Sky News has made an exclusive investigation into
the sinister secrets behind China’s booming economy.
The Chinese government is accused of using police brutality
to remove people from their homes and into lives of squalor and poverty.
Just think if Hilery Clinton gets in and the faces of those who wait on her...

China was docile under Mao....now it's a vicious raw materials eating machine.

Libertarian ping! To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message here.
I heard that report yesterday on the Alex Jones Show.
China's version of eminent domain : First they kick you out onto the streets, then they shoot you right in the middle of the streets if you dare say one word.
Alex Jones Show is a populous which is extreme right almost socialist it is very confusing with those on the far right for they seem sometimes to crossover or blur the line!
Before we were so blessed with conservative talk radio and Free Republic I use to listen to short wave and it took a long time to figure out where these folks are in the scheme of things!
I know this sound strange but consevative are really moderation, and the moderates are weak socialist!
For me it is to know where the benchmark is than work from there.
My Benchmark is Judeo/Christian laws if it fit within those guidlines it works for me!

Too much truth to that, for comfort.
Beijing to renovate Great Hall of People for energy saving
GOV.cn Saturday, June 17, 2006
The Great Hall of the People, one of the best known buildings in Chinese capital will be renovated to make it more energy-efficient, the Beijing Daily said Saturday.
Kong Xiangyi, the deputy director of the Administration of the Great Hall of the People, said experts are currently examining themammoth building in preparation for the renovation work.
The renovation work may take three or five year and could reduce its energy consumption by 20 percent, he said.
The renovation of the Great Hall of the People is part of an ambitious program that will see the reconstruction of existing private and public buildings to make them more energy efficient.
By 2010, the government plans to reconstruct 25 percent of the buildings in big cities, 15 percent in medium-sized cities and 10 percent in small cities for energy saving.
As the first step, the reconstruction of buildings involving major departments of the central government has already begun.
With half of the world's new buildings built in China every year, the government is attaching greater importance to energy efficiency of buildings.
Located in the Tian'anmen Square in central Beijing, the Great Hall of the People is the place where Chinese leaders meet foreign leaders and the National People's Congress holds its annual sessions.
The construction of the Hall began in October 1958 and was completed in August 1959. It was hailed as a miracle at that time.Several rounds of refurbishment have been done to it since then.
The Hall has a total floor area of over 170,000 square meters. The biggest chamber in the Hall has around 10,000 seats.
Thanks.
