Nationalist netizens on MSN “heart” China

Saw this via Hardwarezone’s forum.

According to the thread starter, liblib, Chinese using MSN messenger have put up similar “heart” badges on their contact names, in defiance of all the anti-China bullying in recent months.

There’s a more in-depth news report about this on omy (中国数百万网友“红心”护圣火) on 18 April.

I think this non-violence display of nationalism is a healthy development, regardless of stance on the issue. It’s much better than running amok on streets, burning properties, looting and endangering the lives of others.

Perhaps we can try something creative like this in Singapore next time when we want the authorities here to  hear our grievances? 🙂
