然后看看下面的评论，看看加拿大民众的观点吧：

After reading all comments up until now (23 posted) itseems there are 2 groups of posters: those who have lived in China, andthose who have never been there. Those who have lived there havesomewhat varying opinions, but mostly regard the reporters Kas Roussyand Michel Cormier as ignorant and rude. Those who don't know Chinamostly spout ill-informed prejudiced rhetoric.

I've been to China, including lots of villages in the countryside.I have usually arrived on foot. In some cases this is the only way toget there. Even in the more develpepd regions there aren't many cars invillages, and so anyone arriving by car will be a subject of interest.Kas Roussy claims to have stayed "in the car unnoticed", which I doubt.

Chinese village people are generally warm and friendly, being amongthe most hospitable in the world. I visited several farmer's homes, wasoften given food, and always felt welcome. I like the countryside ofChina and look forward to returning.

The reason for the bad treatment of the reporters in this story isvery probably the negative reporting - combined with sensitivitiesassociated with the Games. For example, there is widespread knowledgein China of the insults that were aimed at China in association withthe Olympic torch relay.

One thing that most Canadians don't know is that support for theCommunist Party is stronger in the Chinese countryside than the cities.The officials in the villages are elected by the villagers; they arenot appointed. This results in continuing support for the party amongthe people in the countryside, who are the majority of Chinese. Irealize that this will be a shock to most Canadians - but it is so.

I imagine that Tina, the interpreter in this story, did her bestand found the situation difficult. She probably didn't show it, thisbeing the Chinese way. I feel sorry for her predicament.

Most Chinese people don't compare their situation with ours inCanada. They compare life in China as they remember it in the past withhow it is now. Things are a lot better now than they used to be, and somost people have positive feelings about their country and don'tunderstand all this negativity. Indeed, they find it rude andinsulting.

Negativity by foreigners, who are guests in China, strengthenssupport for the Communist Party. It is irrational for China-bashers tocall for the toppling of the communists by being insulting. In practicethey are promoting the Communist Party.

To CBC reporters,

No wonder you get cold shoulders from the Chinese people. Look at the reports Michel Cormier wrote: full of negative spins, China bashing, etc.

Michel Cormier never cared about the people he interviewed. He just want to get what he wants to hear, and no matter if it is going to endanger the people whom he interviewed.

China is China. Don't pretend to not knowing what can be done, and what can not be done. There is clear rules there. If you try to break the rules, and bring other people with you, you will get cold shoulders, no wonder.

No one is naive to think that you are going to write anything feel-good stories. Please look at your track record. CBC reporters, please just don't lie.

I'm just wondering what kind of person Michel Cormier is!!!!!!! Read Diana Swain's blog, she is sooo wonderful and so open-minded. Compare to her, you are way below the level.

In 2010, the reporters from the world come to Vancouver, they are not interested in anything related to Olympics, all they are interested, are coming to East Hasting streets, meeting with those dirty people, drug dealers, hookers, beggers, ask them why you are so dirty, so nusty, why you don't have a warm place to sleep, why you don't have food to eat? Why are you sleeping on the streets or sleeping in a paper box? Reports picture hundreds of the homeless people in East Hasting streets, every dirty corners of Easting Vancouver. Vancouver seems the one of the best places in the world, why hasting streets are so dirty, all streets smell like something those reporters can only smell in the washing room in their own country.

What our Canadian will feel about those reports?

Kas Roussy:

The sign was in Chinese, and intended for Chinese people. You see that kind of signs everywhere in China, just like you see signs of "Neighbourhood Watch" in Canada. It had nothing to do with the Beijing Olympics, and it sure was not for keeping out foreigners. See how you twisted the story to mislead Canadians? And what was the Chinese version of "trying to find time?" Is it "chou kong?" Oh, for God sake, it didnt mean these's no rest for him. What he meant was he watched the Game on and off, not day and night. BTY, reporters are not welcome in rural areas, whether you are Chinese or foreigner. I am sure you know this. To be honest with you, I think you went to the rural areas looking for cold shoulder to make your twisted story more convincing and interesting. Otherwise, why did you not interview millions of people in Beijing?

真是为CBC感到可怜
