China's Protests and Riots Worry CCP

Follow us on TWITTER: twitter.com Like us on FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com According to a study released by Sun Liping, professor at Tsinghua University, 180000 domestic protests and riots have occurred in 2010, more than three times the tally from a decade earlier. As the National Day of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) October 1st is approaching, tens of thousands of petitioners have gathered in Beijing. The CCP authorities have been on guard and have begun large-scale arrests. Scholars and experts comment that the CCP's dictatorship and its acts of cruelty will eventually drive the Chinese masses to undertake a revolution similar to the Libyan one. The Wall Street Journal's article titled " Unrest Grows as Economy Booms ", said that the unrest isn't confined to the ethnic minority areas of Tibet and Xinjiang. Many protests stem from everyday economic injustices, including land grabs by developers, abuses of power by local officials, or unpaid wages by construction firms. Zhao Yuanmin analyzed that the CCP's policy of allowing some people to be the first to get rich, has created a crop of interest groups based solely on CCP officials. They haven't brought along other people who could get rich afterwards, but instead got involved in more and more corruptions, triggering Chinese civilians to live with hardship. Zhao Yuanmin says: "CCP's dictatorial nature shows that whatever its regime or government, both totally disregard civilians but for a handful of people. All its ...

Hong Kong and Macau (China): Asia Globetrotter 2008 (3/4)

www.nomadicsamuel.com Where east meets west, a popular slogan to describe Hong Kong really nails exactly what this sprawling metropolis is all about. Owing much to its British colonial days in terms of architecture and unique transportation the city itself is a pressure cooker of population density gone wild, yet somehow manages to efficiently retain its charm. Macau, a former Portuguese coloney, on the other hand is where the rich & powerful of Asia come to throw around the dice on a long weekend. Considered the Las Vegas of Asia it has a lot more to offer than just casinos, although there are plenty of them! Both HK and Macau are SAR (special administrative regions) of China - one government two systems policy.

Chinese Regime Censors Retired CCP Officials' Call for Freedom of Speech

The Chinese regime has censored an open letter published earlier this week calling for freedom of speech. The letter is signed by a group of former senior communist party officials and was sent to the regime's National People's Congress. It urges the de facto legislative body to dismantle the regime's censorship machine. Twenty three former senior Chinese Communist Party officials are calling on the ruling regime to allow freedom of speech and press in the country. But as soon as their letter was published, it's was removed from Chinese websites. The group of retired communist party elders, including the former publisher of the state-run People's Daily, sent the open letter on Monday to the regime's de facto legislative body. The letter urged the National People's Congress, or NPC, to uphold the constitution and abolish the country's system of censorship. The letter describes the regime's Central Propaganda Department as an "invisible black hand," and questions why it has the authority to censor recent calls by Premier Wen Jiabao for political reform. [Yu Meisun, Supporter of Open Letter]: "The Central Propaganda Department is firstly led by the Party Central, and cannot go above the Party Central. So the Communist Party's central has its own rules of operations. It does not really want to realize democracy or rule of law, and so it would of course suppress freedom of speech." One of the signatories of the open letter Xin Zhiling, former director of the editorial desk at ...
