How is Schutzstaffel forged?

Yunfei Ran

The government started out with two sticks; one is the pen and the other gun; the latter kills off body and the former off thoughts. Besides, pens could produce words of mendacity, disguising and justifying the massive and indiscriminate killings caused by guns. The jungle government (by translator: referring to the current Chinese regime, meaning it came from peasant uprising) is also infatuated with the belief that regime comes from guns, and hitherto resists the ballot-based and peaceful completion. Therefore, it cares a lot about its private guarding team, Schutzstaffel, one that is maintained by the money from taxpayers; only because of doing so could the ruling group keep maximizing its interests.

In  the devastating earthquake taking place in Wen Chuan, it seems the performance of army was overlooked, but all could sense, from the anger of Premier Wen in barely controlling the soldiers, the paradox that the party commanding the gun and the non-nationalized army. Therefore what he could only do was throw out a word to the army to vent his anger, saying that “it’s the people who are feeding you, do as you see fits”, and turn around. As a matter of fact, their performance was even worse. They did enter fast, but with little professional skills of rescuing; except for an immediate arrival, their performance was no better than local police, not to speak of local firemen. Of course, ordering the army to conduct rescue per se is tantamount to thinking light of professional techniques of rescuing. A country dispossessing an outstanding professional team of rescuing and meanwhile refusing international aid, the result was undeniably missing of golden time to salvage the suffers and causing more innocent deaths which would have been avoided had been a better team present on time.

As China spends not a small amount on military, the strength of Chinese army is hence exaggerated in the world, which greatly excites those nationalists. But how is the fact? Military expense does cost a lot; payment to officers and soldiers has been raised. But is the military strength really upgraded? I am afraid we cannot be too optimistic. In dealing with unarmed people, they are undoubtedly unrivaled in bravery, but when it comes down to “real swords and spears”, especially the modernized war, in which they need to resist enemies, I am afraid they are another form of shoddy construction. No matter how awful their performance is, they are praised and no media can criticize them. Looking at such a greenhouse-protected army, coupled with assorted unstoppable corruptions, how much you could count on them? If the war is exploded, it is no more than day-dreaming to depend on them to fight against Russia’s consistent crudity and North Korea’s kidnapping and the growing-up of Japan. I am not nationalist or nation-supremacist, nor do I advocate war. In contrary, I stand for negotiation, for peace, and I support any effort of peacefulness and justice for defending the interests of a country by any means of diplomacy. Even so, a well-trained and civilized force is still indispensable if the interests of a country are to be protected. 

What is a civilized force? It’s one that embraces the taxpayers with great kindness, one that never points the bayonet to its own people. A civilized force does not come to being under the propaganda of party doctrine, or if the soldiers are prevented from accessing internet; nor could it be made by a tough physical training resulting in more brawn than brain. Training of the soldiers into those strong in the body but light in the head equates only with self-mutilation, which will ultimately jeopardize the government itself. Concerning the several battles happened after 1949, let’s lay aside, for the time being, the topic of justice, and look at the effects of these battles only; in which one did they win clean? Other than fiascos, only devastating victories were left. The army and popular morale accumulated through civil war has been far already exhausted; it is of great delusion to think of relying on Schutzstaffel and rejecting nationalization of the army as a means to keep ruling the country for ever.

The Wen Chuan earthquake was only a small test for the army, but problems have already been apparently noticed such as poor in fighting and training. Quality of the air plane, for instance, was so bad that one could not find any word for it. Especially the fallen plane, in view of those at the scene, it was like driving a tractor up to sky; how could it not fall down. In addition, one could get speechless on seeing the shoes of the soldiers; all were soaked in the rain of May that they had to use the donated sanitary towel as insole. It might be fine to rescue with such military outfit, but if they are faced up with real fighting, it will not be a small problem. Relying on such fooled soldiers—whose bodies are trained whereas brain deformed (meaning severely brainwashed)—to safeguard the country, we taxpayers cannot resist questioning. Nationalized army is the symbol of the civilized country, and is the cornerstone of a stable and safe society. A country whose army is not nationalized but only being Party-privatized Schutzstaffel will possibly deprive its people of being able to lead a life of happiness and dignity, which seem only day-dream for them.

