Hi John and Doves,
There is something innately evil about a regime who will imprison and torture their own people. China.
Yet, I find the articles coming out about China so two-faced and hypocritical. The world was always more than willing to use China as a "factory floor" ....so much cheaper than manufacturing stuff in our own countries, you understand. Turn a blind eye to the slave labour stories, why don't we. Mainstream media don't print much about it, so why should we ordinary folk give a damn?
China has ensured that the world's manufacturing industry is now reliant on it's "factory floor". Major business is going to bend over backwards (in China's mind) to ensure the status quo continues. One only has to look at the rising tensions between Australia and China. Australia is sounding the alarm and China is virtually smirking in Australia's face. Reason being is that China has made Australia reliant on her exports to China. China knows that Australia will lose out enormously if they lose their China market. China relies on western greed. Methinks China has miscalculated, somewhat. Greed works fine...to a degree. Currently - judging by the article in the link - China feels confident in telling the world what to do. In my opinion, they have played their hand too soon.
Going by the medieval methods China has always used on her people - she has no real idea of how other cultures truly operate. Judging us by our politicians does not portray the reality.
We are living in the end times.
