Ai Weiwei Skateboard Decks, by sakyamuni on Oct 1, 2013 9:52:39 GMT 1, i am quite amazed to read so much ignorance in the recent posts. Guys, human rigts is not about deciding who's right and wrong,it is about principles created to defend ordinary citizens against the state. You may think that a lot of things are wrong in the West, and they are, but that doesn't change the fact that China is today a police state where it is almost impossible to challenge the State, however wrong and brutal they can be. You seem to forget that by denying the situation faced by millions of chinese citizens, you are insulting their suffering and fate. Many chinese are daily trying to voice their opinion, demonstrating in the streets, taking great risks, more than you ever will, often beaten and arbirtarily arrested, member of their families disappearing. But they do try and fight for what they think is right. Why don't you try to explain to these people that they live in a nice place and that as the situation can be worst in the US they should not complain and thank their leaders for so much kindness. They don't care about the situation in the West, they just want a better life in their own country. They deserve support and admiration. You sound a lot like the western youth of the 70s who was in love with the Red khmer regime and the chinese revolution, so pure ! So exotic ! Open your eyes and mind to the suffering of ordinary people, this is all that matters, leave politics to politicians.

Ai Weiwei Skateboard Decks, by sakyamuni on Sept 30, 2013 16:15:27 GMT 1, I am just trying to give a balanced view. saying China is pretty much the same as the US or Europe not the police state described. come on johnny, i am sure you don't believe what you just wrote... allow me to remind a few facts
Human rights defenders in China regularly face police harassment, house arrest, short-term detention, โreeducation through labor,โ forcible commitment to psychiatric facilities, or imprisonment on criminal charges, often on state security or public order grounds.
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo is serving an 11-year sentence in Heilongjiang province for incitement to subvert state power. His wife, Liu Xia, has been missing since December 2010. She is believed to be under house arrest in the capital Beijing to prevent her from campaigning on her husbandโs behalf.
Li Tie, a writer and dissident from Wuhan in Hubei province, was sentenced on January 18 to 10 years in prison for subversion. Liโs especially harsh sentence was the last of several given to several long-standing democracy activists in the wake of the Arab Spring.
After a year in detention, veteran activists Ni Yulan and Dong Jiqin were sentenced on April 10 to two years and eight months, and two years respectively for โcreating a disturbance.โ An appeal court shortened Niโs sentence by two months in July.
In late April, the blind activist Chen Guangcheng escaped from his home in Shandong province where he had been unlawfully confined with his family since his release from an unjustified prison term for "intentionally damaging property and gathering crowds to disturb transport order.โ Helped by a network of activists, Chen sought refuge at the United States Embassy in Beijing. Following tense negotiations between the US and China over several weeks, Chen was finally allowed to leave with his family on May 19 to study in the US, after central government envoys gave assurances there would be an investigation into his unlawful detention. Chen Kegui, Chenโs nephew, faces homicide charges for injuring several guards who raided Chenโs brotherโs home in the middle of the night after they realized Chen had escaped. Local judicial authorities barred Chen Keguiโs lawyers from representing him, claiming they had already appointed a legal aid lawyer for him.
On July 25, Hunan activist Zhu Chengzhi was formally arrested on a charge of โinciting subversion of state powerโ for exposing the suspicious conditions surrounding the alleged suicide of veteran dissident Li Wangyang. Li, who spent most of his life imprisoned, was found hanged in a hospital room in Shaoyang city, Hunan province, on June 6, his feet touching the ground. His suspicious death prompted an internet outcry amongst Chinese rights activists and led to several large demonstrations in Hong Kong. Relatives and supporters of Li were placed under house arrest to stop them challenging the results of a second party-led investigation into the case, which Liโs supporters see as a part of the official cover- up.
On August 13, police detained a dozen activists in Beijing and arrested another, Peng Lanlan, in Hunan province. These activists had pressed the State Council to disclose government-held information about implementing measures of the countryโs second National Human Rights Action plan, publicized earlier in June.
In mid-June, internet censors blocked all searches for Yili milk powder, an infant formula, after the company recalled products contaminated with mercury. Government censors excised eight pages of Southern Weekend newspaperโs coverage of the disastrous July 21-22 Beijing flood that caused widespread property damage and disrupted transportation infrastructure. On September 12, censors banned searches for the name โJinpingโ amid frantic speculation as to why Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping had disappeared from public view and from mention in Chinese state media for almost two weeks. He later reappeared with no official explanation for his absence.
At least 27 Chinese journalists were serving prison terms in 2012 due to ambiguous laws on โrevealing state secretsโ and โinciting subversion.โ Journalists are also at risk of perceived violations of censorship restrictions. Southern Metropolitan editor Yu Chen was removed from his position after an anonymous posting to the paperโs website criticized the Chinese Communist Partyโs control over the Peopleโs Liberation Army. Xian Evening News reporter Shi Junrong was suspended on July 2 for an unspecified time for writing a June 27 expose about local Communist Party member spending money on cigarettes. He remained suspended at this writing.
so, not a police state?

Ai Weiwei Skateboard Decks, by sakyamuni on Sept 28, 2013 17:03:16 GMT 1, We can argue as much as we like about wei wei's work and recent releases, but there is one thing that can't be denied, and i am quoting a recent reports by human rights Watch: "despite the countryโs three decades of rapid modernization, the government remains an authoritarian one-party system that places arbitrary curbs on freedom of expression, association, religion, prohibits independent labor unions and human rights organizations, and maintains party control over all judicial institutions. The government also censors the press, internet, and publishing industry, and enforces highly repressive policies in ethnic minority areas in Tibet, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia."
