Most Americans, Even Nancy Pelosi, Are Not Necessarily ‘Anti-China’: Global Geographic Times, China
Jun 30th, 2009 | one response
Has the Chinese government, to its own detriment, carelessly labeled people, particularly Americans and specifically House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, ‘anti-China’? That is the somewhat starling conclusion of this article published in China’s state-controlled Global Geographic Times. First published in Singapore’s United Morning News, Xue Haipei writes in part:
“The tendency to overuse the idea of ‘anti-China influences’ continues to push people who aren’t necessarily anti-China to genuinely adopt that sentiment, while at the same time misleading those who have an accurate understanding of Chinese foreign relations.”

People’s Republic of China – Global Geographic Times – Original Article (Chinese)
The China News Service [Xinhua] reprinted a signed article from Singapore’s United Morning News on June 12, about how to regard concepts that are “anti-China” or “unfriendly toward China” as they occur in the West, particularly in the United States.
A summary of the article follows:
A so-called “anti-Chinese” leader of the U.S. Congress, Nancy Pelosi, recently visited China in her capacity as House Speaker. This was a very important event in Sino-U.S. relations.
From her delegation’s visit to China in terms of composition (the rational selection of those accompanying her) the issues to be addressed (questions mainly about energy and climate change) and her low-key attitude toward the media (she refused all requests for interviews), one could sense that she was deliberately seeking to create a good atmosphere and striving to engage in a positive exchange with the Chinese side. Her words and actions in China very seldom brought up questions that would have made her hosts unhappy.

Boy these Chinese are catching on quick. But still, I don't think anybody ought to label Speaker Pelosi anything she don't want to be labeled. Odds are she'll gut them and leave them bleeding in the street.
