Chinese pianist played anti-American song at state dinner

F'ck this dude! Little biatch!

During his performance, Lang tinkled the ivories with the famous anti-American propaganda tune "My Motherland" -- the theme song from the Chinese-made Korean War movie "Battle on Shangangling Mountain."

Chinese President Hu Jintao, the guest of honor at the dinner, surely recognized the melody. The song has been a favorite anti-American propaganda tool for decades.



The 1956 film "Battle on Shangangling Mountain" depicts Chinese troops pinned down under enemy fire on the mountain. Then reinforcements arrive and the troops attack the US soldiers, whom the Chinese refer to as "jackals."

The song Lang played in front of Hu and President Obama includes the verse: "When friends are here, there is fine wine/But if the jackal comes/What greets it is the hunting rifle."



The anti-US musical interlude at the White House touched off some patriotic chest-thumping on Chinese blogs.

"Those American folks very much enjoyed it and were totally infatuated with the melody!!! The US is truly stupid!!" wrote one blogger.

Just another reason we have to curb our government spending. Allowing China to own so much of our debt is a national security risk.

..and you're shocked because.....????

Because I thought Chinese people have tiny pianists.

China is a real problem, because of the differering outlooks between Eastern and Western thought. The Eastern philosophers put society and the group ahead of the individual while the West celebrates individual rights. We're not simply headed for an economic or political system conflict, but a cultural one. We need to prepare ourselves for the battle, because it's coming whether we like it or not.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Yeah. I'm sure the dumbass people in attendance clapped and smiled! idiots!!!!!

 

[agoo]

Yeah. I'm sure the dumbass people in attendance clapped and smiled! idiots!!!!!

And you would have recognized this tune with your massive knowledge of Chinese cinema of the 1950s?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I would not welcome the chinese at a state dinner, let alone perform.

I would sit there without clapping and stare them down.

Does anyone else find it funny that when someone says something bad about us, it's anti-American, but if we say something bad about another country it's racist?
