What did the French do more wrong?


Compared to the British and the Americans, what have the French done more wrong, I wonder when I read this summery by Shanghaiist, reporting Carrefour trouble in Hefei, Qingdao, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Jinan and Kunming.
ESWN has nice pictures and translates the weblof of the always critical journalist Wang Xiaofeng, talking about Western journalists:
Among the western reporters that I have made contact with, some of them will report on things based upon the professional code of journalists. But there are other reporters who do so based completely on their own subjective judgment. It does not matter what you say to them. They don't understand China, they are not interested in understanding China, they are just doing their job and their work is done when they turn in a report. Whether the report is objective and fair is of secondary importance, because the main thing is whether the report fits their news values. If the foreign correspondents are like that, it is only too normal for Jack Cafferty to say those stupid things.
