I do not agree with BJ fans. I am also a chinese. To be honest,I hate the government very much, CCP is really very bad, it makes most of chinese people poor and painful. Chinese tax burden is nearly the heaviest around the world, but chinese welfare ... [more]

BJ fans said:

Frankly I don't like chinese government. but for this tibet issue, CNN made big and ridiculous mistake.the reporter can not recongize the chinese and nepal police and indian police. Saving HAN chinese was considered as the Tibetian arrested by army m... [more]



Bill said:

Don't you guys think this young naive icelandic girl a little bit overacting? DOes she know very much about Tibet, a mysterious and isolated place as reported by western media? As a Chinese and fan, I favor her voice but not her word. Stay in China ... [more]

Jerry said:

It's pretty obvious that Steven has no clue about what a democracy is. A group of people who rule themselves through a democratic system is already independent - nobody else from the outside is calling the shots. This is exactly what Taiwan has now... [more]

Steven said:

This is artical is extremely biased and makes China sound like some evil dictator. And through this whole artical it just mentions that taiwan is democratic so they should be a country, to my view that's very stupid.... [more]



Dragon Horse said:

Tornado28 is right. China is not at all irrational, they are doing this to send a firm message. There have been a lot of things going on between China and Taiwan lately and the CCP is getting worried. Check it out. pmsol3.wordpress.com/2007/11/30... [more]



Peter K. Su said:

Chinese judge should be barred from WTO court forever.... [more]



Michael said:

The Chinese government is preparing to deal swiftly with demonstrators? It proves that there is no freedom of expression in China. I believe that the United States should not participate in an Olympics where all the players do not have equal rights. ... [more]



Sandy said:

Why do Americans keep buying toys made in China? Haven’t there been enough warnings? I will not be buying any toys from China for my child. I wish that everyone would do the same. Why do we as Americans let this continue to happen? Why doesn't anyon... [more]



Teresa Bursiaga said:

I feel so sorry for all those who live in China and have to see this cruel act to animals and the pain they must be feeling about their pets being slaughterd. We All just need to stop the trade with China and boycott all of their products "Period". ... [more]



Alan Parayno said:

China has already grabbed territory from India in the 1960s when it invaded a part of India. It controls Inner Mongolia. Taiwan, which has Chinese living in it only due to very recent immigration of Chinese only a few centuries back, is being claim... [more]



davee broth said:

China does not deserve 2008 Olympics by Davee Broth When police in Beijing recently prevented the wife of an imprisoned Chinese social activist from going to the Philippines to receive a prestigious international humanitarian award on behalf of her... [more]



Greta Neher said:

One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.... [more]



Maximus2Dali said:

Chinese manufacturers should know better than to allow the products they make for Americans to contain any traces of lead. Maybe this is an attempt to make Americans even dumber than we are now - an dumb population is easier to conquer.... [more]



Anonymous said:

Way to go, keep writing your blog! Also try to emphasize upon China's rapid military buildup and spies training programs that are heavily launched nationwide so that the PRC leaders can get all the latest military and weaponry development informatio... [more]



carolyn woodruff said:

Why doesn't the U.S.A. do the same thing. Ban dangerous drugs, food and medicine from China. At least, try to label them so we know where they're from. I know this is hard with importers not cooperating and the complexity of different products use... [more]



jay said:

This whole matter is a shame for China but really, what do you expect from a one-party dictatorship?... [more]



Kairi Orichalum said:

China has the most populated army in the world. It is not powerful in the least. Would anyone consider 10 toddlers more dangerous than one armed Marine? Same goes for China. Big numbers, outdated equipment, mindless indoctrination... a basketball tea... [more]

Albert Ang Ong said:

China has the most powerful Army in the World. in the long run China will win... [more]

Joe Nunnally said:

It's about time that the American people and our politicians wake up...because china is using the money it has from the huge trade surplus that it enjoys with the U.S. to launch one of the largest military build ups in recent history. China is alread... [more]



jay said:

The Communists from China are more loathed in Tibet than they were 50 years ago. Zhang is fighting a futile battle to control the Tibetans and knows that the only way he can win is by replacing Tibetans with Chinese.... [more]



jay said:

While China acts to thwart the US and other's efforts to help Africa, such as in Darfur, we have fools like Columbia University's Jeffrey Sachs giving talks in China and making statements such as "I think the criticism (of China's action in Africa) b... [more]



Dar said:

Regardless of the motivation of those in the Chinese government, sanctions will hurt the people of Sudan. Sanctions and blockades are simply not effective.... [more]



Carole said:

Comment to "Joe:" Animals are sentient. Also, concern for animals doesn't take anything away from concern for humans. They are one and the same.... [more]

Carole said:

I agree that a boycott of the 2008 Olympics is needed. However, I think the Chinese relationship with Sudan is the least of it. There are plenty of reasons to focus on China itself: human rights abuses, oppression of Tibet, poisoning of food and m... [more]



Brian Anderson said:

We've just posted our cover article from our forthciming issue, Guy Sorman's remarkable "Empire of Lies"--his disturbing travelogue through contemporary China, not just its teeming cities, but it's AIDs-ravaged, alienated countryside. The conclusions... [more]



Makina said:

