CHINESE TRY TO BULLY THE WORLD USING THE INTERNET

One thing I have noticed of late (and it's not like I've been looking for it) is the amount of venom being spewed by Chinese internet users, as seen on various blogs and message boards, towards anyone who questions their country's oppression and human rights abuses. I haven't made a point to catalog all this garbage, but this morning I thought I would search to see if anyone else had noticed this trend of internet bullying by the Chinese. Indeed, others have noticed. Here is some of what I found on the net:

A Chinese student at Duke who participated in pro-Tibet protests on campus -- after befriending her Tibetan dorm-mate -- has become the target of brutal online and offline attacks. Thousands of nationalist Chinese thugs (some claiming to be Duke students) see her actions as "traitorous," and have threatened her with personal attacks in comment threads and, apparently, in person.

Online, the bullies have posted her photograph, her US phone number, Chinese identity card number, her parents' address and home number in China. Offline, her parents' home in Qingdao is said to have been attacked with rocks, and her parents are now in hiding.

Chinese bullies

And this:

Malicious e-mail and other cyberattacks on Tibet advocacy groups in the United States are linked to Internet servers used in past hacker intrusions traced by U.S. law enforcement to China.

The link, made by security experts on the basis of publicly available data, is the first direct evidence the recently intensified attacks against the Tibet groups, reported by United Press International a week ago, were launched from China. But it remains unclear to what extent -- if any -- the Chinese government or military is implicated.

Malicious emails

There are numerous other examples. All you have to do is go to any well published internet article that criticizes China in any regard and you will find legions of Chinese cyber hit men lashing out at the author, the readers and anyone else who dares criticize China.

Couple these cyber attacks with the Chinese nationalism that causes "Chinese/Americans" to rally in American cities waving communist China flags, and I would say that you should not be in such a hurry to feast at the all you can eat Chinese buffet this weekend. I wouldn't put it past these creepy, ignorant bullies to start filling the crab rangoons with ricin.
