RED HEART ACTION

[shan]

Yesterday 3 million Chinese netizens added "China" and "red heart" on their MSN to call for boycotting

Carrefour

the management of carrefour said Chinese are cheap , as long as they give us 10% discount  in May holiday ,

there will be a big shopping rush .

Ok. let's see what will happen

let's flight shoulder by shoulder and kick Carrefour out of China

We would rather die than be humilated

 

We are in action

[The Smoking Man]

I'm in as long as you can find another bakery in Beijing that makes French bread that tastes like French bread.

Unlike the Chinese protesters who will shoot themselves in their own foot or the Tibetan protesters who end up digging their own graves, I tend to like being able to buy food that I like.

Maybe you should also take a look at how many hundreds of Chinese work at Carrefore and how many Chinese products are sold at Carrefore.

Just who are you going to hurt?

They were a success when they entered China.

People not buying all the French products like Louis Vitton Bags and L'Oreal, etc... Well who are you trying to hurt???

These companies will love you for putting all the Chinese who manufacture fakes out of business because THEY are the ones in China making the most money out of their names.

Really, you need a way of threatening these people with something substantial rather than just putting the illegal copy manufacturers out of business.

That would be like the Chinese threatening Sony Pictures by boycotting their DVDs. Do you know ANYONE who actually owns a legal Sony DVD in China?

Nope.

So ... until you figure out the solution to Intellectual Property Rights scam in China and the fact that Carrefore sells Chinese made goods and employs Chinese People, the country you will hurt the most is China. The ones you will hurt the LEAST is France.

Ask the Americans how well their French Boycott worked.

Maybe you can change the name of Faguo Fries to Qinghai Fries???

A Chinese netizen in France said:

let's not  discuss if we should boycott carrefour first
 
I only want to tell you , when the Olympic touch passed through Paris  , the scene was exactly like the  newspapers described , it's a huge  insult to our country , but the French media leans to one side and twists the truth , and it makes us fill with righteous indignation.
 
Luckily we initiate the boycott movement , as present, many large French media start to appeal the French people to calm down and not to offend the country that let  France earn 3,000,000,000 euro annually . I thought that's the result we anticipated

I see Chinese netizens in France make as much sense as they do here.

Care to explain what she said and where she got her numbers?

Planes, trains and automobiles (well actually telecommunications but that doesn't have the same ring to it  ) orders totaling 4 billion secured last October. Then again France has invested 8 billion euro in China and imports about 2 billion euro a year from China for clothes alone so a pissing contest is not in either of their interests.

It was also a French/Canadian group that installed the communication backbone taht allows this little girl to whine internationally.

MSN China urges users to 'love' Beijing Olympics
AFP - Thursday, April 17 05:06 pm

BEIJING (AFP) - MSN China has invited users of its messaging service to put a red love heart followed by 'China' in front of their names to support the Olympic Games, in the latest outburst of nationalism here.

On its front page, the Microsoft-owned website calls on "Chinese people worldwide to use the red heart to express their love for China and to support Beijing's Olympic Games."

The red hearts started to appear on MSN's messenger service on Wednesday and more than two million people had decided to use the heart by that afternoon, the website said.

Nationalist feelings are running high in China partly in reaction to Western media coverage of the Tibetan crisis and to protests which have overshadowed the Olympic torch relay.

Foreign media outlets have been accused of misreporting the Chinese crackdown on Tibetan riots, which began on March 14 after days of peaceful protests.

The wave of anger and patriotism generated by CNN's recent offensive coverage of China has produced a smash hit song and stirred millions of Internet users into an online show of solidarity.

Don't Be Too CNN, a track that lampoons the network for its coverage and analysis of the Tibetan riots, is written and performed by an online singer who calls herself "Murong Xuan".

It is backed by a music video contrasting CNN footage and what is really taking place in Tibet, and the lyrics attack distorted and biased coverage of the recent riots in Lhasa.

"Why do you rack your brains in trying to turn black into white? Don't be too CNN," Murong croons.

"CNN solemnly swears that everything on it is the truth, but I've gradually discovered this is actually a deception."

As the song continues, images of burnt-out shops and smoke rising over Lhasa flash across the screen repeatedly.

"Don't think that repeating something over and over again (means that) lies become truth," the lyrics run.

The song had been played 160,000 times by 7 pm yesterday on video.sina.com.cn. Other portal websites have also used it.

One netizen left a message on the website requesting Murong to sing the song in English for "all peace-lovers around the world".

Hu Linlin from Ningbo, Zhejiang province, suggested it would be a good idea to promote the track through karaoke, arguably China's most popular form of entertainment.

"This will be the best way to make the song a real hit, " she said.

But K-TV heavyweights Partyworld and Melody said they didn't have any plans yet to promote the smash hit.

CNN's credibility has taken a dive in China ever since the network cropped photos of a mob attacking military vehicles from a photograph in order to portray an overbearing military presence in Lhasa.

The network again outraged the Chinese people when commentator Jack Cafferty called the Chinese "goons and thugs" and Chinese products "junk".

Meanwhile, millions of Chinese netizens put off by the bias in Western media coverage of the Tibetan riots have festooned their MSN messenger names with hearts and "CHINA".

MSN contact lists of netizens have steadily filled up with the symbols of solidarity since Wednesday.

One MSN user told reporters the symbol's ubiquity underlined the Chinese people's love for their country.

"Heart + CHINA means 'I love China'," said one user who calls herself "Heart + CHINA Yao" on her contact details.

"It also means all Chinese people are united in supporting our country when it faces challenges."
