my point is that you singled out the "old Chinese" and lumped their views in the heap with the Communist Government. While there are a great many supporters of the communist govt. There are also a great many elder Chinese who do look favorably upon the United States.
"Somehow, I doubt that most "old Chinese people" are even aware of the UN."
With all due respect, dont be so naive. While many countries do not truly know what the UN is about, they do know about the UN and the do know what it is. They may be old but they aren't dumb.
"Thirdly, I find it remarkably racist of the NY Times to single out the "older Chinese". If this was being written about "older French", would we be doubting the political implication of the story?"
Racist? Maybe you mean discriminatory? In either case, I dont see the connection.

1. I'm not naive.
2. Are you defending the NY Times?
3. Do you disagree with my assertion that the story is PRC spin?
