It get worst if you end up in jail as you can be jailed for months before they bring charges on you and the counsulate is of not much help only visit once a month no calls no contact with almost no one we have a couple of families here in Puerto Rico going crazy for the lack of information about some relatives detained in there sleping on the floor with no medicines or winter clothes for sometime. I will think it a couple of times before going to that place. VMS

yeah, and we support the Chinese through commerce and vice versa; globally we (the world) allow events like the Olympics to be held there when the very meaning of democracy and true personal freedom are not even known in countries like that.

I have strong confidence that the Internet will be the changing factor in so many repressed countries. I have read how quickly the Chinese government censors and shuts down much of the www to the Chinese people but in light of the economy and less purchasing of China made products in the US that has previously let them understand America and other more free nations by its products. I hope that we will at least contribute to their understanding of justice by free speech on the internet.

What these people don't realize is that often the government leaders they are trying to petition are in fact aware of and usually the root of the problems they are petitioning. It's the fox guarding the hen house.

People do what you Inspect rather than what you Expect which is WHY "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Western tradition has a respect for the Laws of Physics (despite what was done to Giovanni Bruni) based in part on the Biblical injunction about "honest weights and measures."
Despite China's Authoritarian approach to government, I am expecting that China's government recognizes that its economic growth comes from producing products that work and that it does NOT want to revert to an impovershed society, and that China will create an authoritarian source of checks and balances that will impose honesty. It is either than or total revolution when the Chinese "middle class" loses its prosperity.

Clinton/Bush dynasty gave it all away to a mean communist government who treats their people like dirt. Bill Clinton has personally profited tens of millions of dollars in personal appearances in China and just like his dad and brothers, George W is set to do the same after leaving office. America made China a super power and for what? What really is the reason? Quick easy profit for a handful of American business people and politicians. I hope we keep friendly ties with China but I hope Obama can at least have a little backbone and stand up for "made in America".

The problems in China is nothing new.
These are the minor problems, the major ones are vilation of Human Rights through out China. It is extremely sad that these parents/relatives have no backings at all. No REAL support against these injustice. What the majority of the population does not see. The media ofcourse will not telivize this to regulate majority Han Chinese opinion. This is the fall of humanity when a gov't and the mass does not really care for its weaker population. China's economic Growth does not mean anything when its population cannot have a free society. A Society where people are not punished for speaking out against reppression. What is going on in Mainland and in Tibet is what the mass does not know and only way for the mass to open its eye is to grow compassion and do independent research so they can develop their own opinion instead of being force fed into them by all the Chinese Communist Party approved news. Make no mistake that almost all news that are broadcastted in China must be inline with the Party, otherwise they will face severe punishment.

This is not a Country that will want its population to grow it's universal human quality. The people must seek & develop their own opinion instead of being CCP's mindless drone.

I agree with Linda Wood....I think that the internet demon is already out of Pandora's Box, as far as China is concerned...It was part and parcel of the move by China to a more open economic and personal society.....
The internet is in China....and controlled media is essentially sidelined by that...
Thank God.
