China’s powerful weakness

Posted by Matt in April 29th, 2008

The fiasco of the Olympic torch relay has focused attention on human rights in China. What is the source of human rights abuses in that country today?

Many people assume the problem is that China remains a communist dictatorship and that abuses occur because a strong, centralized state ignores the rights of its citizens. With regard to Tibet and the suppression of the religious movement Falun Gong, this may be right. But the larger problem in today’s China arises out of the fact that the central Chinese state is in certain ways too weak to defend the rights of its people.

The vast majority of abuses against the rights of ordinary Chinese citizens — peasants who have their land taken away without just compensation, workers forced to labor under sweatshop conditions or villagers poisoned by illegal dumping of pollutants — occur at a level far below that of the government in Beijing.

Human rights abuses in China
Mainland Affairs Council Chairman Joseph Wu on Friday met with three human rights activists from the United States and Canada. Two of these were the co-authors of a controversial report on human rights abuses in China. The report says that China has harvested organs from executed Falun Gong practitioners. The activists called on Taiwan to oppose such human rights abuses in China. Wu said that Taiwan was concerned about Falun Gong members in China, as well as other groups who have been subject to human rights abuses. Wu said, "As well as the harm that Falun Gong has suffered in China, churches that meet in private homes and Muslims in Xinjiang have also suffered at the hands of the Chinese authorities. If these [abuses] are added together, I think that we in Taiwan as well as people...

Prime Minister Stephen Harper Ignores China Bullying
Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Monday held formal talks with the Dalai Lama, becoming the first Canadian leader to ignore China's warnings. Imposing compulsory vows of silence is an affront to our athletes, and in China it will be viewed as acquiescence.

Dalai Lama Popular in Canada
China Olympic will go down for human rights abuses. Chinese repression in Tibet had gotten "certainly worse" since China was awarded the Olympics in 2001. The Bible will be restrict to international Olympic goer. There are no Baptist or Evangelical or Muslim practice freely in China. China supports Sudan government for the Darfur genocide, and Burma government killing protesters and a Japanese Journalist. China has sold weapons to the Sudanese government and defended Khartoum in the U.N. China was the closest ally of the communist Khmer Rouge, under whose brutal rule up to two million Cambodians died of starvation, disease or execution during the late 1970s. Please let the world know the truth about China!

Why the World against China Occupies in Tibet? Oppression
China rhetoric lambasting the Dalai Lama, the exiled, Tibetan-Buddhist spiritual leader, the Beijing government might be locking itself into a policy and public-relations-disaster corner from which it could be hard to crawl out in years to come. Any act to disrupt the Olympic torch relay is a shamefulness to China and a disgrace for Chinese citizen. China 's image more damage and unpopular.

The incident started when activists hung a "Free Tibet" banner in the Chinese Ethnic Culture Park, said human rights group Students For A Free Tibet. Ray was dragged into a nearby restaurant and held down by officers who also stamped on his hands, onlookers said. Speaking by telephone from the back of the police van, he said: "I have been roughed up. They dragged me, pulled me and knocked me to the ground. Now they are filming me.
