http://www.marketwatch.com/story/google-sees-china-disruptions-at-license-deadline-2010-06-30 Why should an american company be able to go into China and tell them how to run their affairs? When you are in another country, you MUST follow their laws or pay the price. Good on China for standing up for themselves!
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2010-06/30/content_10037427.htm More evidence of China's growing might. america has kowtowed to the demands of the Chinese on the issue of arms sales to Taiwan. The evidence is growing that when a Great Nation stands up for themselves, they can do their part to create a much more fair and peaceful world.
ORLY? Ending the silence on China's Uighur repression By Carl Gershman Monday, July 5, 2010 A year ago today, when Chinese police violently suppressed a peaceful protest by the Uighur minority in Urumqi, the capital of the western region of Xinjiang, the world essentially looked the other way. This is the message of "Can Anyone Hear Us?" a report that the Uyghur Human Rights Project recently issued on the unrest. Drawing on eyewitness accounts, the report details the firing on protesters that led to hundreds of deaths, as well as mass beatings, the arbitrary detention of thousands and a 10-month communications shutdown that cut off the region from the outside world. At a Washington conference last week where the report was released, an eyewitness testified that he saw police handing out steel batons to mobs of Han Chinese, confirming reports that security forces fomented anti-Uighur violence. This Story Democracy in trouble Freedom in retreat China's invisible atrocity Beijing has blamed "overseas hostile forces" for the violence, especially Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer, who was exiled to the United States from a Chinese prison in 2005. But the source of the unrest is entirely internal, the immediate cause being an attack on Uighur workers at a Guangdong toy factory 10 days before the Urumqi protests. The presence of Uighur workers 3,000 miles east of Urumqi illustrates China's anti-Uighur policy, which encourages Han Chinese settlement and employment in the western Xinjiang region while jobless Uighurs, especially young women, are recruited to work in factories in eastern China. The focus on women is not accidental, Kadeer explained at the Washington conference: "We believe that it is part of the authorities' efforts to threaten our continuity as a people because they are taking these women out of their communities at the time they would be getting married and starting families." In fact, the population transfer that is altering Xinjiang's ethnic composition is one dimension of a systematic Chinese policy that threatens the survival of the Uighur people. The Uighur language has been virtually eliminated from school instruction, while hundreds of books on Uighur history and culture have been banned and even ceremoniously burned. The Uighurs' Muslim faith is under attack as religious personnel are forced to undergo "patriotic re-education" and the construction of mosques is strictly controlled. Not least, Chinese authorities are in the process of demolishing the Old City of Kashgar, forcibly removing 200,000 people in 65,000 households and destroying what has been called "the cradle of Uyghur culture." U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called the plan to demolish 22 Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem "provocative" and "contrary to international law." But the wholesale destruction of Old Kashgar and the entire Uighur culture merits not a word. As George Orwell said with Stalin in mind, "the most enormous crimes . . . can actually escape notice altogether, so long as they do not happen to fit in with the political mood of the moment." Clearly, the awful plight of the Uighurs does not fit with the political mood of this moment, even among their co-religionists in the Muslim world. The report released last week contains recommendations to the Chinese government and the international community. What is noteworthy about the recommendations to Beijing -- for media freedom and the rule of law, as well as for acknowledgement of the underlying causes of the Urumqi protests -- is that they are consistent with the principles and goals in the Charter 08 declaration signed by more than 8,000 Chinese citizens, including the call for a federated republic "within which all ethnic and religious groups can flourish." Chinese democrats and the Uighur minority are threatened by the extreme nationalism that the Beijing government incites to gain legitimacy in the absence of democratic authority derived from popular consent. The dialogue they have begun in exile needs to resonate in China through the extensive communication channels that the regime cannot altogether block, thereby countering nationalist hatred and reinforcing a common commitment to nonviolence and a different future for China. Much can also be done by the international community. A resolution introduced by Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass.) would have the United States raise the issue of Uighur rights in meetings with Chinese officials, request that embassy staff be allowed to observe trials and seek to establish a consulate in Urumqi. The United States and the international community should also support the Uighurs' three-month-old call for an independent international investigation into the events of last July and the opening of a meaningful dialogue with Chinese authorities. Uighur voices have been crying in the wilderness. It's time to listen. The writer is president of the National Endowment for Democracy.
