...called the "West Sea" seven times in the 15th century, spreading the Chinese culture to distant land. Only later on, especially in the late Qing Dynasty, [did] the feudal rulers adopt [...] a policy of seclusion, which hampered China's progress and its exchanges with the outside world. After the Opium War, generation after generation of enlightened Chinese people have spared no efforts in learning from Western countries advanced science and cultural achievements in combination with China's realities and pushing for China's social reforms and development. Today, the Chinese people who are struggling to achieve modernization have made...
...tanks and machine guns, then denied (and to this day still denies) that anything ever happened. It is engaging in a calculated program to destroy the culture of Tibet as part of its own imperialistic drives--and doing so with a ruthlessness never approached by the British in their Opium Wars. It systematically persecutes the members of a minority religion and defends itself as the victim of an international conspiracy. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

The religion that is truly persecuted is Christianity, perhaps because it is often associated with the greatest humiliations of modern Chinese history: Western Imperialism, opium and broken treaties. China finally recovered the last pieces of territory taken from it by the West this July...
...finish line, they more or less ignore the winner, acting as if nothing unusual had happened. Shoumatoff writes that the Tarahumara never accepted the Spanish culture and religion, but that lately their culture has been brutalized by narco-traficantes, drug dealers who terrorized them into growing marijuana and opium poppies. He comments wryly that pot and heroin are "the new treasure of the Sierra Madre...
