Oh. One more link about Chinese used to see lying from their boss - CCP. ++++English translations from another blogger++++++++ zonaeuropa.com +++++Original Chinese only blog and commnets.++++++ spaces.msn.com!F8FA20D1FF54DA4E!704.entry ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mumblings Of A Drunkard (03/07/2006) This is the translation of a short post by the blogger "Mumblings of a Drunkard" ????. The hosting service is MSN Spaces. Please note that a Chinese BSP might have decided to delete this post. As background, the blogger is a reporter in Guangdong province, whose leader Zhang Dejiang is under attack (see The Case of Zhang Dejiang). +++++++Translation of original blog+++++++++ [in translation] According to rumors, certain overseas media want to denigrate our province. So I was called to attend an early morning meeting and asked to file reports during the Fifteenth National People's Congress about our accomplishments here. I was asked to use certain designated materials, and the emphasis will be about the accomplishments during the current provincial party committee. To make it clear, this is about writing some paean-like essays for Colleague Zhang. Come to think of it, this is kinda funny. If the work has been good all along, why would there be any fear of deprecation by others? We have been denigrating the American imperialists for fifty years (and now Comrade Little Kim has taken over the job), it did not appear that the Americans are any worse; if anything, they are thriving. I am not sure that I concur with Colleague Kaizi's (note: a member of Guangdong Political Consultative Committee) high praises of Colleague Zhang. When the people below want to say things to please the superiors, the moral models above should stop them; but if they not only failed to stop them but in fact ordered or hinted at their subordinates to do just that, then this is unbecoming. If you happen to find that the subjects within our provincial news websites to be nearly universally high praises, please do not be surprised. This is only too normal. To tell a joke: why not just give the editorial power to the senior masters themselves: they can put in whatever they want, and people below don't have to work overtime? ++++++++++Comments from others+++++++++ Translated comments: "I never read that stuff"; "In this world, it is not always up to you"; "Forget it, we're used to it! Besides, we're not the ones who are worried"; "This is normal and we'll just laugh about it! But, is this really normal?"; "As for the senior masters, nothing more needs to be said except for one thing: 'no class' ('?')." ++++++++++Tranlator's comment+++++++++ By itself, this blog post is no different from any number of online diary entries from bloggers complaining about their job, except this person happens to be a reporter. Thirty years ago, such a comment might be considered a crime (economic sabotage, leaking state secrets, etc). Today, it'll draw a yawn. Maybe the blog post itself won't change the world in one day, but this is about the collective corrosiveness of the thousands of similar blog posts and comments over the long-term stripping away the legitimacy of the propaganda/publicity machinery.
