China's human rights
Promises broken and Olympic values betrayed, says new Amnesty report, details and URL to pdf download here.
Amnesty say: THINGS ARE WORSE THAN THEY WERE BEFORE CHINA PROMISED TO CLEAN UP THEIR ACT FOR THE OLYMPICS.
IMO: Hitler's Olympics at least was a promise to help Germans, however bad and badly conceived. On the basis of Amnesty, China's Olympics is just an appalling cover up and tolerance could be truly disastrous, worse than Hitler.
The Chinese authorities have broken their promise to improve the country's human rights situation and betrayed the core values of the Olympics, said Amnesty International in a new report published today, marking the 10-day countdown to the Games.
China is a very poor country and what is worse, extremely corrupt.
We should be looking at China's human rights record. In the long term to improve this may improve things for China as well as everyone else
I believe Royal Bank of Scotland bought 5% of Bank of China. I should think that in some ways, Barings (I presume the rump of Barings if there is one is with ABN-Amro; I cannot remember when there were NOT security complaints about that wretched Bank) must have looked a better deal.
IMO: Anyway, if you are into protesting, Amnesty seem to think that this is a good time to complain aboout China.
