‘Freedom’ Versus ‘Tyranny’
Ash isn’t usually this pitiful but the juxaposition in his G & M piece between India the land of the ‘free’ and China the land of ‘tyranny’ is typical of the sort of trash spouted by many Western commentators and editors who adhere resolutely to the political correctness of cheer-leading India at the expense of China.
Both countries face immense developmental problems but China has a much better handle on it. So, instead of distorting things into stark black and white, present a more accurate picture, that both countries are painted in many shades of gray and it take political will, good planning and organization, and a strong work ethnic among the people to better the country.
Refer to a previous post featuring the Q & A of Tom Carter, the author of China: Portrait of a People and note his remarks on India.
