Thousands Of Chinese Citizen-Slaves Attack Government Offices
How would you like it if a carload of government thugs kidnapped your 8 months pregnant wife off the streets of Bridgetown, took her to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, tied her to a gurney and administered a labour-inducing drug and then killed your child by plunging a needle into it’s brain as it was being born? Then they forcibly surgically sterilize your wife so she can never become pregnant again – and dump her on the street in front of your home the next day.
What would you do?
Exactly.
And that’s what thousands of “peasants” did two days ago in China.
The slaves are rattling their chains.
What will the Barbados Government do about it?
I’ll tell you what they will do… nothing.
God forbid that Mia Mottley and her crew would ever do anything to jeopardize the blood money gifts from the communists who form the Government of China.
Excerpts from the International Herald Tribune…
Chinese villagers riot over stricter population-control
By Joseph Kahn
Monday, May 21, 2007BEIJING: An intensive campaign to enforce strict population-control measures prompted violent clashes between the police and local residents in southwestern China in recent days, witnesses said, describing the latest incident of rural unrest that has alarmed senior officials in Beijing.
Villagers and visitors to several counties of the Guangxi autonomous region in southwestern China said rioters smashed and burned government offices, overturned official vehicles and clashed with the riot police in a series of confrontations over the past four days.
They gave varying accounts of injuries and deaths, with some asserting that as many as five people were killed, including three officials responsible for population control work. A local government official in one of the counties affected confirmed the rioting in an interview by telephone but denied reports of deaths or serious injuries.
The violence appeared to stem from a two-month-long crackdown in Guangxi to punish people who violated the country’s birth control policy. The policy limits the number of children families can have legally.
Corruption, land grabs, pollution, unpaid wages and a widening wealth gap have fueled tens of thousands of incidents of unrest in recent years, many of them occurring in rural areas that have been left behind in China’s long economic boom.

According to villagers and witness accounts posted on the Internet, officials in several parts of Guangxi mobilized their largest effort in years to roll back population growth by instituting mandatory health checks for women and forcing pregnant women who did not have approval to give birth to abort fetuses.

Nong said the crackdown was widespread in several counties in Guangxi. He said local courts had declined to hear any cases related to the matter, citing an edict from local officials.
Other villagers reached by phone described an escalating series of confrontations that began Thursday and continued through the weekend.
Several described in detail an assault on the government offices of Shapi Township, Bobai County, by thousands of peasants.
They said villagers broke through a wall surrounding the government building, ransacked offices, smashed computers and destroyed documents, then set fire to the building itself. There were inconsistent reports of deaths and injuries during that clash and a subsequent crackdown by riot police officers.

This article was posted hours ago and no Bajan has been interested enough to comment upon it… or the fact that the world’s major media is largely ignoring the story.
If it were happening in South Africa to black women – would we then care?

my question in relation to this is were r all the human rights groups voices ,,if it was a convicted murderer who had just had his death sentence read we wouldnt be hearing the last of it from human rights groups and to me this is a basic human rights issue

Cliverton,
For what it’s worth, it’s disgusting and I applaud those who decided to fight back.
I’ve never thought much of China’s populatation control policies. On paper (i.e., emotions aside) they may seem to make sense and be beneficial, but in the real world, it’s nonsense and the riot is a result of this nonsense.
If you want to have a kid, go ahead, but at least use some judgement and commonsense and make sure that you can afford the kid and raise the him/her with sound morals/ethics (whatever those are these days.)
If the Government wants to do something about population, then educate the masses about over-population, talk about birth control, give out contraceptives, etc. Let the masses decided at the end of the day to have a child or not, not the Government. The Government is not God (or The Great Pumkin.)
Yours,
The Bystander.

???????????????,
Might be a money issue as well. China will soon be (or is, depending on who you ask) a major economic superpower.
Are you going to rock the boat with a country that has a population (a.k.a a market for your goods/services) of 1+ billion people? U.S. interests probably won’t bother. As for the Europeans, I haven’t a clue.
Still, the human rights groups should be saying something. Then again, if MSM (main stream media) isn’t covering it, it isn’t news.
Yours,
The Bystander.

