every country has shameful things that they like to keep hidden away.. Maybe China due to its size is still where some of our countries were not too long ago…Lots of countries at the moment all have their “nasties”, we just don’t get to hear about them as much…
I am in no way condoning China and the way it governs.
But do a little digging in about the country that you live in now.. where ever you are and there are sure to be some major human rights issues tucked away there somewhere…
I was shocked to learn about Sweden’s link with WWII and I only learned about their extremely dodgy history when we were driving up north in the forest and the road suddenly became massively wide for a huge stretch of road… turns out they had a deal with the Nazis for their planes to land there.. in order that they would not be invaded.. Train links were used as well…so Sweden in more ways than one was in the pocket of Hitler..(That part if history is so downplayed here… no one mentions it at all)… That really sickened me as I am from a Commonwealth country of course we supported the British troops and me and my friends have in our family heritage family who fought in the war against hitler…
Another example, which could be compared to the way china says you can only have one child… (but actually I think Sweden’s crime is worse..)
is in Sweden until I think sometimes in the 60’s (maybe 70’s, I know I should have facts to hand but I dont… this is recall… sorry) They basically STERILISED anyone they deemed not good enough to carry on the gene pool… Yep… have a handicap, disability, mental instability, some would even for as far as to say low intelligence, low education and not beautiful enough to contribute to the gene pool….then sterilised you became.
(I really wish I could remember the link.. it made for fascinating reading..)
And this was only not that long ago….
China I predict will actually keep developing as a country.. The west has developed far quicker than the rest of the world…
They just are extremely blunt in what they do and how they do it… rather that the countries we know who go about things behind closed doors and commit all sort of atrocities…. A lot of countries, and not just china at the moment have appalling human rights issues… woman rights in the middle east for one…
What does worry me the most about china is their “alliance” of sorts with North Korea.
I asked a Chinese acquaintance at Swedish school what the deal was with that… he said it was because the USA has strong links to nearly all countries surrounding China, so thats why the link was closely kept in order to be able to have joined forces for any retaliation..
Personally I was horrified… North Korea for me is the worlds wild card… ready to nuke you at any moment should you piss them off… What I wonder about is if China and North Korea are “together”… if you piss of China would North Korea come out in defence?
Yes it’s disgusting how the Chinese government treat the Chinese and rule by fear.. But has the world not learned (through war for example) that telling another country how to do something is just not going to work… If the Chinese want change then they will need to in the future initiate that change, they need to be in charge of their future.. it might take another 50+ years…But I predict (hopefully) that someone, a group possibly will challenge the government and the way things are now… the fight for democracy will begin at some point…especially as links with the wetern world become stronger…. it will probably be ugly BUT if the Chinese fight for what they want surely they will win in the end?I mean the government cant kill everyone??????Can they?:hopeless:
