Uighur Terrorists: Western World Shot Their Own Feet Again

The arrests on July 8th, 2010 of three men in Norway and Germany accused of orchestrating a terrorist bomb plot seemed like another routine raid by a Western government in the continuing campaign against groups linked to Al Qaeda. But one detail stuck out: Norwegian officials said one of the men was a Chinese Uighur, and all three supposedly belonged to Turkestan Islamic Party that advocates separatism in western China.

Terrorism experts say the plot in Norway indicates that Al Qaeda and the few members of the Turkestan Islamic Party, or TIP, who trained in the tribal areas of Pakistan see some mutual benefit in cooperating. The use of relatively obscure ethnic Uighur recruits could allow Al Qaeda to penetrate more deeply into the West. (Source)

Even US declared Turkestan Islamic Party as one terrorist group, but the organization is considered as a tool to damage China, its members and organizations are still under protection in US and European countries.

Taliban is an old story that tells how western countries lifted a stone that would hit their own feet, Turkestan Islamic Party is just another one, but I guess it would not be the last one.

CNN is getting punishment, will Google follow?

CNN used to be a No. 1 news provider in US since many viewers believed it was a neutral and reliable news resources. But this is gone. CNN now is a propganda machines whose reports cannot give its viewers a neutral picture about what is happening in and outside US. The best example is what it reported about the terrorist attack happened in China's Tibet on March 14, 2008. This can be found here.

Along with other western propaganda institutes, CNN's biased reports caused the angry among oversea Chinese who can access the news from both China and western world and are more familiar with China's affairs. Young Chinese students in western countries unprecedentedly walked to streets to protest the anti-China propagandas. Some Chinese even setup a website (http://www.anti-CNN.com). This website now has many readers.

CNN is now like a propaganda machines in old Soviet Union. The decrease of its market share is very predictable.

Google is now following CNN's steps. It has "sucessfully" changed its image from a tech company to a political propaganda machine. That's why it gets few supports from Chinese, even liberal Chinese, when it declared retreat from China market.

The world need neutral news media. Those media, like CNN and Google, will be punished by the market sooner or later.

Video: Innocent Chinese killed by Riots in Lhasa, Xizang (Tibet)

Warning: Bloody and violent.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=VF65NsxV_to

This is a recently released video. Those innocent people are Han, Muslims and Zang (Tibetan) people. They were killed by violent Dala Lama followers during the riots in March 2008, which Dala Lama and western media called "peaceful protest".

A Chinese Student lectures to French People During Demonstration, (in French)

I don't understand French language. But I saw Chinese translation of the lecture. He talked about the media bias against China and information manipulation by some politicians. I personally think it is a good one. I hope some French people can post their comments here. I prefer comments in English, but those in French are also welcomed.












The following is the Chinese version of his lecture.

  女士们,先生们,亲爱的中法朋友们,你们好!


  我想首先感谢巴黎人民和巴黎市警察局给了我们今天这次机会让我们聚集于此。这是罕见的一次,也是欧洲和法国历史上最大的华人集会。

  我想代表从别的城市,乘坐大巴、火车和汽车,从几百公里以外自费赶来的朋友们说几句话。很多朋友没有能与我们相聚于此,但是我想替他们表达他们与我们一样的对中国、对法国、对法国人民,以及对中法友谊的关注。

  在这次对中国的妖魔化的扭曲报道事件中,我们,全世界的中国留学生,我们感觉很痛,我们的感情受到了伤害,但是我们不怪法国人民,因为造成这样结果的责任人不是你们,而是一些不负责任的媒体和职业煽动家。

  像所有行业一样,记者和媒体有自己要遵守的职业道德。媒体要求公正,客观,对所报道内容的核实,以及评论的适中。无论如何,也不能诽谤和诬蔑,没有证据地责难,扭曲事实。

  在对最近发生的事情报道中,一些记者超出了他们原本的报道角色,完全变成了自认为拥有绝对真理的批判家,甚至把事件可笑地简单化。一个弱小而善良的受害者和一个巨大而残忍的暴徒。他们的角色从一开始就这样人为地被分配好了。

