]]> Comment on Southern China: The unemployed have not become violent. What else is new? by David http://www.sinofactory.net/blog/2009/04/southern-china-the-unemployed-have-not-become-violent-what-else-is-new/comment-page-1/#comment-25 David Thu, 23 Apr 2009 05:43:48 +0000 http://www.change-junkie.com/blog/?p=472#comment-25 I never blamed the media, except to say that many news outlets, including large mainstream outlets, got the story wrong. This happens to be the truth-- there was very little social disruption caused by unemployed workers in the Pearl River Delta, and the newspapers kept telling us otherwise. They didn't do their homework. If they had, they'd have known the truth, which was apparent to those of us living and working here. I had to search to find the reference to potty training. I think you have misread. I was NOT comparing my work in factories to potty training. I was referring to myself (or those like me) who in talking about their work are like grandparents talking about things which are boring for other people (like the intimate details of their grandkids' lives-- first steps, first words, potty training status, etc.). I think you need to reread. If it is not clear, I will re-write to leave NO DOUBT that I respect individuals, whether they be Chinese or otherwise. For reference, you can read other posts which state rather clearly that the Chinese are in equal to any other group of people in their ability to grasp new concepts, and to find and implement creative solutions. This blog labels as racists those who denigrate the Chinese and deny their ability.

You have now qualified to work for Xinhua, I think--a true friend of China. Your comparison of changing a factory to potty training shows just what you think of the Chinese people. Another China expert--live in China, add computer and blog, and presto, you get to tell people how "things are really done". Ah, yes, the blame the media strategy.

I'm from the USA and times look to be getting tougher. You would think by the stuff you see on the news that the whole world is ready for a financial collapse.
