The maker of the Oba Mao t-shirts has been muzzled by the Chinese for fear of embarassing Obama during his recent visit to China.
Apparently, the extreme right and the extreme left in this country have much in common with the Chinese government. And, similar to this country, most people don’t care:
But while Liu’s and Qi’s lives have been temporarily derailed by the president’s visit, the general public in China hasn’t showed too much fervor over it.
A survey by China’s leading Web portal Sohu.com and the English newspaper China Daily asked, “What’s your viewpoint on Obama’s visit to China?” Almost 40 percent of respondents said “I don’t care” or “I have no expectations.”
When asked “On what issues do you think China and America will reach more agreements after Obama’s trip?” 56 percent answered, “I don’t think the two countries will reach any more agreements.”
And when our NBC News team went to Wangfujing, one of Beijing’s most popular shopping areas, to speak with people about Obama’s visit, more than half of the people we approached were unaware he was coming.
The comments I see on there show the typical left/right attitudes in this country are just as collectivist as any rascist/chauvinist/nazi/communist ever was:
ok, way to use this as a way for you to bash China!!! It’s obvious that the Chinese are trying to prevent something that the Chinese find “cool” (combining Obama with Mao) from being used by right wing Anti-Obama people in the US to call him a “communist”…but of course, a gesture of good hospitality and going all the way to help one’s honored guest is simply “another sign of Chinese repression” to you people. It just goes to show how stupid you at MSNBC are about China.
Thats where we are heading w/that Great Socialist Oba Mao . He’s here to ruin are country that are father’s so bravely fought for . To keep people like Chairman Mao from taking us over . GOD HELP US !
It’s amazing to me that these two small groups of extremists can have such a large influence in our country when their spelling and grammar – let alone their lack of original thought – clearly show a complete lack of reasoning skills.
