is about. They simply fail to take advantage of the  enormously open social structure in America. They simply fail to express  themselves as unique individuals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My brother came many years ago. But he  and his wife have never paid attention to their only son when he attended high  school. They have never gone to a PTA meeting, never communicated with the  teachers and school authorities, never even bothered to enter American  mainstream culture. They have never travelled together as a family, never gone  to see a movie as a family, never had any habbies to immerse themselves in the  community... Of course they have every right not to know others, but just don't  blame others for not knowing and understanding them. Their son eventually got in  trouble with the law and involved in other unpleasant things, but ultimately  they fail to understand that in America, in a free society, you are your own  master. There is nobody else to blame. If one has shirked his own responsibility  as a parent, what does he expect from his child? The only thing I ever heard  from my brother and his wife is " making money" in America and life is so hard  and so on. His wife eventually returned to China and retired at age 50, full of  complaints about their American failure. She simply returned to the misery and  stagnation she had known so well and from which she had some certainty.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not just my brother and his family. I see many such examples in  Chinese American community. Yes indeed they have never had to speak a word of  English in China Town or San Gabriel Vallley where are mostly occupied by ethnic  Chinese. Yet, they have thoroughly failed to be active, conscientious  individuals responsible not only to their own family and themselves, but to God  and mankind. They have simply dropped out of American scene. So how can they  blame America for their stagnant social status and a joyless life, for they had  never bothered to know anybody else? I can't imagine that Condy Rice only worrys  about Black community and still makes the Secretary of the State of America. Can  you? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point is maybe there is something (or lack of something) in the  Chinese American community that is to be blamed for the failure. Maybe it is the  narrow-mindedness in the Chinese culture, or the defects in the Chinese language  itself, or something else we still need to find out. But just to blame America,  the most open, most free society in human history for not paying attention to  the Chinese is a joke. Attention and respect can only be earned, not asked or  demanded. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I welcome everyone's opinion on this subject.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kai, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you so much for a  wonderful article.

In China on the left, the individual name is pressed at  the bottom of the information columns, while in America, the individual name is  always on top of the others, be it a company, a city, a nation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some say  this is only a cultural habit. Who cares as long as the recipient receives the  mail? But one has to admit this simple illustration reflects the deep seated  philosophical contrast of two opposing values. Individuals at the bottom vs.  individuals on top, individuals oppressed, enslaved and burdened by all kinds of  collective, invisible, somehow seemed sacred entities vs. individuals as  primary, undeniable, indivisible, absolute unit of free existence above all what  his mind has created. This simple arrangement of priority is not a trivial  difference that most leftists tend to assert and dismiss as such. It is the  deepest contrast between two entirely opposing forces in interpreting how an  individual lived, has lived and should live in his or her social, cultural and  political environment. And the implications of the Chinese arrangement of  priorities often carry profound, deadly and devastating consequences. Human mind  is chained and shackled to a daily, moment to moment, unbearable state of  enclosure which separates the individual from the true state of living and the  true state of mind of his existence from himself, isolating himself from his own  nature. Not only he is never viewed as a free being, he is conditioned to submit  himself and accept that all mentioned entities from his own mind are above him,  are more valuable than him, and are the masters of him. He as a human being is  only the subject of these entities; he has no rights, no claims to his own  property and creation, nothing to call his own. He is a virtual nothingness.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This thinking pattern and mode of perception of reality is further  reinforced, solidified and legitimized by the very tools he uses to comprehend  and interpret his surroundings – his own written and speaking language. The  alienation is thus extreme. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the Chinese character “Ren” 人 as an  example. It is written and composed by one front slash and one back slash (人).  It was originated from the pictorial description by our ancestor – two legs as a  human figure. There is no head, there are no arms. There are only two legs. The  simplicity of this character cannot simply be viewed as a matter of utility. It  carries far-reaching implications affecting culture, philosophy, societal and  political institutions. We often sense and complain, even protest against the  cultural tendency that the Chinese lives are cheap. And in China humans are not  treated as humans. They are too often trampled only as animals that can speak.  They are only numbers that can be added or eliminated in a governmental scheme.  Mao openly and proudly claimed that he was willing to sacrifice 400 million  Chinese lives to fight against Russians and Americans. And somehow, no one in  China ever questioned the legitimacy of his claim on any moral basis. Somehow  people in China passively accept that the culture, the power of guns, the  prestige of his personality though a cult, gave him his legitimacy to do such a  thing. If deaths fell upon them through Mao-a living God backed by guns and  violence, then so be it. Everyone has to die someday, somehow, anyway.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The connotation of the Chinese character “Ren” (人) directly and  indirectly conveys that a human is only a physical existence, only flesh and  blood. It has only two legs with no mind and no meaning of its own. It is only  an image, only a shell, only a fleeting illusion without any substance and  significance. Most ancient Chinese literature clearly reflects this nihilistic  tendency. Only governments, the emperor, the officials with titles, the  invisible collective entities have mandate from heaven to be endowed with  meaning, and often carried with it, absolute, arbitrary and unquestioned power.  This phenomenon is much symbolized by the Chinese character “Guo” – Nation (for  much of the Chinese history meaning the domain of the Emperor). The character is  composed with an enclosed rectangle and in it there is the character meaning  “Jade” (simplified). Only “Guo”-the nation gives individual his meaning of  existence. All the Loyal officials and brave generals who died in ancient times  died for “Guo” and in defending “Guo”. Most literatures of the past are ones  singing in praise of them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even today, very seldom one sees a Chinese  person without an official title, or cultural titles. It is impolite to call  someone just by his or her name. A title must be added because with the title,  an artificial meaning is instilled into this individual life. Otherwise, he or  she is a none-existence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contrast to Chinese, English has many words  that related to the concept of human. I will list them and interpret them by  meaning below. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Human (s) – A term related to Humanoid, as a  differentiation from other life forms. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Person (s) – A term that  differentiates one from the collective, the masses. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Individual (s) – A  term that implicitly and explicitly conveys the meaning that such an entity is  indivisible and inseparable – a finite form that has its own beginning and end.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Human Being (s) – A term that carries the connotation of a state of  existence. “Being” itself means a state of awareness to one’s own life.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Man (Men) 人 – A term that has deep philosophical and even religious  meaning. (Ayn Rand used this term extensively in her works) It implies a  sacredness of a l
