re: #225 FemNaziBitch

China’s Global Times (a party organ) ran a sharply critical editorial about Obama after the elections last week, just a few days before the APEC summit. Most Chinese also don’t know that Obama chews Nicorette — which I’ve never seen sold here in the land of chain smokers — or even that he smokes. Then, the president used his own limo instead of the Chinese-supplied limo, so his arrival didn’t fit the uniformity expected of the carefully orchestrated showcase.

Sprinkle all this with the latent prejudice in China against dark-skinned people, add the Party’s use of online shills to push the party agenda, and you’ve got all the makings of a Chinese outrageous outrage*.

* The Chinese equivalent might be 令人发指 (ling ren fa zhi) = make one’s hair stand on end, or makes one’s blood boil. These four-word proverbs are called “cheng yu” and I’m trying to learn a few.
