One end of China’s human right action

Six Network articles, a personal capacity voluntarily signed the "Charter 08", two hours hasty trial (both prosecution and the defense have no more than 14 minutes to speak), they are all evidence to sent Liu Xiaobo to jail for 11 years. The adjudge was announced on the same day Christmas eve, on an independent writer, intellectual, Liu Xiaobo was sentenced to heavy penalty.

Chinese government uses Liu as a target, jailed him with proposes of warning to others. On one hand, the government continues to warn that the deal with Europe, the United States and Australia and other Western countries. On another hand, which is more important, they are target for warning other human rights defenders, push them gives up the rights of freedom of speech.

On the 2008 "World Human Rights Day", Liu Xiaobo was taken away from his home. A whole year, the Chinese government deals vigilantly with a series of politically sensitive date, deals with all kinds of economic uncertainty, well-prepared themselves a special appearance as a powerful country on the world stage. At the same time, for Xi Jinping, Bo Xilai and other princelings, it represented the next generation of CPC leadership succession forging a new discourse of the ruling.

The core of my view is not focus on the repression gangdom, but it provide an evidence of identification difference between "government official " and "citizen". In these government official’s eyes, citizen like Liu xiaobo equals to gangdom, equals to the group of people which threat social security.

Charter 08

After Liu Xiaobo has been prosecuted, many people who signed the "Charter 08" stand up and say that we sinned as him. It is because they see the point: Liu Xiaobo, for people all in the present and future may be conflict with the official, government, bears the suffering himself.

The "Charter 08" is not long, but the contents of complex, each person may have different understandings. The Charter is different from the previously groups movement. There are no protests or conflicts. It is a document of requirement from the people. It is not committed to format a group or organization, but stressed that the dignity of citizenship, calling for the independence of the individual citizen commitment.

Nowadays, gap between rich and poor in Chinese society leads to frequent intensification of social conflict situations. Suggestions for the Government from experts and scholars are keeping starting warning. It is widely argued that if the problem is not dealt with, it would be threat to social stability. That problem is not resolved, could cause unrest.

Mass incidents

Although the total number of mass incidents is not decreasing, the number of repression by government police has significantly increased. In every year, provinces and cities have plenty of the events that people’s strong opinions were viciously repressed. After period of Beijing Olympic Games, more instructions show that repression of mass incidents is going to be a daily work for future.
Liu Xiaobo tries hardly to exercise his rights, and so did Tan Zuoren and Ai Weiwei who collected the truth of the shabby work in the Sichuan province. These are the provisions in the Constitution of the PRC to protect civil rights.However, Liu was sentenced to jail, not only hurt those who efforts to promote universal values of foreign persons and Western countries, but also living in China, every citizen. In order to protect citizens themselves in the future when the conflict happens between the official and government, there is no law or Constitution of the PRC protects them. China's people need Liu Xiaobo to restore freedom.

Glad to back home against heavy snowing

When our plane landed on the London Gatwick Airport, all passengers on broad applauded for the successful landed and our captain.

The thick snow on the ground outside the window make me realized I left Africa, left sunshine and beach, backed to the snow world. At the same time, I began to glad that I changed my mind at last minute and decided to go Africa instead of Skiing in Europe for Christmas vacation.

Whole journey backs to London, I was experiencing some turbulence and made me believe the reality of snowing attack in Europe.

EasyJet's Twitter site called for calm from passengers: "We do not intend to make anyone angry we are trying our best to assist." Another post said: "You may not get an answer immediately we are snowed under, excuse the pun!" Ryanair said 35 flights had been delayed, with the major delays taking place at Stansted. Now I could calm down.

After we arrived, the Gatwick airport was almost empty. Few passengers stay at the airport for someone picks them up to home. I could not find lot passengers were waiting for plane. It could be seem that the airport has learned for experiences that how to solved travel chaos caused by bad weather.

However, the Europe does not feel the same lucky. More than 80 people have died across Europe as days of snow storms and sub-zero temperatures swept the continent, causing traffic chaos for millions. At least 42 people have frozen to death in Poland over the last three days and another 27 in Ukraine. Another 13 people died in car accidents in Austria, Finland and Germany, where temperatures fell to -33C (-27F).

