You know you have to laugh at this news.
It shows the brutish, visceral nature of their false face fascist society.
They don't respect his right to back out of it if he doesn't want to fro personal reasons and they act like he suddenly spit on their flag or something.
Chinese media is a joke, no opinion exists in that country, every blogger on every site is a government agent that is paid to incite anger among the people to distract them from domestic problems.
Yet, despite the fact that this is all apparent, China puts on this false face to hide the rot underneath.
(overpopulation, rampant sexism, government tyranny, corporate slavery, massive poverty.)
and no I am not anti-chinese, I just don't like when people ignore the fact that they are still a dictatorship over some movies(which are good by the way) and an ancient culture and suddenly think that they are the most advanced civilization in the world. The United States is crap too, this country has tons of problems, but at least we have some right to say that we do and not risk getting arrested for it. I appreciate chinese culture and I live in a mainly asian town, but as soon as I bring up 1989, Falun Gong, the censorship, and Darfur. They hold their ears and go La La La La La! I'm not listening to reason, must believe in parental enforced propaganda!
With some people, I do get a reasonable debate however.
And I'll have you know one of my most respected historical figures is Lu Xun (one of the first modern authors in chinese literature, he basically started writing books for the common folk to understand )
