China’s Hypersensitivity To The Truth

China wanted the Olympics. But they don’t want the world to focus on anything about China other than the fact that they are hosting the Olympics. Under withering criticism from the world over its policies, China is slapping back and whining like a good little bunch of liberals:

BEIJING — Bristling at criticism in the run-up to the Summer Olympics, China is lashing back at its foreign critics _ by name.

Earlier this week, the state Xinhua news agency called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “disgusting.” And on Tuesday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu lambasted a CNN commentator, Jack Cafferty, for his “vicious” commentary on China.

“We solemnly request that CNN, and Cafferty himself, take back the malicious remarks and apologize to the Chinese people,” Jiang said at a news briefing.

Protests plaguing a global Olympic torch relay, along with mounting criticism of China’s handling of domestic unrest by Tibetans, have embittered many Chinese. As foreign leaders discuss whether to boycott Olympic opening ceremonies Aug. 8, Chinese internet sites are replete with their own mounting calls for boycotts — of foreign goods.

Hey, you either want to stand on the world stage or you don’t. There isn’t a third choice to stand up there and not be seen.

Would you guys like a little cheese with your whine?
