I love Chinese culture, Chinese language, Chinese people. But the Chinese government scares me.

China takes away freedoms of the people openly, the USA does it quietly.

Mao was the biggest mass murderer that ever was. Idiots in China back then (like now) fail to make a distinction between "hating China" and "hating Chinese". The problem will get worse for Chinese because it is now full of "one-childs". That means they are more sensitive and aggressive with criticism then even during the time of Mao.

Are you sure these guys are Chinese haters? Or do you think it possible that their hate is directed only at thr corrupt and brutal CCP who feed only lies to us Chinese people?

[fhahahahaha]

haha, talk about freedom, where is the freedom of the women in Islamic world? How many wives do you Chinese-haters have? A lots, i guess.

so corrupt they are all on the take. No justice in China.. Thanks God for the USA and freedom is spreading it make take a long time, it is contagious, and I trust it will get there. I hope before th end. You should not have to hide underground to pray to Jesus. God & Jesus will reward that. Lord bless the suffering, let them know they will be comforted.

"Breaking News" Protester throws shoe at Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in Britain "This dictator here, how can you listen to the lies he's telling? How can the university prostitute itself with this dictator?", "Free Tibet" he said. Audience members retorted: "Shame on you, shame on you."

Then in reality you must be a very sad person. China does not need a bunch of hippies running the country.

What the fuck are you talking about? Just because I say something is "pro-Palestinian" doesn't mean it's a bad thing. If I said you were pro-peace, would you take that as an insult?

Stop being a retard.
