With the upcoming Olympic Games the world looks to China, but what is to be seen there. Big economic developments sure, but what about human rights?

The following links provide an answer to this (Warning graphic images!)

I donīt want this to turn into a "war".

But in the light of current affairs, the human rights issue in China canīt be overlooked or ignored, although torture is surely just one of them.

This will never end. China gov needs to recognize human rights before things can get better. China cannot expect to hope that the Olympic games will be a success knowing that torture is widespread to those who voice their opinion. Of course, everybody knows that ... except for the chinese government.

It's very complex issue... Very low price of labor force makes that China became main world producer of consumer goods for well being of the rest of the world (including poorest). It's impossible to live in current world boycotting products "Made in PRC". The fact we trade witch China should not change our attitude to our values. The problem is that companies are profit orientated and moral values are only present on PR materials. The ironic is that Chinese government believes that using this tactics would be able to buy everyone . Now they see how wrong they were.

Nope. Not at all. I don't give a crap about China's human rights or what they do to people. If the Chinese on the whole are content to go about their daily lives without revolting then why should I care. Yeah, Tibet wants to be so free they are willing to... set some stuff and fire and walk around shouting. Come on, we see that level of protest in the suburb unrest in France.

Brutal. Not.

Well except for the monk who burned himself a while ago. Unlike the others he seemed willing to do something albeit questionable.

There are nothing such as human rights in Chinese history, so quit bashing Chinese with your "oh so great" western perspectives. Those photos were taken in rural Chinese areas, China is still a 3rd world country other than a few major cities. We will improve soon.

Does the US and Israel government (Nothing wrong with the soldiers who follow orders / or people there) have human rights for killing Palestinian and Iraqi civilians and destroying their homeland?

Beijing is a very modern and international city, just like Berlin in Nazi Germany during the 1936 olympics, so don't worry you won't see tortures in Beijing.

I hope the athletics would have a great time in Beijing.

We're not talking about democracy here - don't try to derail. This is about decent treatment of a population. If, indeed, there is no concept of this in Chinese history, then it says something about the Chinese people, and you are doing your cause no favours by highlighting it.

Maybe we all can actually work together to resolve problems and not add to them. I would like to see the Olympic games play how they are meant to be played, "To promote world peace and unity" rather than what happened in 1980 and during other events when it was used to make a political statements.

There's no excuse in human rights abuses just because the politics aren't perfect. It's not acceptable. China asked for the Olympics, knew the spotlight will be on them, and this is what happened. Sometimes telling western journalists you can't report this, you can't film this will receive more additional negative attention.

Actually there is a lot of favour being a ethnic minority in china like people already posted thousands thousands times...employments, college entrance etc...

About human rights,i'd like to remind you that before *the evil commies* showed up, rich people could have their servants kept as slaves, torture is allowed and recognized as a usual way for enforcers to get infos from *suspect*, oh, before *evil commies* there wasn't *suspects* only criminals or not.

You read too much Imperial Hanism stuff dude.

But, for the sake of freedom speeches, currently we all have to endure some stupid a55es.

There are lots of minoirties in china but only a few have bad reps because of being related with crimes(faking beggery, theft,fraud,robbery,murdering,vandalism terroism etc). Most of minoirities are nice and good people,at least myself people around me don't look down upon them.

But be awared that some people from different provinces even look down each other as well. For example, some northerners refer southerners as sissie and other insulting names, while some southerners take northerners as barbaric impolite bullies etc.

The problem of all 'tis a lot, mainly is because of poor moral standard, and the tradition of regional discrimination dating back to warring states age.

That is more a consequence than a plan.

Nazis wanted to show the dominance of Germany and the Aryan race.

The Chinese also do not care about their friendly image. Their "power" image is what they are really looking for.

I'll agree with that. The torch relay should have been allowed to proceed without demonstrators blocking the route, grabbing at the flame or trying to extinguish it. It is perfectly acceptable though, expected even, in our free societies for people to line the route with placards and banners well expressing their feelings on any number of issues they have with China. Whether that is Tibet, forced labor camps, re-education camps, Darfur, religious repression, political repression or any other number of issues.

