Bush annoys Chinese with human rights speech

China News.Net
Thursday 7th August, 2008

China has hit back at US President George Bush for his criticism of Chinese religious and human rights.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry has said it opposes President Bush's interference in its internal affairs.

A spokesman said: 'The Chinese people enjoy religious freedom according to law. With regards to differences between China and the United States on rights and religious issues, we have always advocated that the two sides should carry out dialogue and exchanges on the basis of equality and mutual respect.'

The spokesman also said the ministry would be willing to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with the United States, to properly handle differences and sensitive issues.

The Chinese statement was in response to a speech by Mr Bush earlier in the day in Bangkok in which he repeatedly highlighted Washington's 'deep concerns over religious freedom and human rights' in China.

It came at the same time as President Bush's arrival in the Chinese capital Beijing for the opening of the Olympic Games

Bush is right!

I lived in China for ten years. Many Christians are tortured for their faith. Only seven churches were allowed in a city of over 10 million people — Guangzhou. It is illegal to sell Bibles everywhere except at a few places in that city. Most other cities in China are much worse.

On the basis of equality and mutual respect.

"On the basis of equality and mutual respect”. This is lacking in US policy and from its people. This has to be forced to them by civil disobedience and sacrisfy by people like Dr Martin Luther King, if you know his story. It seems situation was getting better after the McCarthy anti-commuist era, culminating in their support for equal right and anti-segregation law. However, the new generation became materialistic in the 80’s, then turn to support agressive hegemonic policy against foreign countries. Nurturing foreign dissidents to destabilize friends and foes, just so to cling onto the flaw dream of world domination.
Pray that the American will not blow everyuone up before they submit to this 'dreaded' policy of equality and mutual respect.

Each American is about $3500 in debt to China. And this does not include the massive trade deficit that American has to China as a result of buying goods produced in that country.
Your up the crapper now..so as if any real change will happen.

no mutual respect when it comes to Chinese citizens

In pragmatic China, there are 2 classes of citizens, those who are the HAVES who are the POWERFUL and who RULE, verses the HAVE-NOTS who are the POWERLESS and who are BEING RULED. As the invisible predatory profit taking hand goes, the unfortunates can be captured, put in jail, executed, then have their bodies & organs be sold to meet worldwide demands. There is 1.3 billion of them in supply. Call this mutual respect? Bush is correct. China is a $$$ wealthy country in search of a heart but has not find it yet, yet it has been trading many human hearts for profit, nonetheless, and getting away with the butchery.

'China repression grows', says US
Saturday, 20 September 2008 - The repression of religious freedom in some parts of China has intensified over the past year, a US report says.

]
The state department’s annual report on religious freedom around the world criticised Beijing’s actions in remote Xinjiang province and Tibetan areas. Iran, Burma, Egypt and North Korea were all singled out for criticism, along with nations regarded as more tolerant such as Jordan and Algeria. The report noted some improvements in Saudi Arabia and Vietnam. Presenting the document, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said religious freedom was “at the core of our nation”.

“The United States rejects actions that are offensive to particular religious traditions, but we do not condone the prohibition of free speech. That only weakens societies," she said. She was particularly critical of attempts to outlaw criticism of religions under a principle known as “defamation of religions”, which has been championed in the UN by Islamic countries. “Instead of protecting religious practice and promoting tolerance, this concept seeks to limit freedom of speech and that could undermine the standards of international religious freedom," she said.

Violators blacklisted

The lengthy report has individual sections dealing with each country separately and covers the period from July 2007 to July 2008. In China, the report highlighted the treatment of the Uighur people - a Muslim group living mainly in Xinjiang. “The government reportedly continued to detain Uighur Muslim citizens for possession of unauthorised religious texts, imprison them for religious activities determined to be 'extremist', and prevent them from observing certain sacred religious traditions," the report said.

It was also critical of the Beijing government’s handling of protests by Tibetans in March - particularly of the use of “patriotic education campaigns” in a bid to stifle dissent. The report is used to compile a blacklist of “countries of particular concern”, which the state department announces towards the end of each year. China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Eritrea and Burma are among those who appeared on the blacklist for 2007.

For the whole 8 years, our US President George W. Bush has been hiding behind Chinese President Hu Jintao'; watching Hu’s color on his face, doing nothing to give a hand to help Burma’s Aung San Suu Kyi to get released from house-arrest; now visiting China, Bush makes a show to play human rights behind Hu’s buttocks, and Hu farts ? After 8 years long of the lousy black leaderships of Secretary of State (from Colin Powell to Condoleezza Rice); of course, the 2008 Presidential Hopeful Sen. JOHN McCAIN was an American POW before, that’s why perhaps the 2009 McCAIN administration in White House will have a “white” American Conservative DAN QUAYLE to be our Secretary of State, let Americans be American, reclaim our American dignity; no more kowtowing foreign policy.

China Tells Bush to Butt Out...
:eek:
China to President Bush: Butt Out
August 7, 2008 - Bush Arrives in Beijing for Olympics After Slamming China for Human Rights

]
China reacted angrily to harsh words on human rights delivered by President Bush today, just hours before Bush arrived in Beijing to attend the Olympics. In addition to the testy exchange with Bush, the day before the opening ceremony saw more protesters arrested and the smog the Chinese promised to curb before the Games still hanging over the city. The haze may be a metaphor for the controversy that has dogged China throughout the seven-year, multi-billion-dollar effort to host the Games, which Beijing hopes will mark the country’s arrival on the world stage.

Bush, in remarks in Bangkok, Thailand, before his arrival in Beijing, voiced “firm opposition” to China’s continued detention of dissidents. “The United States believes the people of China deserve the fundamental liberty that is the natural right of all human beings," Bush said. The Chinese government issued a response, saying that it “puts people first, and is dedicated to maintaining and promoting its citizens' basic rights and freedom."

Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said China advocates discussions on differing views on human rights and religions on “a basis of mutual respect and equality." As for Bush’s remarks, Qin’s statement warned, “We firmly oppose any words or acts that interfere in other countries' internal affairs, using human rights and religion and other issues. Bush will meet Chinese President Hu Jintao on Sunday.