British Airways cancelled all European and UK domestic flights leaving Heathrow after seven o’clock 21 December. Channel Tunnel services remain badly affected after Eurotunnel closed its car shuttle service to new passengers.

Opposite the cold weather, we still could feel the warm in these frozen days, a restaurant owner offered tens of thousands of homeless people a hot meal in Krakow's main square. "The food is not the only important thing," restaurateur Janusz Kosciuszko was quoted as telling Euronews. "What is also important is that these people know that someone is thinking about them."

Hope everyone could find a warm to spend this winter!

Time honors the 'Chinese worker'

In China, they are known as nongmingong, meaning "farmers-turned-workers", a term that likely means more in Chinese than it does in English. And now this important segment of the Chinese workforce have come to world prominence, thanks to Time magazine naming them runners-up to Ben Bernanke in its latest Person of the Year awards.

While the US Federal Reserve chairman scooped the top honor, the fact that the nongmingong were singled out shows their importance on the global stage.

Leaving behind families and homes to migrate to China's cities, they take on largely manual work and are among the country's lowest-paid workers. They often go about their work in relative obscurity, despite numbering around 200 million. But while the nongmingong will garner a good deal of attention, Bernanke will be on the cover of the magazine, in recognition of his maneuvering of US monetary policy that helped steer the world's largest economy out of the financial crisis.Chinese workers ranked second were the only group named. The magazine described them as "an increasingly influential group in one of the world's most powerful economies."

This year, China's year-on-year gross domestic product (GDP) growth is set to exceed 8 percent. The growth rate means it will contribute about 20 percent of this year's global economic growth, Cheng Siwei, former vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said last month.

Analysts said the country's nongmingong were an important part of the economic miracle in recent years. "This group will have a great bearing on China's future development," said Chen Gong, chief economist and chairman of Anbound Group, a Beijing-based consulting firm.

"More importantly, they are linking the cities and the rural areas, playing a role in bridging the gap between the two," he said. The important role of migrant workers in the Chinese economy, however, accentuates the fact that China still relies on low-technology manufacturing to support its economic development, said Zhong Jiyin, an economist with the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS).

Monitor critique (4): Copenhagen Conference

The Copenhagen summit is closed in a remarkable chaos and controversy. This is, at least in parts of the world media and public evaluation of the results of the summit, then there would be slightly different as seen.
British media considered that the summit failed to reach the basic legally binding treaty is a complete failure, and the responsibility of failure is due to China.
U.S. media mainly focus on the president Obama and the Secretary of State Clinton turn the international climate talks pushed to a "new era" at a critical moment.
Mainly the Chinese media, Premier Wen Jiabao intervention is to promote the "Copenhagen agreement" reached the key.
Asia, Africa, Europe, rest of American and other national media coverage have different focuses.

The UK

Britain's mainstream media generally agreed that the Copenhagen summit is a complete failure and that the main reason for the failure is China's "stonewalling."
British Energy Minister Ed Miliband publicly accused China "veto" a number of mitigation proposals during the summit, leading to the summit into a "chaotic" situation.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has told the media that some developing countries "kidnapped" climate summit.
Only a small number of people in theUK suspect global warming caused by human activities, scholars in the media commented that the results of the summit is not a bad thing now.

Europe

Germany and France media seem to be less intense denounced the outcome of the summit than the British media. 
Many German media report dissatisfaction on the final agreement is clearly ignored the views of the European countries. 
In accusing the United States, China and other big polluters failed to fulfill their duties at the same time, many analysts pointed out that the United States, China, India and other powerful countries sign a climate agreement is already a big step forward . 
While the French media considered that the summit results do not generally satisfactory, but it seems the French commentators take more "gun" to the current plummeting public support for President Nicolas Sarkozy. 
"Le Monde" published a review article pointed out that the whole summit, Sarkozy has consistently demonstrated outstanding during the period. President ignores the co-ordination with other European countries.

American

Except European media, the United States and Canada, the media reaction to the summit is relatively mild, and some even "positive." 
U.S. and Canadian media both reported that suspected "man-made climate change”. There is also reported the results of many scholars believe that the fact is "not so bad," "should look at the next" information. 
South American powerful country Brazil's media are mainly focused on the summit demonstrated a new pattern of world politics further. 
Brazilian media have reported that the countries which signed the Copenhagen Agreement not only include U.S., China, there are also India, Brazil, Indonesia and even the Sudan and other countries. 
In addition, the Brazilian media is also generally agreed that the although results of the summit unsatisfactory, but is not a complete failure.

Asia and Africa

Most media in Asian countries responds to the summit is also relatively mild
While some Japanese media reported the summit matters, they focus on the summit during the negotiation process between China and the US-led "new world order."
Indonesian media reports questioned why Indonesia, the so-called "big country" is out during the summit, or even "was abandoned in the side"?
The Caribbean island Grenada media reports that the leaders of great powers unwilling to make "difficult decisions" and therefore the final answer is compromise.

Free condom as a gift

Copenhagen summit has started. In order to reduce carbon footprints during the trip, the "green" representative racked our brains for an answer. Some early days, don't go by plane or by bike, but in Denmark. This means of transport, comes from China, India and Africa, lest be unrealistic. Therefore, there is distinguished guest guarantee money to develop clean energy or trees to erase his project, the carbon footprints.

Don't you know? It is a new way to make carbon compensation. That is to buy a box of condom to a poor women of child-bearing age, let them have fewer children than emissions!

"Accidental pregnancy in 80m people"

This is not joke. It is the ideal of the British population think-tank "population trust fund" to put the Copenhagen summit "unprecedented, radical sex" carbon compensation method.

Offsetting Carbon offset (few) refers to the people to calculate daily activities of yourself, and Carbon dioxide emissions of tonnage offset these greenhouse gases needed economic cost, then donating money special enterprise or institution, the organization and emission reduction projects.
Last week, the ideal population trust fund new carbon, encourage rich countries compensation, donation in poor countries, the birth control measures to control population growth, slow global warming.

The popular, said the summer vacation to fly in the Caribbean, or open a four-wheel drive to buy a newspaper, guilt, donate some money. Charity organization took the money to persuade, to help countries of the third world women have fewer children.

The foundation of family planning, global warming is the most effective means of unit cost. Their research suggests that, in the birth of each input on four pounds, can reduce a ton of carbon dioxide emissions. And achieve the same reduction, planting cost is £8, wind, solar and is ￡15 pounds, hybrid cars technology is 56 pounds.

In the foundation of PopOffsets website, has a striking slogan: "the man! = emissions rapid population growth is the global warming is a major factor"! On a calculator website, help you calculate how much their emissions of carbon dioxide, the action to offset the carbon dioxide you need for developing countries to donate money to how contraception. For example, flew from London to Sydney, equal and 10 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, therefore, to donate 40 pounds, or Indian women help Kenyans have fewer children, can erase their carbon footprints.

The Funds said, never forced women contraception, not sponsor abortion, but to help control 80 million people each year against "accidental pregnancy."

Distraction?

Recently, this means in Britain carbon offset not often questioned. Recently, the British provides the Travel company carbon offset flights of responsibility ", "will no longer make had announced carbon offset. Company founder gus, Francis (Francis Justin, said the carbon compensation as "people" and "magic", want to be able to jail, don't change their behavior. Want to fly on the fly, you want to do, and comfort. In fact, everyone needs reduction, compensation, it will make the reduction of "distraction.

The poor, is also the most susceptible to the effects of climate change, any form of helping the poor response to climate change, welcome the funds. However, if the rich countries under the guise of compensation in carbon emissions, it's hard to convince people in poor countries give children the choice of poverty and dreams.

No wonder, the dispute between rich and poor nations, development and reduction of copenhagan between rival, replace the Kyoto protocol a summit of a major obstacle to international conventions.

Who should have fewer children than emissions? Is the developed countries of the middle? The third world is the poor? Do you think?

Hotest Album in this week: Susan Boyle' s dream

The 48-year-old Britain's Got Talent runner-up shifted more than 130,000 copies of her debut album as it went on sale on Monday. Experts at the Official Charts Company said it is now set to become one of the fastest sellers of the decade.

