This evil bastard begins a 3-day visit to Britain today – who is Hu? – he is Hu Jintao and is the President of the Peoples Republic of China. In fact he has the grim distinction of presiding over the most evil, brutal, tortuous and inhumane regime on the planet. And yet he is going to stay at Buckingham Palace, wine and dine with the Queen, meet with Blair, where there will be smiles all round, much back-slapping and handshaking – but exactly what kind of regime are we now firmly and snugly in bed with?
Lao Tzu got it right a long time ago when he penned the first “self-help” bestseller. Available at most good bookshops, The Way of the Tao sagely suggests that anyone presuming to push against the river will end up swallowing a lot of water.
One of China’s problems is the sheer numbers of human beings in that country. With an additional 100 million or so hungry humans expected to be born by 2010, Hu the drastic step of limiting births to one child per couple. That tended to put the brakes on for a bit. It also brutalised many people, while lighting the fuse on a powder keg that could blow the country apart as Beijing’s “One-Child Policy” favouring male offspring leads to a shortage of the female gender to sustain the regime’s planned economic world domination by 2025.
The Birth Police
In Fujian province, a 34-year-old mother of two young boys refused to be sterilized after a local hospital warned her against aggravating her medical condition. Sun Zhonghua was taken from her farm at daybreak by birth-control officials and beaten to death.
Another village woman whose IUD was incorrectly inserted tried to hide an unauthorised second birth. A shaken former birth control officer who defected with smuggled identity cards, documents and videotape confessed that when she learned of this transgression, Gao Xiao Duan “sent a bulldozer to demolish her house and her brother's house. She was then sterilised.”
“In the race to the bottom, China is the bottom,” says Bama Athreya, Deputy Director of the International Labour Rights Fund. “The most extreme cases of misery and repression can all be found in China, thanks to the fact that its enormous and desperate population of unemployed have no choice but to accept starvation wages and suffer abuse.”
Within the borders of this evil empire millions of young Chinese men can find neither money nor love because many of the relatively few available single women are being beaten and raped while producing products for Britain, the EU, USA, Canada and other world markets in death camps called “laogai.”
Alternatively, they “voluntarily” work backbreaking hours in what amount to slave labour camps, where the National Labour Committee for Human Rights has documented 98-hour work weeks in factories with temperatures of over 100°F, a ban on talking during work hours, 24-hour surveillance, and compulsory unpaid overtime.
Oh and top wages are 10 cents an hour.
Average pay in China’s “Special Economic Zones” is three cents an hour.
Other workers are paid just 36 cents for more than a month’s work—making just 8/100th of a cent an hour.
This is life in China, autumn 2005. We can lay all this human misery at the door of our distinguished visitor today.
Does it Get Any Worse?
Yes!! Chinese officials, doctors and relatives of prisoners confirm “organ harvesting is widespread in China’s jails.” According to David Chu of the China Support Network, “prime” death-row prisoners who are young and healthy are subjected to health checks to match them with donors. Then they are shot in the back of the head, leaving the valuable vital organs intact. Like some barbaric rite, beating hearts are transferred into waiting patients—sometimes, it has been documented, while the gunshot victim is still alive.
Kidneys cut from “Made in China” corpses fetch as much as $15,000 apiece. And the skin carved from an estimated 15,000 state murder victims every year is stored in saline for later use on burn victims, who may have very troubled dreams indeed.
No wonder David Chu calls this place, “Nazi China”. Would you buy anything made by Nazis running concentration-labour camps like these during the last world war?
China’s New Rich, the West’s New Poor
With 160 million low-paid Chinese engaged in manufacturing and mining, the repercussions in the West are severe and growing worse. China’s sweatshops and force labour concentration camps have already taken over about 70% of the British, EU and American textile and clothing and materials market. In January 2005, a US congressional commission reported that China’s slave labour policies had cost 1.5 million US jobs since 1989.
But China’s murderous miracle cannot be sustained. No matter how they’re shuffled, the numbers simply don’t work.
Over the past four years, China has consumed 40% of global oil demand. When its consumption more than doubles in the next 20 years, China will become the world’s biggest importer, requiring the same 12.8 million barrels of crude oil that many fewer Americans import and burn every day.
China is currently the world’s seventh largest economy. It may well be the world’s largest in the next 25 years. But it cannot feed half its population. And water tables are drying up beneath the great North China Plain, which produces much of China's grain harvest.
Racing for the last vestiges of oil, gas and mineral acquisitions throughout Central Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the world's second-largest consumer of oil is already America’s biggest competitor. But as aquifers run dry and more water is diverted to China’s teeming cities, farmers are being banned from using reservoirs with the results that harvest yields are dropping. Beijing’s narrowing options are to secure the people’s needs through overseas investment. The alarming alternative is the conquest of its neighbours.
A Word About Tibet
52 years of Chinese occupation of Tibet
BOYCOTT ‘MADE IN CHINA’
157,000 Tibetans executed, 266,000 Tibetans tortured to death.
FACT: Every time you buy a product made in China, some of your money is being used to fund the vast network of prisons and forced labour camps in Tibet, where men, women and children are routinely tortured and beaten, often resulting in their deaths. Their ‘crimes’, which are never violent, may include making a Tibetan flag, or singing independence songs or even possessing a picture of the Dalai Lama.
Every time you buy something in a shop or by mail order, check first - if it was made in China, don’t buy it. If the label doesn't say where it was made, then it was probably made in China (a large proportion of goods made in China fail to indicate their origin. Goods from other countries nearly always show where they were made).
TORTURE AND BEATING OF TIBETAN PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE ARE ROUTINE. EVERY TIME YOU BUY GOODS MADE IN CHINA, YOU ARE HELPING TO PAY FOR THIS OPPRESSION!
“They pulled down on the rope, hoisting my arms up, wrenching them from their sockets. I screamed. I began to urinate uncontrollably and I could no longer hear anything beyond my own screaming and the thuds of the guards' fists landing on my body.” - Testimony of Palden Gyatso, monk, who was imprisoned for 33 years for putting up posters calling for Tibetan independence.
I personally met Palden, a Buddhist monk, in Glasgow two years ago, surely one of the most beautiful and compassionate human beings one could wish to meet. I asked him if he bore any grudges against the Chinese - he said - he just felt sorry for them!! (the people, that was)
LOOK, PLEASE DO NOT BOYCOTT CHINESE RESTAURANTS OR OTHER CHINESE BUSINESSES OPERATING IN THE UK. I AM ONLY SUGGESTING BOYCOTTING CHINESE GOODS, NOT CHINESE PEOPLE, WHO HAVE OFTEN COME TO BRITAIN TO ESCAPE ILL-TREATMENT THEMSELVES.
