China's Great Leap: Human Rights Watch on the Beijing Games and Olympian Human Rights Challenges

no one says china is perfect, but it is pretty perfect in comparison with western countries who have invaded countless number of countries making the natives their slaves. i think that is worse than what china has done in the past, dont you? china has invaded about 3 countries max (you could hardly call taiwan a country)...what about europeans? they have invaded practically whole world.

Ohh now Chinese people knows how Arabs feel, doesent feel right when the Western countrys like US call you a terrorist state is it ? China and the Arab countrys should unite which they did in the year 860. They were the richest country in the world. And boycott the damn Liar western people, from USA and England etc. That way we can sell our oil for 10 times the price to them

both the Tibetan monks and the chinese government are just pawns in the game played by the illuminati. I cant believe how much the left is fooled by these monks and the dalai lama. everyone should do their research and see how the tibetans lived before they were LIBERATED by the Maoist in the 1950's. Of course China is not Maoist anymore so they are along with all chinese oppressed. forget Tibet Free China and the world! Free your mind!

If you want to know why the migrant worker wearing flip flop in the chinese transition period, Please go to china and find out why they want to work hard in big city rather than living in a poor village.

Chinese government do care about these workers. Please learn chinese language and find out what effort chinese government have done and any improvement of their living standards.

It is so heartening to see so many westen people care about China's People, including tibetans, but it is so disappointing to learn how limited their knowledge about China is, and how ignorant they have been by acting on poorly informed conscience.
