"Les Français" sont-ils les seuls à heurter le sentiment national "des Chinois" ?

Après-tout on pourrait se poser la question, n'est-ce pas ?
Après tout ce tin-touin autour d'une rencontre. C'est d'ailleurs ce pourquoi je mets des guillements aux "Français" et aux "chinois" dans le titre. Qui et quels sont-ils ces Français et ces Chinois là ?
Tant de chinois, tant de français qui n'ont pas tous les mêmes opinions (c'est même un sport quasi national en France que la création de chapelles diverses et variées, même parmi des groupuscules totalement insignifiants du point de vue du nombre -sans parler des "grands groupes" on trouve des "divergences insurmontables" qui provoquent des fâcheries, des scissions aussi diverses et insurmontables les unes que les autres, c'est dire !).
Revenons donc au sujet initial.
En faisant un petit tour des médias sur la Chine, j'ai trouvé cet article qui peut vous intéresser. Je vous le livre tel quel et ne me fends pas d'une traduction car je n'ai pas le temps (hélas).

Mapping the hurt feelings of the Chinese people
Posted by Joel Martinsen, December 11, 2008 12:14 PM

China's blogs and online forums have reacted in different ways to the official indignation over French President Nicolas Sarkozy's meeting with the Dаlаi Lаmа.

Boycotts, which played a large role in the anti-French sentiment during the Olympic torch relay earlier this year, were the subject of heated discussion (see Global Voices Online for more details).

But other netizens were inspired by the words of the deputy foreign minister; "The meeting grossly interfered in China's internal affairs, severely undermined China's core interests, gravely hurt the feelings of the Chinese people and damaged the political basis of China-France and China-EU relations."

How many times have the Chinese people's feelings been hurt, anyway? Blogger FangKC searched through the electronic archives of the People's Daily between 1946 and 2006 and discovered that 19 countries and organizations have been accused of hurting the feelings of the Chinese people:

1. Japan: 47 times, starting in 1985
2. USA: 23 times, starting in 1980, when Los Angeles flew the ROC flag
3. NATO: 10 times, mostly relating to the 1999 Belgrade embassy bombing
4. India: 7 times, starting in 1986 and mostly relating to border issues
5. France: 5 times, starting in 1989
6. Nobel Committee: 4 times
7. Germany: 3 times, starting with a meeting with the Dаlаi Lаmа in 1990
8. Vatican City: 3 times, starting in 2000
9. EU: 2 times, starting in 1996
10. Guatemala: 2 times, both in 1997
11. Indonesia: in 1959, when a newspaper inflamed anti-Chinese sentiment
12. Albania: in 1978, for criticism of Chairman Mao and the Chinese Communist Party
13. Vietnam: in 1979, for a high official's slander of China
14. UK: in 1994, over the Taiwan issue
15. The Netherlands: in 1980, over the government authorizing a company to provide submarines to Taiwan
16. Iceland: in 1997, for allowing Lien Chan to visit
17. Jordan: in 1998, for allowing Lien Chan to visit
18. Nicaragua: in 1995, for supporting Taiwan's bid to join the UN
19. South Africa: in 1996, for proposing a two-China policy

Feeling that FangKC had undercounted, blogger Arctosia at Bear's Blog created this map of countries that "have been clearly fingered by state media or representatives of the Chinese government of hurting the feelings of the Chinese people."

En gros : nous ne sommes pas les seuls, vraiment pas, à avoir heurté le sentiment national chinois ! Non pas que ça rassure, mais ça aide à relativiser.
