I believe you remember that not long ago, on the night of September 21, Swedish television hosts openly insulted China on television.
Even under the strong rebuke of the Chinese embassy, this highly discriminatory act has gone to an end.
But on Sky News, Australia`s famous news channel, Ross Cameron, the host of < Outsider >, publicly insulted the Chinese on the show.
In the case of such incidents alone, the Australian approach seems to be completely different from that of Sweden!
The news host openly insulted China, and the TV station dismissed him as a teacher.
Last Tuesday night`s < Outsider > program was chaired by Ross Cameron and former Liberal MPs along with commentator and magazine editor Rowan Dean.
In the program, Ross published a comment on the Shanghai Disneyland:
"If you go to the Disneyland inShanghai on any typical morning of the week you'll see 20,000 black-haired, slanty-eyed, yellow-skinned Chinese desperate to get into Disneyland."
Whenever you go to Shanghai Disneyland in the morning, you will see more than 20,000 black-haired yellow skin and "hanging eye corner" Chinese, scrambling to enter the venue.
It is impossible to know exactly why he said this, because soon after the show was broadcast, the video went up and down from the official website.
In English, "slanty-eyed" is a discriminating phrase specifically aimed at East Asian people, meaning an eye-hanging angle or a single eyelid obliquity, which probably appears to be a thick upper eyelid and covers the lower eyelid at the corner of the eye.
In the eyes of the westerners, the eyes of the East Asians are slender and atheistic. Gradually, "slanty-eyed" became a bias in the eyes of Westerners, but also an insult to the East Asian people, with a strong sense of discrimination.
And as a television host, he must know the meaning and consequences of this sentence, in this case still wild words, I believe that everyone is unacceptable.
Sky News`s boss, Paul Whittaker, said in an official statement on Friday afternoon that Ross`s wording was totally unacceptable and that he apologized to the public on behalf of Ross, adding that Ross would pay the price.
So the boss fired Ross the same day!
The boss, Whittaker, also said in a statement that, Sky News had been trying to provide the public with intense and objective discussions on topics and scientific thematic debates, but Ross`s racist comments were totally intolerable by the company, and more than that. Such remarks are intolerable in Australian society as a whole!
This is not the first time that Sky News has met with a show host named Hua.
In 2011, another anchor on the channel, John Mangos, was fired for describing the Chinese as squint-eyed (squinty eyes).
Other TV presenters on the channel are pleased with their boss`s swift move, believing that they need to draw a line with such racists and do their part. To make a reasonable and objective assessment of the content of the news, this is the news force needed by Australian society.
In response to the incident, the new Australian racial Discrimination Commissioner, Chin Tan, said all the news and other media, such as commentator, had the responsibility to promote free and equal ideas and to put an end to such gross racist defamation. Because racial discrimination is totally intolerable in our Australian society!
The Swedish host openly insulted China, and the TV station was indifferent to it.
Swedish television this time got into trouble, claiming to be equal and democratic, but publicly insulted China, not only refused to apologize, but also self-styled humor! Is Sweden really taking the initiative this time?
Sweden has been on the horizon for a while, not design, travel and happiness, but blatant brutality, humiliation and racism.
The heat that should have dissipated as "Chinese tourists were brutally treated by police in Sweden" was revived by bold insulting remarks on Swedish television news programmes and is expected to spark another wave.
The news program blatantly insults China
On the evening of September 21, Swedish television SVT broadcast the Swedish news program as usual, but surprisingly, it turned out to be a complete insult and slander to the Chinese.
Be bully, sophistry and disgrace
The host introduced the topic with "Mr. Zeng and the family," and then dropped the incident itself and commented on the Chinese from top to bottom in harsh language, full of disdain and masochism, acting like a bully.
In the meantime, he said he had made fun of and mocked the Chinese on past shows without receiving warnings or reports from the masses, as a way of believing that racist statements against Chinese people were acceptable to Swedish society.
According to their own social experience, Swedes hate racism, except for Chinese and, of course, Russians.
Immediately after that, he said he was not racist, just talking about the matter, but then made a complaint of resentment that he was in fact a racist, and that the taunts and insults of the Chinese people were widely expected.
He noted that the three Gorges Dam, built in China, could slow the Earth`s rotation and offset the North Pole.
