Hello.

I have taught a U.S. undergraduate students now work in China, because of its own observation and thinking wrote these proposals, I hope I can see more Chinese youth. I see it translated into Chinese word for word on his blog, but very much hope that through your influence so that more people see it, we too need to China's youth exchange and others.

salute
are cheating and silver

------------------------ -------------------------

Out of his own observations in China by the flu, the U.S. youth Wrote: "All the recent events in China and can not bring honor or respect. On the contrary, in the eyes of outsiders, these acts so that China does not seem rude and disrespectful Kaihua (uncivilized and brutish). I would like to help my Chinese friends, especially those living abroad who help them learn how to properly deal with the Western political disputes, so they can better enable foreigners to understand their motherland, China's international image repair. . . I sincerely wish the Beijing Olympic Games success! "

before the start of the recommendations, he said,"I worry that some of the things I wrote a little 'discipline' taste "(I'm a little concerned that what I wrote might seem patronizing .)

Below is his detailed proposals, a total of five of the 18:

one, if you see the Western media's anti-China inaccurate reports:

1. edit the program to write a polite letter, pointed out that the crux of the problem, using logic to support your point of view. (To be decent and civilized expression of your point of view, wrote a letter to the editor is a good way - and your letter may be issued free of charge up to allow more people to see)

DO write a polite letter to the editor to point out the problem, giving a logical argument to support your position. (Letters to the editor are a respectable, civilized way to express your opinion-and you can get it published for free)

2. If some photos or video clips is wrong or misleading, their produce a cool, information content of the video to explain why those things are wrong. (Coolly rational people are willing to watch the video and learn from)

DO make a calm, informative video that explains why a photograph or media clip is wrong or misleading. (People are willing to listen to and learn from calm, reasonable videos)

3. Do not write angrily Qichong Chong, the loss of rational full of personal attacks and communist political Curse of the protest letter. (If your letter angered Qichong Chong, people will not respect your point of view. Hysterical personal attacks, the performance will be ignored. Communist discourse features at a glance, if people think you simply repeat government propaganda, then no one will ride Justifications for you)

DON'T write an angry, irrational protest letter with an argument based upon ad hominem attacks and Communist political mantras. (If you write an angry letter, your opinion will not be respected. Ad hominem attacks (irrelevant criticism of a person's character) will be rejected as desperate. Communist language is very easy to spot, and people will disregard you if they think you are simply repeating government propaganda.)

4. Do not create anger Qichong Chong There is no logic of video to the West wanted to tell the audience they are idiots. (If a person trying to insult you the way to correct you, you generally find it difficult to accept, especially such a remedy is also no logic at all, this video on YOUTUBE is an excellent teaching material by negative example, http://www.youtube .com/watch? v=x9QNKB34cJo. It not only an insult to the audience, but also vigorously promote some unfounded and logical conclusion, such as the CIA is still support the call from Ramli.)

DON'T make a video that makes angry, illogical statements and tells the Western viewer he is an idiot. (It is difficult to accept correction from a person who insults you, especially if he does it illogically. This video on YouTube is a perfect example of what NOT to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9QNKB34cJo. It insults the viewer and makes unsupported and illogical claims, such as saying the CIA still provides support to the Dalai Lama.)

5. to those who were untrue reports of the media, not called for a ban on one, not two violent attacks. (It is important, the Western media is not subject to government control, so they will not be too wrong and prejudice seriously the child. The protection of freedom of expression to protect those who are equally wrong and unfair remarks, in order for us from the tyranny of the Harm, it is important to remember)

DON'T call for bans or violent attacks against publications or broadcasters who make unfair statements. (It is very important to remember that since Western media are not controlled by the government, their errors and biases should not be taken so seriously. Freedom of speech even covers speech that is unfair or wrong; this is an important protection against government tyranny.)

2. If A foreigner in your possession and possession of disagreement on the issue:

6, respect people of different cultures, to know his political views and moral values with you different. (For example, the Americans are usually the various "independent"campaign have have a positive attitude, because they think that today the United States attributed to the good life entirely independent of the United States. Also, the people of other countries usually have more of the Government The suspect, especially for the Chinese Central Government such a totalitarian government)

DO respect the fact that the person's culture is different, and that he views political and moral issues differently. (For example, Americans often have a positive view of "independence"movements because they think of all the good things that came from American independence. Also, people from some countries are more suspicious of government, especially authoritarian governments like the central government of China)

7, please remember that he did not have long in China, so he contacted on the possession of different information, some of these than you in China's more accurate. (Possession of experience in the study of Tibetan culture, the Chinese people's advantage is you have more opportunities, and foreigners have the advantage of them can be exempted from the Chinese government's propaganda, review and deceptive interference)

DO realize that since he didn't grow up in China, he has access to different information about Tibet, some of which is more accurate than what you learned in China. (Chinese people have the advantage of having better opportunities to study and experience Tibet. Foreigners have the advantage of learning about Tibet without the interference of Chinese government propaganda, censorship, and deceit.)

8, with a friendly debate, knows of moving people with a real justification. (Can be controversial, not emotion, it is best you can learn from)

DO have a friendly debate based on facts and logic. (Have a little debate. Don't get emotional. Hopefully you will both learn something.)

