Adesso è accesa, adesso è spenta. Qui è quando i cinesi dicono che le proteste sono una vergogna
Chinese officials on Tuesday issued a "strong condemnation to the deliberate disruption" by the pro-Tibet protesters along the relay route in London and Paris, but they said while their "despicable activities" may "tarnish the lofty Olympic spirit," the tour will not be stopped. Qui è quando dicono che non è successo niente China’s promise of unfettered media coverage for the Olympics is a shaky work in progress, at least as far as its own coverage of the Olympic torch's 21-nation promotional “Journey of Harmony” is concerned. In its global hopscotch the flame’s journey has been mostly all good news as far as the official Chinese media is concerned despite the chaos that is being visited on it in its path across the planet. “Warm reception in cold London,” read the April 7 headline in China Daily, the country’s largest English language newspaper. La fonte è la stessa, cambia l'uditorio. Altri esempi di realtà parallela. In conclusione: Whatever the case though, such reports are bound to further inflame the protesters abroad, who obviously feel they have nothing to lose by putting pressure on China in the lead up to the games. If things get really ugly, they may have to cancel or severely cutback parts of the torch route. The biggest losers of course will be the ordinary Chinese people, who are justifiably proud of hosting the Olympics and who will be (are) understandably bitter that the event is already being marred. All this makes it even more difficult to figure out what the cadres in Beijing were thinking, knowing full well they would be the target of every activist with a grudge in the months leading up to the Games. Didn't they have a plan other than sending in the troops and pretending nothing was happening? I dittatori sono sempre sopravvalutati. |
