Design My Own Singlet

China's new confidence

was Now it's finally ready. China has its 60th Birthday celebrated - and in grand style. After the last few weeks was already largely shaped by the preparations for the festivities (for details see last entry) was there the night before or on 1 October itself almost impossible to escape this kind of mass spectacle. On almost all TV channels ran the ceremony, the city of Beijing was shut off, the public transport system der 15 Mio. Metropole lahm gelegt – als würde die Partei jedem suggerieren man brauche an diesem Tag ohnehin nicht das Haus zu verlassen, lieber solle man sich vor den Fernseher setzen und die Feierlichkeiten genießen.

Erwartungsgemäß präsentierte sich China an jenem ersten Oktober von seiner besten Seite. Unerwünschte Internetseiten wurden schon vor Monaten blockiert bzw deren Zensur verschärft (siehe vergangene Einträge) und während Peking in den Tagen vor dem Jubiläum noch in dicken Smog gehüllt war, präsentierte sich die Stadt am 1. Okotber bei wolkenlosem Kaiserwetter – das Wetterministerium hatte am Vorabend wieder einmal einige Sodium-Jodith rockets fired into the sky.

But before it ever came was still far from the media regarding proper voltage generated the jubilee celebrations. The evening before there was an extensive special report (several hours!) On the preparations in Tiananmen Square, etc. It was also shown on the news proudly on the front pages of foreign magazines that which the chines. Jubilee had the theme. Stolz interviews with tourists were traveling in China showed that corny anyway all just the same phrases: fascinating, stunning economic growth, wonderful countryside, interesting culture, etc - these are the things that The Chinese like to hear. What you do not like to hear again the countless problems of China, both the past and the present. Accordingly, issues such as the Tiananmen Square massacre or the Cultural Revolution during the celebrations (and otherwise) of absolute taboo.

began Finally, by 10 clock time, the ceremony, a parade kick-off here was the incredible two and a half hours long and consisted of two main parts. First, a Miltärparade and following a parade on the basis of presentation carts - as we have other events (eg Love Parade etc) know - the glorious history China's told. At the end there was still, for every chines. Province of a single car that put the specifics of each province in the forefront and operate the way a bit of tourism promotion should be. That Taiwan was to be found among those cars too, was in itself not a big surprise, however, Taiwan was the cars presented at the very last, obviously we wanted to avoid provocation. After the parade was the first part of the celebrations done it and the audience was allowed a break until the evening hours, because for 20 clock time was a two-hour ceremony provided with fireworks. This ceremony was the parade that morning to search for anything. Little wonder hatten doch die 200.000 (!) mitwirkenden Akteuere seit über einem Jahr auf diesen Tag hintrainiert. Des Weiteren war das Budget der gesamten Feierlichkeiten zehn mal so hoch datiert wie jenes für die Feierlichkeiten von Olympia 2008! Keine Frage, China griff für dieses Jubiläum sehr tief in die Tasche, waren doch die rein numerisch betrachtet viel bedeutenderen 50 Jahr-Feierlichkeiten anno 1999 nichts gegen jene von diesem Jahr.

China ist in den letzten Jahren extrem selbstbewusst geworden. Gründe dafür sind nicht nur der eigene wirtschaftliche Aufschwung, sondern auch die Vergabe von internationalen Veranstaltungen wie die EXPO oder Olympia an China – erst kürzlich is the idea for an application to host the Olympic Winter Games 2018 has been making. But the newly-won self-awareness also has its downsides. Nationalist feelings in China are getting louder - that from which there is too little in Austria, have been in China too much for patriotism. This is mainly due to the Communist Party, which should really be ashamed of their name, because apart from that in China, strictly speaking, is really nothing more communist. And how is it nunmal so if you present a program as a party in the form of ideology anymore, you have to resort to other means. In China, this is actually a "feel-good campaign" with a wort patriotism. Whether it's the thing I know What number state film produced on the achievements of the party, or one of the innumerable kitschy patriotic music videos during a major event - the product, China is always in the center and is perfectly marketed, and always just as the party just in time is: as a victim or a hero. China is the victim in these days many broadcast historical documentaries. After the foundation is already in the world community a victim, no one wants to recognize the new communist evil empire. End of the 80 years after the decision of the third generation in the party as a victim, the West sanctioned China with political and economic Embargo. FALSE. It is true that the West above mentioned sanctions against China has adopted, but not shown in China because of the change in leadership in the party, sondenr simple due to the fact was that China, in this case, not victims, but criminals in the course of Tiananmenmassakers 1989 what an arms embargo and a temporary diplomatic troubled relationship with the West had to follow.