  然后,记者们找寻各种方式和手段来证明这两个角色。比如说,选择性的阐述历史,认为中国的革命对中国不可分割的一部分是“侵略”,而故意不说95%受煎熬的藏人的黑暗的政教合一,把尼泊尔的警察当成是中国警察,用几十年前的照片来说今天的事情,传播根本没有验证的信息,比如根本没有可信度的所谓死亡人数,以及选用一些别有用心的人的口述。

  那些外国游客的描述,和他们拍到的视频让我们看到暴徒对无故路人进行令人发指的暴力,没有一个媒体说这是对无辜者的施暴。更有甚者,一些不负责任的媒体制造并强迫人们接受一个根本没有任何可信和公正证据的“血腥镇压”的假设。

  媒体很少邀请中国人在节目中阐述他们的观点,即使有也是把他放在被告的位置上,而另一方的则是在数量上几倍于他的“法官”。是,你可以批评中国政府在一段时间里不允许记者入藏,但是不能捏造不知道的事情。

  这种处理西藏暴乱信息的方式,是一种媒体暴力,一种意识形态的欺骗行为,一种话语权的霸权,一种扭曲事实的宣传,一种无耻的欺骗。

  首先受害者是法国人民,他们是多么的具有怜悯心和博爱,他们相信媒体,可不幸的是,他们被操纵和欺骗了。

  西方的信息模式本来还是人们的一种效仿模式,它现在不再是了。没有人有权力操纵大众舆论,不能在中国,也不能在世界上任何地方。这是在所谓言论自由模式中的另一种压制言论自由的方式。

  还有一些作为法国精英的政客的思维惰性,让我们无比震惊。

  所谓人权,对某些人来说是圣战的号角,和一切有政治目的不负责任的煽动的盾牌,比如说对于罗伯特·梅纳尔(“无疆界记者”组织主席)。为什么此人在官塔那摩监狱里的酷刑不断重复,在伊拉克人被美军士兵侮辱的时候消失了? 这是不是一种选择性的失明呢?

  联合国教科文组织终止了对“无疆界记者”的支持,在一份公告中,联合国教科文组织解释说,无疆界记者多次在无客观所言地报道某些国家的过程中丧失了记者职业道德。

  为什么呢?

  从互联网上,同时也是我们的罗伯特先生承认的信息中,我们了解到“无疆界记者”的财政支持是源于一些与美国中央情报关系密切的组织。

  我们,海外的中国学生,我们很心痛,我们的感情受到了伤害,但是我们并不怨恨法国人。

  我们是两个截然不同的世界之间经验与信息交换的桥梁,我们也是这场文化、思想,尤其是政治冲突最先的受害者。

  在国内的中国人非常相信我们这些留学生对国外的见解。他们对于国外的认识和印象取决于这个留学生群体的感觉。

  面对捏造或者说传递虚假消息的西方媒体的指责,我们这些学生中的很多人开始反击,在互联网上辩论并呼唤报道的真实性。我们都注意到,被某些媒体 “喂饱了” 的有些法国人对于中国有着很深的偏见。

  在抵制奥运,抵制中国,所谓自由西藏的叫喊声中,中国人民对西方世界的审视和不信任正在增长。中国政府的努力还远没有达到尽善尽美的地步,说它是世界上最完善的和说它是世界上最差的同样可笑。但我们这一代,我们这些20岁到30岁的年轻人,从我们年幼时起,我们就一直生活在中国生活水平不断提高及自由度不断开放的环境中。

  我们很惊讶,在这一切都向好的方面发展的时刻,在这个我们生活比以前更好的时候,国外才有越来越多的人想把我们从所谓的“世界上最大的独裁”中“拯救”出来!我想问,你们以前在哪儿?我们这些在西方求学的中国人,我们对未来充满了自信。的确,中国还有很多事情要做,而我们,我们中国人,更是对这些进步的实现有着前所未有的信心。

