Keep up the fight




Dear friends;

I and my colleagues are so pleased to see CCR finally issued a protest letter
to CBS. Although the wording was well-calculated and stayed on a conservative side, there is no deny that this represents a significant achievement of all our
Chinese compatriots involved.

This indicates that at least a sizable portion of us realized that sometimes you have to put up a good fight, not necessarily to achieve a smashing victory, but at least to deter further aggression from the ill-intentioned, and to issue a stern warning.

When confronted with vicious attack, we somtimes tend to be too passive, tend to think that a fight is not worth the effort and frustration. This may be true in some circumstances. But the relationship between our effort (x) and the effect (y) is a S curve with a steep inital slope, that handsomely rewards our even modest efforts. That is, to fight a little is so much better than to remain absolutely silent, while we may argue the appropriate extent of our battle.

Let's conserve our energy, fight intelligently and consistently. Don't burn out but don't give up.

ZG etc.
