When we were called the sick man of East Asia, we were taken as the Yellow Peril
When we were propagandised as the next super power, we were taken as a threat
When we closed our doors, you opened the market by smuggling drugs
When we demonstrated our belief in free trade, you complained that we stole your jobs
When our country was torn into pieces, your army came and demanded a slice of the melon
When we put the pieces back together, you clamoured for us to free Tibet
Fine. Then we tried to live by communism, but you hated us for our communist rules
So we moved on and accepted capitalism, but you hated that too
When we had a population of 1billion, you said we were taking over the planet
When we implemented family planning, you said it was inhumane
When we were poor, you looked down on us as dogs
When we lent you money, you blamed us for adding to your debt
When we developed our industries, you said we were the world's main polluter
When we sold you our products, you blamed us for adding to the greenhouse effect
When we purchased oil, you said it added to exploitation and genocide
When you launched a war for oil, you said it was to liberate an oppressed race
When we had riots, you wanted to take over and implement laws for us
When we calmed the riots using our law, you said we violated basic human rights
When we stayed quiet, you demanded freedom of speech
When we were silent no more, you said we were brainwashed xenophobes
When we made products for you, you said we polluted the environment
When we stopped exporting some products, you said it was trade protectionism
When we asked why you hated us, you replied, "We don't hate you"
We then said we didn't hate you either, but asked if you even tried to understand us
"Of course!" you replied. "We have media such as AFP, CNN and the BBC. What do you want from us?"
Think about it carefully
The answer is: You think you are the only one deserving so many opportunities
Enough! This world has been hypocritical enough
We hope for "One World, One Dream" and a piece of the planet as well
This blue planet is big enough for all of us.
