Resist the era of globalization practice.

<P> 5 月 1 日 11 am, a group of protesters gathered in front of Ningbo, a Carrefour supermarket, holding a "Support the Olympics! Against France!" Sign. .Embattled police to allow them to half an hour shouting slogans, and then drove them off square, and asked some of them to the cafe to sit down. .QQ group of protesters in Ningbo, the one protester said: "Police have foot the bill, then we quite an enjoyable conversation." For those who worry about violence, this seems to be a very harmonious result. .Although the anti-French sentiment seems to calm down, but the deeper questions surrounding the boycott was not eliminated. .One of the most interesting question is: in the rapidly globalizing world, as a Chinese patriot mean? .The answer of course, the decision by the Chinese themselves. .However, in an increasingly interdependent world, we need to pay attention to how other people understand our patriotism; I hope my readers will be interested in a foreigner's point of view. .Anyway, I just wanted to provide some ideas to answer this question, rather than provide a specific answer. .In mid-April, a Chinese Canadians return to the country registered the domain name of the site. .Web site explains: "to CBC in Canada, represented by the mainstream media and public opinion took the opportunity to pass the torch to our beloved motherland, the People's Republic, the shameless graffiti and slander. As the descendants, we must no longer tolerate. .We hereby solemnly proclaimed 'Action Committee return to the motherland', and called us together, collectively give up Canadian citizenship or permanent residency, naturalization oath solemnly back to our, to show cast aside by the Government of Canada and the most strongly protest! "the site .and then how to give up Canadian citizenship to the specific instructions. .Bring your family back to China, which of course is the more extreme manifestations of patriotism. .In fact, no one can guarantee what this website is not serious. .But the topic of the site's sharp - "do not give up Canadian citizenship means that you are descendants of the Chinese nation's lack of filial piety" - the phrase point have to face the dilemma of migration: the case of conflict, where you really loyal .side? .Of course, as the boycott of Carrefour and French products appeal shows, the Chinese have never left the country face different forms of the same problem, so you simply become a test of loyalty to your consumer orientation. .Earlier in April, the former ambassador to France, Wu Jianmin, president of China Foreign Affairs University asked about the boycott in the opinion, said that "some claim to be 'patriotic' actions undermined those (Carrefour) employee benefits .undermined China's own interests, but also damaging to the country's image. ... Patriotic be associated with the country's core interests. undermine the reform and opening act, can not be considered patriotic. "</ P> <P> At the same time, .who called for a boycott does not allow objections. .According to a report of the South reported on April 18, 4 Ming Kunming Carrefour boycott action against users launched to "create harmony, against the resistance" and other slogans in the propaganda front of Carrefour, and being "traitors." .Jin Jing is an example, after she expressed opposition to boycott Carrefour, at least for some Chinese, she was a hero in one night from patriotism into a "traitor." .For a spectator, the above statement sounds like a primary battle between the mouth: "I am more patriotic than you!" "No, I am more patriotic! You are a traitor!" Both sides of the "Patriot" This .a concept of what they need, it has been difficult to understand what it means. .Let us return to the statement, Ambassador Wu "patriotic to the core of national stakeholders with" it. .Then the "core national interests" what is it? .Wusuo Jiang stressed that the "reform and opening up." .Even if we have recognized this, we must also realize that in 30 years of reform and opening up process, on the "reform and opening" debate the meaning and the speed never ending break. .We may recall, Zhu Rongji, China's accession to WTO was considered in the negotiations conceded too much, and been approved as a "traitor." .Most critics do not want to return to Mao-style self-sufficiency in China, Zhu Rongji, they just accepted the conditions for the accession to the WTO discontent. .It would appear that the "Patriot" seems to refer to those issues of national interests of people with your same view. .If some people do not agree with you, you can be accused them of being unpatriotic or even traitors. .Americans play this game, "patriotism" in this year's presidential election will become a major issue. .The difference is that the Chinese "patriots" and "traitor," the use of the frequency and method. .I guess, if a party arguing that they start using the other party will feel the need to do the same. .Perhaps you have heard enough, these words will lose their power. .</ P>.
