China’s hand in Sri Lanka alredy heve 3rd vast killings. 1. During 1971, a group called JVP took arms and fought against the government. This group got support from China (arms and money). More then 50,000 people killed by SL forces in that ‘upraise’. 2. The same group has been banned and came back again in 1987 amd again 50,000 people killed by the SL government. 3. The current President is a sympathser of JVP and the part of the JVP group supporting the current government which is killing Tamils, who were discreminated since 1948. Tamils had a kingdom before british rule in Sri Lanka. Then, British gave the power to the majority Sinhalese when left Sri Lanka. India had a moderate influence in Sri Lanka but China’s influence in Sri Lanka was brutal. Lately China gave billions as donnation to Sri Lanka as a long term plan. This includes 7 fighter jets and lots of heavy armory with free of charge.

China, the human right lover* Contrary to popular belief, it is a fact.30 years ago, many Chinese died of starvation, did not have a roof over their heads…Not any more now. Are these the basic human rights?* Why you’re lied to.The media wants to create controversy to sell their stuffs.The politician wants to establish a common enemy, so you ignore more important problems that they cannot fix.The offense companies have more reason to expand.They all assume you are stupid and cannot analyze.* Why US is human right violator.How many we killed and how many Chinese killed abroad last year?How many innocent people we have to kill in Iraq before we stop?How many national guards are sent to the killing field against their will??Should we destroy another country accusing them to have ‘mass destruction weapons’?Why it is OK for us to own nuclear weapons that can destroy the entire world with a push of a button?Why we need a new carrier powered by two nuclear generators?How many citizens die of obesity as we encourage “good” food?How many poor remain to be poor for generations due to our generous welfare system?How many our children are killed every year due to our lack of gun control law? Gun control is not even an issue for both political parties. How many teenage mothers we encourage starting from the top politicians?How many Indians stay in their reservation forever and got drunk by not providing them with jobs?How we use up the world’s oil and blame China who uses less than ¼ of ours per capita?In addition, a good portion of China’s oil is used to manufacture our stuffs that we do not really need.How we blame China for military expenditure while ours is 10 times theirs?How we encourage our citizens to spend on credit and buy houses we cannot afford until the entire financial system collapses?After the reckless bailouts, what is the average debt of a US baby? Do they have a human right?When special interest groups donate millions to politicians, how can they make unbiased decisions for us?The list is endless.China has its own problems and we have our own. Let each work on her problems and we’ll have a better world. Your yardstick is good for your country but not mine, and China’s yardstick is comparing China 30 years ago. It is laughable to use the yardstick of a developed country (US) to measure a developing country (China), and vice versa. Depending on which yardstick you’re using, China could be a human right lover and US a violator – that could sound funny!

China and Human rights don’t go together. China doesn’t understand that humans would appreciate a better life to that of animals. As far as Chinese govt is concerned all humans including Chinese are meant to be seen if necessary for propaganda purposes and not heard at all.