  中国有另一种文化,另一种历史,另一个体积。社会学不是一种像数学精确的科学。在这方面,要成为一种 “普遍的典范” 有太多的变数。

  来中国吧!来看看一个真实的,完整的中国,一个很多西方媒体不会展现给你们的中国,来西藏吧!用你们的眼睛来见证那个所谓的“文化灭绝”,是否这种灭绝真的存在,是否藏语正在“消失”,那些喇嘛们是不是可以自由的信仰他们的宗教,西藏人是不是比在达赖的神权统治下过得更好!和那些上了年纪的西藏人聊聊,谈谈他们永远无法忘记的“佛教天堂”。我们需要直接的交流,更多的知识交换,我们会继续对此作出贡献!

  我们中国留学生支持奥运,支持奥运在中国举行,这个占人类五分之一人口的国家有资格承办奥运会。

  奥运是属于谁的?奥运是属于您的,属于我的,属于我们的,属于我们大家,属于全世界的人民。这不是一场政治游戏。亲爱的政客们,反对中国的那些政治势力的走卒们,请停止你们对于奥运的污染。

  中国作为东道主国家,想为全世界人民送上一份最好的礼物。成千上万的中国人呕心沥血多年,就是为了这一天。他们正敞开怀抱欢迎世界各国的人们。

  当奥运圣火在世界各地传递的时候,所传达的是同一条信息,那就是欢迎你们的到来,中国人民期待和你们一起庆祝这个充满人性关爱的盛会。

  当有些媒体提到,这次圣火传递失败是给中国的一记耳光。当代表着爱与和平的圣火,受到一些专门抗议者的侮辱行径时,我认为这确实是一记耳光,但不是给中国的,而是给中国人民的,给法国人民的,给全世界所有热爱奥运的人民的。

  很多法国人似乎对中国有一种恐惧,这种恐惧来自于对中国的无知。这也是为什么我们希望你们可以直接和我们沟通,通过我们,热爱并希望巩固中法友谊的桥梁,来进一步了解中国。

  中国和她的文化注定了我们爱好和平的本质。自秦朝统一六国后,中国从此结束了原来分裂的状态,成为一个完整独立的国家。我们便属于一个大家庭。

  我认为这是一个具有5000年历史的文化的高度。这会令人担忧?但是文化是鲜活的具有生命力的。当你们在中国饭店使用筷子的时候,中国文化正向你们充分地展开它的怀抱。

  妖魔化中国只会让中国人愈发远离西方世界,只会加剧人民间的距离。

  请让我们好好沟通!

  我们想给你们其他一个信息。我们中国留学生,非常诚恳地希望中法人民之间不要有敌对情绪,因为不管怎样这都是不理性的,也是没用的。了解两种不同文化的我们,希望成为这两国人民的一座桥梁,一个信息沟通点。我们向你们诉说的是中国人民的真实想法和感受,我们同时也会传达法国人民对中国善意的关注。请相信我,这座桥,将会前所未有的坚固,特别是在这种极度令人遗憾的现状下。

  我亲爱的法国朋友们,我们热烈欢迎你们所有人的到来,甚至那些想“在北京制造混乱”(一个欧洲议会议员的言论)的人。我们将会帮助他们找到一个好的保险公司,为他们提供一种包括所有民事责任的保险。

  让我们北京见吧,亲爱的朋友们!

  谢谢,非常感谢!

New Chinese Pop Song: Don't be too CNN

Chinese to boycott products of CNN's advertisers

Chinese to boycott products of CNN's advertisers

Waking up in the morning, CNN's advertisers might feel inscrutable that their products have already been on Chinese people's boycott lists.

Stunned and shocked by a racist and hatred remark on the Chinese people by CNN's commentator Jack Cafferty in "the Situation Room" aired on April 9th, the Chinese are fighting back by boycotting products of CNN's advertisers—those who are airing advertisements during Cafferty's show time.

