Chengdu Commercial Daily: It depends on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Qin Gang on "guns and roses"

Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang held a regular press conference, the six-party talks on Sino-US relations and other issues question and answer session. Of these, a reporter asked: "a band of the United States' guns and roses' (referred to as the" gun ") issued a" democratic China "and the new album, What is your reaction?" Said Qin Gang : "As far as I know, a lot of people do not like this type of music because it was too noisy, too much noise. I think you should be a mature adult?"

To tell the truth, Qin Gang's statement is beyond my expectation. For media reporters, particularly in the West do not have the intention of this reporter's question, we have a press spokesman for the performance of the most common way, either outright or Yizhengciyan is conducted tit-for-tat rejected. In fact, the answer to that kind of way, perhaps the middle of a question by the wishes they want is to this effect. The Gang of wit and humor so to speak, Mianlicangzhen, with a mean of ridicule, people do feel a moderate liberal political climate will blow against our faces.

U.S. rock band "Guns and Roses" on the 23rd of this month published a "Chinese Democracy" album, many Western media immediately became the object of speculation. Qin Gang from the response to this statement, let us also appreciate that others in our behind the "irresponsible remarks" an open-minded attitude, while others see voice recognition. With regard to our business, how can you say that you have the freedom to listen to and we did not listen to our freedom, after all, we are all "adults", has its own judgments. Your "Tianlaizhiyin" For us, perhaps that is "noisy voice," Of course we can reject it.

With China's status in the international community to demonstrate the growing, so there are some people who angered China as a hype and publicity stunts. In fact, it is no surprise, it proved another aspect of the Chinese people are gradually attracted attention. We do not have to be too sensitive, while others tried to become the object of teasing. Similar to the "guns and roses" by the Chinese name of the organization to its own hype, we in a more peaceful state of mind to deal with. Now that our "Uncle Lei Feng" in the United States can become the idol of young people, it should be allowed to take part of the American people, "Chinese democracy" and said the matter.

In fact, the ultimate political goal is to improve people's well-being index, making people more freedom, equality, so there is no need to make as political tensions. We have thousands of years of feudal autocratic culture, although it can be said is a long history, but also a heavy burden. In such a political culture under the influence, to bring a political, people always think that the sacred and very heavy, very screwy human. On the kind of "political joke", or fun way to talk about politics, we are not afraid of that anger. The past few years, through exchanges with the outside world, our political culture is increasingly relaxed atmosphere. This is a good thing.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang for "guns and roses," the band "Chinese Democracy" album's clever answer, let us see that our political climate is increasingly liberal, our mentality is becoming a mature democracy, we are kind of out of The outside world views allergy Xiaojiaziqi, on the road to democracy demonstrated by the open-minded and self-confidence. Qin's statement, let us see that politics can be so easily!
