And please don't pretend to be a Chinese expert. We (Chinese) know your kind, and we know why you live in China. We despise you.
It appears that my post above offended you. Obviously, there are Chinese people who care about this a great deal. With 1 billion people, of course there will be a percentage that care, and even a small percentage is a large number of people.
I was posting from my experience. The Chinese people that I know don't appear to care that much. I've discussed it with them, and none of them were outraged by the prize being awarded as it was. I compared it to the Obama award because, to me, it felt the same. Americans were, I think, more puzzled than outraged that Obama got the award before he really had a chance to do anything. The Chinese people that I know feel similarly. They are puzzled or flabbergasted, but not angry.
Yes, I'm a foreigner in China. I'm not sure what your problem with foreigners is, but it's pretty narrow-minded of you to think you know me simply because I was not born here. I'm surprised at your comment about Chinese people hating foreigners because the truth is that everyone has been very friendly to me here. People say hi to me all the time. They want to talk to me, know where I am from, ask for a photo, or just make a new friend.
You may be Chinese, but I really don't think you speak for all Chinese people in this regard.
Being that you are so narrow minded, I'm guessing you see this issue (the Nobel) as black and white. It isn't. Nothing is. My time in China has taught me to re-evaluate many things I previously believed to be true. There are two sides to every story. The truth usually contains a bit of both, and lies somewhere in the middle. China and the West are usually on opposite sides of that truth. Western media tells one side. Chinese media tells the other. Regardless of what country you are in, people are equally ignorant unless they seek out alternative views and consider all of the information objectively.
When observing these events, I feel it is much better to question and be humble, rather than to state things as fact. Things are usually not as clear cut as they seem.
