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.)
去仆街啦,賤種!家陣美國9/11最保守估計都死咗3千幾人呀。對面9/11嘅恐佈襲擊,當年全世界除咗伊拉克之外 ...

You moron, the whole world knows the US is hated due to the US hegemony. The US not only created instability in world politics, but also economic instability by creating bad debts and toxic assets.
Milllions of regular people were killed in Iraq since the US invaded, but the western media never talk about it.
