My sarcasm got the better of me after debating with two separate pro-China bloggers in the post directly below this one, thus you have this poster!
The WaPo has an interesting piece about the vilification of a freshman Chinese Duke student and how her parents had to go into hiding in her homeland of China after she didn’t side with Chinese protesters over pro-Tibetan protesters at Duke.
there’s a strong Chinese view nowadays that critical thinking and dissidence create problems, so everyone should just keep quiet and maintain harmony . . .
Photographs of me had been posted on the Internet with the words “Traitor to her country!” printed across my forehead. Then I saw something really alarming: Both my parents’ citizen ID numbers had been posted. I was shocked, because this information could only have come from the Chinese police.
I saw detailed directions to my parents’ home in China, accompanied by calls for people to go there and teach “this shameless dog” a lesson. It was then that I realized how serious this had become. My phone rang with callers making threats against my life. It was ironic: What I had tried so hard to prevent was precisely what had come to pass. And I was the target.
