I’ve got plenty to do in my own country, which, in case you have not noticed is sliding down the hopper.

Also, I don’t plan to ever take another plane trip anywhere (until they stop treating passengers like cattle) and the last time I checked, it is not possible to drive to China.

Glad you are enjoying yourself, hope circumstances allow you to stay.

Cut C. a little slack?  He just misspoke? I don’t think so.  He gets paid megabucks, let him take responsibility for being rude and crude.

It’s no secret that the same nitwit neocons who gave us the war in Iraq want war in China as well.

I earn about 3800 kuai a month.  That’s about $542 but goes farther.  I get an apartment and utilities from the college as well.  I have time to study and write, too.  Daily life here can be very pleasant.  My students and colleagues are sweet and loveable. It’s quite a contrast with my life as a degraded minimum wage slave in the US. 

Again, why not visit?  Why be ignorant when you can be experienced?  You don’t need to kiss anyone you don’t want to!

Re: Ass kissing liberal slime.:

“I’ve been thinking about your remarks, CY, and I think the problem between us is that I am NOT kissing ass—yours in particular.”

Since you claim to reside in China, please do not kiss any part of me.. Your saliva is probably disease-laden or poison. 

Making a bunch of money over there?

I’ve been thinking about your remarks, CY, and I think the problem between us is that I am NOT kissing ass—yours in particular.  And yes, it’s because I am a liberal, in the sense that I don’t want to be a slave, don’t want to own a slave.

As for low-quality goods from China, yes, quality control is a big problem here, as in the USA in 1908 and Japan in 1958.  Why don’t you bring your quality control expertise here, teach it to the engineers and manufacturers?  That’s what Denning did in Japan.

See you!

I’m so liberal that I was on active duty on Yankee Station while Pres. Bush was AWOL in Alabama.  I’ve always done my duty to my country.  Want to call me more names?  Come visit me in Kunming.  I’ll meet you at the airport.

“If he’d meant the government,he’d’ve said “the Chinese government”.  Instead, he whined about debts (surely the fault of the US!) and bad quality control at a privately-owned factory.  Yes, XYZ factory should have better quality control, but it wasn’t a government factory.  By the way, the owner not only apologized, but closed the factory and killed himself to prove the sincerity of his apology.  Will Cafferty do something to prove his sincerity?  Probably not.”

I’m no friend of Cafferty or his network, HOWEVER the drivel from apologists for China’s shoddy irresponsible behavior is sickening.

Mr Ness, it was not one factory. China has exported unsafe and toxic toys, poison toothpaste. unsafe tires, sub-standard steel, lead-laden clothing, lead painted baby furniture and diseased fish, poultry, and meat.

The chinese government (under our trade agreement with them) is responsible for the quality of goods being exported from that country.

In my opinion, Cafferty didn’t go far enough. He should have posed the possibility that the poison, toxic and dangerous products being shipped to our country are weapons in a war we do not yet fully comprehend… One might even refer to it as “terrorism.”

I agree that WE are responsible to some degree in that we’re still (after the fact) doing business with this rogue nation.

Actually, I do live in China, and find it no worse than the USA.  That’s why I know just how ignorant and bigoted Cafferty et al. are!  Why not come and visit?

Cafferty is an ignoramus. Does his knowledge of China go beyond visiting a Chinese restaurant or two?

Cafferty’s words hurt our government, if just to government, people should not in such a tense. wether what the people said may appear on CNN, I feel cnn is a good place where people can share their idea with others, no government may hide this

OK, do-gooders, if you really want to help the Tibetans or anyone else in China, come teach English in a high school or college. Google “teach english china” and you’ll get a large list of possibilities.  Xining Teacher’s College has a lot of Tibetan students, for example.

Something in my post suggests to you that I support the US government??  Guess I’ll have to return to writing school.

Using the “Nixon defense” The line “everybody does it” will never make it right. 

Equating the (so-called) “government” in Darfur to the House of Saud is disingenuous. Last I heard the Saudi government was not involved in genocide.

