Some comments about "China’s New Rebels"

This is the first time that the corruption has surfaced from this communist country. The fact that these corruptions were not exposed due to absence of freedom of speech and other democratic tools. It clearly shows that how vehemently the country is operating how malafied intensions it possesses. Not only had it conquered Tibet from India, and deposed Tibetians, it has also been responsible for human rights violations. This communist is so detrimental to our US Country, it sells cheap products, harms consumer tastes, it has also been rumored to have bought Hummer brand from GM. It should not so happen that one day we may fall prey to this communist, buy nuclear, science and technology from this cheap country.
GOD Bless America!!

Why continue to call the Tiananmen protests a pro-democracy movement when it clearly wasn’t? The protests were triggered by economic reasons when inflation reached 30% in major cities after state owned enterprises laid of millions of workers. People were frustrated that only officials were gaining from the move into capitalism while corruption and cronyism was rampant so they came out in droves to protest the situation calling for change and greater liberlization. To be sure pro-democracy protesters joined in calling for change but the bulk of the million plus protesters weren’t calling for democracy. By labeling Tiananman solely as a pro-democracy movement it distorts the reasons of what was really happening. It seems counter productive to call for press freedom and freedom if you can’t even accurately portray one of the most pivotal events of the 20th century.

I am still in shock over a conversation I had a few years ago with a fellow new Ivy League grad student from China - which probably shows how little I understand about China and Chinese people my own age (30).
She called the student protestors “terrorists” and explained that everyone had seen footage of the students doing horrible things to soldiers on television - for example, beheading them. So she felt that the mass slaughter of the students was justified.
I asked whether it was possible the government had exaggerated or lied, and she was offended by the suggestion. She explained that the government told the truth because it wanted to protect its people from “terrorists”.
It was sort of an out-of-body experience - someone telling me that their experience of an event was completely opposite of how it’s commonly thought of.

Why American always care things from another country?Why a lot of persons hate US? After 9.11,you need to introspect it ，thinking about how to recover from the economic crisis rather than interfere interior of another country!.
As a Chinese I don’t like CCP ,but we cann’t negate economy developed a lot in these 30years .I love China and we are not allowed anyone who want to separate TAIWAN or Tibet to our Country!

TianAnMen incident was a poorly executed student movement. With good intention to start, it actually destroyed the democratic progress in China from early 1980s. China would have been more democratic now if the student leaders had known how to reach a compromise with the government and if the movement had been carried out at a smaller scale without creating so much political chaos and without making CCP feeling deeply threatened. The accusation toward Deng Xiaoping by the students actually helped conservative Li Peng gain more power. Without the support of Deng Xiaoping (the god father of CCP after Mao) liberals could not survive. The liberals got caught in the middle between the students and the party elders and eventually lost power due to political unrest created by the movement. Both CCP and some ambitious/zealous/selfish student leaders were responsible for this unfortunate incident. Even though I don’t fully support the student movement in 1989, we should never forget it. It taught us a tough lesson and pointed us to a new direction—-capitalism the first, democracy the second, political unrest the last. Even though the road to reach democracy become much longer, it is also much safer. And we know can achieve it in the foreseeable future.

As an average urban citizen born and raised in China for my entire life, I don’t trust the overseas dissidents one bit. They have done nothing to help expand my freedom.
I got where I am today by studying hard in school, working hard after graduation, and actively trying to help people around me and strangers through donating to charities (I just donated another 100 yuan last week to a Mothers in Poverty charity, a sub program of the Hope Project) and assisting local animal shelters.
China’s progress has been won by its 1.3 billion ordinary people who struggle everyday to make their lives better, despite all the harping and cold judgments in the western media that paint them as a ginormous army of mindless, pathetic drones running around killing Jews (why else would the western media call China a Nazi country before the Olympics?)
The NYT finally stopped hiding its elitist stance by interviewing scholars living in ivory towers instead of ordinary citizens and students.
I wouldn’t vote for the CCP if China became a democracy. Neither would I vote for those overseas dissidents who I most certainly look down upon. I and million of orginary folks live in this country and fight for a better future every day, what did they do?
