Chines on The One Child Policy

from here “Amnesty International and the U.S. State Department have both properly criticized China’s one-child policy for contributing to infanticide. It is a charge that even some of the propagandists in China’s totalitarian regime would not dispute. The government plasters a number of chilling slogans throughout China that are short on nuance. “Better 10 graves than one birth,” reads one slogan. “Abort it! Kill it! Terminate it! You just cannot give birth to him or her,” reads another official sign written on a long red banner stretched across the entire side of a building.

Good Morning China

Ahh another day in beautiful dry Beijing. As of yet we’ve had no snow, but I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the surrounding area is covered in a coffee brown haze from the coal plants and un regulated plants that surround us. This smoggy morning my neighbor, who I think is either running a meth lab or an assembly plant, has decided to begin his morning activities- banging of hammers and whizzing of an electric saw. I love this place…

Pregnant Chinese Rush To USA to Give Birth

Interesting article about Chinese women who are pregnant coming to the USA to give birth to a little American…. excerpt: ” “Mexican illegal immigrants who give birth to anchor babies in the U.S. are being joined by upper-class Chinese women who have the resources to enter the country legally to deliver their offspring and essentially purchase American citizenship. A story on this new breed of anchor babies was published this week by the leftwing National Public Radio, which makes it a point to intimate the differences between the poverty-stricken illegal border crossers and the affluent Asians. A loophole in American law allows the rich to travel to the United States—often in first-class airline seats—to give birth, the report says, alluding to the plight of the poor chastised Mexicans who desperately cross the treacherous desert to give their unborn children a better life. Because the Chinese women have money, the U.S. practically welcomes them to give birth here. In fact, it has become a booming trade in China where a host of businesses have profited from the deals. For about $15,000, a company arranges a California hospital, physician, house and car rental for wealthy Chinese parents-to-be. The operations are referred to as “an affordable American dream.”

Confucius Schools Spreading Communism ?

The Chinese are opening Confucius schools acorss the globe. Many call it an attempt by the chicoms to spread their evil ways… excerpt: “Another veteran Society of Confucian Studies official (Victor Wang) says China’s overseas school programs are a common communist tactic that provides benefits that appear harmless to make friends and infiltrate the target group. In this case Western society, Wang points out.

China Fact

“”As long ago as 1971, in a study done for Congress, Professor Richard L. Walker, in The Human Cost of Communism in China noted that Beijing was responsible for the deaths of between 34.3 million and 63.8 million people… [in 1995] European historian Jean Louis Margolin …stated that Chinese Communism took the lives of 44.5 million to 72 million people…” The China Threat, Bill Gertz, p. xiii ( 2000). from here

Zambia Issuing Arrests For Chinese Diplomats?

A while back in Zambia, some Chinese allegedly fired on some Africans killing a few. The Chinese were supposedly not brought to justice there. The article below talks about what may have happened,,,, the question is, is this how the rise of China is effecting the world? from here: “BEIJING, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) — Zambia has never issued arrest warrants for Chinese diplomats, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong lei said Thursday. China has noticed reports of arrest warrants being issued for Chinese diplomats because they provided guarantees for two Chinese mine managers who have been charged with attempted murder in Zambia, Hong Lei said at a regular news briefing. He said China is strongly dissatisfied with the reports.The articles are fabricated rumors, he added.

Chinese Parenting

from here: “Despite our squeamishness about cultural stereotypes, there are tons of studies out there showing marked and quantifiable differences between Chinese and Westerners when it comes to parenting. In one study of 50 Western American mothers and 48 Chinese immigrant mothers, almost 70% of the Western mothers said either that “stressing academic success is not good for children” or that “parents need to foster the idea that learning is fun.” By contrast, roughly 0% of the Chinese mothers felt the same way. Instead, the vast majority of the Chinese mothers said that they believe their children can be “the best” students, that “academic achievement reflects successful parenting,” and that if children did not excel at school then there was “a problem” and parents “were not doing their job.” Other studies indicate that compared to Western parents, Chinese parents spend approximately 10 times as long every day drilling academic activities with their children. By contrast, Western kids are more likely to participate in sports teams.”

