It's clear now that you don't even read and you don't follow news either. I was using NPR to show you that their movement in China was not restricted. If you were reading any of the news report about the China earthquake, you would know that the disaster area at the moment has no communication...

Nonsense. You didn't even read my post. None of the Chinese that I talked to disappeared or were otherwise punished for talking about politics. The blogs I mentioned still have the pictures of the demonstrations there today. The government didn't even bother to take them down. Of course they...

Japan also refused outside help after 1995 Kobe earthquake. Why haven't I heard anyone complaining about Japan being an oppressive regime? BTW, NPR has Robert Seigel and Melissa Bloch right at the epicenter reporting on the earthquake. They have traveled throughout the region, never...

I have to disagree even about the Chinese residents part. After a few drinks, they'll talk to you just like anyone here, complaining about the politics. I've never seen anyone getting punished for these complaints. There are blogs you can easily find (in Chinese) that discuss these political...

I visit China every year. I was free to go anywhere, never had to register with anybody. State does not own a major stake in all business or investments made - they don't in mine (or Walmart for that matter). As for invading and conquering another nation, are you talking about the US in Iraq...

You don't know China then. In China, you have the most capitalist country in the world. You are not property of anybody or anything. You're just yourself. The government controls the media but it does not control the market or the workplace. It's been like that for at least past 20 years.

mschey and jficquette, you guys are disgusting. I didn't know that some petty hatred can blind someone so much.

In addition to paying out insurance policies. (link is in chinese) http://news.xinhuanet.com/newscenter/2008-05/14/content_8171847.htm Basically, they have 110,000 policies in the quake affected area. They have already received 150 claims so far and paid out 26. They will shoulder all...

This one was stunning. The death toll was 830,000. No, I didn't misplace a zero. That was close to a million dead overnight and it was 4.5 centuries ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1556_Shaanxi_earthquake

This has got to be the most moving photo of the earthquake reports from China Caption: "Students read books for the upcoming senior high school entrance exams after an earthquake in Mianyang, Sichuan province May 12, 2008." They have no classrooms, no place to sleep, literally on the...

Another clueless idiot spewing baseless anti-China hate. 1. There is a minimum wage law in China. Guess who are consistently breaking it: http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=14441 "Guangzhou set the minimum wage for part-time workers at 7.5 yuan ($0.97) an hour at the start of this...

Then you had some bad influence from your neighbor to the south. :-)

You're another example of America's failed education system. Now let me explain it really slowly to you. The point is, that the right for self-determination and independence does not require a nation's prior existence. To demand the contrary is simply stupidity. BTW, you forgot Taiwan in...

Western media's attack on China has had the unusual effect of uniting China and Taiwan. Ironic. Notice the woman in the front holding the Taiwan flag wears a t-shirt that says "CNN, Liar; Cafferty, Fire." Evidently Taiwan people don't consider that Cafferty's comment of "goons and thugs" was...

Wow, what a profound thought. :D

The Islamofascists have exactly the same kind of justification.

When you say you're going to a Chinese restaurant, I suppose that you mean you're going to fly to communist China to eat. A racist and a dumb one at that.

Ha. Who are the Bush'es (or Johnson's or anyone else's)? They originally come from Europe's coastal province of ... This is so silly. I'm sure you realize that, don't you? Mochtar Riady was born in Malang, East Java, what is now part of Indonesia in 1929. Google that! And BTW...

He was born in East Java. Last I checked, there were no PLA in East Java. Never have been. You just showed your racist color. Are you going to call Obama a Kenyan?

So an Indonesian has influence on Clinton. Big deal. That's still better than a Saudi having influence on Bush. Maybe you really don't have a clue. You don't know that when you have money, it's easier to make friends with the people in power and use that to your advantage. Why single out an...
