Quoted By:
The rest of the state-run media avoided any mention of Mr Spielberg’s announcement that his conscience required him to quit because China was doing too little to help to halt bloodshed in the Darfur region of Sudan.
The Global Times, a popular current affairs tabloid run by the Communist Party’s People’s Daily, hit back at Mr Spielberg. “Western exploitation of the Olympics to pressure China immediately provoked much disgust among ordinary Chinese people.” Using the sweeping statements on public opinion that are favoured by the state-run media, it said: “The vast majority of Chinese people have expressed bafflement and outrage at the Western pressure. In their view, it’s absolutely absurd to place the Darfur issue, so many thousands of miles away, on the head of China.”
