Ough...that was hard!
It is not a problem - I magnanimously forgive these simple minded Chinese folk who resort to personal attacks.

Ough...that was hard!
The media article posted as the thread starter here is the most profound example of stupid gutter journalism that I have ever come across. As for the Indian and other posters insulting South Africa and belittling the PM of India, you are naive and ignorant about the geographics of both Durban and SA and of diplomatic arrangements when your PM visits other nations. Firstly, the fact that your PM and your delegation was given accomodation in Ballito and not in central Durban is an honor to him. Ballito is a beach town which is upmarket and has a greater security detail than downtown Durban or the traffic crazy neighboring Umhlanga. So much for the allegations of "inferior accomodation". Secondly, if your foreign affairs department did not take the trouble of arranging meetings with the host (which the Russians and the Chinese painstakingly did months before the conference) then why point fingers at South Africa?? If you South Asian countries run your governments like a spice bazaar then stop pointing fingers at other nations including South Africa when your schedule doesn't include a meeting with its President. Finally, go on insulting your PM or your governent or your country. Ridiculing President Zuma for your f'ups however just makes you a bunch of idiots on the international scale. I suggest that you keep your idiocracy to a domestic level to prevent making yourselves a bunch of international clowns
I agree. India is sold out to Italy, the white Beach is minting money. She does not have any national interests. India will be Kaput within five years, if she rules again.
China is ruled by Chinese, while India is ruled by Whites.
These stupid Indians did not find one ethnic Indian to rule India but white lady who has her allegiance to Vatican.
If a common person like me can react like this after this shocking treatment of Indian PM, why can not Sonia Maino?
I do not buy into this argument.
1. Indian PM is 80 years old. It is not good manner to make him travel for too long in a car.....upmarket be dammed.
2. Indian foreign affairs dept. has been conducting international diplomacy for 60+ years ...it is staffed by the brightest from India (from a pool of 1 billion people). It is impossible to assume they did not plan this meet. They are fare too mature to get angry if the meeting was unplanned and did not take place.
3. By the look of things, its the south african govt. that seems to run its govt. like a spice bazaar.
4. This was a very serious breach of etiquette by South Africa and will certainly had a negative effect in relationship between the two nations.
1. Well, if a 10 minute drive for your PM (literally a 10 minute drive with flashing blue Merc suvs clearing out the highways for him) is too much of a stress then perhaps you should consider mothballing the old man. The President of South Africa is 70 years old and he is known to be driven down from Jo'burg to Durban which is a 6 hour drive.
2. The South African foreign affairs department is the most efficient in Africa (yes literally). Their pool of staff has experience since 1910 so let's not go into experience. The local media here reported and it is accepted that your foreign affairs department and that of the Brazilians did not make any arrangements for private meeting between heads of states. The Russians and Chinese did. Perhaps your foreign affairs department believed that President Zuma would sip chai and talk to PM Singh at a bangra bash after the event ?
3. South Africa came off kudos on the preparation and hosting of the BRICS summit. If India got an axe to grind because of its inefficiency then they should look for reasons within and stop pointing fingers at South Africa
Not surprising India was treated like dirt. India is not a powerful country.
You gotta be kidding me. Have you watch the super power 2030 Indian movie? In the movie, there are bunch of white people working as servants to Indians. So Indians that regard themselves as superior to all others are understandably sensitive to any perceived slights as in this case.
Let's talk about your personality. May be a revelation for some.
Slightly more ambivalent, perhaps, is its fondness for one Goujian, a fifth-century BC king of the state of Yue. Having been captured by a rival ruler, the king of Wu, Goujian devoted himself to maintaining a duplicitous show of submissiveness: kowtowing before his conqueror, living amid piles of royal horse manure, even eating his captors excrement. Moved by Goujians capitulation, the king of Wu allowed him to return, a free man, to Yue. For the next twenty years, Goujian subjected himself to endless unpleasantnessesspending his winters standing in cold water, hugging hot braziers in deep summerin order to keep alive the memory of his humiliating discomforts in Wu and to feed his desire for revenge. He is renowned for sleeping on a bed of brushwood over which was suspended a bile-filled gallbladder which he would lick whenever he was in danger of forgetting his past bitterness. For some twenty years, he schemed and plotted until, finally, he succeeded in destroying Wu. The story of Goujianmuch repeated through Chinese history but commemorated with particular intensity during the twentieth centuryseems to highlight a Chinese interest in heroic attributes that are less than wholly wholesome: that are obsessed with humiliation, self-loathing, and vengefulness. [1]
This preoccupation with humiliation, William Callahan argues in his excellent book China: The Pessoptimist Nation, is a key part of the story of modern China. Since Chinas modern nationalists began earnestly trying to manufacture a strong, cohesive nation out of a messy, failing empire, they have relied heavily on the discourse of national humiliation: on regularly reminding the Chinese people of their modern history of defeats at the hands of the imperialist powers (Britain, France, the U.S.A., Japan), to spur them to better things. On the one hand, Chinas modern elites have believed confidently in Chinas right to regain its traditional place in the sun; on the other, this quest to forge a vigorous nation-state has betrayed a powerfully self-critical strain in the modern Chinese psychewhat Geremie Barmé has termed the pull between self-hate and self-approbation. Thanks to the highly successful patriotic education campaign introduced by the Communist state after 1989which has dwelled on Chinas century of humiliation inflicted by foreign imperialism, from the Opium War to the Second World Warthe Chinese humiliation complex shows little sign of abating.

This tells you about the Chin psychology.
Its only for trolls like this. Not for normal Chinese against whom I have nothing.
Not surprising India was treated like dirt. India is not a powerful country.
Looks like the troll needs the doze again.
Seems you like being treated like shyt.
Seems like you enjoy attacking others personally when they present facts. If you don't have facts, than you shouldn't post anything.
There is nothing personal here.
It is about the "Chin personality".
That book mentions only the reality of your society and your "interest in heroic attributes that are less than wholly wholesome: that are obsessed with humiliation, self-loathing, and vengefulness".
The preoccupation with humiliation!
India was enslaved and massacres by Timur and other central asian conquerors for 800 years. Today's Indians are offspring of conqueror men and Hindu slave women. They feel inferior racially.
^ Interestingly enough Hongwu's original capital was that of Nanjing, the birthplace of the modern Chinis during the raid of your paternal Japanese side.
