「米国が汚職一番ひどい」 ジャッキー・チェンさんが発言 「中国に洗脳されている」と非難の声
The anti-Americanism of Jackie Chan
Posted by Max Fisher on January 10, 2013 at 12:27 pm
you might naturally be wondering how Chan can square his criticism of the United States with his long embrace of the American film market. How, after all, could he spend so much time making movies in “the most corrupt country in the world”? It’s the sort of contradiction that can make Chinese views of the U.S. baffling. I’m reminded of a 2011 Chinese TV documentary about the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, in which a young student beamed that he had been “very happy” about the attacks. He added of Osama bin Laden, “Anyone who quarrels with the Americans is a hero.” When the interviewer asked the Beijinger how he felt about the United States, he said, hardly missing a beat, “I love it. I’m studying in the U.S. soon. If I don’t have to come back, then I won’t come back.”
To be clear, I’m not suggesting that Jackie Chan holds such opinions, or that this is even a particularly common view in China. The young Beijinger’s comments were roundly mocked on Chinese social media precisely because they were so baldly hypocritical. Still, they were an extreme form of a much milder but similarly contradictory Chinese perception of America, one that maybe has echoes in Chan’s condemnation of the country that has helped make him so rich.
To the degree that Chan’s comments were anti-American, they likewise reflect a common Chinese view of the United States, one that is rooted not just in attitudes toward America but in China’s proud but sometimes insecure view of itself. In other words, we shouldn’t be too offended.
ジャッキーチェーンはアメリカで儲けているくせに、アメリカを中国以下みたいにいいやがって、なんたることか、、まあ、しかし、中国に自信がないからこそ、そんな態度とるんであって、そんなに憤慨することもないよ、と、複雑な反応。
最近、ＣＮＮのイギリス人やら、ジャッキーチェンなど外国人にアメリカのことを批判されてさわぐアメリカ人が多いっすね。
外国にどうみられているか、気にしすぎだよ、とか、日本について言っていたアメリカ人がいたっけなああ

Among 122 countries interviewed on well-being in a gallup world poll against a nation's real GDP per capita (and adjusted for purchasing power) found that well-being rises with income at all income levels in every country.
Therefor, rich countries are happier than poorer countries.
It also found that you need to increase your income by consistent percentages to feel happier about a raise.

Interestingly, while the U.S. economy has doubled in size since the early 1970s, its self-reported happiness has been declining.That could be attributed to the growing economic disparity between the wealthy and the poor.

The parties became embroiled in a bitter dispute, which wrapped up this week, when B.C. Supreme Court Justice Linda Loo ordered a judgment of $67,706 in favour of Abraham and Belay. Loo ruled the landlord had not discussed any restrictions on cutting men’s hair with the couple until two months after the contract was signed and therefore did not reach an “enforceable agreement.”
By that time, the judge noted, the couple had incurred substantial labour and material expenses in renovating the shop, which smelled of mould, had cracked and uneven floors and was riddled with water leaks and rotten studs.

Were U.S. Marines Used as Guinea Pigs on Okinawa?
By Jon Mitchell

Newly-discovered documents reveal that fifty years ago this month, in December 1962, the Pentagon dispatched a chemical weapons platoon to Okinawa under the auspices of its infamous Project 112. Described by the U.S. Department of Defense as "biological and chemical warfare vulnerability tests," the highly classified program subjected thousands of unwitting American service members around the globe to substances including sarin and VX nerve gases.
・・・・・
In the near future, Washington plans to return a number of U.S. installations on Okinawa to civilian usage. However, just as former U.S. CBW storage sites elsewhere -- such as the Rocky Mountain Arsenal and Johnston Island -- remain dangerously contaminated, Okinawan land is likely to be handed back in a similarly toxic state.
Under the current U.S.-Japan Status of Forces Agreement, the host government is solely responsible for the cleanup of former bases -- a task that's expected to set Japanese taxpayers back hundreds of millions of dollars. With the true cost in terms of health and capital yet to be determined, there is a real risk that these weapons of mass destruction will poison not only the soil but also the Okinawan people and American-Japanese-Okinawan relations for decades to come.
