China is not a popular country these days in the Australian media. Nearly every political article and opinion published over the past few years have been critical, denigrating or just down right condescending.
Yesterday, Michael Sainsbury brought the criticism to a new height (or was it new low?). (“For China, Burma is a thorny territory”, The Australian 8 Sep 2009 http://wl.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,26039367-7583,00.html) In commenting on the disturbances in Burma close to the Chinese border, he commented not just about China trading with Burma but extended his general comments to all Chinese living in the region.
If one takes Sainsbury’s comments literary, then all mining of Burmese jades and rubies are carried out by Burmese generals, Chinese are hated all over Southeast Asia, and Singapore is an enclave set up for Chinese like Israel was for the Jews.
Perhaps he will one day propose a new Final Solution for the Chinese?
