Comments on: The Sound of One Foot Walking http://www.carectomy.com/the-sound-of-one-foot-walking/ Sun, 17 Apr 2011 19:33:56 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: brian http://www.carectomy.com/the-sound-of-one-foot-walking/comment-page-1/#comment-404 brian Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-404 I'm skeptical about any news that comes out of China. The notion of a "free-press" is largely absurd these days, but it seems to be even worse in China. I’m skeptical about any news that comes out of China.

Considering the source (if it's coming straight from China), the claim of a higher fuel efficiency could well be bogus, altogether. There's no such thing as a "free press" there, and, as you mention, there are merely traces of it in most other countries--including so-called "progressive" Western nations. At least most of us can pick and choose our sources online; the Chinese don't have that luxury, often times, and are grossly misinformed by their government. Recent news only drives the point home (no pun intended, of course): http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7276891.stm Good point, Brian.

You're caught up in this POV that China is "politically in the dark ages" -- that is a bogeyman first and foremost before we can consider its green credentials. But China hasn't invaded Iraq in a determined quest for oil security nor has China more people incarcerated per capita than any other nation on earth. Nor is it pumping out carbon per capita higher than any other place on the planet. You could have written correctly:"I can’t condone the US government’s current (or, for that matter, past) violations of human rights, so it was somewhat shocking to read in the Toronto Star that a country so politically in the dark ages would have fuel-efficiency standards that are much worse than China’s." Freedom for Tibet? Sure. But if you are going to judge political systems en route to a discourse on emissions controls a little more humility is warranted. Hang on.
