Response back from Beijing Politburo: "Talk to the hand, baby!"
Thank you, by the way, for posting this here. And, welcome. Please forgive those who appear insensitive to the suffering of the Chinese people who are languishing in this snowstorm without the basics of life to sustain them.
My heart is with the People of China, in all their suffering under their communist masters.
Yes, this is obviously a “freak” weather situation, as was our Hurricane Katrina a few years ago. It was helicopters and their brave pilots who saved many people’s lives at that time in our country.
But overall, that situation came from just freakish horrible weather - yet our President has been blamed in our press for the damage that occurred! (while the local and state government people were actually the ones who did not react in time or in the proper manner to help their own people!! And those governmental authorities are Democrats - meaning more closely allied philosophically with your Chinese communist rulers than is our President.....)
Anyway - first order of business is to get help to the suffering people from this snowstorm. I hope that help comes soon - but seems China’s “leaders” must ASK for help before it can get to these people.
My wonder is - will the people of China rise up and overthrow the communist corrupt “leaders” because of this - because of the inability of the government TO seek help promptly from outside nations (preferably those nearest to China since the Helicopters could get there the fastest from nearby countries)?
indeed ,lots of Chinese people are comparing the snowstorm in China now with Hurricane Katrina in USA a year ago.
Some chinese people even called the snowstorm “ Chinese version of Katrina”.
Yes. Agreed. Could you also answer my questions in the previous post? Thank you.
Badguy... You want to do this:

Then you will get the entire thing.
I get down to Guangzhou a few times a year; I’d love to take you out to dinner some time, talk with a fellow FReeper!
Why don’t they equip their tanks with plows. I’m sure they got plenty of tanks.
All those people and no where to go.
Take a few hundred billion of the money we spend there out of your military budget and help your people.
Oh, that’s right, you don’t care about your people, you killed millions of them in the last century.
We should not help them, they can help themselves.
Plus they turned down one of our ships that wanted to refuel in one of their docks.
But I imagine we will send them some money so they don’t have to take it out of their military budget.
Frankly speaking, I think Chinese current government is not a bad ,althought it is far away from “perfect”.
In fact, Chinese government is not “democratism” but it is also not “absolutism” or “totalism”.
It is something like Sparta-style “oligarchy” During antique Greece. the president Hu Jingtao is just the chief-member of the oligarchy,instead of “dictator”.
with pleasue.... :)
“Minorities Hardest Hit?........who is the “minority” in China?......................”
The non-Han peoples
Clearly Bush’s fault. He has ramped up our war machine to the level that China has to spend hundreds of billions on defense and not take care of it’s infrastructure.
but it is the truth Just now! In China expressway choked gas station ruined
How about - it is “communism”.
Let the Communist Chinese Government STOP persecuting the real Christians in China, the non government “endorsed” Christians. Let them stop wanting to take over Taiwan. Let them stop developing their military (to attack whom?).
Let freedom ring throughout China - and we can then agree the Chinese government is not that bad.

well, Communism in China has died out.
today, CCP is just a nominal communists party.in fact it has given up communism for long time.
its thunder against Taiwan is just a pose. Unless Taiwanese were to stupid to declare independence,nothing would happen .
the Han, representing 92.6% of the population should not be listed as, and is not, a minority
I’ve gone to several evangelical church meetings in China. The issue isn’t prosecution of Christians, it’s prosecution of unlicensed businesses/groups. China treats churches like any other business - you want to run? Great, get a license. And prove you have the space available to operate.
Taiwan - a lot of rattling of sabers on both sides, but the two are so economically interdependent that they WILL merge again. Taiwan will become a hands-off economic zone like Hong Kong. But it’s inevitable. The Taiwanese businessmen I work with know it, and the Chinese nationals who work with the Taiwanese know it.
Developing military? China (or any other nation) would say “you go first”. The right to build a military to defend your own nation is a sovereign right. I’m sure you’d also call for Japan, Germany, Mexico and the UK to halt their militaries too, since they have a track record of actually using them in actions against us...
Freedom is coming to China, just not through the normal way. It’s coming from economic freedom first. As more and people move up in prosperity they are starting to demand more personal freedoms.
well, most of 55 minority in China are sinicized seriously .
Some of them are even more sinicized than Han-Chinese,such as Manchus.
only some of Caucasian ethnics in Xingjiang such as Uigur and Tibetan have the incline to independence.
Frankly speaking, I am a conservative man.
I still think that a wise oligarchy is more fit for China than a democracy.
I acknowledge that democracy can give more freedom to people than oligarchy.
But it also bring more risk of riot.
at least now, I don’t think that the more freedom democracy can bring is worth we risking the riot it may bring.
I agree entirely.
we are so reliable on electricity.
when eletricity is gone, pipe-water gone,railway stopped,phone and mobile phone gone,AC gone...everything seem gone.
we have to live even more poorer than our ancestors during preindustialized era.
