Comment on How to handle pushy Chinese consular officials … by stuart

“Unfortunately, these days the average Chinese officials are not that smart.”

I’m sure they would have tried something more diplomatic first and that this was their final gambit.

The real pity is that they should be making any efforts at all in this direction. Nobody can take Tibet away from Chinese control so why not just concentrate on building goodwill and improving human rights?

Making a fuss out of nothing only further serves the agenda of the TGIE. Yes, this type of arrogant, stupid, shrewd, crude and useless diplomacy must go if China expects to get anything done. Unfortunately, these days the average Chinese officials are not that smart.

Western hypocrisy runs deep, it is something that many westerners fail to realize and I felt that it is important to point it out and leave it in the open. What, you have a problem with me doing that?
Not at all. I asked you a question, and you have answered it, Juchechosunmanse. My motivation to ask you was to understand yours.

“…the bottom line is that the article hurls many accusations on China without proof.”

Only if we radically alter the definition of arrogance.

OK. Now I can see where the misunderstanding arose.
When I said ‘ the author’, I meant Erich Follath, the author of the Speigel article which you have linked to. (I thought that you meant him too when you said ‘the author’ – that’s why I was surprised.) If I wanted to refer to you, I would simply have used the word ‘you’ or ‘yours’. Or, to identify yourself, you could have used the word ‘me’ or ‘mine’.

In any case, the bottom line is that the article hurls many accusations on China without proof.
