It means an embarrassment caused by a person or a situation to another individual or organisation.
One thing the Chinese dislike the most is to ‘ loose face’. ‘Face’ means, honour, good reputation, respect,and one can show ‘good face’ or ‘bad face’. Diu- mianzi, is when one’s actions or deeds are exposed to people, thus loosing face.
It is seldom that people complain for the reason that you may think, Most times there is another or hidden agenda. Somewhere the truth is to be found. The current Ryanair and Irish Government issue over the hanger at Dublin Airport would strongly suggest that there is more behind this than what is said openly. Nobody wants to loose face especially a politician. I am fed up with the spins that are put on these matters trying to cover one’s own back side. No accountability and no responsibility for one’s actions.
My questions is, where does honesty enter these discussions, as it seems to me not in this arena.
Where is the consideration for the individuals who are faced with hardship and unemployment in this matter? Where does a dose of reality enter the world of politics?