Ran’s review of news week (103)

  1. Professor of Peking University Sun Dongdong:99% long time petitioners are mentally ill

http://news.163.com/09/0404/05/561IOQ950001124J.htmlThere may be no other comparable era like present China, where unreliable academicians, professors and experts are ubiquitous. Many experts have neither professional discipline nor academic consciousness, all they’re doing is making easily detected flawed defense for the strong and powerful authority without any consciousness of what academic disciple and objectiveness is. No doubt Sun Dongdong put forward such claim in an era where anyone who sings song of praise for the government can earn lots of candy. Many experts and professors have deteriorated to such a level to openly abuse their petty authority in the academia circle to speak for the evil interest group. You can’t see any rigorous academic definitions in Sun’s article. Where’s his source of data? Where’s his sampling survey? Even without any professional training, you can see the ridiculousness of his claim as long as you’re people with common sense. Then why dare he put forward such a claim that 99% long-time petitioners have mental problem, and should be sent to mental hospitals? That’s because the authority need him to come forward to speak for their evil stability, they need his conclusion to put out the fire for them, he has already had the conclusion in his mind even before any investigation, just waiting for a channel to express it. In terms of violating academic disciples, breaking the bottom line of humanitarianism, those are beyond his considerations.

  1. Research indicates the ubiquitous existence of interrogation are largely due to system defect

http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2009-03-26/051717483528.shtm Research is an obvious comparative rigorous way to judge something, but when it comes to something like interrogation, even many ordinary people know about officials defend for officials, judges take plaintiff and defender’s bribery. With some additional common sense, the non-independence of judicial system, injustice of judiciary system, combining with no balance and supervision among public security organs, procuratorial organs and people's courts but cooperation among each other through transaction of power, can you expect no interrogation under such a systematic design? Frankly speaking, you can reach such a conclusion that there will be absolute existence of interrogation in such a non-independent and injustice judicial system. Even faced to various suppressions, the media still exposes interrogation issues occasionally through all kinds of obstacles, which also demonstrate the ubiquitous existence of interrogation. We can say that it’s almost like day dreaming to extinct interrogation without the independence of public security and judicial system, and the transformation of administration’s superiority to judicial power. Everyone knows that interrogation issue can’t be solved without the reform of judicial system or even the political system. But the interest groups will never change before their final day comes, but when it comes it’ll be too later for them to change. This is where the tragedy of Chinese society lies in.

  1. Beijing citizen runs for next president of People’s Republic of China

http://www.donews.us/show.php?tid=600I haven’t read Mr.Chen’s manifestos, nor do I have any idea of what he advocates for, thus I’m not sure I’ll support him or not. However, I definitely support his right for running this campaign, regardless of how tiny it is, how hopeless it is, this right should be expressed. Unexpressed truth isn’t the truth, nor will your rights be preserved unless they’re expressed, from this viewpoint I support Mr.Chen’s campaign. People like Yao Lifa from Hubei have successfully become the national people’s representatives through their own efforts, and have done whatever they can to speak for the people and defense for people’s right. Anyone who has read the book will see the impact and meaning of the career of Yao Lifa as a national people’s representative and his campaign process on Chinese society. This will be of extraordinary meaning for nurturing a civic society in China over a long period of time. Therefore I believe if Mr.Chen can continuously run his campaign publicly, and announce his manifestos, he’ll make his own contributions to the development of the society in China. 

  1. Hei Long Jiang: running three empty cotton reserves with 3 million RMB fiscal budget every year

http://bbs.cyol.com/redirect.php?fid=6&tid=165044&goto=nextnewsetPeople must still have in mind the empty food reserve in Dangtu, An Hui province last year, where the food department scalped the food while abused the funds for national food reserve, and late came with no end. The empty cotton reserves and scalp of cotton, then gains large amount of financial budget is just another version of Dangtu story. On one hand the government violates the market mechanism, on the other lack of control over each department’s bribery taken behaviors, which results in the empty food and cotton reserves and the falsification. When food and cotton crises come under planned economic regulation, there will no availability of food and cotton, by then the government will make more lies to cover the stories for those corrupted officials. This undemocratic government originated from the corrupted officials’ cruelty towards its people, but one day the legitimacy of the regime will lose completely due to their corruption. By that time, the empty food and cotton reserves will become oil over the fire which will destroy the ill society. 

