As a renowned reporter for G&M, I've enjoyed your reports for years, particularly your reports about Afghanistan.
However, I cannot help but to disagree with you on your comments on Chinese Olympic Game Opening ceremony.
Your article reflected your lack of understanding of Chinese history and culture. No doubt, there are issues in Chinese political system. However, it is embedded in many countries. Canada included.
It is easy to follow the main stream western media to talk about human right issue etc. However, every issue is relative. Without understanding Chinese history and its recent development, barely mentioning Human Rights, it does not give the readers a content to understand what's truly going on in China.
I would like to point out that relative to Chinese history, Chinese people are enjoying unimaginable freedom compared to any period in Chinese history. For that part, it is a huge achievement. Your comments that dismissed the ceremony is barely a ceremony and nothing else. It is easy said than done. 30 years ago when China attended L.A Olympic games, nobody could imagine Chinese would have the ability to build Bird Nest, to be the 3rd largest economy and has the logistics and guts to host such an international events. There are thousands of volunteers practiced for months for their love of their country, their love of the games and their passion of a prosperous better China.
I am not sure whether it is a fashion or trend in Canadian media that it is politically incorrect not to mention about human rights whenever China is mentioned.
I would like to point out that there are political disputes in any country, including Canada. Natives protest 2010 Vancouver Olympic games. Chinese people have never publicly and officially supported Quebec's independence.
My point is that it is easy to chant Human Rights, however, it is difficult to provide an in-depth investigative report on Chinese Human Rights. I would challenge you to provide a full coverage on Chinese Human Rights development. The things that Chinese have done right and things that Chinese have done wrong.
If you like, I am open to meet you in person to discuss my point of view and I am looking forward to your thoughts on my suggestion.
Yours Sincerely,