In the us, corrupt and evil officials are often celebrated, promoted, and emboldened to take their evil to new heights. look at what happens to corrupt officials in The Great Nation: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2010-07/08/content_10078791.htm Uh oh. Can you imagine how scared at least half of american officials will be as The Great Nation's influence begins to spread to america... Oh, this just in! China launches a world wide 24 hour news station based in.... New York City! http://www1.voanews.com/english/new...-24-Hour-English-TV-Broadcasts--97580379.html China's positive and responsible strides towards bringing equality to the world will now be heard by all.
I was very happy to read that PM John Key is standing up for my country! Good on you mate! "I made it quite clear to him actually that New Zealand reserves the right to protest and he indicated to me that he accepted that, understood that and acknowledged that that was part of the New Zealand way of life." http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10657379
Last line of the article from barefoots post #87 link #2 : "China is basically a one-party state, where there are still strict limits on freedom of speech." Do you even read your own linked articles Barefoot'? ZW
I only have one question for you. If China is so wonderful, peaceful, great to it's citizens and all you say it is, then why are you going to move to New Zealand and not your beloved China?
Before I made my responsible and truthful post yesterday, I said to myself "There will be other less responsible and biased parties who seek to distort and alter the truth" Armed with this knowledge, I cleverly cited an article from VOA news (voice of america). The americans are very biased against the Chinese, and the advent of this wonderful news source is to serve as a balance to the misinformation that is fed to americans. Of course the voice of america is going to try to discredit a Chinese news source by writing harsh statements about The Great Nation... and of course (I already knew, remember!), like good sheep, certain parties will regurgitate misinformation without engaging in the thoughtful analysis required to form a valid opinion. I wish to thank these individual(s) for fulfilling what I and The Great People already knew, and thus validating the need for a truly fair and balanced news source. The Great Nation only seeks fairness and peace for all people. Why are some people so against fairness and peace?
New Zealand is the land of the Maori. Beautiful New Zealand has more Maori than China, and I will only marry a Maori woman. Also going barefoot is so common in NZ that I'll fit right in from day 1. I'm basically a Kiwi stuck in America, and I want to go back to my country! Cheers!
Haha, I am dating a Chinese girl. I had her read some of your posts, she laughed and has one word: Naive.
My people are in China, and the Chinese LOVE them!! Article titled "Expo visitors step into Maori's world", and it's happening today! http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2010expo/2010-07/11/content_10091391.htm
Ni Hao! So now the Great People will ALL be bilingual, the other required language being english. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2010-07/10/content_10089843.htm How many americans know, or are learning a Chinese language (aside from me!). There are many reasons that The Great Nation will lead the world, two being that they embrace knowledge and they always engage in responsible and moral behavior. I recently bought a book about the rise of China, and I will post various snippets and whatnot from the book as I progress through it. CHINA POWER!!!
Hate to tell you this. India is going to be the next giant as far as economic power. Investing in Latin America indeed China is. But you have never been to Latin America or Africa have you? So there is no way you could see what has been happening there. You also have never been to China to see the people and the factories. If you have it would make you sick how the workers are being exploited and forced to work in unsafe and unsanitary conditions. It amazes me how stupid your opinions are.
I LIVE in China. There are plenty and plenty of people who speak just one language. Plenty! Not that there is anything wrong with that, but to claim large amounts of bilingual people is insane. And my (Chinese) gf still finds your posts naive. She agrees with Unknown American. Stop trolling.
I'm not surprised that certain individuals have turned to name-calling and making false claims to enhance their credibility. So typical haha! Everything that I post is true, and I back it up, yet certain people will stop at nothing to demonize any idea contrary to theirs. Keep hiding those heads in the sand. when you pull them out you will see The Great Nation and The Great People leading the world! CHINA POWER!
Ni Hao! China haters. Please analyze the following statements from peopledaily.com "The U.S. side should calmly accept the fact that China will be a military power in the future and abandon the arrogance and superiority that come from its military strength. It is also necessary to make the United States realize that nothing can hold back China's military modernization. Blockades, sanctions and containment can only worsen Sino-U.S. military ties. The only way forward is to welcome and accept the rise of China's military." and "The two military forces should abide by the relevant regulations regarding international maritime affairs, collision avoidance in the high seas and so on. So far, the surveillance activities by the U.S. warships and military aircrafts near China's coastal areas are most likely to cause accidents. We need to tell the United States to consider China's perspective. For instance, if China's warships and aircraft were to conduct surveillance along the east and west coastlines of the United States, how would U.S. leaders respond? " http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90001/90780/91343/7062383.html It is clear to me that one party is an aggressor, and the other is peacefully expanding it's military in order to be able to defend ALL if its interests both foreign and abroad. Please explain why China is wrong and america is right. Cheers!