Hi TAC, I thought you might be interested in reading this piece about Bobby Fletcher who's commented on your blog. He's been all over the blogosphere discrediting the organ harvesting report. Have a look. Western Standard (Alberta): Sowing Confusio... [more]

depa said:

In China, it's not possible to hear one negative word about Hu Jintao. So I don't know what the real Hu is. What I hear, is that he's a great leader of China.... [more]

Ahmet Aydogan said:

Hu is nothing more than an unprincipled thug and a coward. No wonder he only wants to hide the truth from the Chinese people. The CCP is an organization that serves nothing except itself. It is time to elminate it and all of its members. China is... [more]



Stephen said:

Is there a way you could publish the whole article online? I'm inside China, and the site is hard blocked so I can't even get to it with an anonymous proxy.... [more]



jay said:

What are the PRC diplomats doing? Are they contacting and threatening sponsors or tv stations that want to air the program? The PRC's diplomats in the US regularly complain to and threaten governors, mayors, universities etc over any activity they ... [more]



JIANG said:

obviously, Joseph Kahn is a Japanophile-Yankee...... [more]

Joe said:

Is that really so bad though, Mao's regime was far more violent than the present days regime, and surely it's better to ignore it than praise it and try to emulate it... [more]



Joe said:

bobbyfletcher is absolutely fucking disgusting for making a comparison the suffering of non-sentient animals and human beings. People like him are misanthropes who should be ignored... [more]

bobby fletcher said:

Oh please, why don't we take care of our own animal torture? Joel do you know America's factory farm and intense farming practice, while no less cruel (chickens mechanically separated alive, cows disembowled alive, horse hung and blood drained alive.... [more]

Joel said:

What about the Chinese government's widespread disregard of the environmental damage and destruction it willingly pursues to make money. Also, you've totally forgotten to bring to light the incredible abuse and torture of millions of domestic (pet)... [more]



Alex said:

This is valuable post, especially in alerting us to fact that Chinese Internet users are such a young and comparatively poor bunch. After checking the CNNIC report however I did spot an error you might want to correct. The table on page 19 shows that... [more]



Boz said:

The only worry is that these kind of comments become almost the standard of every Western politician who visits China, and nothing actually changes with regard to human rights. Royal has already been criticized by another French presidential candida... [more]

Jay said:

Further to my earlier post - here in Shanghai sermons in the two Catholic Churches and one legal Protestant int'l church must be approved in advance. Anyone that goes to these approved churches here knows how dull these "approved" sermons are. The ... [more]

josh stein said:

the ccp is a "cancer" on the chinese nation and chinese people. the ccp is "enemy of the chinese nation". since 1949, it has subjected china to military-police state. what nation sends army-tanks to run-over un-armed civilians. the death of the c... [more]

Jay said:

What bald-faced lies from the Chinese Foreign Ministry! Religion is tightly controlled by the Chinese Government - anyone living here knows that. There is, for example, only one permitted international Protestant Church in Shanghai - for 17 million ... [more]



josh stein said:

Truth Truth & Truth. The foundation of a nation, of a people, of a culture and the future must be the Truth. China needs a free press so the truth could be known to the chinese people and the world outside. Moore's Law, the doubling of computer p... [more]

China Law Blog said:

What they really need to do is pay some U.S. or British or Australian college student $10 an hour to go around fixing them all. But, this they will never do. My all time favorite is actually Konglish (Korean English). Sign posted outside hotel heal... [more]



Absurdist said:

thanks for putting the full text here, as amnesty.org cant be accessed here in the mainland keep up the good works... [more]



Sifan said:

This sentence is such a farce. What amazes me is the turn-around by the local authorities. They loved Chen Guangcheng when he was representing the disabled or stopping polluters. They even broadcast his wedding on the local news. But the moment... [more]



Makina said:

Bobby Fletcher, do you understand the serious allegations put forth in the Kilgour-Matas report on organ harvesting targeting Falun Gong practitioners across China. ( http://investigation.go.saveinter.net ) The Chinese embassy has formulated a set o... [more]

Michael said:

The Epoch Times, isn't that Falun Gong related ? I would seriously question the content of this story. This ladies last comments 'How many families have suffered because of the family planning policy?' sound just slightly political and un-natural for... [more]

Tim Trimble said:

This is another case of instructors not taking the time to research facilitites before heading out. Stories like this exist in every country and this can usually be traced to the teacher not corresponding with teachers who are working or have worked... [more]



Alexander Christoper said:

What does CHINA and SHANGHAI have against dogs? There seems to be some anti dog mind set which personally I just dont understand. Im most parts of the world...dogs are mans best friend. But obviously this fact isnt known to the current China leaders... [more]



PostGlobal said:

Natasha Hayes said:

It is sad that in 2006 you can not choose which movies you want to watch. If homosexuality "makes you uncomfortable" do not go and see the show. It is that simple! The the saddest thing in the article was reading "homosexulaity" was considered a men... [more]



Ada said:

Join me in writing to chinese embassies asking them to lift the ban on Brokeback Mountain. (515 St. Patrick St., Ottawa, Ontario K1N 5H3; 2300 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20008) or send an email to me, just mark “embassy letter”. Copies of ... [more]



Jay said:

Before moving to Shanghai a few months ago I had heard that people were free to go to churches and temples etc so I've been surprised to what extent the government controls and interferes in these institutions. For example, only foreign passport hold... [more]
