France at the bedside of the Chinese countryside

[freddau]

The number three of the Chinese government, on a visit to Paris, requests the help of France to get its campaigns out of the crisis.


WHEN Chinese President Hu Jintao is making a historic visit to the United States, the number three of the Beijing government, Hui Liangyu, Deputy Prime Minister in charge of Agriculture, is in France for a visit much less publicized but at stake just as strategic.

A cooperation protocol will be signed today between the two governments. As summed up by a senior French official, "what matters is the political will that is thus affirmed and the concrete actions that result from it, and not the official texts and speeches". The most successful achievement is wine cooperation in the city of Huailai. Thanks to the advice of French oenologists and the internships offered to Chinese winemakers in France, "Dragon Seal" wine is gaining ground on the Chinese market.

Likewise, the large French grain cooperatives and INRA are working on the same type of project in grains. It is not surprising that Limagrain, one of the four largest producers of agricultural seeds in the world, is involved. China is still far from self-sufficiency in wheat and corn, crops that promise a bright future with the westernization of tastes. Of course, the big American seed companies like Monsanto also dream of watering the furrows of the people's republic.

Especially since agriculture still weighs 15% of Chinese GDP and provides 40% of jobs in the Middle Kingdom. A very impressive green industry but which suffers from two deadly diseases: corruption and misery.

Bloody jokes

After having long turned its back on its campaigns, obsessed with the desire to develop its industry and its services, Beijing is today forced to better distribute wealth. Especially since the distinguished sinologists predict that the rural revolts that erupt in remote provinces, may ultimately threaten the very existence of the communist regime. For the time being, the authorities have got into the habit of repressing these jokes very harshly. Tiananmen way.

Last December, police opened fire on demonstrators in a village in Guangdong province (three dead according to the official report). Also in the same province, riots were reported to have ended in January with the death of a child and a hundred wounded. The government minimizes the seriousness of the violence but admits 86 “incidents” for the year 000.

Aware of the danger, Premier Wen Jiabao announced last month that agriculture is becoming a government priority, freeing up $ 339 billion yuan ($ 42 billion) to modernize the sector. The effort in favor of the “new socialist rural regions” is at the heart of the 2006th plan (2010-XNUMX).

In this context, France is not being asked to offer its know-how in the hope of promising outlets. China is one of the twelve priority countries for French agrifood.

On the flip side, China is now a dreaded agricultural rival. And already, French producers of tomatoes, strawberries, apples and garlic are feeling the brunt of this low-cost competition.

Me what annoys me in this article of the world,

it is the gains again highlighted to justify aid rather than assistance and aid to a population which suffers.

And I'm almost happy when I see the Chinese president in America who meets Boeing (polluter) and Microsoft and here we talk about campaign assistance.

Good our campaigns also suffer, in the Latest news of Alsace, the bee population lost 50% of its population Because of the intense and prolonged cold of winter.
Knowing that these little animals are super important for pollination, fortunately the beekeepers take care of them.

Of course, the big American seed companies like Monsanto also dream of watering the furrows of the people's republic.

If the help is nitrates, GMOs and the whole panoply of intensive crops that have polluted our water tables, killed our bees (Gaucho insecticide), etc ...... thank you for them and what awaits them in a few years, there is no lesson, you always have to pass on your own mistakes. This is what the ricans have done with the rest of the world and now we are going to help them. Long live PROGRESS ..

Faith is believing without seeing

Lisa Carducci

On November 12, 2005, an article in the China Daily reported that most Americans are not impressed by the behavior and the morale of the Bush administration, which has become more unpopular since its war in Iraq, among other recent odds. At least 57% of respondents do not believe that the Bush administration has high ethical standards and the same percentage of citizens believe that President Bush is not being honest. Those who support Bush and his team in these aspects are white people, southerners, and Christian proselytes.

However, this government was legally elected by the same people who today do not believe in it. And he was elected under the promise of integrity and loyalty.

In Canada, moreover, the group of “Artists for Peace” (including musicians, actors, writers) claims, through petitions sent to Prime Minister Paul Martin and to the leaders of the most influential political parties, that the Canada, "which claims to act for peace and spends 13 billion dollars annually on defense, and will add another 12 billion in the next four years, reinvests the colossal sums spent on instruments of war in good relations between peoples as well than in policies of economic, diplomatic and cultural openness towards disadvantaged nations, more effective means of combating terrorism than any machine gun in the world. "

Meanwhile, the Italian-language weekly Il Cittadino canadese, published on November 23 an article by his correspondent in Italy, of which I note some sentences. Agostino Giordano says that as soon as he arrived in China on November 19, Bush "asked to go to a Protestant church to pray", an activity not provided for in the official program, the journalist added that "freedom of worship is prohibited in China "(did Bush think he was embarrassing the Chinese government?), And continuing that" China does not want to hear about human rights ", that" China is not only a country of great economic development, but also of military "That we must" hope that the people will have the strength to rebel or that the UN will intervene, because the UN cannot pretend to ignore that the Chinese economic boom is based on slavery ", that" no less than 50 million Chinese have stayed in concentration camps called laogai ", that" detention in China does not provide for indictment, trial or even judicial review ", that the" Communist Party is throwing a person in prison to his disc retion, and then forced the family of the accused to confess non-existent faults ", that in China" we are carrying out mass executions, in series ", and that the situation" has worsened since 2003, where every year are executed more people than anywhere else in the world ”.

It is breathtaking! It feels like a nightmare, or in the Middle Ages!

But will readers already protected against China and the "yellow peril" be caught up in the game? Will these words only fuel their hatred and prejudices?

Europeans and even more North Americans tend to believe that propaganda is a monopoly of the "bad" Communist Party. They naively believe that what the press and their government are saying is the truth. But today when people have started to travel, see with their own eyes, and have access to a wider variety of sources of information, they begin to doubt. Yet it is not yet the mass that is fundamentally changing, but a handful of enlightened citizens.

Since 1988 that I collaborated (without remuneration) in Cittadino canadese. During my first fourteen years of living in China, I wrote weekly on various aspects of this wonderful country, including delicate subjects, with the aim of helping Western readers to better understand this great nation that has become my milieu. . About fifty visitors came to China "after reading my articles"; and they found that I had only told the truth.

But then, on December 15, 2004, another baseless article signed Agostino Giordano had been published (and it was not the first time), containing unacceptable aberrations. I then asked the management of the weekly to simply "dissociate" from the responsibility for the words spoken. For three months (where I kept my articles already ready), nothing was done. I then sent my “Farewell, Readers! Which never appeared. I was honored with the utmost silence, in appreciation of seventeen years of frank collaboration. But above all, we never did justice to the readers who faithfully followed my column.

What can you do in a similar situation?
How often do foreign colleagues, who also work in China and know the Chinese reality, inform me of information conveyed by the media of various countries and the Internet? How many times have I myself written to publications like Le Monde 2 in France, La Presse or Le Devoir du Canada, or Il Tempo d'Italie to protest against disinformation! We never act on it. And if I persist in continuing, I am told: "This is not what our audience wants to hear. "
The public is you, readers of this comment. What will you do?
