China's Foul Play - China

July 2008

Police in Beijing are racing to rid the streets of so-called troublemakers before the Olympic opening ceremony. Their targets are the law-abiding Chinese who go to Beijing to protest against corruption.

If I were the CCP, I would cancel the Olympics and use all the money to build safer coal mines and sturdier school buildings, so that very, very few miners would ever die in the mines and even the worst earthquakes wouldn't make the schools collapse. I would also use the money to give the Chinese people better education and a more affordable healthcare system, and improve the degree of sanitation in the cities. Then I'll be able to show the world: See? Chinese lives are VALUED.

All in all... I have come to a conclusion about communist rule....

Communist rule are incredibly important for developing a country in very less time...

but... communist govt never supports the development of people... neither emotionally, nor physically, nor economically...

But still I am happy with where it is now, but a little improvement would be better

@S1587915G That's certainly a valid sentiment: But the revenue accumulated by the Olympics would far out way the money that it cost to build it.

WHAT EVER CHINA'S HUMAN RIGHT IS IT IS THEIR INTERNAL BUSINESS. USA HAS RACISM FOR OVER 220 YEARS, AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING? AND HOW THIS ISSUE IS BEING DONE?

[DQFXPRESS]

WHITE MEN GAVE OPIUM TO CHINA , WHITE MEN TOOK LAND FROM CHINA, NOW WHITE MEN TELL CHINA WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG. WHAT A JOKE. IF CHINA DID NOT HAVE THE INVASIONS , WE CHINESE DID NOT EVEN HAVE TO MIGRATE TO USA OR CANADA, OR THE REST OF THE WORLD. WHO STARTED THIS INVASIONS AND IMPERIALISM ?

Either way, these are Chinese issues for the Chinese themselves to deal with. The British have no right in saying anything when you're the ones that forcefully flooded us with opium, stole our land, burned down our palaces, and massacred our people. They're the reason that China was poor for the last 150 years. China had a huge trade surplus with Britain until they realized that they could turn it around by selling us opium, despite knowing how addictive it is and banning it in their own country

[Wicklutz]

The points overall are valid, as a very nationalistic Chinese person even I'm disgusted by the amount of corruption in and bullying by the local governments. I do believe that the country is headed in the overall right direction though. Also the video is wrong for portraying the pro-China protesters automatically as a crazy mob. They are showing support for their country in the face of a biased and racist western media and attitudes toward China.

Poor people . . . perhaps someday there will be an Eastern Enlightenment. Now wouldn't that be something!
