he way certain American media cling to its imagination is really laughable. If you have any idea about Chinese social media, you'll know that it's mostly critical to the government nowadays, there are censorships on sensitive issues, but on those that are not censored, opinions can range from mild criticism to down right hostility. But majority of bloggers, Weibo (Chinese version of twitter) users and the like, believe that Fu Ping lied. Even here in the US, if you can read Chinese, you'll find that Chinese newspapers in the US (circulated among the Chinese immigrants community) follow pretty much the same opinion as the Chinese bloggers. Many of the Amazon comments that Thedailybeast demonized were actually very reasonable and fact-based, but they were conveniently left out by Thedailybeast, which only picked some of the more radical rants, those with pool English and bad expression -- those that are unflattering to the posters themselves. This is the real “smear campaign”, not the criticism of Fu Ping. Online comments are not newspaper articles, and don’t have the same quality. On any topic, extreme views, personal attacks, or even threats can be abundant among online comments. But to use them to discredit valid points of views? Thedailybeast, that’s low. Two UK news papers also covered this story and they are more balanced, regarding the critics of Fu as valid and factual points, instead of simply discrediting them as results of Chinese government propaganda. The handful of American medias that show heavy bias in their coverage of this story, they are very much alone on this, and will be laughing stocks. China, past or present, has lots of things to be criticized, or even condemned. But criticism should be based on fact. Valid criticisms will help Chinese making their country better, but criticisms based on fabrications will serve none of that purpose -- the only purpose they will serve is to indulge Americans into false satisfaction from of the illusion of self-righteousness, and provide fuels to Chinese government to attack all western criticisms, even the valid ones. And this dirty little trick of the Chinese government, if they care to use, will be effective because Chinese people really know that this time, the western media had it wrong. Every time a western media attacks the Chinese government with fabricated stories, they are actually helping out with the propaganda. Then of course they don't care. All they know is that Americans are happy with the story, outlandish and unsubstantiated as it is, it fits the “Evil Chinese government” picture perfectly well, and that’s good enough, so that the prejudices against anything Chinese can be harmlessly deepened. Well, harmless more or less, at least to Thedailybeast itself I suppose.