Cafferty charged the Chinese people with a highly despicable assault by saying, "They (Chinese) are basically the same bunch goons and thugs they have been in the past fifty years." (http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0804/09/sitroom.03.html)

The new campaign against CNN is just an escalated version of the "tit for tat" campaign in response to Cafferty's previous insult and CNN's recent coverage on the Olympic relay in Paris, London and San Francisco, which is overwhelmingly condemned by the Chinese community as ungrounded and defamatory.

The appeal, circulated on the internet and bulletin boards, indicates that a strong patriotic reaction among the Chinese people has been ignited. This time around, CNN is the target.

The more advertising bucks are poured here on CNN, the worse marketing will be expected there in China: The counter productive results the advertisers are afraid of. In recent years, most of the Fortune 500 companies have made targeted advertisement campaigns in China, a country with more than 1.3 billion potential customers.

The boycott statement urged CNN’s advertisers to understand Chinese people’s feelings against Cafferty’s comments while it did mention that the campaign doesn’t target any companies who are sponsoring other CNN programs, “at this point we Chinese consider it (Cafferty’s comments) unacceptable for advertisers to air their ads on Cafferty's show time”.

Till now, no apology has been heard from Mr. Jack Cafferty. CNN has neither made any clear
statements nor taken any actions since. Many have wondered how the media will handle the new controversy exactly a year after Don Imus was fired due to his racist comments on the Rutgers female basketball team.

Earlier this week, Coca Cola withdrew one of its advertisements in Germany that stirred the ire of many Chinese people who criticized the intention of pro-Tibet-Independence and urged the public to boycott the brand.

The poster - spotted in a German railway station - shows Buddhist monks on a rollercoaster with the slogan: "Make it real".

A spokesperson from Coca Cola stated on April 9th, " This was certainly not our intention ... The old image was being used in the window of a shop in Bremen and has since been taken down ..."

Who Lie about Xizang (Tibet) Violence and How!

Xizang terrorists raided Lasha (Lhasa), they killed more than 10 innocent people and destroyed others' properties. But western media called such a terror a "peaceful" protest. Ridiculous, isn't it?

Many western madia simply say: People died in the protest. This implicitly tells their audience or readers that Chinese government killed protests. Do they dare mention who died? who attacked whom? and who killed whom? Amazing, isn't it?

Other than that, they distorted the facts by using pictures from violence in other countries and commented as what happened in China.

The terror event caused a lot life and property lose for China. But China gained alot.

First of all, Chinese are united now. That's the biggest gain we had in this individualism era. China are still China, we are united before any crisis and enemies. You can see Chinese comments anywhere. Most of them are supporting government. Some are even organizing protesting in Canada and maybe some European countries. This is a very impressive progress.

Secondly, western media's real face is exposed to Chinese and other readers. This is very important for China. Most of us now know western media are simply liar about China. There is no such a media freedom at all. They torture the truth and mislead readers. On the contrary, Chinese media are more reliable knowledge resources. Naive Chinese will not dance with the western propaganda machines any more. Recalling 1989 event when I was a college participant in so-called student movement, Chinese students trusted only western lies. But now, things changed. Chinese students have a clear picture of western propaganda machinese and will think independently. China will be more united and advance without disturbing from outside.

I do have complains to our government. It shows too much mercies to the terrorists. Criminals must be punished on the scene no matter who they are, which religion they believe. People's lives are equal, people's properties are precious. Murders must be killed. That's the eternal law that our Chinese have abided for 5000 years.

Now, I can show who lie about Xizang (Tibet) violence and how they did. Enjoy the eye-opening pictures for you. You are welcome to copy this images and paste to anywhere.

You can click the image to get big ones.


Germany N-TV channel: The right side are real Chinese policemen. The left side actually happened in Nepal.



USA Washington Post: It used the Nepal police to show what happened in China.



Germany Bild-Zeitung: It used picture from Nepal again. But it says it happened in China.



Another lie from Germany Bild-Zeitung: It used picture from Nepal again. But it says it happened in China.




