Recently the surprised bias against China the Western media hold greatly impressed me. One of their focuses is the so-called Tibet issue which they distorted in the partial perspective. Another is the preferred reports of deliberate disruption of the 2008 Olympic torch relay.

Without intent to comment on something about Tibet and Games, I find the top contributing factor in the Western evil attitudes towards China is arrogance. They are self-centered and believe them superior to the rest of the world in morals, values, beliefs and so on, only based on they are economically developed.

Rooted in the above arrogance, they are naturally educated to develop a kind of prejudice against some problems, especially against those developing nations. Those who are not in accord with their morals, values and beliefs are severely denounced.

When it comes to freedom, democracy and human rights, universally acknowledged originated from the Western, the majority of the nations believe they are what nations pursue. But it does not mean that every nation consents to accept all from the Western. That is to say, every nation would selectively learn the Western values, political systems and measures which are proved to be practical and suitable to their nations. It is up to them, not to the Western.

Frankly speak, some Western people always observe China through tainted glasses, and they are unwilling and uncomfortable to see the China’s rapid development. What they do is only to create hurdles for China’s development.

It is very disappointed and regrettable that nearly all of the Western leading media remain blind to what truly happened in Tibet, leaving the riots run rampant, in total disregard for the indispensably objective stance the independent news media should took, of which the Western people commonly take pride.

The Western media collectively also take the chance of the Olympic Games to be launched in August in China, with spare no efforts to darken China. The Games is a shared event for peace-loving people worldwide. So the deliberately violent disruption of the Olympic torch relay should be despicable, which tarnished the lofty Olympic spirit and defied people who love the games around the global.

The Chinese, who by instincts attack the wrongdoings by the Western media through the way of setting up the websites like www.nationonline.com , www.anti-cnn.com , www.ourvoice.de and www.shameonparis.com to express their anger, are condemned by the Western people as the radical nationalists, and their activities as under the support of the China’s government.

The Western media with bias knows little about China’s society. In fact, they show little interest in concerning about china, with exception of the negative happenings in China. On the contrary, the Chinese’s knowledge of the Western is far more than imagined.

In fact the Western even the whole world can enjoy the great benefits from the rising richer China, not the economically poorer and politically split China.

What I said above is not aimed to argue in favor of what China do, but to express my views of the unjust treatments exerted by the Western upon China. There is no doubt that many fields of the current China leave something to be desired. But China is making great endeavors to tackle them step by step.

The mutual understandings between the Western and China is of vital interests to both two sides and to the whole world. However it is two sides not one that take the great and arduous responsibilities for fostering and deepening the dialogues. Its reason lies in one coin has two sides.
