Beautiful Country, but...

Christians do not practice religion freely in China.

...In 1995, while in Beijing for a UN conference, Mrs Clinton described China's one-child policy as a "violation of human rights".

"The Obama Administration effectively dismissed, devalued, and debased human rights - especially women's rights - in the People’s Republic of China," Smith said. "Now, today we learn that the Obama Administration and the democratic leadership is poised to lavishly fund the U.N. Population Fund with $50 million of U.S. taxpayer money. This - despite the fact that the UNFPA has shamelessly and systematically aided and abetted the Chinese government’s one child per couple forced abortion policy. That cruel, anti-family policy has made brothers and sisters illegal in China and murdered tens of millions of children and wounded countless Chinese women."

Wolf said Secretary Clinton's silence and assertion that we ought not raise human rights issues with repressive governments, because we know what they are going to say has far reaching implications.

Congressional Human Rights Leaders: Hillary Clinton Signals Retreat on China Human Rights Under Obama

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressmen Chris Smith (NJ-4th), Frank Wolf (VA-10th) and Joe Pitts (PA-16), leading human rights advocates in Congress, today openly questioned U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s controversial remarks over the past several days that the U.S.-Sino relationship will be less focused on human rights and more focused on economic cooperation, global warming and other issues.

During the July 2008 visit to Beijing, Smith and Wolf pressed for the respect of fundamental human rights. The Chinese secret police threatened eight human rights lawyers they had been planning to meet, and placed several of them under house arrest. The Congressmen asked the Chinese government to release 734 political prisoners in the international spirit of the Olympics. The plea was ignored.

Please Express your appreciation to the Congressmen:

	However, the rule has been estimated to have reduced population growth in the country of 1.3 billion by as much as 300 million people over its first twenty years. but thats a good thing with the world resources rain forest, that is being depleted by china at a rapid pace now http://news.mongabay.com/2008/0229-laurance_china.html At least 80% of Chinese timber imports from Brazil, Cambodia, Cameroon, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Indonesia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands are illegal, according to recent estimates, with somewhat lower values (50 to 60%) for Malaysia and Russia,"

	The wealthy break the rule. Population is one sad fact of many ... It should make us think, when population becomes 3 times what it is now in the USA, partly because we let in so many... we may have to lose many of the rights we enjoy. The time before the tracking, will be written about and read to our ggggGrandchildren. Many years ago, our people traversed this land at will with ease and privacy. Well I'll tell you it shocked me, the comfort level of the college kids, accepting a level of a lack of personal privacy that I am not nearly as comfortable with. It will be our generation to protest any stepping over the line (did we hear that Hillary had in mind to make new privcy laws for citizens using the internet...making tracking a no no?) the young ones are getting used to it and will not protest. ..................................................