Ok, this is about notorious USA CNN, a famous liar with most advanced techonology in this world. Apparently it is more cunning than others. The left side picture was used by CNN. It is a real picture from Lasha, BUT, it was deliberately cut off from a larger one (Shown on the right side). The part CNN used dropped a hint to its readers that a "peaceful protest" was crushed by Chinese police. Actually, the original picture shows that rioters were attacking police. Interesting, isn't it? Those stupid Germany media and Washington Post should learn some from CNN. CNN is the No. 1experienced liar the leading propagator on this planet. CNN stands for "Cheating News Network".



This is the lie from Germany RTL TV channel. It used the picture from Nepal again. But it says that's from China.



Here is the video from Germany Spiegel. The video actually was taken from Nepal again. That's brave nepal police were taking appropriate and necessary action aginst those terrorists. But Spiegel says that's China.



This is the lie from BBC. Where is the heavey military presence? Ambulance is the heavey military or the med? A classical shitting from BBC that is owned by UK government.


This is Berliner Morgenpost, Germany again. That's a Chinese who was rescued by police. But the German liar say that's a protester who was arrested by police. Big ass!



From Gwermany N-TV channel. Use the video from Nepal, but the TV lied to its audiences, said it happened in China.



From Germany N24 TV channel. Same as above.



Oh, yeah, That's Fox news in US. Apparantly that happened in India. Brave Indian police was crushing terrorists. Fox is really a cunning animal.






These are screenshots of Youtube. A self-claimed free-sharing and free media. But many Chinese are complaining the deleting of their uploaded videos that tells the truth in Xizang. Youtube also manipulates counters of the videos posted by Chinese so that these videos would not be listed among the most viewed ones. Here is the screenshot. You can find the number of comments is even greater than than the number of the views. After a while, the number of comments increased by almost 1000, while the number did not change. Funny, right?

There are some other reports from Germany. But I don't have picture so far. Hope some one can provide. Thanks in advance.
1. Germany SAT1 TV channel: The picture showed that Chinese police escorted three Japanese visitors to get out of rioters. The picture came from China's CCTV. But SAT1 explained it as arrested rioters.
2. Germany ARD TV channel. It saied more than 100 protesters were killed, and then mentioned that Chinese government's number was 13 people. They simply don't say those 13 were killed by rioters.

So many lies from Germany. That maybe not strange for this world if you know the history of WWII. Mr. Adolf Hitler and Mr. Paul Joseph Goebbels were leaders elected by Germans. But that's the past glory of Germany liars. Now, it seems German should learn from US in propagating. The student scores much higher than its teacher now. German obviously leads in lie by numbers, but CNN alone beats them all in quality and innovation. Hurry up, Germany!

Catholicals Lie, Fools Believe!

This report from guardian. It pefectly illustrated a chain of liars in western propogand machines and how the fools were cheated when they talk about China. Enjoy!

Beijing denied a story about an Olympic Bible ban spread by the rightwing media but it was actually a Catholic news service that shut it down

China said atheletes are free to bring Bibles for personal use. Photograph: Chris Gardner/AP

The story had everything going for it. It was outrageous. It was emotionally laden. It involved suppression of religion by godless communists. The flurry of attention in the comments section of rightwing political and religious websites was instantaneous. The problem was that it wasn't true.

A recent editorial in the conservative New York Sun kicked off the fuss by citing a report from the Catholic News Service asserting that the Chinese government would bar athletes from bringing Bibles to the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games. Pajamas Media, home of many a rightwing blog, followed up with a report, also citing CNS, and adding the strange cavil "if true".

Actually, the report, citing an Italian sports newspaper as a source, seems to have come from the Catholic News Agency, a totally different operation with a traditional religious outlook, one that features the text of the Pope's Sunday Angelus prayer and a "saint of the day." It was never carried by the Catholic News Service.
Then the Catholic News Service did something remarkable, using its nearly-new website, CNS News Hub. It strongly and convincingly denied ever running such a story and gave the dubious credit to CNA and the Italian paper, then went on to say in detail that there was no substance to the story about a Bible ban.

