The Semi-Attacked Politicians' Club 3:58pm on 04 Feb 2009 James,

I live in UK.

Did you watch BBC TV programme of Wen's visit to the Chinese Embassy in London?

It is a totally biased report as it just showed the 'Free Tibet' people and police. It gave public a twisted story.

Actually there were many more pro-china people there welcoming Wen's arrival.

Why BBC's video camera missed the main stream China supporters at that moment?
Chinese applaud Taiwan 'warlord' 02:03am on 21 Aug 2008 To maloneranger at entry 15,

You show being uncomfortable hearing the pro-PRC people's voices on Taiwan. We should let people to speak, what ever the points, but unacceptable not allow others voices to be aired. I cannot see your points, but denying people to speak.

Will England allow Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland go if people in each area want independence? Will the current parliament in London get involved to these independence?

Don't forget that it was the worships of Britain made Britain colonised Hongkong for a century. Some companies which earned their initial capital by slave trading still alive.

No BBC report lets you know the fact that Taiwan, called republic of china officially, considers mainland China as part of itself in constitution.
Events foretold 2:36pm on 07 Aug 2008 James,

You need report mainly the voices of local residents, not yours.

Your articles in English are for non-Chinese readers, who prefer to hear voices of local citizens, not yours.

There is no doubt you are able to make comments on everything, but readers outside China want to know the responses of local people.
Unblocking websites 11:41pm on 31 Jul 2008 James,

I live in UK, but I do not have access to Al Qaeda website because it is blocked by British government. Why do not you write this fact in an article?

Here is another an example of web control in England.

Birmingham City Council has installed software preventing employees from browsing atheist websites, but allows them to look on conventional religions.

James, bear your mind, China is not a colony of Britain. Do not add new troubles between the two peoples.
Limited access 12:35pm on 31 Jul 2008 James,

Does UK have website control? Here is an example in England.

Birmingham City Council has installed software preventing employees from browsing atheist websites, but allows them to look on conventional religions.
The benevolent emperor 11:26pm on 29 Jul 2008 James,

From the reality of China, the current system in China is the most suitable to the current China. That is why people do not blame the top leaders for the faults of the lower level servants.

While westerners expect the system to change now because it is different from their system and also because westerners know little about the reality of China.

Human beings need respect the diversity of systems running in the current world. The UK and US systems are not identical. China is changing rapidly. Along with other development, the system is being adapted in China's pace and direction for the demands of her citizens.
Queuing Day 10:59am on 11 Jul 2008 James,

I like this article. It is a good example to let readers know what China like. If you interview more local people there and let us know the responses of Chinese citizens on all your topics, your articles will be realistic. It is boring to read a media article including no local voices.

Enjoy your stay in China until you feel China and UK are equal.
Testing pollution levels 5:07pm on 09 Jul 2008 Located inside northern Asia continent, Beijing is at larger risk of dust storm than cities by sea or those inside of European continent, which is rich of rainfall.

The area of green land and number of trees in Beijing have been increased significantly in recent years; the vehicle quality is much better than before.

James, it should be a professional to measure the air quality, not you, because you are unable to tell the detail portions of the 'pollutants'. They could be mainly dusts from west wind, not from traffic or industry.

Also you took reading by a construction site, there is no surprise for a poor reading.
Testing pollution levels 12:48pm on 08 Jul 2008 James,

In this morning's BBC TV News on Beijing's air, you took reading by a building under construction in Beijing; no doubt you got a poor reading.

At 5pm last Wednesday, I was walking in Cardiff city centre, Bridge Street, where a new build was under construction, which produces too heavy dust in the air that people had to put a hand over their noses.

There are blue sky days, as shown in your left picture, and bad days, the other. I think with the effort of Chinese, Beijing's sky will be better and better. But we should be realistic, do not expect it be as good as in cities by sea.
Tibet video diary 1:37pm on 23 Jun 2008 James,

In your articles of Olympic torch relay, the police or army are often highlighted. This is because you and other western journalists went to China with an idea already there against China. You want leave an image to readers that police or army there would suppress innocent people.

There are street police forces with weapons in London, New York, Paris … at every moment. The presence of police is normal and their duty is same everywhere.

DO NOT LOSE YOUR PROFESSIONAL BASIS; DO NOT MAKE BIASSED REPORTS TO FOOL READERS.