Wikileaks on Pgnacious China

“From here China‘s “newly pugnacious” foreign policy is “losing friends worldwide”, the US ambassador to Beijing argued in a cable last February. European diplomats were “most vocal”, although Indian and Japanese counterparts voiced similar complaints, Jon Huntsman wrote. In other dispatches US diplomats quote unhappy African officials. In his cable, entitled “Stomp around and carry a small stick: China’s new ‘global assertiveness’ raises hackles, but has more form than substance”, he accused Beijing of “muscle-flexing, triumphalism and assertiveness”, but added that some observers saw it as rhetoric designed to appeal to Chinese public opinion. “Numerous third-country diplomats have complained to us that dealing with China has become more difficult in the past year,” Huntsman reported. His examples included: ■ A British diplomat saying that Chinese officials’ behaviour at the Copenhagen climate change summit was “shocking” and so rude and arrogant that the UK and French complained formally. ■ The Indian ambassador to Beijing requesting closer co-operation with the US because of “China’s more aggressive approach”. ■ Japanese diplomats complaining that officials were “aggressive and difficult” during summit preparations. ■ Another Japanese official describing rising tensions in the East China Sea, saying that “the increased aggressiveness of Chinese ‘coastguard’ and naval units… had provoked ‘many dangerous encounters’ with Japanese civilian and self-defence force ships”. The official said Japan had not reported all the incidents. The issue became public in the autumn when Japan arrested the captain of a Chinese fishing boat for ramming a coastguard vessel near disputed islands. The cable refers to another dispute that later broke into the open. A Norwegian diplomat said Oslo was unhappy with the trend of bilateral relations, citing the lack of progress in human rights discussions and referring to the jailing of writer Liu Xiaobo. China reacted angrily when Norway’s Nobel committee gave the peace prize to Liu recently. The main tensions appear to be with China’s neighbours or established western powers. In several cables US diplomats note China’s growing influence in Latin America and Africa. One cable notes the Kenyan ambassador stressing the benefits of China’s role on the continent and saying Africa has nothing to gain if the US and China co-operate. Juliu Ole Sunkuli “claimed that Africa was better off thanks to China’s practical, bilateral approach to development assistance and was concerned that this would be changed by ‘western’ interference… Sunkuli said Africans were frustrated by western insistence on capacity building, which translated, in his eyes, into conferences and seminars. They instead preferred China’s focus on infrastructure and tangible projects.” Other cables suggested some African diplomats felt “a degree of suspicion and resentment” about China’s role. A Nigerian official suggested poorer countries were “coerced” into aid-for-resources deals. Elsewhere a Moroccan diplomat commented: “China will never play the role of a global leader if it treats its trade partners so poorly.” Assessing US-China relations at the start of 2009, the then US ambassador to China, Clark Randt, saw growing similarities in relations with the rest of the world. “By the end of the next 30 years China should no longer be able to portray itself as the representative of lesser developed countries. This does not mean that it will necessarily identify with the more developed, mainly western countries; it well might choose to pursue some uniquely Chinese path… Even so, China’s growing position as a nation increasingly distinct from the less developed world may expand our common interests.” It was possible China “will come to be identified by the average citizen in less developed countries not as ‘one of us’ but as ‘one of them’.”

China Has a Novel Way to Aid People in Traffic Jams

In an interesting move to stem frustration in Traffic jams, some Chinese are proposing an interesting scheme/scam. When a person is trapped in a traffic jam they can call for a quick pick up via motorcycle and a substitute will drive their cars for them. In any country but China it may be a good idea. But, here there will be too much haggling about inspecting the car before turning over the keys, lost cars and incidences of theft/claimed theft. from here: “BEIJING – With more Chinese people getting behind the wheel every day, traffic jams are a major headache in most cities but the gridlock has become an opportunity for some entrepreneurs who are offering an escape route – for a price. Drivers who get stuck in traffic in some cities can now get on their mobile phones and call for a substitute to take their cars to their destinations while the frustrated drivers are whisked away on the back of a motorcycle. “One important source of our customers is female drivers, some of whom feel physically uncomfortable if they wait in cars in traffic for too long,” said Huang Xizhong, manager of a company that offers the service in Wuhan, the capital of Central China’s Hubei province.

China’s Espionage at Cold War Levels- Judicial Watch Reports

Grat piece from here- judicial watch.org: ” In The Price of American Secrets, we reported the United States’ lack of enforcement in preventing and combating illegal exports – particularly to the Peoples’ Republic of China. In a second production of records responsive to our Freedom of Information Act request, the Justice Department’s National Security Division provided a document titled, “China Illegal Export/ Espionage Talking Points (April 3, 2008)” and the Executive Office for United States Attorneys provided a document titled “Listing Publicly Filed Cases and Convictions under the Following Statutes.” The National Security Division records detail China’s aggressive efforts to engage in illegal export and espionage activities. Former Assistant Attorney General for National Security, Ken Wainstein, stated: While there are entities from over 100 different countries trying to get access to our secrets or our controlled technology, there are a number of countries that have proven themselves particularly determined and methodical in their espionage efforts. The Peoples Republic China is one of those countries. China and Russia’s foreign intelligence service are among the most aggressive in collecting against sensitive and protected U.S. systems, facilities, and development projects, and their efforts are approaching Cold War levels. While the United States often identifies North Korea and Iran as security threats, these two countries are not described in the Cold War terms used for China. The US has been playing patty cake with China for roughly 30 years, with the hope that such goodwill will promote a healthy relationship. Nonetheless, U.S. standards for human rights, democracy, and international responsibility are rarely found in the PRC. Only recently has China engaged in international cooperation and only to tackle soft issues like climate change rather than North Korea and regional stability. Of 540 investigations of illegal technology exports to China since 2000, it is still unclear how many have been prosecuted and whether the consequences were more significant than what we at Judicial Watch previously reported. The list of pending or guilty defendants for fiscal year 2008 reported September 20, 2008 contains over 4,100 entries. Due to the redactions, it is nearly impossible to determine any correlation with China or the ongoing investigations. While espionage prosecution like the case against Department of Defense Weapons System Policy Analyst Gregg William Bergersen, who provided classified information to a PRC spy, demonstrate US will to counter China espionage on a tactical level, on a policy level there is no sign of such will. Rather than contemplating China’s arrival and China’s efforts to reduce its global footprint by planting a forest the size of Norway, politicos and policy makers need to start demanding the same standard of conduct by China as they do other nations. Human rights is an issue.Chinese espionage is rampant and the U.S. knows it. China has “arrived” – and their purchase of America’s skyrocketing debt only complicates our relationship.
