2. Nevada should be leery of teaming with China 08.24.08
On a recent three-week pre-Olympics visit to China with my wife, I came face to face with China's totalitarianism and lack of freedoms. Even innocent questioning about China's treatment of Tibetan freedom adherents, its banning of "unapproved" churches, its jailing of members of the Falun Gong meditation and exercise movement, and its censorship of the media brought hostile replies such as "Why are you asking me this?" "What business of this is any of yours?" "This is China's concern, not yours."

3. The Road to Beijing 08.09.08
There is a school of thought that says nothing, nothing must ever be done that offends the Chinese Communists. Of boycotting the opening ceremony, one typical U.S. columnist said, “It would be a deadly insult and humiliation to an insecure government that would not forgive or forget.” The problem is, almost everything seems to offend the Chinese Communists.

4. CCP Pre-Olympic Propaganda Blitz: Foreshadowing a Frame-up? 08.08.08
Based on recent Chinese Communist Party tactics, the Falun Dafa Information Center expressed concern today that the Party may attempt to stage an incident, perhaps even one involving violence, and then label the actors as Falun Gong practitioners. The Center urged media workers in Beijing to question and thoroughly investigate any Chinese Communist Party (CCP) characterizations of Falun Gong, especially in light of these concerns.

9. Screws tighten on persecuted [group] 07.26.08
The Olympic Games are less than two weeks away, and the country's vast security network has stepped up efforts to ensure an incident-free Games. This includes random sweeps of housing compounds to ensure that "undesirables" are picked up or scared away into someone else's jurisdiction, making life even more precarious for people like Helen.

Her husband Yu Zhou, a famous folk singer and also a practitioner, died from torture just before Chinese New Year.
