Why, have they run out of tanks?

They are so afraid to have another Tienanmen Square debacle. Need to put a good public face for the world to admire, while they rape the world's economies.

That whole area in the park is roped off and its verboten to take any pictures of that section. I did snap a few on the side, you know how us stoopid Americans are.

Employees of a Singaporean electronics firm Hi-P International in Shanghai went on strike last week over mass job losses.
Thousands of workers in Shenzhen and Dongguan, two of China's top export centres in the south of the country, went on strike last month protesting cuts in overtime.

Must have come as quite a culture shock to the leadership.

The internet is the Chinese government's worst enemy

In my opinion, keep the government there, just days of anarchy and rebellion is going to be horrible in the current state of chinese society

Looks like somebody wants to have a bigger budget.
And I love the word "social management", so beautiful bureaucratic!

I call shenanigans.

They have no compulsion on "whacking" mob style any dissidents. Tiananmen square proved that.

If you are ever in China google (or baidu) tiananmen square, I bet the results will be vastly different than what you get in your home country.

My pet peeve is how we continually harass a loudmouth with no bite, like Iran/N korea. Yet leave fellow UN leader, and repeated human rights violator like China alone.

Oh Yeah Russia, Their eternal UN buttbuddies, I forgot they want a rematch of the cold war...

How about we dissolve the UN, it would die without US funding and wargear...

Then we would be the a-holes right? We always are.

I suspect that part is correct.

Gerald · 12-05-11, 04:46 PM

U.S., has quite a debt to the UN, and UN needs U.S.

'Respectfully'....rubbish!!
