A Chinese student on 9-11

9-11 in China

This image is currently being circulated on Weibo. It’s a series of screenshots from a Phoenix TV program on the tenth anniversary of 9-11. The screenshots show an interview with a student in Beijing. These are the captions:

Q: What was your reaction to 9-11?

A: I was very happy, because it was [caused by American] hegemonism.

Q: Would you go to the USA if you had the chance?

A: I’ve already applied to go.

Q: How long will you stay there?

A: If I can stay there, I’ll stay.

In China, this is not an unusual view of the world.

You can watch the Phoenix TV program online. The original Weibo posting is here (Note: the captions as reproduced in the Weibo post translated above are slightly different from those on the screenshots.)