a hero, then China is stylized, if you have developed in spite of the above-mentioned "injustice" of a global player. China is a hero, "freed from slavery" as Tibet. China's hero as it heaves the reform and opening campaign millions out of poverty to prosperity. China is a hero than the prime rate of its currency during the Asian crisis anno 1997 in contrast to most other East Asian countries, not lowering dadrch and prevented an even bigger fiasco. China's hero, as it gets after an unsuccessful attempt (of course due west intrigue) in the second attempt, anno 2001, finally, the commitment for the Olympic Games. Yes, even better, China is even held, when Hong Kong returned to the country's own administration appears! To get right to the point: China is simply the best country in the world and simply the center of East Asia. And everyone who some aspect it questions whether China has thus insulted and humiliated in its foundations. For deep-seated as mentioned above propaganda already in most people now a simple discussion shows a Durchschnitsschinesen. Here, one must not even controversial topics like Mao's misguided ideology politics operate, it takes just simple controversies such as: "as the party comes to so much tax money for this too pompous 60 years to use party" The answers range from "We must honor our country" to "Do you love your own country not?" to "traitor". This is precisely China's reasoning problem. Selbst kleinste Kritik an kleinsten Faktoren werden sofort auf das ganze Land umgelegt und als eine Beleidigung der Nation verstanden.

Anderes Beispiel gefällig? Vor wenigen Monaten hatte die berühmte chines. Schauspielerin Gong Li die singapurische Staatsbürgerschaft angenommen. Da in der VR China keine Doppelstaatsbürgerschaften möglich sind, wurde sie somit im Endeffekt reine singapurische Staatsbürgerin. Die Resonanz seitens der chines. Bevölkerung war enorm. Abgesehen von unzähligen öffentlichen Beschimpfungen (Vaterlandsverräterin etc) wurde u.a. zum Boykott ihrer Filme aufgerufen. Höhepunkt war ihr Ausschluss aus der China Film Association.

It is anything but a coincidence that the days of the new chines. Self-confidence again, the anti-Japanese sounds are louder. Thus, in August to mark the anniversary of Hiroshima started in a Chinese BBS Internet forum is a thread that had any comment on the content of photos now adult victims of Hiroshima. The answers went quickly into the hundreds (the thread is now one of the most widely read in the said forum). From compassion to Racheaufufen answers to everything here was found.

"Serves you right!"

"Haha, I can not stop laughing"

"That we should repeat"

"thread starters, are you Japanese or something?"

"100th State anniversary of the PRC, we will delete Japan off the map "

" The world would be better without the Koreans and Japanese, "

Similar responses were clearly in the majority. Sure. The Internet is a world of its own and absolutely not comparable to the facts or even the political stance of China. Although some comments due Anonymity on the Internet overstated / may be exaggerated, so they show which puts ideas in people. Also to be married in reality, the majority can not imagine the Chinese with a Japanese or Koreans.

exacerbated rather than counteract this development through education campaigns, the Communist Party of the conflict, however, more and more by their ideology no longer de facto existing Partiotismus by (the now degenerates into nationalism on the part of the population) replaced. But even after you put yet: even so when the 60 year anniversary, it is once again came to light frightening wie sehr man mittlerweile wieder versucht einen gewissen Personenkult in China zu etablieren. Abgesehen davon, dass Chinas derzeitiger Paramount Leader Hu Jintao ohnehin Thema Nummer eins in allen Nachrichtensendungen ist (der Satz „Heute hat Präsident Hu Jintao Land XY besucht“ gehört mittlerweile zum täglichen Repertoire einer jeden Newssendung), auch während der Jubiläumsfeierlichkeiten wird er als Vaterfigur inszeniert, Leute winken ihm föhlich zu, Kinder lächeln ihn an und halten seine Hände, Frauen tanzen mit ihm – und das ganze begleitet von heroischer Musik als er sich von seinem VIP Rang hinunter auf die Straße zum Fußvolk begibt. Aber nachstehende Aufnahmen stehen ja sowieso für sich (ebenso like the comments): http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTIyNTY4ODY0.html

What ridiculous in our eyes seems to be proud in China. In the following days to be exercised in all media in self-praise, not saved with Superaltiven. Even now, barely a week after the celebrations are still running all the repetitions of the celebration (after all, a total of almost 5 hours). No question, it was impressive but also frightening. Beeidruckend because it is simply incredible to view, and there is simply nothing like it in the West is the American Independence Day is - as you well in Austria as would say - a Lercherlschaß it. Scary because I can not explain to me why I regularly get goosebumps when looking at actually. Perhaps it is China's new Selbstewusstein that frightens me afraid. to speak

order in the name of the final song, with which the ceremonies were finished: Wo de jia zhu zai xin li - My home is in my heart. This rate stood at 1 October probably representing 1.3 billion people in the world. At least.