China was looking forward to the Olympics as their coming out party so to speak; well they got it. All their dirt will be aired and re-aired as they have the spotlight they wanted on them. Their reaction and tone to the demonstrations could probably be used as a case study in how NOT to handle a PR disaster. Did they really expect people in the west to buy some of the sh*t they have been shoveling. Hell, silence on their part would have worked out better.

Runnin around grabbing at athletes doesn't deserve anything but a beatdown. It's the protesters that make the olympic games political, not the place they were chosen. There are way worse places in the world right now than China. Why is it that violent protests in Tibet ( burning down shops and beating ethnic chinese ) is considered peaceful by the protesters who, many of whom have nothing to do with Tibet, let alone know it's history. People protesting just for the sake of it and that's about it.

Torture did exists in some place i don't deny it. In fact these are also reported in newspapers.

But there are also places that police had to *sneak in* in order to hostages kidnapped & sold by slavers in case a whole bunch of mob(consists of nearly every single man, woman & children possible from local residency) mop on them.

Haven't seen these photos due to da great firewall... But i know falun gong memebers make some cosplay torturing...

Why not visit china? It ain't that far from you. Make a handband with "i'm a laowai" on it could make you armour class+10 & spell resistence +100:)

yup not tat far I live near Tibet border Moincer

good idea Chinese frequently shout out "Laowai"! to foreigners passing by, which may then be followed up with laughter and taunting.:bash:

dude, asking those who bashed China in this thread have they ever been in China, the answer 99% will be "no".

well someone may claim they know China very well due to his 70's east europe experience, believe it or not, judge by yourself.

==============================
What new things that German loves? I think its just something unique way of life,And I bet as he is a German,it takes sometime for him to know what real life it is as a common Chinese.Otherwise he is just having a Chinese way to you,don't take it seriously.

This is still just another case.I feel sympathtic with that woman, I think she has been psychologically tortured. The Chinese cities want a good outlook,but I have never seen so many so fierce conflicts between the city's management and small business people in any other countries.

The woman put her tricycle on the automobile road to sell pineapples, it's dangerous to herself, to other one who want to buy her pineapples. The woman sold on lawless site and hurt the law enforcement personnel. I think she has psychologically and bodily "tortured" the the law enforcement personnel.

No one sell on the automobile road here,these people sell on the sidewalk.And where is the legal site for them? Even if they can afford to sell in a shop,people still like to buy outside for it is cheaper and closer. Can a shop sell cheaper? Never, to run a shop every office in various level such as Industrial and Commercial ,Tax,Higyene,Police,Local Secrurity,Fire Control, will keep an eye on you,you just got to be wise or you are closed.

But they are doing unfair competition to who sell in a shop or market, and almost all of them even have not a selling licence.

Yes, the "城管“ is infamous. I think it's bcause there are not a correlative law to regulate the popedom. I know Beijing city just passed a new "city manage law" in 2008.1.1. Thus now, in evening I see those peddleries are appear roadside again near the community I live in. By now I didn't hear the "城管" come again, maybe they fear to face a law charge if do “forcible" as before, so they lazy to "manage" them, I don't know. For me, I'm willing to buy goods from them, just convenient. http://www.jcrb.com/200801/ca672993.htm

gregoralex, from what I can determine, the lady who attacked the police was in the wrong. How ever you came up with the comment psychological torture is beyond me. If that is the best you can do, China has nothing to worry about.

In the states certain municipalities require sales licenses. For a number of reasons they are a good idea. Attacking a office of the law is appropriate when? Even in the states that women would be in Jail.

Emotionally based opinions don't fly in the long run and will only hurt your over all position. The pen is mightier than the sword when it well honed and sharpened with fact and reason.

Maybe before posting, think about how your views is read by others.

Last something I shouldnt forget to point out:

Who are those people doing legal business? Aren't many of them the relatives or friends of the officials and law enforcement officers? Yes,party member and public servant and police and military are not allowed to do business by law or discipline,but it doesnt prevent them from doing business in others' name.
