Are Western journalists, who have been reporting attempts by people in China to demonstrate against their government, aspiring for China’s “collapse”? This editorial from China’s state-run Global Times tells its readers hopefully, ‘Chinese society has no interest in resolving problems through revolution.’
The editorial from the Global Times says in part:
“A few Western media outlets are looking for clues of a Chinese-style Jasmine Revolution. Inevitably, with its colossal population, China has a few dissidents who have become energized by the public revolts in the Middle East, and who are calling for protests or even a revolution. Especially in larger cities, such people do exist.
“A number of Western journalists recently gathered at an appointed place to watch several Chinese offer a performance art version of the “Jasmine Revolution.” The crowd of journalists and bystanders far outnumbered the “performers.” However, some overseas media reported the event as though it were a massive popular movement, and could hardly disguise their anticipation for turmoil in China.
“Their reports were essentially theatrical photography rather than investigative journalism. Strictly speaking, such careless sensationalism is more a forgery of news than journalism. … History’s dustbin is littered with those who aspire for China’s collapse.”
