As the New York Post first reported, Chinese-born pianist Lang Lang selected a communist nationalistic America-hating pointed propaganda tune when he played at the White House state dinner recently. Slave masters, executioners and prison wardens throughout China are laughing at the Obama Administration’s stupidity.
Superficially diplomatic, Lang during a television interview said, "I think playing the tune at the White House banquet can help us, as Chinese people, feel extremely proud of ourselves and express our feelings through the song. I think it's especially good. Also, I like the tune in and of itself. Every time I hear it, I feel extremely moved."
Lang was much blunter on a blog where he wrote, "Playing this song praising China to heads of state from around the world seems to tell them that our China is formidable, that our Chinese people are united; I feel deeply honored and proud," Lang wrote.
Lang’s selection was the famous anti-American propaganda tune "My Motherland" -- the theme song from the Chinese-made Korean War movie "Battle on Shangangling Mountain."
The New York Post noted, “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” and that “Lang apparently knew exactly what he was playing.”
The 1956 film 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 tune played at the White House inspired patriotic chest-thumping on Chinese blogs with one quoted by the New York Post writing, "Those American folks very much enjoyed it and were totally infatuated with the melody!!! The US is truly stupid!!"

Editorial Note: Tulsa Today does not usually comment on the People’s Republic of China. We are more interested in Chinese Nationals that legally immigrate to the Tulsa area to build homes, businesses and churches. From their words, we understand in truth how brittle and fragile China society is today and how many here and there personally honor the freedom and individual liberty found in America.
