freedom better than selective prosperity
by raj on Apr 06, 2008 11:11 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

china has developed tremendously
china is a leader in manufacturing
china has grown in a relatively short time
china has a great shanghai & other selective great cities
------------------------

china has a tremendously poor record with human rights
chinese people are totally at the mercy of the govt.
in china, there's no freedom of speech
in china , wealth distribution is selective
rural people are treated with contempt as cheap labour
yu can only have one chld, of late they decided the population is skewed, so now people can have 2. its too skewed.
people dont have a normal life, its always in a shadow, heck, every mail, or a phonecall is filtered and monitored

and yu have this edifice of shanghai.
its a facade.
little else.

interesting u say that..........U think India has a lot of freedom of speech??
every comment out here "offends the sensibilities" of some random and obscure organization. Whats worse the state governments not to miss out on votes actually do as these hooligans wish. M.F. Husain is thrown out of the country......Salman Rushdie gets death threats....movies get banned....caste based reservations are used....communities fight to get registered as backward class(Gujjar in Rjasthan)...India has got a diminishing sex ratio...insite of all the education....nuclear deal gets hijacked by a couple of commies who loyalty nyways lie with the Chinese...The country doesnt have the balls to stand up to China and it meekly disallows Tibetan protestors frm holding peaceful demonstrations...States fight with each other(T.N. and Karnataka)... north Indians are tortured for thinking that they are entitled to basic fundamental rights!
HAIL OUR COUNTRY.ITS DEMOCRACY AND OUR "FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION".

both countries have their bad and good points. We have to appreciate the good and try to over come the bad.