  1. Wei Fang of Shan Dong Province announces red title document to require the officials to sell houses for real estate developers

http://house.focus.cn/news/2009-03-30/648412.htmlThe compliance among real estate developers and local officials is an uncontroversial truth. The local government’s performance has been heavily relying on the real estate, which is also the main source of corruption for officials. One another way the real estate developers also make use of every means to make the officials their compliance in order to gain their high profitability. The compliance between businessmen and government officials forces the consumers to the position of being kidnapped without any choice, the only difference is higher or lower ransom. When the economic crises fell on China, there’re various measures concerning real estate industry, and also ridiculous performance of the real estate developers and officials, but using the official document to order the officials to sell houses for the real estate developers is still rare. However, just this single example can demonstrate how ridiculous the compliance among businessmen and government officials has become. 

  1. Hong Kong media: the salary of PLA common soldiers and officers will increase 50%

http://bt.xinhuanet.com/2009-03/25/content_16061235.htm No supervision, no presence of media, no exposure or reflection of corruption, there’s lots to worry about the combat forces on the military under such circumstances. I have to admit they’ve got a system of methods to deal with those taxpayers who feed them, but when it comes to deal with outside world, it’s a different story, they’ve taken four wars after 1949: North Korea war as the United Nations, China Indonesia war, China Soviet Union war, China Vietnam war, the first won with disastrous loss, the last three are just fiasco. The military expenditure is increasing every year, and its salary has already higher than the local government’s payment, there must be some stories behind this 50% increase under such an economic crises time. The 50% growth for common soldiers and officials (people with high ranking also relatively increase) just another money the government prepays for the military to help them deprive more legal rights of taxpayers and preserve their robbed interest. There’s no public debate on the military salary increase, nor is there supervision over financial budget, when the people are experiencing the economic winter, they just arbitrarily increase their salary without any saying. The decision behind this salary increase must have some unspoken stories; however this will never buy an evil stability for them. 

  1. Chongqing official claims no fear of exposure(continued): denial of absence from work to attend birthday party

http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2009-04-01/051817523420.shtml.We can judge the phenomenon of the officials defend for each other in the government, the abuse of power by the officials have become a part of their heart and soul ,even such a small, local official dare to despise the media exposure. No democratic election, no real supervision, of course comes no fear of exposure. Can’t you see those dismissed a few days ago are just reinstated? This director Lei, hasn’t he seen the strong return of his example Zhang Zhiguo? With the role of such example, the officials are as energetic and fearless as those injected with chicken blood. Who cares about exposure? Dismissal is just another paid vacation; I can just be reinstated one day. You can see many outrageous officials behave like gangsters under such a social background. They’re so protected and loved by their superiors, which has testified one truth I’ve mentioned before: government only loves bad officials.

Book numbers control aiming at clamping down on thoughts

Yunfei Ran

The presses in democratic countries are mostly private owned, belonging to virtually commercial activities. Consequently and naturally, the book numbers are not under control, only a system of registration is adopted. That is to say, you don’t need an approval to publish a book, nor need you purchase book numbers from somewhere. Book numbers are not monopolized by anyone; you can access it without authorization or purchasing. While clauses such as the freedom of the press are documented in Chinese constitution, existing of the national Press and Publications Administration (PPA) is basically for violation of this clause. The so-called irregular publishers that have been investigated and turned down by PPA are actually those having published books whose thoughts are not aligned or in violation with the official ideology. In fact, such investigations are openly interferences of the freedom of speech and press.

The harms of book numbers control have been clearly depicted in an article by Dong Ding called Why should we lift the ban on book numbers? The institution of controlling book numbers is like the rules in any sector, severing or privileging the “big boss” of the sector like the national PPA. The effects of such controlling consist of 1) providing a room of rent-seeking for officials who take the reins of these book numbers—it is well known that many officials in charge of publishing have reaped benefits; 2) aggravating the burden on readers since expensive paying for books numbers will be part of cost and ultimately be shouldered by readers. In addition, due to the costly paying for book numbers, the books of small circulation are likely to lose the chance of being published, drastically devastating the cultural diversity as well as some unpopular researches. But what is more critical is that book numbers control has been the incinerator of diverse cultures, expressions and thoughts, leaving the press many times a tool of confusing right and wrong and a sycophant of the government.

