DJ, still can't get it going. Earlier in the day, the link led to a web site, to which that was a need to register. I didn't have time to follow through. Now, it leads to something very different. Completely flummoxed.

DL, Welcome to the new world of the internet, where people want to keep track of things (ala NSA), and eventually get paid or some benefit from your clicks. Your browser acted that way because of the cookie inserted when you first visited Foreign Policy First see if you can use a private window (Firefox) or an incognito window (Chrome). These will not store cookies onto the browser. Then you can view many more New York Times sites without it being counted against you. The inconvenience of not having cookies enabled is that you will need to sign in more frequently. As in any battle, for every measure there is a counter measure. This tactic might work for a couple of years. Try this New York Times report click The original China News article click (methinks-cannot read Chinese and Google Translate broke) DJ |

DJ, I now have a clear idea of what it is about. I read only two or three paragraph of the article in Chinese. It is exactly what the NY Times article has described.
The article is complete diatribe. It's the work of a person with warped logic. He ( could be a she) is a product of China's education system. It is the kind of curriculum that the people in Hong Kong so vocally and overwhelmingly rejected last year.
The sycophants in HK Govt, tried to please the mainland masters by introducing a subject to do with morals and national education. It is a subtle form of brainwashing. There was a huge outcry in the community and the education department mandarins had no choice but to shelf it.
That's how some of the people think in China. After so many visits in recent years, I think I can read into their mindset.

DL,
I really appreciate your comments and insight, especially your reading the original Chinese article and comparing it with the New York Times version.
Because of your insight, I went back to the New York Times article and read the comments. I wish I could read the Weibo comments. Generally, the NYT comments imply that the Chinese netizens also pan the original article.
DL
