Belly
I agree with you! We should be very carefull with China! They violate human rights, they violate basic democratic values, they opress chinese people!
My good friend we sold our seoul to evil long time ego! our leaders does not care at all for human rights, for democracy or for our long term interests.
We have problems Belly, we have lost our direction, our compass we are going to NOWHERE, CHEAP, IRRISPONSIBLE POLITICIANS WORLDWIDE, CARE ONLY FOR TEMPORARY BENEFITS AND DOES NOT CARE AT ALL FOR OUR BASIC VALUES, FOR OUR DEMOCRATIC VALUES, FOR WESTERN CIVILIZATION!
We lost my friend, we lost, the moneyees, the corporatiopns, the Murdochs have bought or control everything in western countries, for them China is a big market, a big producer of Cheap products, for them CHINA MEANS BIG PROFITS AND THEY CARE ONLY FOR THE PROFITS and we are weak and IDIOTS as usualy!
For me China is a big threat for our civilization, a big threat for human values, but WE LOST SIR, WE LOST!
As political parties break their connections with the citizens, as the parties depend more and more from corporations and mass media, as we, the citizens are ready to sell our seoul to evil for more money, for better carieer, the HOPE FOR A BETTER WORLD, THE HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE IS LIMITED!
China is wining the war, westerns are losing and are losing because we are governed from immature politicians because big corporations and mass media control our system!
There are not many human rights DEFENDERS in this country, there are not many human rights DEFENDERS in our WORLD!
HYPOCRITIES AND DISHONEST PEOPLE AMBUSHED THE CARAVAN OF OUR CIVILIZATION!
EVIVA THE RESISTANCE TO AUTHORITARIAN REGIMS AND BIG CORPORATIONS!

Well it seems we are not going to get involved in talking about world trade, China and its future its plans a lot more.
In fact if not world trade what do we have?
I wonder what others think, if we forgot wealth and targeted a better world would every one?
We need Chinas trade, rubbish or not people buy what they sell us, once the rubbish was said to come from Japan.
AS raises fears near xenophobia,but be honest bloke, the world is getting better.
Yes we have problems, yes international finance is a concern, but give me another way we can exist .
Whistler in a country that has a woman second from the very top job, you see only womens issues, blindly so.
Can you understand Chinese women are at the least not likely to want what you want for them?
Look at problems your sex faces in middle eastern country's, find a way to help them, you will win my admiration but unfocused posts?

Defend online freedom of expression in China
Amnesty International is concerned that Chinese Internet service providing companies, including Baidu, Sina and Sohu, are complying with Chinese government requests and demands to censor content online and otherwise repress the rights to freedom of expression and privacy. Call on these companies to ensure the Internet fulfills its potential to empower and educate and to create global communities.

Take action

As a member of Amnesty International, I am writing to express my deep concern over the blatant violation of the rights of Internet users in the People’s Republic of China to information, privacy and freedom of expression. Access to and the use of the Internet is highly restricted and at least 50 people are imprisoned for peacefully exercising their right to freedom of opinion and expression in China. According to Amnesty International, numerous websites were closed down.

The Internet is a global space where people from all over the world can come together to freely exchange information and share ideas. It has the potential to empower and educate and to create global communities. The effective protection and enjoyment of other human rights depends upon the enjoyment of the right to freedom of expression.

All Internet service providers must ensure that the rights of Internet users to information, privacy and freedom of expression are protected and upheld. Internet service providers must increase transparency and disclose all policies to users that would result in blocking access to information or providing governments with user information. Government demands for limitations of freedom of expression or privacy must be met by Internet service providers with a request for the legal basis for such an action. Finally, when government-sanctioned restrictions are inconsistent with international human rights standards, Internet service providers have a social responsibility to challenge those restrictions in domestic courts.

The Internet must be maintained as a positive force for the free exchange of information and ideas, not as a tool to curtail basic and inherent human rights. Internet service providers worldwide can no longer ignore their responsibility to protect and advance rights to freedom of expression and privacy. I trust you will assume your undeniable responsibility as an Internet service provider to ensure that the rights of Internet users are protected and upheld no matter the demands of a government acting to undermine international human rights standards.

Belly my sex is male [ http://2mf.net/philip.htm ] and my primary
concern is equal rights.
i consider that if women and men achieve equal rights all groups comprised of
women and men will achieve equal rights.
moreover, Australia's constitution currently provides for men's legislatures only.
i expect Australia will take the lead in global trade by including
the first women's legislature of the modern era in a republic,
with trade conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures and committees.
i further expect that any nation trading with Australia will be required to
submit to equal rights, and as i posted earlier, from anecdotal evidence i see
no problem for this with China.
neither do i expect much resistance will occur in the Islamic world and cite
the recent protests from women in Iran to the rule of the mullahs as evidence.