 None of the press in China is private owned, all of them are so-called communal publishers supervised by the government, causing this industry to be in a state of deformed development, and inflicting its socioeconomic benefit as well. Many problems of China’s economy in the backdrop of the unprecedented global economic crisis are created by our institutions. For instance, the stagnancy of book industry in which audience could barely afford to purchase, and the resultant low consumption in cultural products, are majorly ascribable to the supervision of book numbers which has been persistently fueling a series of high costs of publishing. If access to book numbers is unleashed, not only will the publishing industry be thriving, and cultural consumption be increasing, but also relevant industries will be galvanized, thus, in a sense, helping Chinese people weather though the current economic recession. Just as the system of controlling over book numbers hinders consumption and inflicts the publishing, there are also many other industries suffering because of the administrators in pursuit of their own interests. All these generate enormously negative impact on the economy and people’s lives.  

We are surprised at the academic and ideological proliferation during the period of the republic of China, that were rendered by an education of liberation, multivariation, tolerance and an education not “partied” or “partinized” (it got a little severer after the War of Resistance, but not as bad as today that the Communist Party officials predominate almost everything). But another point, which we might not remember, free establishment of press and competition between publishers were also an important reason for the thriving academic and ideological achievement at the time. The authors then not only ran peer journals, such as Xin Yue (New Moon), Xian Dai (Modernity), Wen Xue (Literature), Wen Yi Zhen Xian (the Frontier of Literature and Art), but also opened many peer presses to an extent of countlessness, like Shui Mo Press publishing leftist books. As a result of peer presses and peer journals, the triggered competition and diversification furnished the audience with a large room of choices, and a colorful variety of literatures were achieved as well. Without the freedom of the press, no original thoughts could be given birth; without the naissance of original thoughts, it is of no difference with empty talk of paper to realize the so-called social progress or national rejuvenation, not to speak of acquisition of personal dignity.

The system of book numbers control was not initiated until 1990s, such system of administration has imposed great harm to this country both implicitly and explicitly. After 1949 the press in China had many forbidden regions where many volumes were taken as prohibited and reactionary books. Besides, hierarchical divisions existed in the tunnels to information and accesses to books. Before the Cultural Revolution, for instance, only could people in upper class touch yellow and gray books (said to include 1041 types), these were all for the reading of leaders and cadres, not for that of unqualified ordinary people. To read the interior version of these books, references and relations were needed to get into Xinhua bookstore. As Mr. Yu Haocheng has recalled, the year when Public Publishing House printed The Gulag Archipelago in original Russian (Архипелаг ГУЛаг) by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, purchasers were required to write down their family, employer and address by high-ranking official Hu Qiaomu in charge of propaganda and news media at the time. It seems that nowadays there have been few interior published books, and it looks like a progress has been made. Actually it is not so; previously books divergent from the main-stream ideology could be distributed through such interior publishing, but today as long as it’s marked as a prohibited book there is no chance for it appearance. How can we hope a country to be resuscitated and to grow up if its clamping down on publishing to such an extent that good books cannot be published.  In this country, people could not reflect freely, people could not speak freely, people’s expressions and works could not be freely published; they are derived of dignity, but also of creativeness. That no real vitality exists in this country is the inevitable consequence.

You are not fighting alone: to Tan Zuoren.

Yunfei Ran

I received a text in the morning of March 31 and knew that you were taken away by them (by translator: “them” refers to government). In a country of insecurity and with sometimes terror in air, while this was not out of my expectation, still I could not believe it and would rather think of it as a canard. Since such canards had happened many times—which represents friends’ care for you—I didn’t take the text serious at first sight. But after I asked your friends who have more associations with you, it was assured that you were really taken away this time; it was not a canard.

Having made sure of what happened to you, I was in my room along recalling our friendship of over ten years; I started to feel unwell. The liberality when you drink, the promises and loves you keep to your friends, the persistence, fortitude and braveness, “slow in speech but quick in action” of your working, are all that make your friends bear in mind forever. I have little idea of when you started to involve yourself in public activities; I didn’t further into your bright history as you didn’t mention. I only know that for many years you have been working with “Green River”, one of Sichuan’s renowned NGOs, and devoted yourself to many of Sichuan’s environmental activities. The love you have for your hometown makes you intolerable of anything harmful to the land on which you grow up. You were opposed to construction of hydropower station on the only water source for Chengdu (capital of Sichuan province), Bai Tiao River (if constructed Chengdu will be in endless trouble); you were against construction of Zi Pingpu hydropower in Du Jiangyan (a city close to Chengdu), especially after earthquake you took pains to accentuate, repetitively, the potential trouble that this reservoir harbors to both Chengdu and Du Jiangyan. All of these have less to do with your own interest, but more with your conscience.