I Dreamed A Dream looks to be on track to vie for the accolade of having this year's biggest first week sale, a record held by JLS for their self-titled which sold over 230,000 copies earlier this month.
It also includes the standard Cry Me a River, as well as covers of Madonna's You'll See and The Monkees' Daydream Believer.

Boyle's album last week achieved the largest ever pre-order for online retailer Amazon. She said: ''It was my greatest ambition to release an album and I have finally achieved it. There is happiness out there for everyone who dares to dream.''

Boyle launched her album with a performance on The X Factor on Sunday during which she sang her version of The Rolling Stones song Wild Horses. A huge crowd watched the performance seven months after her sensational debut on Britain's Got Talent.

Miss Boyle said: "I've grown up a bit. I've become more of a lady. I don't swivel my hips as much, you know? It feels very surreal, as if it's not really happening." She said: "That was a statement I was trying to make, because I was bullied a lot at school - 'You may have done that to me when I was younger, but you can't do it to me anymore. I'm grown up now'." She added: "From no pressure to having all this pressure, I found it a bit suffocating. It was such a short space of time, it felt like a demolition ball really. It really came at me like a demolition ball.

The things which mattered to me before 'Britain's Got Talent,' they still matter to me now: my faith, my friends, family. I'm not so cooped up now; I'm part of the world."

How to Travel? —— written before Christma

Before go travel, about places, you do a bit of understanding and open up a list of must-see spots, or without any information and expectations, just depend on intuition or the wizard's guide to experience?

All different characters, different motives to travel, it is no matter good or bad, right or wrong. If you just want to find a comfortable environment to forget fatigue, resolve troubles, bask, eat a meal, and I still wish you happy. Sometimes I was such a mentality.

Tourists and those who travel

However, when I traveled alone in the age of 20, I was not so much charitable spirit.

I had classified the travelers into two categories: tourists and traveler. Tourists seek ease and comfort, with the burden of their material and cultural sunglasses flying and air-conditioning coaches go into other people's habitat space, live in star hotel themselves isolation with the locals, then walk away and leave after bought a couple of souvenirs.

Traveler is not, bumps in the crowded long-distance buses with the local farmers and construction workers, eats in a food stalls or find a shop. The accommodation is also simple.

Contact

I think that the tourism and travel is not really incompatible, but also feel appeal about the health and comfort. But in each place, we should try to talk to some local people, to evade international chain coffee shops or fast-food shops, as well as those tourist hotels which local residents isolated from.

Wherever she went up communication and contact with people is the travel writer Jan • Morris claims. She wrote a lot travel literature over the past half a century, in the just published "contact ", she talked decade’s experience of contact with the various characters.

Morris claims do not like travel literature, at least do not like those who give a guiding navigation books, her books never tell the reader what can be seen in one place, because she said that everyone will see different things.

What she likes to read is what she likes to write.It is a place for the author's feelings.

Severial rules

Now 83-year-old Morris said in a radio interview in order to immerge in wherever she go, she sets a few rules for herself.

One of the rules is based on writer Foster (EM Forster, 1879 - 1970). When he talked approach about how to understand the City of Alexandria, Egypt. That is "no target stroll."

Secondly, she said she was also in accordance with "the Bible • Psalms," which exhorted herself, "like a dog, open your mouth, smiled and walked in the city," to seek good returns from locals.

Flavor

Morris latest book is a text but all fine language and concise description. It is usually long as a half-page or whole page or short as three lines or five lines. Each of the articles only takes account of just one person she met, one thing, or one thought in mind.

For example, talking about his hat with an Australian child, discussing with a Dutch man anout the situation in the country, or one thought when watched a performance in Chinese Children's Palace.

There is an article write about the feeling generated when the native people watched her in mangrove swamps in Fiji. She felt as if she was swallowed by their eyes, and associated the place used to be a cannibalism place.

It initially feared her, but ultimately the felling was: "Actually, to be eaten in Fiji, I would not mind too much. Their pot will be placed on a variety of spices, they will slowly cooked with small fire and the whole occasion is certainly very happy. "

Travel Art

Morris obviously played a bit of imagination here, which is what I read from time to time over the past few years, “The Art of Travel”, the author strongly advocated for.

