Hey, i'm allowed to bag my own country!
Anyhow, my patriotsm only kicks in when foreigners bad mouth China... i do have a few opinions regarding the affairs of my country but lately i have grown more critical after reading threads after threads of Chinese posters who only think in terms of pride and so called "face reclaiming".
It just appears that everyone back there only want something utterly superficial. They want China to be strong, to be united and when you ask them why? they tell you it is so that foreigners can treat them as equals and they can stand tall T_T. No one thinks to better the country or anything... if anything went wrong, they blame the society while totally neglecting their own responsibilities... i'm just sadden by this whole perceived notion of success in my culture..
Anyways... this is off topic. i think CKCG is badly organised and people shouldn't compare it with WEG. And on www.playsc.cc they said that they are going to organise a CKCG ever year till 2008 when Bejing olympics starts.. then they would try to turn CKCG as a side - show to the olympics... like electronic olympics or somthing which i thought was very interesting.
An interesting thing to note: did you know the Korean singer performed in CKCG? she used to really popular in Korea and now she doing shows and releasing albums in China... (I'm sure Koreans and Chinese know her) Very interesting to see that a main stream pop artist is involved in this event keke.

Thats very true, China's harshest's critics are problaly Chinese themselves. But like most people, will go defending they country to the bitter end against colonising foriegn imperialist dogs!
