protest like that happen all the time in China in recent years. AFAIK no one's been hanged for letting it happen, though some dissent leaders have been jailed, and if they protested against corruption then some officials might be in deep trouble. but the one you refed was mostly about private sector related.
Oldsters vs. the young crowd ... China coup rumors may be wild, but tension is real March 22, 2012, The fates of prominent Communist Party officials Bo Xilai and Zhou Yongkang point up the clash between economic reformers and Maoist traditionalists.
Communist Party official Bo Xilai's firing was openly discussed online by citizens... Change in China steadily wrought by Internet Saturday, March 31, 2012 - On the eve of Taiwan's presidential election in January, a Shanghai netizen recounted a conversation with a Taiwanese friend who told him that he intended to vote the following morning, "and we will know who will be the president by the evening." Responded the netizen: "You guys are too backward. If we had to vote tomorrow morning, tonight we would already know who would be elected."
How like an American to think al Qaeda terrorists fight for democracy in China, but if they attack western targets then they're "jealous of (y)our freedoms"... The Uygur rioters in Urumqi in 2009 were terrorists who went around the city brutally attacking the elderly, women and children...

I am glad that you admit the existence of racism everywhere else, which of course includes Japan and the US. At least when you made such a remark, you were not so drunk at that moment.
Well said. Welcome aboard, tok3z. Our friend waltky never replies in the forum. He just likes to murmur everything to himself like an old granny. You have put up a good show in your debate with Albert in another forum. Keep it up. I look forward to see you trouncing him in the debate.
Ty reedak... I'm sure if waltky won't argue his points then someone else will on his behalf... They tag out when losing debate so that someone else can regurgitate the same talking points that have already been addressed...
Dem Chinese peoples need to be able to speak out more so the gov't know what's on dey's mind... US mayor lectures Chinese official on freedom of speech Mon, Sep 10, 2012 - Beijing is fighting to have an artists mural promoting independence for Taiwan and Tibet removed from a brick wall in the small town of Corvallis, Oregon.
Don't worry, when "dem Chinese people" speak out, their voices are loud and clear, as seen in the widespread protests across China on 15 September. As shown in the history of the Boxer Uprising and Taiping Rebellion, they could speak out with earthshaking and devastating impact . Thousands protest at Japanese embassy in Beijing http://za.news.yahoo.com/thousands-protest-japanese-embassy-beijing-125744687.html Anti-Japan Protests, Beijing - Sept. 15 2012 [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyH4RzrtT_w Anti-Japan Protests, Beijing - Sept 15 2012 [2] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH_cP0xkjg4 Boxer Rebellion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxer_Rebellion Taiping Rebellion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion The protests on 15 September were eerily reminiscent of the beginning of the Boxer Uprising a century ago. The protesters were frustrated with their government's cosmetic measure of sending a few patrol ships to play merry-go-round at the disputed Diaoyu Islands. Some of the protesters even called for a war against Japan. A century has passed since the Boxer Uprising, and China has entered the Space Age. The country has become the world's second largest economy, yet the mentality of a section of the population remains the same. The spirit of Ah Q still refuses to go away. This forebodes more trouble for the government if it does not respond effectively (except waging war) to the Japanese move.
And watch the ever increasing unrest, when the Chinese economy stalls out due to American and European loss of consumption ability. Print all the money you want, and it will never make up for the 50 million + middle class manufacturing jobs that have been destroyed, and replaced with jobs that consume rice, a scooter, and coal.
... the Japanese devils are too evil... China protests mix colonial anger, modern dispute Sep 18,`12 -- Old wounds amplified outrage over a burning territorial dispute Tuesday as thousands of Chinese protested Tokyo's purchase of islands claimed by Beijing and marked the 81st anniversary of a Japanese invasion that China has never forgotten.

Survey: Half of Chinese like U.S. ideas on democracy Oct 16,`12 -- People in China are increasingly worried about corruption, inequality and food safety, according to a survey that also found that about half of Chinese like American ideas about democracy.
Grandpa says, "Dat's right - dey want dey's food stamps... Food stamps provide a necessary service to millions of Americans. Without it, millions of Americans, including millions of children and elderly people, would have nothing to eat. However, there are numerous issues with the food stamp program, none of which have easy solutions. Ever since the housing collapse triggered the recession that began in 2008, millions of Americans have been battered and beaten down, struggling to find jobs and stay afloat during this dire crisis in their lives. They watch as this government that should be attacking these problems has become totally dysfunctional, collapsing under the weight of a broken and corrupted political system. Since half the Chinese population like American ideas about democracy, why not send them over to the US in exchange for half the American population, so that those Chinese dreamers can experience the struggle of finding jobs and staying afloat in the US?

Dear pimptight, If you enjoy watching "human firework", there is a good chance that you can watch it from the comfort of your bedroom's window. Self-immolation has been practiced for many centuries, especially in India, for various reasons, including Sati, political protest, devotion, and renouncement. It has become a global fad, spreading from India to Vietnam, the US (even outside a White House gate), Tunisia, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Afghanistan, Egypt, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Mauritania, Iran, Turkey, Israel, South Korea, Japan, China, Sri Lanka, Russia, Britain, Sweden, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, Germany, former Czechoslovakia, Serbia, Lithuania, Italy, Vatican City, Sicily, Australia, etc. If anybody knows of any other American self-immolation cases that are missing from my list, please feel free to share your knowledge with us. 1.

Granny says dey's a buncha commonists... China's Great Political Leap Backward November 13, 2012, An increasingly out of touch Communist leadership vows to "resolutely not follow Western political models."
You want to know the difference between me and you? Because I don't have an agenda when I post, I don't care that you just pointed out that people have done the same in the US. See to me the act demands a response from people. I'm not here to defend my team. I am my team! If those injustices in the US were worthy of such a extreme response then lets talk about them. My guess is that you don't want to talk about what China has done to the Tibetan people to bring about that response though, huh? Got quiet like a church around here huh?
You are either so stressed or absent-minded that you dumped the same old rubbish on two separate threads in the same forum. Please refer to your same post and my answers in http://www.politicalforum.com/asia/274409-chinas-oppression-tibet-2.html
You mean you never did? Then you need to go urgently for the http://www.politicalforum.com/humor-satire/276288-dolphin-stress-test.html.
No, I didn't say that, what i said was that I responded with the same thing in both threads, as you had already spammed both threads with the same argument.
