human rights...

just wanted to mention another very interesting story i read:

"China lashes out at serious US human rights violations"http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2005-03/03/content_421497.htm

Compare the US's opinion on human rights in China:http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2004/index.htm =indexhttp://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2004/41640.htm =china page Ithink...but ironically, it is blocked from China ...if someone couldaccess it and email it to me, that would be much appreciated!!!!

with China's opinion on human rights in the US:http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2005-03/03/content_421420.htm

i'd appreciate also being emailed the US's report on human rights inthe UK...as that is also blocked here (??)

i won't make any comments as my opinion, but wanted to mention thisissue and show you what china's stance is as you can read theofficial english language paper's news story on it.

I could write a lot about human rights in china, but won't. Wellactually I will mention that I read 200 people were executed inChina in the week before Chinese New Year, which is higher thanusual apparently (its usually over 100 a week!)..compared to only 59executions in the whole of 2004 in the whole of the US.

"China has executed more people in the past three months than therest of the world in the past three years, says AmnestyInternational."news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/1425570.stm

again, i can't read this, since the BBC is banned, and so isAmnesty's website!
