Chinese News Agency Pounds Pelosi's Hypocrisy and Double Standards
By Noel Sheppard | March 23, 2008 - 16:01 ET
It should go without saying that I by no means sup****t China's recent
position on Tibet.
However, it is nonetheless delicious to read an international opinion
piece
depicting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as a "muckraker of her own
hypocrisy" whose "double standards reveal her motives and those of her
kind"
that "[refuse] to check their facts and find out the truth" about issues
before expressing "indignation [that] is reserved for those occasions when
their interests are best served."
If you exchanged all references in this piece to the situation in Tibet
with
virtually any major issue facing our nation today, these assertions would
be
dead on target concerning the Speaker's modus operandi, wouldn't they?
As opined by Xinhua's Wang Jiaquan Sunday (emphasis added to heighten your
entertainment pleasure):
The U.S. Speaker became a muckraker of her own hypocrisy when, out of
the
so-called concerns about human rights in Tibet, she pompously condemned
China in Dharamsala, while enjoying the hospitality of the orchestrators
of
the Lhasa riots. [...]
Pelosi's double standards reveal her motives and those of her kind:
their
indignation is reserved for those occasions when their interests are best
served.
Finding a leverage to tarnish China, 'human rights police' like Pelosi
are
habitually bad tempered and ungenerous when it comes to China, refusing to
check their facts and find out the truth of the case - who is it who is
really trampling on human rights? China or the rioters?
Her views are like so many other politicians and western media. Beneath
the double standards lies their intention to serve the interest groups
behind them, who want to contain or smear China.
Irrespective of the subject matter, isn't it interesting that a Chinese
writer has a better grasp of Pelosi's disingenuousness than America's
fawning press representatives?
I'm verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves.
