China finds "cure" for AIDS: Beat the victims to death

XIONGQIAO, China -- Xiong Jinglun was lying in bed on the night of the raid, resting his frail, AIDS-weakened body when the shouting outside jarred him awake. The 51-year-old farmer struggled to his feet and shuffled out of his shack to investigate, but someone had cut off the electricity in the village, and it was difficult to see in the pitch dark.

Suddenly, several men wearing riot gear and military fatigues surrounded him, struck his head with a nightstick and knocked him to the ground, he recalled. Xiong begged them to stop hitting him, crying out that he was an old man, that he had AIDS. But he heard one of the assailants shout: "Beat them! Beat them even if they have AIDS!"

Hundreds of thousands of poor farmers like Xiong contracted the virus by selling blood in the early 1990s at state hospitals and private clinics run by local officials and their friends.

I wonder if Bill Clinton is offering condolences?

Further proof that the Chinese have become worse than fascists. They view human life as expendable at a very cheap price. If one of the units becomes defective, just unplug it and throw it in the garbage. China may very well win out if noone in the 'civilized' world has the courage to stand up and denounce them.

Oh well, once you have socialized medicine, I guess you have to cost contain somewhere.

And now radio ads for China tours air, extolling the grandeur of the Yangtze.

How 'bout that SARS?

Visit beautiful China, where dangerous outbreaks are denied and allowed to spread world-wide.

Come get a souvenir of the great experiment--and infect your family and nation.

Peoples Republic of Communist Nightmare--beats AIDS--literally.

Seriously, wouldn't an AIDS-infected Chinese person be TWICE as "multicultural" as a "regular" Chinese? if it's a woman, that's even better. If they have SARS, quadruple that. The ultimate would be an AIDS/SARS-infected, handicapped, retarded, female, lesbian, vegan muslim chinese person.