"We know that with the speed of the Internet and blogs that there was a need to do something like this," said Jim Lackey, the managing editor of CNS. "It's not our feelings about a story. We are just correcting the record."

He added: "When we started getting phone calls from Congressmen and from the state department asking 'what more can you tell me about your story?,' we decided to post the facts as we know them."

The facts, by the way, are that Bibles circulate freely in China, despite the Chinese government's bad record on religion and human rights. An official Chinese government statement said that it would prefer that athletes bring Bibles for personal use only, but stopped well short of a ban.

In fact, Olympic organisers in China said there would be no restrictions on Bibles in the Olympic village. Later, the reporter for the Italian newspaper unconvincingly defended his story by asserting that a ban on "pamphlets and materials used for any religious or political activity or display" meant Bibles, even after the Chinese issued a clarification changing the banned category to "promotional materials".

CNS did not end the flap. Internet controversies seem never to end, especially those that can be kept alive by people whose beliefs run deep. But CNS may have hit on something by clearly disclaiming a story via the web rather than distributing a counterbalancing story later that may never catch up with the original error.

Many Americans, for instance, still believe that Saddam Hussein was responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Centre, despite six years of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, or that he had weapons of mass destruction, despite none having been found over those same six years.

"Were they simply wrong or did they knowingly build a case?," asks Brian Toolan, national editor of the Associated Press, of the Bush administration. "I don't know the answer".

The AP, being a cooperative of its member news outlets, has no website of its own, so it could not completely duplicate the CNS technique. Its practice has always been to quickly correct errors or misstatements on its wire.

But in the era of deliberate misrepresentation, that might not provide the clarification that it is intended to provide. Rudy Giuliani, the candidate for the Republican nomination, has let go with a couple of whoppers in the last couple of weeks, first claiming incorrectly that the British National Health Service has a markedly worse record for prostate cancer survival than is actually the case. Then, providing heavily cooked statistics, he claimed the disgraced Bernard Kerik, his former police commissioner, had been responsible for as much as eliminating crime in New York City.

In traditional, big market journalism, the choices are limited. If a source misrepresents or lies, Toolan said, "You are compelled to go back and correct." For serial offenders, you have to hope that reporters "instinctively and instantly go back and check everything".

Maybe the relatively tiny Catholic wire service has the beginning of an interesting idea. What would be the problem with media outlets, from newspapers to websites to television news, maintaining a website that focuses on mistakes - especially the flat out lies that they have carried?

Who Should Be Responsible for Toy Recalls

Forbes just published a commentary by Alan G. Hassenfeld, chairman and CEO of Hasbro. His words may reflect some facts:
--Misconception: China is one of the main culprits in all these recalls; it is their fault that our children are in danger.
--Fact: That is simply not true. Companies manufacture, import and sell products; countries do not. The Consumer Product Safety Commission rightly holds those who order the toys and bring them into the country responsible for the safety of those toys. Equally important is the fact that about 74% of the toys recalled were for design-related issues, not manufacturing-related ones. The designs are the primary responsibility of those who order the toys, not only of those who manufacture them. Let us take responsibility for our actions and not blame others.

--Misconception: China is responsible for the loss of American jobs in the toy industry.
--Fact: Again, not true; China is simply the latest country where production has concentrated so that its cheaper labor costs can translate into lower prices to consumers. Toy production started moving out of the United States over 50 years ago, going first to Japan, then to Taiwan and Korea and other Asian countries. It was in the mid-1980s that China began its export of toys.



Another study written by Professor Paul W. Beamish of the University of Western Ontario, Hari Bapuji and Andre Laplume, both of the University of Manitoba, also proved that China-made toys are at least as safe as any other countries, or even better. The toys made in other countries are even more likely caused by the manufacturing process, unlike in China, more likely caused by design faults.