Philosopher Alain (Alain de Botton) analysis the people’s expectations before the trip in this book (in fact, is also largely of himself), as well as people's curiosity and the pursuit of the exotic, and "the art of opening eyes" and "the owner of a beauty."

Analysis: China's social stability are facing new challenges

Chinese socio-economic development for the public security departments to safeguard social stability and bring about new challenges. Minister of Public Security Meng Jianzhu December 1 in the "Seeking Truth", published an article, issued this warning.

Meng Jianzhu entitled the article "Focusing on strengthening the five capacity-building, enhancing the overall level of maintenance of stable", described on the challenges ahead while the authorities in maintaining social stability.

The article said, "At present, China's economic and social development show a series of new features in the stage, social stability are shown highlights of the contradictions among the people, high incidence of criminal offenses, the basic trend of the complex struggle against the enemy."

Meng Jianzhu said, "the Internet has become an important means for the anti-China forces to infiltration and sabotage, magnify the destruction, which has brought new challenges for the public securities to maintain national security and social stability."

He also said that "the people's legal rights awareness, significantly enhanced, public opinion, social supervision, an unprecedented increased, which put the public securities forward to new requirements for law enforcement activities."

China has extended through the Internet to achieve speech freedom.

Beijing separate commentaries on current affairs: Peng Dingding

The article referred to public securities, "there are still many outstanding issues and weaknesses that need to be solved urgently." Meng Jianzhu urged public security departments, "to deepen the public security information technology, law enforcement standardized construction, the building of a harmonious community relations."

Did not reach the real reason

In an interview with BBC China web interview, Beijing Independent political commentator Peng Dingding said Meng Jianzhu assessed the situation in line with China's actual conditions, but he did not touch on the real reasons that affect social stability.

He said, "are stereotyped, how to close to the people, how to do law enforcement, but in China's current system, the police are under the leadership of the party, who is the Government's tools."

In enhancing public relations problem, Peng Dingding says, "Since the beginning of 2008 has been emerged large-scale mass incidents, the public security departments should used the police with caution and do not abuse, firmly do not do what do not have to do, but it is not possible because the command right of the public security departments at the local government, funds are allocated by the government."

Internet

Meng Jianzhu mentioned in the article, the Internet has become the "the Internet has become an important means for the anti-China forces to infiltration and sabotage, magnify the destruction."

Peng Dingding said, "the government has realized the important of Internet. For a long time, the rule relied on blockading the news, it may be easier to carry out the guidance of public opinion. The Internet has such a tremendous destructive impacted the pattern."

He said, "China has extended through the Internet to achieve freedom of expression."

Peng Dingding considered that the article is worthiness because it noted that authorities want to publish authoritative information: "From Lhasa, 3 • 14 incident to Xinjiang 7 • 5 incidents, the Administration's approach has a more obvious transition. It is more open to the media in the events."

Meng Jianzhu acknowledged in the article about the people's legal rights awareness, significantly enhanced, public opinion, social supervision, an unprecedented increased, which put the public securities forward to new requirements for law enforcement activities, Peng Dingding think this shows that the authorities are helpless.

He said, "People have a sense of safeguarding rights, it is difficult as it has done with the government and the police authority to command the masses."

Credibility

The awakening of public awareness of their rights also forced the public security departments in dealing with issues of conflict and contradiction to make concessions.

Peng Dingding says, "I have seen many times, the public security department, said the pliable words: Everyone go away, do not give us trouble, the situation we understand, find the relevant departments to resolve the things. But we say these words are useless, without any practical value. The problems the public security departments are now facing, are their own can not be solved."

In commenting on the article, he said, "the article did not mention the substance of the problem. If not cure, but to curb the symptoms, are useless."

Only if the fundamental political system has changed, it will be possible satisfaction of the people. The party lead to the Government and the judiciary, has no right checks and balances, it is not credible."

He said, "this article, in my interpretation, that is to say, the Chinese public security authorities admitted: We have no method."
