Cafferty's Insulting Remarks against China

Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Jiang Yu's Remarks on CNN Commentator Cafferty's Insulting Remarks against China

Q: In covering the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay in San Francisco recently, CNN's commentator Jack Cafferty attacked China, saying that Imported Chinese products are "junk", Chinese people are "basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years." How do you comment on that?

A: We are shocked to hear the malicious attacks of CNN commentator Cafferty against the Chinese people and express our strong condemnation. Taking the advantage of the microphone in his hand, Cafferty vilified China and the Chinese people, seriously violated the ethics of journalism and human conscience. His arrogance, ignorance and hatred to the Chinese people have aroused indignation of the Chinese people at home and abroad, and will definitely be denounced by righteous people all over the world. We solemnly request CNN and Cafferty to take back the malicious remarks and apologize to all the Chinese people.

Jack Cafferty

"Well, I don't know if China is any different, but our relationship with China is certainly different.

We're in hock to the Chinese up to our eyeballs because of the war in Iraq, for one thing. They're holding hundreds of billions of dollars worth of our paper.

We also are running hundred of billions of dollars worth of trade deficits with them, as we continue to import their junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food and export, you know, jobs to places where you can pay workers a dollar a month to turn out the stuff that we're buying from Wal-Mart.

So I think our relationship with China has certainly changed. I think they're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years".

工人

我是一個工人。

「那你是什麼工人呢？」有人問。

我真的不知道。我有時會在地盤做泥水、有時會到已入伙的單位做泥水、有時會在馬路復修工程中做泥水。沒有泥水工時，我就在不同的地方做散工，如運輸公司的搬運、廣告工程的技工等。

孩子問我是什麼工人時，我真的不會答。其中一個我會回答的問題就是：「你乜都識做，咁你咪好叻囉？」我笑對他，那傻孩都都總嚷：「爸爸好叻呀！」

我根本不叻。只是一個泥水工，沒有穩定的收、沒有機構福利、沒有整齊的上班服。其他人都是換上班的衣服上班，我們就只能在上班前一刻才會換工衣；下班亦必需更衣才能乘公車。我們沒有什麼長短周、五日工。


某一天的星期六，孩子說要看我工作。我不想知道我賺錢是如何辛苦、工作環境是如何的差。經常說爸爸很叻，但原來只是穿破衣在滿是灰塵的街路上推平石屎。每次一想起來，都總會鬧他：「星期六好好讀書，不准外出。」

我沒出色，不緊要。我父親這樣對我說：「仔，做人最緊要有責任心，咁先可以做好人。」我生了這個孩子，雖不能讓他富貴榮華，但三餐溫飽的責任，一直都在我的背上沒有放下來。物價升了，煙抽少了；原本每月的500元賭馬本，亦減至300元。



突然一天，我想給孩子看看我真正的一面。

協同效應

一加一唔係等如二。

兩個角色有部分職責相同，咁就會出現資源重疊，結果會少過二。

兩個角色的合作，會增加溝通同互動上的成本，結果又會少過二。

兩個角色不同之處配合，令結果接近二。

兩個角色之不同而產生協同效應，就會令結果有機會大於二。

唔識

通常你面對你唔識o野事情係點樣面對?

1) 自己學識
2) 問人然後學識
3) 叫人幫你手
4) 求其
5) 逃避，唔理

選擇1的人，通常係孤獨的人
選擇2的人，略帶少少孤獨，但都係比較外向。不過又通常都唔認衰。
選擇3的人，無得唔認衰，但至緊要攪掂。
選擇4的人，唔想認衰，而且又唔想煩。
選擇5的人，寧願衰都唔想煩。