How defensible is the US’s support of the Saudi Government?  Why should China be blasted for supporting Sudan’s economy when the US supports the Saudi Princes for the same reason (oil)?  Neither is good, but if your going to dish it out, you need to be able to self-criticize as well.

go ahead call us the chinese all you want,it doesn’t “hurt” us, we the strongs know that you are the weak, even an ant is more human than you!
so i suggest u go back to pres-school, learn some manners, go find your mommy to teach u.

China’s record on human rights is horrible, even by US standards. Their support of the government in Darfou is indefensible. The Government of China is not a duly elected body with which people choose to belong, it is a gulag, and we (in the US choose to over look this because we get cheap squeegees from them.

If China is such a great place, why have all these folks moved to the US? 

...the question is rhetorical…

Cafferty et al. need to realize it’s not 1908, and they can’t just insult a billion people without a lot of them talking back.  His claims that he wasn’t dissing all Chinese people, just the PRC government, is like the Grand Dragon of the KKK saying he didn’t hate all black people.  If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard some bigot deny he was a bigot, I could retire!

Us american think highly of ourselves....thats good...unfortunately our attitude will previal as well. Think auto industry and manufacturing in general.

We did it to ourself...and we have to undo it for ourself.....thanks for your time....honest working naturalized color american.

“I suspect this campaign is being manipulated by the USA government who wants China as an enemy.”

Excuse me, but is that the same US government that raised by 50% the number of visas for Chinese students? The same US government that has borrowed well into a Trillion dollars from the Chinese Government?
The same US government which now officially calls this Nation “China” when it is still communist China, or Officially to everyone else in the world; “The People’s Republic of...”

No you have it wrong. The US government wants China as a friend and banker. It is the manufacturing worker in this country Uncle Sam wants as an enemy…

Did the government that massacred protesters in Tiananmen Square, you know where the guy stood in front of the tank (who was later killed), did THAT government leave power? Aren’t they still using slave labor and killing members of the Falun Gong “cult” and some reports have then harvesting their organs for transplants; but that government is gone right?

The Chinese are partially responsible for the Dafur crisis, and were just caught shipping arms to Zimbabwe, for what is obviously a lead up to a brutal crack down by the now unelected government. Let us not forget Tibet.  Jack Cafferty is right they are the same group of tyrants, just because we do business with them doesn’t make them nice or noble, it just means instead of a communist totalitarian country they are a fascist totalitarian country.

Jack Cafferty is the ONLY HONEST reporter working for CNN.  The rest are all pathetic hacks. Their Zionist slant is actually a form of treachery against the United States.

Cafferty and Olbermann are the only two reporters working for the MSM who have a sense of decency. It’s amazing.

Well, most of the westerner think their have free speech, but do their? their throught is been programmed by the media, never able to jump out of that kind of thinking, so their have never have other kinds opinion beside what media feed them, sigh.... here is your chance, to learn the other side of coin, log into http://www.anti-cnn.com .

If you are an open mind person, may I suggest that open website http://www.anti-cnn.com see how others have different opinion about Jack and western reports.

Cafferty declares that ‘items from China are junk’ eh? I wonder how much of that ‘junk’ he has lying around in his house? Or where he works?

So you do agree that what Jack says is offensive, you are not angry about this, because it has not “offened” YOU, let’s consider, if he say something offensive about your family? will you NOT ask a apology from him? I think NOT.  It is too bad, that you are only reading ALL the news and comments about this case in English only, if you able to read the reporting and comments in Chinese, then you will hold a different opinion.

I was a witness to the protest held today in front of the CNN building in Los Angeles.  It was extremely unnerving to see hundreds of people flying a foreign country’s flag and protesting an American who was practicing his right to free speech.  However, this is how freedom of speach works.  One person would say something offensive and the other would be allow to protest it.  I love my country and I am extremely proud to be part of one of the few countries in the world that would allow this kind of protest.  But I due hope that CNN and Jack don’t back down.
