Monochrome thinking

Justin Webb | 04:17 UK time, Thursday, 14 August 2008

We murdered him! So says that man who shouts a lot on MSNBC about which I include out of deference to those who found by Olympic thoughts a tad unrealistic (they are not, but sure, there are exceptions to the rule, and terrible ones at that: no point in denying it).

On the other hand just read some of these comments from educated Chinese people in response to my colleague James Reynolds' perfectly reasonable observations on aspects of Chinese sport (they must be educated because they are responding in English) and you get a picture of the isolation and ignorance and monochrome thinking that these semi-closed societies engender. Modern economies require flexibility and free-thinking; I do not see it in many of James' blog responses.