In 2004, four firms recalled 150 million pieces of toy jewelery made in India because they contained excessive amounts of lead. In 2002, approximately 75,000 South Korean-made pedal-cars, retailing at between 100 to 300 US dollars, were recalled because of their high lead content, says the study.

Microsoft Website Blocked by Chinese Government

Some people on a forum recommended http://www.greatfirewallofchina.org to check if a web is blocked by Chinese government.

I checked http://www.microsoft.com, the official website for the largest software company on this planet, and interestly found that it was blocked.

The more I tested and more interesting things I found.

I then tested http://www.xinhuanet.com/ and http://www.gov.cn/ the web portals for Chinese Xinhua News Press and Chinese government (Both have English version. Go to click the English). Both were blocked too.


It is very funny that many non-brain westerners belive in that website (go to check the discussion section of that website).

US-design Runs into Trouble Again

Right after Mattel's late apology to China for its own design flaws that caused 85% of its toys recalls, another US company, Simplicity, is recalling one million infant cribs after 3 deaths caused by its design flaws.

This time many western medias became smarter a little bit. They did not put "made in China" phrase in their news titles, but some indecent, misleading medias such as ABC Action News in Florida, WNBC in New York, RTT news in New York, Medical News in UK, The Gate - National Journal in Washington DCConde Nast Portfolio in New York, Kansas City Star in Missouri, Forbes, Reuters, CBC News, CNN, ... are still associating "China-made" with the recalls and ignoring the root of the cause: US-design.

China is a scapegoat of US-design again!!

US Media Still Trying to Save Their Own Face After Mattel's Apology to China

Just in my previous post, Mattel openly aplogied to China for the damage caused by its own mistakes. It openly acknowledged that most of recent toy recalls were caused by its own design flaws. This late confession vastly differentiates with US media's unanimous blame on China companies' production quality and misleading their own readers.

Even before this simple and straight facts, US media are still trying to misleading their readers. For example, Newsweek just published Daniel Gross's artile on its web. They still stubbornly think Mattel's apologied because it must save face with China for business purpose. They don't blame themselves and Mattel for their own corrupt moral standard.

Newsweek and its writer Daniel Gross will never know how open this world is. US media cannot hide the truth and misleading readers now. Mattel is a dead company because its product quality and more important its moral standard. Newsweek is not very far.

Anyhow, they have to acknowledge that America can’t afford to offend or alienate China—not because it would suddenly stop selling goods to us, but because the U.S. economy has evolved in such a way that its health depends on China.

Congratuations, you can make some progress. Keep going! Thanks Newsweek to show their true face before the world and before the truth. This could be a very classic case in Journalists' class in colleges.

Late apology from Mattel to Chinese for the Toy Recalls

Mattel who recalled a lot of toys in US market acknowledges the major causes of the recalls are the company's design faults. Chinese companies only contributed a very small portion of the recalled. He company said it recalled more products than justified.

The company apologies for the damage on the reputation of Chinese manufacturers. The apology is too late as I have several posts on the issue and pointed Mattel's prolem long time ago. But better late than never.

The source of the following report come from here.


BEIJING - U.S.-based toy giant Mattel Inc. issued an extraordinary apology to China on Friday over the recall of Chinese-made toys, taking the blame for design flaws and saying it had recalled more lead-tainted toys than justified.

The gesture by Thomas A. Debrowski, Mattel’s executive vice president for worldwide operations, came in a meeting with Chinese product safety chief Li Changjiang, at which Li upbraided the company for maintaining weak safety controls.

“Our reputation has been damaged lately by these recalls,” Debrowski told Li in a meeting at Li’s office at which reporters were allowed to be present.

“And Mattel takes full responsibility for these recalls and apologizes personally to you, the Chinese people, and all of our customers who received the toys,” Debrowski said.

Mattel ordered three high-profile recalls this summer involving more than 21 million Chinese-made toys, including Barbie doll accessories and toy cars because of concerns about lead paint and tiny magnets that could be swallowed.

