A woman is taken away for execution after being sentenced to death in Beijing in 2001.

I see these but we call the lunch waggon at work

[Dog]

Gives new meaning to the term Chinese take-out..

[Publius Maximus]

Thanks for the case against free trade with China. Somehow our own luminaries are able to overlook the fundamental character of the regime in order to come up with a rationale for "most favored nation" status.

[Pahuanui]

Shades of Nazi Germany. How suprising.

Chinese try mobile death vans

We've had them for years and they're called SUVs ;-)

[Cap'n Crunch]

You beat me to it, I was going to chime in with the "most favored Nation" line.

Repeat the mantra..."China is our friend"

I read in the paper a few years ago that a man was executed in China for stealing a toaster, and a farmer was executed because he grew a crop other than what the government wanted him to grow.

Weren't they called "Corvairs."

Protectionist lobby propaganda. China has changed a lot since Mao. China is a lot more business friendly and free market oriented then anywhere in the Western hemisphere with the possible exception of Switzerland.

[Voice in your head]

"Chinese authorities keep execution numbers a secret, but Western human rights monitors believe it is about 15,000 a year, more than the rest of the world's judicial executions combined."

Plenty more where those came from.

Where's Ralph Nader when you need him.

Remember, if every Nader voter voted for Gore instead, Gore would now be president. Thank you Ralph.

These aren't the first death vans they've used.

China’s latest weapon in advancing its abortion and population control campaign is the “mobile abortion clinic”, a white van containing a bed, body restraints, suction pumps, and other abortion related equipment. Chinese officials announced that 600 abortion vans will be dispersed to the vast Chinese countryside in order to better enforce China’s population control agenda.---Link

Future Soylent Green...

[skeeter]

I wonder if each van will come with a speaker & play a little tune like the ice cream man.

[usnret99]

Hummm. I thought we were the one's constantly looked and being pointed out as being barberic because of our stance on capital punishment.

[kaboom]

Will this be on the next episode of "Monster Garage"?

[Cap'n Crunch]

I do not believe China is our ally, they may be getting better but they have a long way to go. I can't understand why we gave them the technology that they can now use to destroy us. And have possibly shared that technology with North Korea.

I know that Catholics in that country are being imprisoned, tortured and executed.

[weikel]

Im not interested in America fighting for the interest of the Vatican abroad. I'd tell you what I think of the catholic church but I'd be banned. Clinton gave North Korea the nuke tech.

Ask yourself this if you were China would you want to give that whackjob Kim the capability to annilate Beijing and Shanghai. China doesn't control Kim.

That was simply awful! It took me a while to stop laughing so I could respond. Now excuse me while I compose myself.

So, how many has Saddam Hussein ordered?
