Even with great attempts to link the answers to the presenter’s own belief by asking leading questions to presumed answers, or pretexting questions with implicative phrases that are intended to elicit negative opinions/information about China, Dr. Jeremy Youde (Fellow/Senior Lecturer Department of International Relations, Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs ANU College of Asia & the Pacific) answered these questions gracefully, truthfully and courageously.
J.F. Kennedy has said, “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie--deliberate, contrived, and dishonest--but the myth--persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion with the discomfort of thought." Ironically in the ‘fake news’ ‘post-truth era, deception is truly commonplace, from the illicit to the so-called intellectuals, who really are the primary sources of disinformation – an “elite-driven, mass-media led process” and fundamentally controls what the people listen to. Let us be always on guard of the people who speak “to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.”
