Having the desired effect
23 September 2004
Received a forwarded e-mail. Four .jpg attachments. They appear to be of a Chinese protest of some sort. How odd, I think. As I click on, I see a banner, held by two men, proclaiming, “Fuck Japanese!” The last photo is of a parent encouraging their child to join them in stomping on a Japanese flag.
I’m not sure why it was sent to me, and whether or not I’m seen as agreeing with the Chinese point of view regarding the historical and geographical clashes between the two countries.
Protest against some wrongdoings as much as you want, but I lose all respect for any protestor who would deface another country’s flag (or their own).

You dont suppose it is because Japan is trying to get a permenant veto in the UN do you?

No. Chinese people regularly get all shitty about Japan for a host of reasons. They don't need something so momentous.
