I don’t know about you but I’m pretty tired of Beijing’s prediliction for throwing little hissy fits whenever anybody calls them out on their bullshit. President Bush recently voiced a respectfully muted opposition to the Communist government’s authoritarian practices, and what was the Communist response to the President’s politely-worded disapproval? “How dare you meddle in our internal affairs, foreign devils.”

What a crock of shit.

Guess what, jerks: you want to be a world power and roll with the big boys? You gotta be able to take criticism now and then without crying like a little girl about how everybody is all up in your face. This is not an incitement of counterrevolution in China, it’s our frank statement of opinion. We have aired a point of philosophical contention like grown-ups are supposed to. This sort of insecurity does not bode well for regional or global security, to say nothing of the overall well-being of your people. In short: Hey China, grow a fucking pair, will you? Thanks.
