At first i want to exhibit this process of events recently happened about cnn insulting

Chinese people.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry demanded Tuesday that cnn's Jack Cafferty apologize for remarks

he made last week, in which he called the Chinese "goons and thugs" and said products

manufactured in China are "junk." 

"Cafferty used the microphone in his hands to slander China and the Chinese people (and)

seriously violated professional ethics of journalism and human conscience," Foreign Ministry

spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Tuesday, according to China's state-run Xinhua news agency.

She said Cafferty's remarks "reflected his arrogance, ignorance and hostility towards the

Chinese people, ignited indignation of Chinese (at) home and abroad and will be condemned by

those who safeguard justice around the world."

cnn issued a statement Tuesday saying: "We are aware of concerns about Jack Cafferty's

comments related to China in the context of the upcoming Olympics, which were broadcast on

The Situation Room on April 9, 2008. 

"cnn would like to clarify that it was not Mr. Cafferty's, nor cnn's, intent to cause

offense to the Chinese people, and [cnn] would apologize to anyone who has interpreted the

comments in this way.

"cnn is a network that reports the news in an objective and balanced fashion. However, as

part of our coverage we also employ commentators who provide robust opinions that generate

debate.

"On this occasion Jack was offering his strongly held opinion of the Chinese government, not

the Chinese people --- a point he subsequently clarified on The Situation Room on April 14.

"It should be noted that over many years, Jack Cafferty has expressed critical comments on

many governments, including the U.S. government and its leaders." Cafferty, who appears

daily on cnn's "The Situation Room," made the remarks as host Wolf Blitzer was comparing

today's China to that of 20 or 30 years ago.

"I don't know if China is any different, but our relationship with China is certainly

different," Cafferty said. "We're in hock to the Chinese up to our eyeballs because of the

war in Iraq, for one thing. They're holding hundreds of billions of dollars worth of our

paper. We are also running hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of trade deficits with

them, as we continue to import their junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet

food and export, you know, jobs to places where you can pay workers a dollar a month to turn

out the stuff that we're buying from Wal-Mart.

"So I think our relationship with China has certainly changed," he said. "I think they're

basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years."

He issued a clarification of his remarks on Monday's "Situation Room," saying that by "goons

and thugs," he meant the Chinese government, not the Chinese people. It was unclear whether

China's Foreign Ministry was aware of the clarification when it held the Tuesday news

conference.

In the days following his remarks, however, the Legal Immigrant Association launched an

online petition condemning his statements as "racist" and "despicable" and demanding that

cnn discipline Cafferty and apologize to the Chinese people. Nearly 45,000 people had signed

it as of Tuesday afternoon.

In the petition, the association describes itself as "a leading organization of legal

immigrants mainly comprised of people from China." According to its Web site, the nonprofit

group is based in Santa Clara, California, and was founded in 2007 as an organization

"dedicated to the social well-being of employment-based immigrant professionals."

The state-run English-language newspaper China Daily also said in an editorial Tuesday that

an apology is called for, calling Cafferty "pathetic" and noting, "it is rare for the world

audience to hear such a blatant discrimination against an ethnic group of people with such a

derogatory connotation."

Others angered by Cafferty's remarks were urging a boycott of cnn's advertisers.

I'm so sad and angry after getting this detailed coverage, why? for wat? i know China is not

perfect and even ranks at a low ladder of this international soceity, but for a new

advancement country who has 1,300,000,000 people, who has her own ethnic, race, culture,

mores, all deserve others' culture and race to admire and comprehend.. however, wat we have

got?

I think this result not only due to the misunderstanding from these plethora of foreigners,

but also ralating to ourself, we are not cooperative!! even in this time appoximately 99% of

Chinese hiding himself in his zone, and for some guys just show some boycotting commends on

some China' website by Chinese, do this, how let the individuals who need to know us

actrually who should accept us practically to know??????????

I'm also sad about that after 3 times requiring apology from cnn demanding from China

foreign ministry, what we ve got feedback....

Ive read some composition about this appeal to cnn for apologizing and compensate for our

Chinese reputation, the Hai Ming(the lawyer who r accusing cnn in this case) said that we ve

already get some cheer at this first phase , however, if we want to enhance our reputation

and independent in this world just rely on this one lawsuit it is unrealistic.(i translate

it myself)

As far as i am concerned, Chinese are not collective and really isn't doer. even the

undergruduates' social angel is valueless... they r all intending to realize themselfves,

yet the capability are diclining dramatically, they know more and more famouse foreign brand

however they forgot their mores and ancestor even their race..

I hope in this particular periord, no mention more alliance, just few of us could to outlook

the nationality wat we r, that is enough, then we need to strive for this goal and realize

it.

Strengthen our mother country is not as easy as we just shake our lips, but we need to deal

with the concrete!!!!

The future not live in some bias reports from this unfamiliar us foreign media but lies in

our hand. in my personal perspective, it will never overestimate on constantly strive to

become stronger, the more we stronger, the higher the situation in this global flat we  r

standing will.

Really thx for reading still there, the analysis above all are my own standpoints, i wish

those could knock ur patriotic heart, and launching u to become an genuine doer, and i hope

this kind of u could make friends with me then we are running continiously and spontaneously

together
