Chinese Government Bribes, Beats Parents of Dead Children to Enforce Silence
Just in case anyone had forgotten that the Chinese government is utterly evil:
China Presses Hush Money on Grieving Parents
They even beat a pregnant woman for protesting! Yet George W. Bush and the world community continue to grovel to them. What's even more ironic is that according to a report I heard on NPR this morning, the vast majority of Chinese citizens believe that the world generally holds China in high regard and admiration.
In fact, of course, world opinion is quite the reverse. Why do so many people in China have a completely distorted understanding of world opinion? Because their government controls the media, of course!
I'm tempted to draw a parallel with the many American idiots who were so sure that Saddam had been responsible for 9-11.
Sorry, I'm sure almost everybody knows about all this. It's just that I'm feeling particularly outraged this morning.
