… for all those budding propagandists out there. Click here to apply for a spot on the hallowed polishing turf of Xinhua News Agency and here for some (limp) reasons why it might tickle your fancy. I’m travelling outside Beijing for a week so this blog will be silent for a similar amount of time. I’ve been struggling to find the time to post regularly in recent weeks but I fully intend to get back into it when I return.
I’ll just leave you a paragraph from a Washington Post article regarding the proposed talks between China and the Dalai Lama. It came from a Chinese online forum:
“This shows the government is soft,” one person wrote. “It sends a very clear signal to the outside world that if you have power overseas, then you can come to China to mastermind a riot.”
It’ll be interesting to see if this opinion becomes more popular when a date for the resumption of negotiations is set.