In addition, he satirized the Chinese people with a twisted up and down face.
Taunt the ambassador, pinyin becomes a stalemate
After a long period of verbal insults, there was a comment on Mr. Zeng`s family. After playing the relevant news material, he began to jump up and down excitedly, imitating the mother of Mr. Tseng, who knelt on his knees for help on the day, and mocked the word "help", which sounded like "KILL ME NOW" (come and kill me).
Then he laughed and behaved madly, saying that Mr. Tseng`s mother was sitting alone on the sidewalk shouting, "Kill me," very funny, and he would laugh when he thought of it.
He not only laughed at the Chinese pronunciation, but also teased the name of the Chinese people.
He singled out the Chinese ambassador to Malawi, Wang Shiting, who has just left office, saying his name means "Shiting poop" ("Shiting poop" and "pinyin shiting").
The integrity of the land, it is not a matter of play.
In addition, the Chinese layout given in the news is really too disrespectful, showing complete disdain for the Chinese territory of sovereignty, in which the Tiibet and TW layout has been eaten?
It is hard to calm the anger of the people who are mad at the heart of their hearts
Then came the climax of the news, when the host broadcast a Swedish propaganda film, a video titled "Welcome to Sweden".
The video claims to give some "advice" to Chinese visitors to Sweden to avoid embarrassment caused by cultural conflicts.
But the video content is not as soft as the introduction, on the contrary, the content is full of attacks and insults against the Chinese.
The video repeatedly mentions the word "poop", meaning that Chinese people behave badly and like to "solve it anywhere."
Later, the video`s female anchorwoman made a big point of view, accusing the Chinese of being racist, while Sweden is an open and equal-minded country that supports equal rights for everyone;
But because of Chinese racial discrimination, all equal rights in Sweden exclude the Chinese, defamation and discrimination are obvious.
At the end of the video, the anchorwoman showed Mr. Zeng`s father being carried away by the police and laughed, saying that if the Chinese were not doing well in Sweden, that would be their end.
The embassy made a strong condemnation
In response, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Sweden expressed his views on the remarks made by Swedish television stations against China:
A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy said in a statement on the same day that on the evening of the 21st, the "Swedish News" program on Swedish television broadcast a program of abominable and insulting China, and Jesper Lundahl, the host of the program, "made vicious insults and attacks on China and the Chinese people. We strongly condemn this and have submitted a strong protest to Swedish television ".
The spokesman said,
Swedish television about the content of the programme and Lundahl`s remarks "broadcast blatantly, promoting racism and xenophobia, and blatantly inciting racial hatred and antagonism against China and other ethnic groups," The map of China used lacks TW province and parts of Tiibet, which seriously infringes China`s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The programs have broken the bottom line of human morality, seriously challenged the conscience of human nature, and seriously violated the professional ethics of the media. "
In response to the Swedish TV program manager`s argument that it was entertainment, "We absolutely cannot accept it." We urge Swedish television and related programs to apologize immediately and reserve the right to take further steps in this regard. "
In response to China`s condemnation, the Swedish television group said that "the Chinese do not understand humor", "do not understand Swedish", and directly challenged the Embassy, indicating that they are not afraid of being prosecuted. Before the show was broadcast, it had been reviewed by lawyers and ethics consultants.
The impact of the Swedish TV insults on China is far-reaching, and because Swedish television is a government-funded television station, the deep meaning of which is unknown.
Blatantly humiliating China has aroused heated discussion among netizens.
The vast majority of netizens also have their own opinions on the incident.
Although the words reveal some extreme and angry, but it is not difficult to see, a patriotic heart of netizens is still very strong!
In fact, we can do a lot of, such as strict self-requirements, focus on quality improvement, the rest of it will be handed over to the state, after all, black wash, white also not black, justice from the heart.
epilogue
Through this incident, we can clearly feel the professional conduct of Australian media workers. Of course, in Australia, a pluralistic country, not just Chinese, any racial discrimination needs to be taken seriously. Zero tolerance for insulting other peoples is not a requirement, it is the bottom line.
Australian TV station respect for Chinese and the rejection of racism can also be felt slowly, and what we need to do is to pass on this respect, to be good to others is to be good with yourself, and it is enough to have a clear conscience.
