Learning to slam dunk 04:35am on 12 Aug 2008 Quote James “The slam was once seen in China as selfish, individualistic, and possibly even morally corrupt - therefore, entirely unsuitable for a diligent, loyal Communist.”

Dear James, how do you know? Clearly, your Chinese skill is not good enough for a smooth communication.

Please refrain from repeating a cold war propaganda which is indoctrinated during your childhood.
Opening ceremony cool - for some 4:15pm on 09 Aug 2008 How can James miss the ecstatic cheers of the Chinese people to their nation and leaders?

The Western propaganda falls apart with the slightest common sense.
Fireworks night 7:18pm on 06 Aug 2008 Show case 1 -- democracy in Kenya, you forget how many people are slaughtered in Kenya. The blood creates rivers. The stinky bodies attract wild animals. Yes, democracy kills. It is not indirect poverty or chaos that kills people. Democracy leads to direct massacres. The elected Kenya PM is butchered. This is what the West wants to see. The dumbness of Africans are partially to blame. They really think they can become Europe by "voting". LMAO.

Show case 2 - Catholic democracy - East Timor army disintegrated into warring factions. The government collapsed amid widespread looting, arson, gang warfare. UN appointed Nobel winning president was gunned down, followed by the slaying of popular rebel commander and his bodyguard by Australian troops.

"Our leaders always fight" said a street vendor who has lived with her four children in a tent after machete-wielding gangs drove them from their home.

It is your childish indoctrination to believe your politicians answerable to the people. Voting gives you absolutely nothing. Democracy is a childish joke. Politicians are not responsible for the people. They are funded by CEOs, mafias and religion. They cannot care any less about ordinary people. The politicians simply lie. You are "voting" for a shade. You have no clue about the money and power play behind the scene.

Please stop forcing democracy onto China. Thanks.
Freedom in China 7:10pm on 06 Aug 2008 "It was important for us that there be a clear voice speaking out against the Chinese government's abuse of human rights," the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition in Washington, told AP by telephone afterward.

They erected a banner in front of communist strongman Mao Zedong's mausoleum that said "Christ is King" and knelt and prayed in Tiananmen Square.

Obviously, they are not shot as they angrily predicted earlier.

Enjoy Freedom in China!
A cup of tea with China's police 7:03pm on 06 Aug 2008 "It was important for us that there be a clear voice speaking out against the Chinese government's abuse of human rights," the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition in Washington, told AP by telephone afterward.

To cover or not to cover 7:00pm on 06 Aug 2008 "It was important for us that there be a clear voice speaking out against the Chinese government's abuse of human rights," the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition in Washington, told AP by telephone afterward.

Freedom in China 7:49pm on 05 Aug 2008 #87 dj1979, how many minorities are killed in the UK race riots? Are these taboos in the UK society?

Sincerely, you need to learn to speak Chinese. Otherwise, your childhood indoctrination kicks in, and you persistently misinterpret the Chinese things.

You should also respect the Chinese way of life. Christians always want to convert.
Freedom in China 5:40pm on 04 Aug 2008 Dear James,

Most Westerners dismiss the Chinese democracy without any knowledge about it. The current Chinese political system is an evolving animal. It is worthy of a million dollar academic research.

As early as 20 years ago, I was encouraged to vote for district and neighborhood People’s representatives. Contact information and telephone numbers of these People’s representatives are publicized. The People’s representatives elect a percentage among themselves to participate in the Chinese People’s Congress. Various interests groups, no-CPC political parties, ethnic minorities and the Chinese army also arrange representatives to the Congress. China is hugely populous. This several-layered democracy is effect and cheap to maintain. The People’s representatives get absolutely no benefit by voting yes. They think in terms of their interests groups or home districts. If they do not do a good job, they will not be chosen.

In the country side, people can elect whoever they like. Although the candidates are all of the CPC party, the election is mostly non-partisan. People are chosen based on their individual merits. Every villager knows each other anyways.

The current Chinese system is NOT ANY WORSE than the political systems in the UK and US.

Westerners tend to think the current freedom of China is something new. Westerners listen to horrific stories during their childhood. They see the current China as a society changed. The truth is that China and the Chinese people have not changed any.

During the extreme “suppression” of Culture Revolution, Chinese youth could easily over-throw their Communistic bosses. Westerners today have no such power. Throughout Chinese history, all the dynasties are over-thrown by the Chinese people with amazing ease. Chinese people enjoy the BEST freedom on earth through out their history. The West mistakes Confucius-way-of-RESPECT as suppression.

How can I explain this?

Hmm, think this way, the smart Yellow Emperor set a system in China where the nation and its government is the church. The leader is the Pope. However, the “Pope” is required to listen to the people. As early as Tang Dynasty, the Chinese emperor is recorded as saying he is a servant of the Chinese people. So, the Church is not religious (in Western civilizations sense) and the leader can be dismissed if he fails to deliver. The West has a lot to learn.
Freedom in China 5:15pm on 04 Aug 2008 I spend 20 years in China; then 20 years in the US. China actually treats her people BETTER than the West. Chinese people enjoy BETTER freedom of thoughts and freedom of religion. China is MORE open than the West. China is never truly communistic. At the height of the Culture Revolution,youths easily over-threw their commy leaders.Today, Chinese companies negotiate tax with government.I notice many Eastern Europeans have significant different views.Eastern Europe is totally different from China.
