Do you enjoy being sarcastic in every post of yours?
Why do you think that he is being sarcastic?
I reckon he is not even Chinese, and just pretend to be one.

Perhaps that is becuase the CCP controls the media in China? The only way Chinese intellectuals can speak out is through the foreign press. Even then if they still live in China, they risk being sent to a re-education camp.
Chinese-Dragon, from personal point of view, I don't think so. Most chinese poeple i met in real life (mainly chinese students in singapore) are proud of their nation but are not arrogant or overly nationalistic. They know how to respect others and other nations.
Its only few pricks online who bring about a negative image. they belittle others or make a lot of false or arrogant claims. but that happens with people of all nationality. there is no shortage of hate-spewing fanboys of any nationality, especially in defence forums. lets not judge any nation based on those low-life retards.

I like it! Deng Xiaoping is pretty bad *** lol..

I don't think you understood what he meant. We were discussing China's international profile, not its internal dissent. And I hardly think Chinese intellectuals are sending messages to the foreign press about China's 'strengthening grip over Africa' or 'potential superpowerdom'.
It's funny you wrote 'the only way Chinese intellectuals can speak out is through the foreign press' in a thread discussing a report on some Chinese scholars taking a contrarian view and having it published on a prominent state-owned newspaper.

Perhaps you could link the state owned newspaper? I have searched and can not find it, the thread article is BBC.
China's confidence in its economic development is turning into "national arrogance", according to a group of Chinese scholars.
In a set of articles published in a state newspaper, they said that China might have lost its traditional virtue of being modest and become intolerant.
And they questioned whether the world was misreading China or whether China itself was to blame.
The cause lay in a refusal to accept some universal values, they said.

Have you read the title article from BBC?
BBC News - China scholars warn of growing national arrogance
You are right, I read it but for some reason it didn't stick out to me. Not above saying I was wrong on my take on it.
When i saw his post on India,i thought he was mocking us by being sarcastic.
Judging his statements on China we have a masquerader here.
Anyway,won't be long before the mods find his IP and kick him out.
So carry on

Judging my own countrymen,who become fluttering Helium balloons on the net on small success we achieve ,China having its share of such people is no surprise.
