Barely a week ago, Jin Jing, a disabled Chinese woman fencer who was
one of the Olympic torchbearers in Paris, was being hailed in China as
a =93saviour of national honour=94 for defending the torch from pro-Tibet
demonstrators who attempted to seize it from her.

But all that has changed today. Jin is now being targeted for abuse as
a =93race traitor=94, and in the colourful language that characterises
contem****ary Chinese political discourse, as =93an utterly brainless,
evil-eyed wolf.=94
What has changed since last week? It turns out that in one of the many
interviews she gave during the short time she was savoured as a
celebrity, Jin cautioned against the virulent mobilisation of Chinese
citizens for a boycott of French supermarket chain Carrefour.

=93Jin Jing must have been paid off by the French,=94 posted one Netizen.
=93First she lost her leg; now, she=92s lost her mind,=94 said another.
