I was somewhat surprised by the traces of favoritism by the Author towars Beijing. I actually just finished reading the authors first book "River Town" and in no way did he ever show any respect or admiration for the communists. In fact, during his 2 years of teaching through the peace corps in Fuling, he was often articulately critical with his students of the communist government.

Perhaps he has spent too much time there and it has in some way, warped his view of reality.

Nah, ya think?

Something damn sure has when he puts this happy face on barbaric genocide. Perhaps his next article can be on the great improvements in public housing by the Nazis in Warsaw.

This piece reeks; it belongs over at antiwar.com with the rest of the ChiCom apologetics.

That happens. I know two Americans who have lived in the Middle East for several years, and now they talk about the Zionist Plot To Rule The World and mad stuff like that. Propaganda works, eventually.
