    Are you joking or something? John Vause of CNN has been there since the earthquake. BBC has been there too. AP and Reuters claimed they had been there also. So at least two of them are lying if your wife was right.

    Remember, you must publish it in Chinese.

    Chinese are not dumb, they can and do learn English. If the information is interesting, someone will probably translate it eventually. Of course, to reach the wider population, Chinese is needed.

    I lived in China for 23 years, I know how much English common Chinese speak.

    3) Publish a website that shows ALL the stuff that China does not want their citizens to see/read/hear so that the entire rest of the world can see/read/hear it and know what Chinese government types have censored from their own people.

    Are you sure Chinese care?

    Most don't even know they're being censored. I work in China, and trust me, the ones that do know, do care. Just teach them to use things like Tor, or other ways to bypass the censorship.

    As far as I understand, they all know they have been censored, they all know they don't have the rights. But they have been living in even worse situation for several thousand years, they are getting better and better, even though slowly. So many of them are very happy about their current and future situation. Moreover, as what I have mentioned before, Chinese know they have been censored, and they are eager to know the other side of the story. And after they know enough, most of them hit a culture barrier and they turn back. The culture barrier between eastern and western culture. Then those who overcome the culture barrier, the elite, the people beyond cultures and countries, realize that other countries don't offered what they want either and they turn back. I do know a lot of people in person using TOR in China.

    Personally, I believe that no one should be buying ANYTHING made in China. Yes, I know it's next to impossible but I would spend an extra 10% to support companies from my country that make competing products to Chinese products.

    Go ahead.

    I'm going to keep buying stuff from China. But then I don't have much choice, I live here :-) But when I leave here, I'm sure I'll keep buying it. As long as it is a good price, and of good quality, why not? I'm not going to be petty...

    The entire China issue is completely out of hand, and the best way IMO to stop it is to stop dealing with them. Stop buying from them. Stop selling to them. Do not go to the Olympics either. Don't watch the Olympics. In fact, I say we censor China altogether from the world's information, business dealings etc. Don't let them invest in anything anywhere else in the world. Lock up their assets that reside outside of China, close their Embassies... everything.

    Wet dreams. This never worked on a country with more than 1 billion people. BTW, do you ever realize how much US assets in China?

    Didn't work for Cuba, didn't work for North Korea... There is a history of such things, it doesn't work, learn it. (To GP)

    Yes, that will eventually hurt their people but it is their people that must overthrow the government in charge at this point.

    You are very smart at this point, but if their people rise up and overthrow your government...

    BTW, when you guys are discussing wet dreams, Chinese are fighting a fscking earth quake, I hope you realize what you care and what Chinese care, and what is the distance between them. And if you want to have Chinese listen to you, what you should do.

    You forget the sarcastic label, right?

    There is no reason to hurt the people... Once again, the repressive regimes of NK and Burma hurt the people a lot, but I don't see anyone revolting. Besides, overall people in China have a lot of freedom, and most have good lives, food to eat, things to do. And the situation is improving rapidly.

    Except, there is possibly different ways to say 'Fuck China': 1) Publish and push data all the way into their living rooms until they cut off the Internet for their people completely.

    By spamming?

    2) Publish in a flippant way: publish maps but when it comes to China put a graphic that says sensored by assholes in China.

  16. Re:They're Right on Chinese Blogs, Netizens React To the Tibet Issue · · Score: 1

    To get this strait, I hope you firstly understand that before 1959, the Tibetan area was serfdom. 95% percent of Tibetan are serf or slaves with 5% percent of landlords. Lamas are landlords too.

    Around 1958 and 1959, CCP began to emancipate Tibet serfs at an area called Kangxi. Serfs got land, and landlords became government officials or something alike. But as you may expected, some of those landlords are not happy with the arrangement. They ran to Dalai Lama, and Dalai Lama lead them to India. Then there was the first uprising at Lahsa. In a book called "China: the Country Americans Are Not Allowed to Know", the author wrote âoeEven western sources never estimated that more than 20,000 were involvedâ¦this does not sound like mass support.â I think you know why.

    After that, the Dalai Lama was supported by CIA, he has his soldiers trained at Colorado. For more information, there is a book called "The CIA's Secret War in Tibet".

    After Dalai Lama fled, CCP emancipated all serfs in whole Tibetan area.

    Now the CCP government gives a lot of financial support to Tibet. People in Tibet don't pay tax. Farmers get free fertilizer, free seeds. People get financial aid when they build house. The one child per family policy doesn't apply to Tibetan and other minorities at all. The central government pay allowance to Lamas. When Tibetan and other minority kids go to college, they got additional points on their equivalent of SAT. After they when to college, they got financial aid because they are minorities. Now the average income of Tibetan is much higher Chinese in other areas. CCP also building many hospitals, don't let me start the hospital in Tibet before 1959. You can ask others if you really want to know.

    If someone say that Chinese people need more right, I agree. But if some people say that in China, minorities are badly treated by Han Chinese. I consider it's outrageous. When I was a young kid, I asked my father, why we are not some kind of minorities? My father asked why, and I said because it is so good to be minorities.

    Hope this explains.