Concerning constructing of Peng Zhou petro-chemical project (PZPC) on seismic belt, and the hidden problems it might bring to Chengdu, you are dreadfully worried. You are the most rational and most stubborn one in fighting against PZPC and also doing the most; when almost everyone were about to surrender, you were still running for solutions by all means. You were a bearded Quixote, persevering in your own investigation with effort even when some people who thought themselves smart satirized your struggling. You said, as being one of Chengdu people (you parents were from Hunan, you born in Chengdu), if not combating against the projects detrimental to Chengdu, you could hardly sleep and eat. You said, if we know they are going to harm us but we don’t oppose them, aren’t we Chengdu people coward? You kept petitioning the province congress for requiring public debate regarding advantages and disadvantages of the project; you continuously and rationally proposed relevant suggestions of middle point, but barely received attentions and replies. You went on spreading out the jeopardy of the project, and you even came up with the idea to wrap white cloth around head and attach white label to cars, to show the impression of weakness (rather than demonstration), in order to draw attentions from relevant parties. While the project is now under an accelerated way, Zuoren, you didn’t fail to live up to your conscience, you didn’t let your family down, especially your kids—it’s the duty of parents to fight for the right to subsistence and dignity of their offspring—and you didn’t disappoint the majority of Chengdu people who were in silence.

You were running a magazine called Wen Huan Ren with friends, issuing lots of articles concerning democracy and freedom, which the readers enjoyed a lot and, meanwhile, worried about you, but it had been around for years until not allowed to operate. You are a person more than taking action, you also write to express your opinions. After the earthquake, not only did you go up to the stricken area to help suffers and participate in many of post-disaster reconstructions, but also you wrote down and distribute what you had seen and heard, to let more of those that could not be there personally know about some of the hidden and masked truth. Zuoren, you were in danger, but you were still trying all your best to help others. Recall the night you received a phone call at Zi Pingpu dam from some sufferer in Bei Chuan, you drank liquor with tears, you marched along in darkness; wood and stones moved. Liu Shaokun from Guang Han (by translator: a city in Sichuan) was detained and investigated because of taking pictures in the stricken area with you, and posing them online, you approached those in charge and told them that “I took him there and took pictures together, I will be with him together to jail.” At last, that Liu shaokun could be freed has a lot to do with your care and endeavor. You are such a person with affection and faith, and responsibility.

You are a father of two kids, which makes you unbearably upset at the massive deaths of students due to shoddily-constructed schools. I also have one kid; when we were drinking we talked about we would choose to die had our kids encountered the same event. We understood deeply that the grief and helplessness of those parents were desperate to an extent of extremity. They were in need of consolation and care, but they needed just and truth more, the same feeling with that of ours as all being parents. Therefore, you brought up the idea to build up an archive of student deaths in the earthquake on May 12, and drafted a detailed documentation and were to put into practice. After you sent it to me with approval, I publicized it, and, consequently, lots of attention attracted. Perhaps it was because of this archive that brought you with disaster, but the archive was such a rational appeal! They should understand that the masked truths and hidden conflicts will break out sooner or later; instead they should try to address the problems as much as possible in a practical attitude. They should also be aware that suppression of all sorts of proper and legal efforts has no difference with placement of a powder-keg in front of themselves, which is something that a rational government should not do. The thought of stability as the top priority over anything else will end up dispossession of stability with “anything else” fragmented, the result of which is rather than a good thing to everyone.

Such conscience as Zuoren possesses, stems from his family education in addition to his own character and holding. His father, Tan Yinghua, was a prestigious historian at Sichuan University, and recognized in the research of Western History of Historical Science, Zang History and History of Tang Dynasty. His father was straight, and never changed his colors of being a scholar even though having encountered quite a few hardships. I was fortune to read two of his works, Proofreading of Reading, Eating and Goods in two Tang Dynasties, historical science and historians in 19 century, and amazed by his profoundness. Nurtured in such a family, although Zuoren’s work is on medical science, he has also touched upon writing of literature and history. Undeniably, the most important is that he inherited the spirit of his father, the awareness that intellectuals should shoulder his/her responsibility of being an intellectual.

