Hollywood film-maker Steven Spielberg has been ridiculed in the Chinese media and on the Internet for living in a "sci-fi" dreamworld over his decision to sever ties with the Beijing Olympics.
Spielberg said last week that his conscience would no longer allow him to work on the Olympics as an artistic consultant while Sudan's China-backed government carried out genocide in its western Darfur province.
Spielberg's films have been box office hits in China but the producer has come under regular attack after his withdrawal from the Beijing Games.
"This person is completely living in his sci-fi world and cannot distinguish dream from reality," said a commentator in the China Youth Daily.
They targeted Spielberg "as a person who failed to keep his word" and for linking politics to the Beijing Olympics.
One posting said: "The US slaughters civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq. Director Spielberg, don't you feel ashamed being an American?
"You don't criticise your own country, then how can you criticise China?"

I wish Spielberg would protest every country that backs tyrannical dictatorships. Oh wait, but then he'd have to protest the U.S.

being a college student, there's nothing more I hate these days then hearing people shill about how they supposedly care for Darfur. Especially considering we vetoed a motion in the UN Security council years ago to send peacekeeper troops because it didn't suit our interests.

China is coming out of a centuries-long period of isolationism, they still have to learn about the sleazyness of the jewish race. Consider this Lesson 1, China.

Taking posts from a Chinese message board and putting it in a news article? What is next, using posts in /n/ in a NY Times article?

I'm no great fan of China but they are right. He doesn't criticize the US, a country which has committed crimes as bad if not worse than anything the Chinese have done. He really should look closer to home if he wants to make an issue out of something.

Forcing families to pay for the bullet that killed their loved ones by the death penalty?

>>706636 I think it is an as good reason as any other to start a war, for the sake of an interest.
Simply, the interest for the American people is less obvious and it does exists.
And at this political level, just screw moral.

>>706632 >BUT, the Chinese are a developing country. Who gives a shit? Personally, I think China should have been colonised, I mean look at HK. That's what China's east coast would have looked like if it hadn't been for the commiefaggots. Also, China isn't getting freer - it's staying the same in that respect. RSF puts it second in the world for least free after NK.

Blame Nixon for all this shit. Recognising Peking was a fucking mistake. Is he still alive so we can put him on trial for betraying us to the Reds.

>>706590 I suspect it's a more a question of political position, If Spielberg criticizes the U.S at home it's "Oh? no more Indian Jones 4?" and then forgotten.
Spielberg pulling out of the Olympics is memorable way to draw attention to an international disgrace even if the Chinese Government tries to white wash it.

>>706668 True, Chinese are an intelligent race, but their failculture leads them to generally fail at government. HK, Macao, Singapore as well as all the Southeast Asian tycoons are evidence that Chinese can succeed, but only when unplugged from their Borgmind.

>>707273 That's what I'm saying. You can't criticize the soldiers for killing when you live in a democratic country that has agreed to order them to kill. I can respect people who do everything in their power to end that order to kill, but part of being a citizen in a republic means submitting to the overall will of the governed; regardless of if you agree with that. Renounce your citizenship and fight the government if you feel a moral obligation to do so and I might even support you, but don't give me nonsense about "SOLDIARS = MURDERERSRSRS". No shit; that's what we the people told them to do.

Perhaps the higher level government members who made decisions pertaining to the holocaust; I can see the logic behind that. But the soldiers? It was pathetic vigilante justice, result of man looking around at a ruined world thinking "a few more dead will fix all of this!".

>>707280 ... what I meant to say was that teh USA hung Nazis when they where just "following orders".
War should be banned, what I say we do is give every country 1 nuclear weapon, once they use it BAM no more trying again.

>>707448 Shut up. What I'm saying is that typically if one finds a source so morally reprehensible that you cannot work for them; then there should be little question that making a profit off of them is also out of the question. Spielberg, as a duplicitous propagandist, can be seen for the liar he is based on the fact that he is keeping every penny he has made from China while publicly denouncing them.

>>707473 What you're saying is stupid. It could be that he wants to protest them in an attempt to adversly affect something important to them (the Olympics). Giving back (? - to whom is he to give this money?) the money from lightsabers won't have any affect on China. It would just be an ineffectual gesture
