Exploitation in China's Tea Regions?

[@martinjohnson4405]

Zhen, thank you for the video, you handled a difficult topic well. Don't forget that we in the States have been fed anti-Chinese propaganda since, probably, 1949 on; I remember it from when I was in primary school in the early 1960s on to today. I don't know about Canada, but I would guess it wasn't as bad there. The cultural differences between the West and China in interesting. I've come to the point that when I see something that bothers my American sensibilities I first ask if the issue is that I don't understand Chinese cultural. As an English teacher I would listen for my students' grammatical and word order errors, because it taught me something about the Chinese grammar and word order. For example: "I very like." Ah, 我很喜欢。(Wǒ hěn xǐhuān.) I suggested that my students listen to my Chinese grammatical and word order errors to learn about English. Another great cultural difference. My students would say to me one of the big differences between China and the US is that they knew that the media in China was controlled and not free, we Americans are naive and fool ourselves into thinking that our media is free and not controlled. As I critically watch our media, the more I agree with my students..

Zhen. I like what you have to say. For me,it is quite simple. I live here. Where? Earth. This is my planet,it is filled with neighborhoods,these are my newborns,be they Asian,African,European Australian,South American. I ALWAYS sit down,at a table,I always enjoy their company,as I hold true to the notion of “Love thy neighbor”. At the end of the day,that’s all we got,yes? 🥰

Zhen, you don't have to explain yourself, but need to learn the politics of it. For many years, my country and Indonesia agricultural industry has been attacked by western countries, after being colonised by them for a few centuries. They said our palm oils is not good. They said our farmers are clearing jungle for plantation. They said we should preserve habitat for wild animals (orangutan). They will invent whatever reasons to discourage palm oil consumption, so that they can sell their edible oils at higher prices.

The problem is that, believe it or not, a lot of people still watch CNN.

Would be just as easy (and correct) to say that the problem is that people still watch Fox News. I think it more accurate to say that the problem is that people watch the news provider they prefer, without seeking differing opinion or applying critical reasoning to what they're watching. I'm hoping that's more of what you're implying. Regardless, we need to remember to try and challenge ourselves to consider other viewpoints and dot dismiss them out of hand.