Last June 4th, we were together donating blood to commemorate, you said with sadness, “next year, I could not donate anymore.” We were surprised and asked you why, you told us you have come to the last year of that one is able to donate—55, but your warm blood has been donated, in another way, to your beloved undertaking of freedom and democracy. A couple of days ago, a friend mentioned the pictures of us together on last June 4th were kept by you, we were about to take one from you and invite you to drink together; but expectedly you had already been “invited” by them into jail. Have you visited your parents’ tombs yet (by translator: a Chinese tradition usually in Tomb Sweeping day)? It’s hard to imagine the suffering you would bear, such a person of responsibility for both family and friends, if unable to sweep your parents’ tombs. It’s so sorrowful a thing that, close to the Tomb Sweeping days, one could not freely visit their parents’ tombs with family. We wish you come back early, then we could go sweep their tombs together, and let them be proud of what you have done for this country and this society; it’s also a type of gratitude I could and want to express to your father for benefiting from his knowledge.

Zuoren, you are suffering now, but you know that all your friends are helping you by all means; although our helps are limited, one thing you should know is that you are not fighting alone. The suppresser will never be a winner and terror could not be a final conqueror. We hope relevant parties don’t make another mistake and could cling to the spirit of seeking truth from facts, free Tan Zuoren as soon as possible. Never underestimate a heart in love and pursuit of freedom, not to mention thousands of millions of the same hearts.

Who is producing “Patriot” White Arsenic?

Yunfei Ran

Several pieces of reflection casually drafted down; perhaps a little humorous, but black.

1. From allergic to neurotic
When words of allergy are flooding and becoming hindrance to Chinese expressions, when websites concerning freedom of speech are blocked or shut down and the song of Cao Ni Ma (by translator: pronunciation of which means fuck you, but different Chinese characters, seen as netizen’s response to governmental movement to regulate internet) spreading out across China, the government is like a whole-body allergic patient. Everywhere is its mine area that you cannot touch. Once you do, its climax and scream will come up together, with the consequence that all sounds aimed at unveiling of truth will be repressed.

2. All demons are self-proved
When spokesmen like Qin Gang at Ministry of Foreign Affair take lying as homely food, you (by translator: here you means people like Qin Gang) will thus know why others are in any minute anxious of the advent of “anti-porno” movement (by translator: in China, the government usually take anti-porno as a cover under which many websites are shut down regarding expression of different opinions). Don’t say that the others are demonizing you, what they need do is only take out the mirror then the demon will be shown naturally; indeed no need for people to demonize you! Even if you are running hundreds of millions of China Central Televisions, truth cannot be defeated.

3. Big Chinese movies of SM.
When governors in a country are exclaiming unblushingly in public “why don not the people reveal their own properties” (by translator: in china, there has been great appeal to officials revealing their income), what is the cuteness of being ruled by these governors? Are we really unlimited servants with a common feature of being abused? It is actually true that the sadism government “reaches out to and be one with” the masochism civilians, together performing a drama of SM, the result of which is a mixture of bitterness and happiness. Yet, happy are those of governors and bitter are those of civilians.

4. To be an honored and patriotic dead man.
I once authored one article named love the country till crazy, precisely depicting the relation of government—people, companies—people being that of sadism and masochism (by translator: here companies probably referring to those exploiting the employee and those whose products are noxious). After deaths caused by toxic powder milk, there was actually someone advocating the companies by claiming that they are our national products however they are poisonous. In accordance with what he/she meant, if we want to suicide by using white arsenic we should use the brand “Patriot”, to express our unchanging love of country and be a 100% patriotic dead man.

5. Kidnapping is everywhere
It seems that the consumer’s association in Hubei province has seen clearly the underworld nature of the society (by translator: gangsterdom), thus could not help taking consumers as hostages to charge companies: complaints will be cleared off for whichever pays the Consumer’s Association. Both companies and consumers are twiddled by consumer’s association, and the ultimate victims are consumers without question. The question, though, is that who isn’t a consumer? I said China is a “mutually jeopardizing society”, it seems, accordingly, I should charge the usage of it for creation of this term.

6. Who’s afraid of whom on earth?
The government led by Chairman Mao said once that “Who’s afraid of whom on earth? It’s not people afraid of American Imperialist, it’s actually the converse.” Qin Gang stated that Chinese government is not afraid of the internet; And Lian Yue answered the internet is afraid of the government instead. The former—government—alleges not afraid but does actually be, which is called threatening in manner but cowardly at heart; the latter—internet—is said to be afraid but actually not, sufficiently sarcastic. And eventually we should resort to the poem of Lu You (by translator: one the greatest poets in South Song Dynasty): harsh of east wind, tenuous of joyfulness (by translator: east wind referred to the government, joyfulness to that of the people).