9, Zhichi not know all the others are wrong. (He knows every little bit of possession is not necessarily wrong, good will to correct the ignorance of others more than Zhichi polite)

DO have a friendly debate based on facts and logic. (The person is probably not wrong about everything regarding Tibet, and it is more polite to gently correct than to tell him that he is ignorant.)

10, when you do when there is no evidence, Do not saying no. ( "Possession of possession was, is always part of China"is not a complete judgement. For possession of links with China you must provide convincing evidence of the history)

DON 'T make absolute statements that you cannot readily support. ( "Tibet was, is and always will be a part of China"is not a complete argument. You must provide convincing historical evidence of the ties between Tibet and China.)

Third, if you are a Chinese and Tibetan possession on the issue of differences

11, to respect the different views, try to understand why some people with official Different views. (Stress again that I think the "different"is the best teacher)

DO talk about your differences of opinion respectfully and learn why some people disagree with the official Chinese position. (Once again, I think it is best to try to learn from someone with different opinions.)

12, not Zhichi others as "traitors"and the threat of violence to each other and their family's security. (With the Chinese government does not mean that different views of treason, violence or threat of use of violence will never be I am afraid! They seem neither to the Chinese civilization and Xiong Baba Chinese people treat their compatriots Wang, 1000 Duke University sources the way I do not let the cold The chestnut)

DON'T denounce the person as a "traitor"and threaten him or his family with violence. (Disagreeing with the Chinese government is different from betraying China. Violence or threats of violence are never excusable, and they make China seem nasty and uncivilized. I was appalled at the way Grace Wang at Duke was treated by her fellow Chinese citizens.)

40, if the protesters disrupted the Austrian Win the torch relay

13, a few of those interference in the political purpose of the torch relay, to express your disappointment and unease. (You may find that many people on the same politicization of the Olympic Games was so disappointed that, but many people really think that the Chinese government "for the Chulai Hun also a little")

DO express your dismay that a small number of people have decided to disrupt the torch relay for political purposes. (You will probably find many people who are also disappointed that the Olympics have become so political-but many people also think that the Chinese government deserves to be embarrassed.)

14. Ask your friends if they think that such interference can be love in the original, if their different views with you, to respect each other on the basis of discussion. (After all, the Olympics has been so politicized, is to be discussed this politicized what should be up to?)

DO ask your friends if they think these disruptions are acceptable, and have a respectful discussion if your opinions differ.Since the Olympics have already become so political, the attacks on the torch provide a good starting point to discuss what the limits to this politicization should be.

15, Do not torch interference As the entire city or country unpardonable sin. (Torch in Paris and San Francisco blocked does not mean that the majority of the French and Americans is that the anti-China, most of them simply indifferent. No conclusive evidence before, we can not blame France and the United States Government)

DON'T behave as though disrupting the Olympic torch relay is an unforgivable sin on the part of an entire city or nation. (The fact that the torch relay was disrupted in Paris and San Francisco doesn't mean that most French or most Americans are anti-China. Most of them don't really care. You can't blame the French or American governments, either, without serious evidence.)

16, do not attempt to resist violence and unrest "punishing"foreign companies. (To her by some people to "punish"the country is wrong, Carrefour boycott of Carrefour limited impact but is likely to harm the interests of Chinese employees, and Carrefour sold products in China The company's interests. Carrefour Organization riots in China to really look very backward and stupid)

DON'T try to "punish"foreign companies with boycotts and violent mobs.Not only is wrong to try to "punish"a country for an insult made by some of its citizens, boycotting Carrefour will not hurt Carrefour much and will mostly hurt Carrefour's Chinese employees, and the Chinese companies whose products are sold at Carrefour. Forming violent mobs at Carrefour makes China look really backward and stupid.

5, if someone insulted the "China"or "Chinese people"


17 When these people say "China"or "Chinese people", to clarify his meaning is not "the Chinese central government."( "China"refers to the "Chinese government"is very common usage, as people are also commonly used, "the United States"means the "U.S. government". When Westerners criticize the Chinese Government when they are not in Criticized the entire Chinese people, they know the Chinese people can not choose their political leaders)

DO think carefully about whether the person means "the Chinese central government"when he says "China"or "the Chinese. "(It is very common to say"China "when speaking about the Chinese government, just like one would say"the US "when talking about the US government. Furthermore, when Westerners criticize China's government they are not
blaming all Chinese; they realize that the Chinese people do not choose China's political leaders.)

18, in a lot of things are on the customary Kouchukuangyan, when he Do not Matter infants. (Like Jack Cafferty, Lou Dobbs and Bill O'Reilly of these people, their job is Kouchukuangyan depends on the breadwinners. They are so stupid Maoshi Guazaizuibian is to attract the eye. So when they are on China's nonsense 8, the best approach is to ignore and not called for severe punishment. Just because someone on TV said something about China Chunhua on such sensitive, more absurd ah!)

DON'T feel like you need to respond if the person frequently makes outrageous statements on other topics. (People like Jack Cafferty, Lou Dobbs and Bill O'Reilly are paid to be provocative. They say silly, offensive things all the time because more people will watch them. So when they say something silly and offensive about China, the best response is to roll your eyes, not to call for severe punishment.Americans think it's ridiculous how sensitive the Chinese are about one man saying some dumb things about China on TV.)