BFP can make a comment like this on the post about machette murdering wife:
“As to women not murdering, so many women murder their children that most societies have special infanticide laws governing this crime because it is realised that a good portion of hormone-driven new mothers are half crazy. That is reality and the law reflects it.”
But then then talk about women’s rights in China!!!!!! Give me a break.
why is it that your focus on china largely relates to abortion policies and family planning (i abhor china’s policy btw)? is it because of your right wing evangelical sympathies? why don’t you also highlight the oppression of tibetans or the ethnic uighurs ? or is it because the uighurs are also muslim and hence their plight is not important. afterall muslims are terrorists right!

We all pick our causes, bias… Not everybody can right every injustice.
Thus some of our readers are not interested in our causes.
HOWEVER… if you would be kind enough to write a short introduction to the issues of oppression in Tibet or the slaughter of the uighurs we would be pleased to print it – probably unedited.
Please email it to barbadosfreepress@yahoo.com

Global human population is 6,600,000,000 and rising.
Most of that in just two countries:
China, with about 2,500,000,000
and India with 1,500,000,000
Push is coming to Shove elsewhere
but Push has come to Shove, in China.

Cliverton,
SHHHH! Don’t shout about this too loud. It might make the Chinese think that it’s the government that has a backbone and they might do what they did in St. Lucia. Pack up and leave.
I have had the un-fortunate privilege of seeing video clips of these horrible forced abortions, the mothers are sometimes left tied to the bed for 24-48 hrs with the remains of their infant in a plastic bag next to them.
But God forbid they pick up and leave and we get stuck with some half finished buildings that Bajans could be working on.
Keep up the good fight my friend!

PS
You see people, Cliverton and I can actually agree on something. LOL

BFP:
Nowhere in the article was their any mention of aborting 8-month-old foetuses by sticking needles into their brains. Stick to reporting the facts. Excessive spin and sensationalism only reduces your credibility.
May 22, 2007 at 11:39 pm
Hello Bajanboy
No… in the article they don’t mention 8 month fetuses and needles
HOWEVER, if you care to look at some of our past articles, or the US Senate Hearings, or Amnesty International or just Google “forced abortion in China” you can see all the proof you wish to see.
With photos if you really want that too.
Do that before you start with your “Excessive spin and sensationalism only reduces your credibility.” B.S., OK?
May 22, 2007 at 11:43 pm
Start with Amnesty International

Or maybe this…
A report from India’s Sunday Telegraph confirms that the abuse continues. “More than 120,000 people in eastern Shandong province alone have been forced to undergo abortions and sterilisations over the past few months said Chen Guangcheng, 34, a blind social activist from Linyi town in eastern Shandong where some of the worst cases occurred”. The Telegraph reports the story of farmers Zhu Hong Ying and her husband, Xia Jian Dong, from the Linyi region; the area where Chen Guangcheng alerted the world about the abuses this summer.
Zhu fled to Linyi city after learning that authorities were brutally enforcing the One Child policy in March. After her three sisters were arrested, Zhu returned; her son was forcibly aborted by having a needle filled with poison injected into her womb. Looking at her dead son after he was delivered still-born the following day was “the most heartbreaking moment of my life,” Zhu said.

In the face of everything on the net, to deny that this is widespread and common practice by the communist government of China is like denying that Hitler gassed Jews.
Some folks just don’t want to see the truth.

BajanBoy,
Cliverton is correct! I have seen the videos. Some of the “milder” ones can be found on LiveLeak.

that done happen already.
in the past few months bfp’s cred is dwindling

BajanBoy & DunHappen, you guys need to get your facts right. Things are bad in rural areas of China, not only in Linyi (where recently, a 29 year old woman was found to have 20+ needles inserted into her when she was a baby because her grandparents were upset she wasn’t male), but also in the island of Hainan where female infanticide rates are among the highest in China. These reports were highlighted in TIME magazine and even in my small local newspaper. I don’t wish to flame you guys for having weak and untrue arguments but perhaps its time for you guys to pick up a paper too.
I agree with BFP on bias. You gotta pick your battles. I don’t think anyone from the UN is going to join the WWF soon.
