There's a lot WE can do, but the bottleneck is Chinese media. Will they stop being the quintessential nice Asian man and grow a spine or will they keep writing "Please understand us. We mean no harm." pieces?

The West's hypocrisy is plain for anyone to see if they are allowed to see it. The only way for the West to demonize China is to cherry pick and blow isolated incidents out of proportion, strip out context from stories, outright lying AND have an opponent who stupidly continues being the "bigger man" by listening silently like a good little boy. The West's most famous stories, Tibetan "genocide", Mao's "mass murder", Tianamen Square "massacre", use all three. If China wants to win the media war, it can, but as always, they are their own worst enemy. What China and Asians need to understand is their strategy of doing nothing is not the "bigger man". It's not "cunning". It is outrageously stupid. Their "we don't want to talk about this" is not any better. Both are perceived as an admission of guilt instead of the response from someone who holds the higher ground. As long as china allows the West to control the frame, the West will keep winning the soft power/public relations/psychological operations wars.

Instead of allowing the West to frame the issues around human rights, rule of law, democracy, etc. The Chinese should cut through the lies and expose the extreme hypocrisy. It's about human rights? Why did USA illegally invade Iraq and kill 1 million innocent people? It's about rule of law? Why did you illegally spy on the world with the NSA? It's about democracy? Why did you overthrow democratically elected leaders around the world? No matter what these demons say, there is a definitive counterpunch that lays bare their true agenda. They don't care about these so-called values. They are covers for the West's naked aggression and insatiable greed.
