let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen

The entire world understands how China has treated it's peoples for years, so I'm not sure where RW is reading from, instructing the CNN guy to go read.......Seems RW need to go and visit parts of China and see for himself. 
I've seen it first hand how economically China has oppressed its work force. I'm not talking about in Shanghai or Beijing, I've been to parts where tourists don't go no tours or excursions to these parts. Working in forestry and wood products, going to factories and seeing it and then being told how much they are being paid. Work place safety??? What a joke....
Yea, there were many companies we did not do business with due to how they treated people. It was a shame because you knew you were affecting them directly and their families.

Agree with SteveG, he is not a NATO fan clearly. What struck me is that Roger at first does not seem like the political stuff means much but soon as CNN guy starts probing Roger turns into a political preacher with veins popping and spitting as he talks......poor guy.

It's no surprise to me that Roger is anti NATO. He'd better get use to more and more European countries joining the NATO fold, thanks to Stalin-Putin.

Maybe Taïwan (only 15% of its population is chinese - Han ethnicity, anyways) should give the Kuomintang treasure (actually the Imperial treasure if memory serves) - which was stolen by Chang Kaï-Tchek and his crew.

If Taïwan wants its case to be "dropped" by China, it should first stop flashing the KMT emblem (white sun in a blue circle) from its flag. The KMT invaded the Formosa island in fleeing the communist (which is understandable) in 1949, but it took power of the islands at the cost of the many ethnicities in place. Indeed, the original Formosa population was  hardly Chinese at all (and still isn't), but a mosaic of ethnicities ranging from Melanesian, Austronesians, Sirayans etc...
FTM, the most-spoken language on the island is not Mandarin or Cantonese (or English), but Taïxwanese and Minnan (70%).  




==========================

But this CNN "polemist" (i wouldn't grace this goof with a "journalist" qualifier) is a pure disgrace... don't understand why Rog's poor judgment (he's very prone to this flaw) let him be interviewed by this clown.

100% agree with you on all points.

I listen to music to escape the nonstop barrage of political and social commentary. Unfortunately, Waters started to infect his music with that, beginning with Animals. I don't like that he's used his position in one of the most popular bands ever as a platform for his personal opinions. There's very little of PF I enjoy (except for some of the Gilmour-centric pieces) ever since. I don't deny that he's a great musician and lyricist -- I just don't like what he's singing about.

I watched that interview when it was aired. I almost posted it as well but thought maybe we'd had enough of Roger Doger's political vomitorium.
I thought Michael held his own against such a Wall.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

I agree that the interviewer was being deliberately provocative and trying to bait some controversial statements out of Waters, but as far as I'm aware I don't think he said any blatant untruths, whereas pretty much every single thing that Waters said about China is a load of doodoo. It's embarrassing but I wasn't expecting much better from him anyway.

I'm not a fan, never really have been, totally agree the music he has created has some amazing moments mainly with Pink Floyd.
This interview goes pretty bad after a couple minutes, I guess depending what your view point may be.

Enjoy LOL
