All The Best Propagandists Have Chinese Eyes

The MSM continues to not comprehend that China is a police state where "spontaneous" demonstrations are swiftly crushed, except when Beijing favors them:

The demonstrations illustrate the depth of hostility and suspicion felt by many Chinese toward Japan. They pose a potential policy challenge to China's communist leaders, who have promoted patriotic sentiment in recent years but are also keen to limit disruption of already-strained Sino-Japanese ties amid accusations from some protesters they have been too soft on Japan, which invaded and occupied much of China from 1931-1945.

They also highlighted the strength of nationalist passions even among students at the elite universities in the capital.

Thousands of students marched across town and besieged the Japanese embassy and ambassador's residence in Beijing, pelting them with stones and “breaking many windows and causing other damage”, the embassy said.

The demonstrators, who organised the protest through e-mail, internet postings and mobile phone text messages, also attacked Japanese restaurants, signs and billboards advertising Japanese companies, and Japanese-made cars, it said.

Nobutaka Machimura, Japan's foreign minister, summonedChina's ambassador to Tokyo and demanded an apology and compensation for damage caused during the rally. Mr Machimura urged Beijing to take steps to prevent attacks against Japanese people.

The weekend protests were the largest in Beijing since 1999, when large crowds surrounded the US Embassy after Nato aircraft bombed China's embassy in Belgrade. Student demonstrations have been rare in Beijing since pro-democracy protests centred on Tiananmen Square were crushed by the army in 1989.

Beijing has made clear that it agrees with anti-Japanese demonstrators who accused Tokyo of failing to acknowledge and atone for its brutal invasion more than half a century ago.

Of course Beijing agrees with the demonstrators---it whipped them up.

A few years back when the U.S. accidentally struck a Chinese embassy with bombs, every single one of my Chinese manufacturing suppliers stopped shipping at the same time, and with the exact same script: "We will resume shipments when your country stops bombing our embassies." Isn't it curious how businessmen all over China came to the exact same conclusion, expressed in identical fashion?

Not to the the media, it's not.

Did these guys get their degrees from an online diploma mill or what?
