Well-known forensic scientist Henry Lee
wrote to CNN and announced that he will not appear on CNN until CNN apologizes for Cafferty's anti-China remarks,
reported by Taiwan's United Daily News.
The English media have a nearly complete blackout on the protests by Chinese Americans in the past few weeks. There is also no mention of such boycotts by leading Chinese Americans. I have heard many here lecture me on how Chinese media is censored. But when I go to China, at least I can get any western reports I want to from the internet - it's trivial to use one of the proxy servers to do that. But unless you read Chinese, there is almost no way for anyone in the US to know about the protests by Chinese Americans that have happened in LA, SF, Chicago, Atlanta in the past few weeks, and are going to happen in NYC and other cities next week and in the future. This has been a real mockery of the freedom of press and democracy.
The liberal blogs, including dkos, have so far played a rather shameful role in all this. There is no indication that this is going to change in the near future. The fracture between the Chinese American community and the liberal movement is happening right in front of our eyes. Most of people here don't seem to care.
Don't tell me that Dr. Henry Lee is a communist plant. Don't tell me that Dr. Henry Lee has been brainwashed by the Chinese government. Don't tell me that Dr. Henry Lee doesn't understand democracy. There are many other leading Chinese Americans who are standing up to oppose this anti-China hysteria. Anyone still believes that all of them were brainwashed by the Chinese government is out of touch with reality.
