This is why our constitutional freedoms and a decentralized govt are so important. These kinds of things still do happen in the world. They are not relics from a distant past.

Here is an article about the news and internet crackdown.

If we continue to give away our rights to combat the War against Whatever (every administration has one), we will become more and more like China.

Well, the "free traders" are right. China is rapidly becoming more and more free and open. People can assemble to present grievances.

(Just one little step remains, can they make it back home alive.. well hey, who's counting?)

How about we boycott this years version of the Olympics?????

But it requested access to the region to see how Chinese police were dealing with detained protesters.

Don't request it demand it and set consequences for non-compliance. The Chinese are butchers and will imprison, torture and kill as many as the want to if they can suppress news of it and keep the world from doing anything but whining about it.