The recalls have prompted complaints from China that manufacturers were being blamed for design faults introduced by Mattel.


On Friday, Debrowski acknowledged that “vast majority of those products that were recalled were the result of a design flaw in Mattel’s design, not through a manufacturing flaw in China’s manufacturers.”

Lead-tainted toys accounted for only a small percentage of all toys recalled, he said, adding that: “We understand and appreciate deeply the issues that this has caused for the reputation of Chinese manufacturers.”

In a statement issued by the company, Mattel said its lead-related recalls were “overly inclusive, including toys that may not have had lead in paint in excess of the U.S. standards.

“The follow-up inspections also confirmed that part of the recalled toys complied with the U.S. standards,” the statement said.

Li reminded Debrowski that “a large part of your annual profit ... comes from your factories in China.

“This shows that our cooperation is in the interests of Mattel, and both parties should value our cooperation. I really hope that Mattel can learn lessons and gain experience from these incidents,” Li said, adding that Mattel should “improve their control measures.”

Since this summer’s recall, Mattel has announced plans to upgrade its safety system by certifying suppliers and increasing the frequency of random, unannounced inspections. It has fired several manufacturers.

Tests had found that lead levels in paint in recalled toys were as high as 110,000 parts per million, or nearly 200 times higher than the accepted safety ceiling of 600 parts per million.

Mattel’s shares fell from the mid-$23 level following the first recall in early August, reaching as low as $20.97 on Sept. 10. They have since rebounded to the mid-$23 level again.

China has become a center for the world’s toy-making industry, exporting $7.5 billion worth of toys last year.

When Americans are High about Darfur, How About the Real Genocide In Iraq?

According to a new study, 1.2 million Iraqis have met violent deaths since the 2003 invasion, the highest estimate of war-related fatalities yet. The study was done by the British polling firm ORB, which conducted face-to-face interviews with a sample of over 1,700 Iraqi adults in 15 of Iraq's 18 provinces. Two provinces -- al-Anbar and Karbala -- were too dangerous to canvas, and officials in a third, Irbil, didn't give the researchers a permit to do their work. The study's margin of error was plus-minus 2.4 percent.

Field workers asked residents how many members of their own household had been killed since the invasion. More than one in five respondents said that at least one person in their home had been murdered since March of 2003. One in three Iraqis also said that at least some neighbors "actually living on [their] street" had fled the carnage, with around half of those having left the country.

In Baghdad, almost half of those interviewed reported at least one violent death in their household.

Some Data about Toy Recalls In US

China’s General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine defended the country’s manufacturers, saying Mattel should face up to its responsibility for the recall of millions of Chinese-made toys, as 85 percent of the recalled toys had problematic designs (Using magnets in its toys.).

Among the recalled 20.2 million toys, 85% were caused by faulty designs that were either provided by Mattel or met Mattel's design standards. That means Mattel should be the only responsibilty holder for this part of the recalls. China companies should be responsible for the other 15% of the toy recalls.

According to the data, in 2006 alone, Chine exported 22 billion toys.

According to the above data, Mattel alone caused much more recalls that all Chinese companies. Who should be blamed?

More important is that the mattel design flaws should be mattel's own problems, but this were ignored by "free" western medias.

The toy recall saga clearly shows westerns political panics because of the China's rising. This is just one of the challenges for China. In other words, political panics caused by China's rising lead to the panics on China products. But the real responsibility holder: American companies, were ignored.

US Media Ignored New report on Chinese Tires

FTS who impoted tires from China filed a supplenmtal report on 07/03/2007 to NHTSA.
The report is on the top place of first page on NHTSA website.

Two important points are new to many westerners because their free media intentionally ignored:
1. The tires addressed by the report meet or exceed FMVSS 119.
2. The van involved in the accident in Philadelphia, Pa had wrong tires. It had three China-made tires sized 245/75R16 and one Michelin tire sized 225175R16. A review of the tire guide indicates that the Michelin tire was the correct size for that vehicle while the China-made tires were not.
