No, instead of the suffering Chinese, we get another bash fest by the agenda-pushing Zionist MSM!
Can you tell I've had it with their shit squirts, readers?
"China spares no effort, expense in Olympics makeover; Seeks to improve city and populace" by Barbara Demick, Los Angeles Times | July 22, 2008
BEIJING - Everybody wants to make a good impression for important guests, but it's almost like an episode of "Extreme Makeover" here these days.
With a price tag of $43 billion, the Summer Games that will open Aug. 8 in Beijing are the most expensive in Olympics history. The transformation, however, goes far beyond the eye-popping architecture. The Chinese government also has been trying to create a new, improved population to go along with its spiffed-up capital city.
When America does the same thing, it is portrayed as such a welcoming for the rest of the world!
Seriously, readers, I have no love for the Chinese government (or any government), but I am TIRED of the SHITTY AMERIKAN MSM and its DEMONIZATION of China!!!
Migrant workers, beggars, and many masseuses and fortune tellers have been sent packing for the Olympic season. Since May, restaurants have been required to have no-smoking sections, and this month Beijing's food safety administration ordered restaurants to remove dog meat from their menus lest it offend Western sensibilities.
Why should that offend Americans?
The Chinese diners around her serve cat in place of chicken, so WTF?!
AmeriKans seem to have no problem shoveling that slop down their throats!
Of course, we are talking ELITE STINK SHITS here, so I can understand the concern!
DVD shops have pulled their stocks of pirated Hollywood films. Western-style toilets have replaced squat models in many locations. And a group calling itself the Capital Committee to Promote Culture and Ideological Progress recently distributed 50,000 packages of tissues along with a warning that those caught spitting in public were subject to a $7 fine.
Yeah, the Chinese are a bunch of disgusting barbarians!
That certainly seems to be the tone of this piece of shit article, doesn't it?
Almost all Olympics have been springboards for host cities to reinvent themselves. Barcelona redeveloped its waterfront for the 1992 Games. Athens built a new airport, highway, and mass transit system. Like Beijing, Seoul used the 1988 Summer Olympics as a coming-out party and took the same types of steps toward Westernizing.
But everything taking place in Beijing is, like China itself, outsized.
You mean, "outsized" like the U.S. "DEFENSE" BUDGET?
--MORE--"
And I'm curious to know why the Boston Globe censored this part of the report on their website.
Could they WANT YOU NOT TO KNOW THIS, readers?
Not all the measures are popular. The Geneva-based Center for Housing Rights and Evictions estimates that 1.5 million people have been moved to make way for Olympics-related projects.One family attracted much publicity in recent weeks by bedecking its house with Olympic and Chinese flags, along with portraits of leaders dating back to Mao Tse-tung, in a colorful protest against the government's plans to demolish the property. The house was demolished anyway Friday.
But public protest has been relatively minimal, in part because of the Chinese government's intolerance of dissent, but also because of genuine pride in the Olympics."
Unlike AmeriKa, right?
I mean, the government TOLERATES DISSENT; the government JUST IGNORES IT!
Gee, that sort of blows up the TOTALITARIAN, AUTHORITARIAN, PASSIVE CHINESE that the Jew papers are always hollering about, huh?
Now why would the jewsmedia want to censor that?
BEIJING - Two public buses exploded during yesterday morning's rush hour in the city of Kunming, killing at least two people and injuring 14 others in what authorities described as deliberate attacks as China is tightening security nationwide and warning of possible terrorist threats ahead of next month's Olympic Games.
The blasts struck city buses at 7:05 a.m. and again at 8:10 a.m., state media reported. Public security officials in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province in southwestern China, provided no information about whether the explosions were coordinated. Authorities did not say whether they were the work of terrorist groups or disgruntled individuals.
By yesterday afternoon, police were still searching for suspects. Checkpoints were set up on highways, while police were tightening security at Kunming's airport and train terminal, according to the website of the provincial public security bureau. A photograph of one bus posted online showed shards of a shattered window spread across a street but also suggested that the blast had not been powerful enough to inflict catastrophic damage.
The explosions come as China has experienced a spate of riots and public protests as the country prepares for the Aug. 8 opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.
In recent years, public protests have become common in China, especially in rural areas where farmers have demonstrated against illegal land seizures and official corruption. But authorities are trying to tamp down embarrassing outbursts in advance of the Olympics and have ordered local authorities to address local grievances and block petitioners from coming to Beijing.
As many as 30,000 people rioted in Weng'An County in Guizhou Province in response to allegations that local police had mishandled the investigation of the death of a teenage girl. Last week, a mob of 100 angry protesters attacked a village police station in Guangdong Province in an uprising over allegations of police malfeasance.
Beyond the escalating internal disturbances, authorities are warning that foreign terrorist groups may be plotting to disrupt the Olympics. Chinese officials have singled out the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement and said it destroyed 41 training bases and arrested 82 people.
Some human rights activists say China is exaggerating the threat posed by ETIM to justify a broad security crackdown in Xinjiang, the restive western region that is home to the country's Muslim Uyghur population."You know what is really encouraging about this last piece (despite the wholesale shoveling of anti-Muslim propaganda)?
It appears that in China, the GOVERNMENT is AFRAID of its people!!!!!!!
Oh, would that were the case in AmeriKa!!!!!!!
