China's Improved Living Standard Contributing to Global Economic Growth

Windinmyface2, I applaud for your questioning the main street message in this country w.r.t the Chinese people and government. I only wish there are more American people like you!

As a Chinese living here for the past 7 years, I was very pissed off by the biased, one sided Western media coverage on Tibet and Olympic recently. We, American and Chinese alike, all know the media in China are controlled and not completely trustworthy. The Western Media's reporting in the recent month on Tibet and Olympic proved that they are no much better. To find the truth and build an informed opinion, one really needs to think independently and look for facts presented by both sides. Watch these videos on Youtube and I think you will start to understand why 99.99% of 1.3B Chinese people, not only the government, are so pissed off by the recent events.

Your point about American politician and Media depicting Chinese as a people living in dire communist's rule without any freedom, aspiring for Western's help to gain their human rights and freedom is also right on. This popular thinking is really driven by the Western's sense of Western superioricy and condesension. These people know nothing about what majority of Chinese people feel and think, but claim they are doing something good for them? claim they are only against the China government but helping the Chinese people? When they hear different voice, they say, "oh, these people are brainwashed". In fact, mostly likely they are brainwashed by the mainstreet media, because Chinese people know the China media is not completely trustable therefore look for the other side's story, not so for these feel good western free Tibet prosters, most of who don't even know where Tibet is.
