Hu Jintao's China is way out of hand, and in many cases is worse than Mao's China. And the completely sick part of this is that western nations like the United States are willing to turn a blind eye on these atrocities just so they can tap into the massive and lucrative market of the new capitalist China.

China's so-called "Communist Party for the people" seems to benefit everyone except the people and the average worker. It's a sad contradiction. China is ran by an oligarchical aristocracy who are now just getting drunk off of the benefits of capital and exploitation and oppression of the people and the average worker. It's a sick realization, but China now seems to comprise of the negative consequences of both systems; plutocracy, corruption, and exploitation from capitalism and a brutal socio-political oppression from authoritarian communist revisionism.

Hundreds of thousands of people were evicted from their homes to make way for the 2008 Summer Olympics for a small recent example. Many workers now work for under a dollar a day. And the ethnic cleansing and colonial take-over of Tibet is only furthering as more and more Tibetan political dissidents and monks are being mass-detained, tortured, and/or killed. More and more Tiananmen Square Massacre-like atrocities are happening across China and especially in Tibet as people are becoming more indignant over the situation and are starting to protest in more numbers.

I think it is most important that we as people of the western nations stand up to this, and not pander to Hu Jintao's government just to profit off of the opening market. Unfortunately, however, I doubt our bourgeois democracy's capability of undertaking that kind of objective with any kind of significant conviction.

That is horrible. I have to agree with Katcz.
Our Government is being funded by China. Nothing will be done because we would lose all the billions being borrowed and our economy would fail. Not to mention we would probably have our collective ass handed to us. Unfourtunately, it seems, our country speading democracy and stopping oppression is only done when considering the bottom line.........$$$$$.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour

There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. ~Alexis de Tocqueville
