This is a blog entry from a Chinese American:
http://oofboofsay.blogspot.com/2008/04/what-do-you-want-from-us.html
It well reflects the frustration and anger felt by most
Chinese people. That China has managed to elevate millions of
people out of abject poverty apparently hardened US' resolve to
contain and strangle us. Judging by the way things go, they will
corner us until we have no breathing space. I suspect
something ominous will happen when that time comes.
America must re-view its foreign policy with regards to
China. AFter all, as this poem says, "This Big Blue
Earth is Big Enough for all of Us." Why be so hostile and want so
much to eradicate us?

What Do You Want From Us?
a poem by a Silent, Silent Chinese
When We were called Sick man of Asia, We were called
The Peril.
When We are billed to be the next Superpower, We are
called The
threat.
When We were closed our doors, You smuggled Drugs to
Open Markets.
When We Embrace Freed Trade, You blame us for Taking
away your jobs.
When We were falling apart, You marched in your troops
and wanted your
"fair share".
When We were putting the broken peices together again,
"Free Tibet"
you screamed, "it was an invasion!"
( When Woodrow Wilson Couldn't give back Birth Place of
Confucius back
to Us,
But He did bought a ticket for the Famine Relief Ball
for us.)
So, We Tried Communism, You hated us for being
Communists
When We embrace Capitalism, You hate us for being
Capitalist.
When We have a Billion People, you said we were
destroying the planet.
When We are tried limited our numbers, you said It was
human rights
abuse.
When We were Poor, You think we are dogs.
When We Loan you cash, You blame us for your debts.
When We build our industries, You called us
Polluters.
When we sell you goods, You blame us for global
warming.
When We buy oil, You called that exploitation and
Genocide.
When You fight for oil, You called that Liberation.
When We were lost in Chaos and rampage, You wanted
Rules of Law for
us.
When We uphold law and order against Violence, You
called that
Violating Human Rights.
When We were silent, You said you want us to have Free
Speech.
When We were silent no more, You say we were
Brainwashed-Xenophobics.
Why do you hate us so much? We asked.
"No," You Answered, "We don't hate You."
We don't Hate You either,
But Do you understand us?
"Of course We do," You said,
"We have AFP, CNN and BBCs..."
What do you really want from us?
Think Hard first, then Answer...
Because you only get so many chances,
Enough is Enough, Enough Hypocrisy for this one
world.
We want One World, One Dream, And Peace On Earth.
- This Big Blue Earth is Big Enough for all of Us.
