What is the Meaning Behind the “Shoe & Egg” Throwing Incident at Wuhan University?

Friday, May 27th, 2011

An Empty Lectern Buried in Shoes –Kuang Biao QQ.com

China Netizens are hailing a student who claims to have thrown the first shoe at the Architect of the Great Firewall of China Dr. Fang Binxing subsequently also being pelted with eggs.

Police in Central China, have refused to comment on the alleged attack on Fang Binxing at Wuhan University by the student identifying himself as ‘Hanunyi 1’ whose Internet posts have been deleted by censors designed to sniff out news and information that the central government determines to undermine a harmonious society.

The real meaning of this “shoe incident” is that Chinese people like all other people in the world regard freedom as a basic human right and everybody wants it.

On the 21 December, 2008 I wrote here that free speech is essential in the pursuit of learning, every idea or thought is not an avenue of incitement, censorship only results in finding cracks in the Great Firewall of China.

Obama Lecturing Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

The cold temperature between B. Hussein Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu, noted a new low according to the NY Times, tensions between Washington and Jerusalem are at an all time high.

Why did the Obama’s throw a lavish State Dinner for China Communist Party President Hu Jintao and not for American ally Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who shares our values of freedom, democracy and human rights?

Obama has reportedly told senior aides and his personal allies, that he doesn’t believe that Netanyahu, will ever be willing to make the kind of big concessions that will lead to a ‘peace deal’ between Israel and Islamic Jihadist Hamas/Palestinian Authority.

This morning I wrote here that Hamas/Palestinian Authority has rejected Israels’ right to exist.

Caixin Magazine Online Special Investigation Chinese Babies Abducted

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

Caixin Magazine Special Investigation–Babies Lost

Part of Caixin Special Investigative Report details how one China Family Planning Agency coordinated a trail of fake evidence and demonstrating cooperation from a number of government agencies.

Yang Ling was the first born child to Yang Libing and his spouse Cao Zhimei, in the mountainous and impoverished Gaoping County, Hunan Province on 29 July, 2004

Like many other peasant’s in Yang’s village, Yang and Cao, were forced to join the ranks of migrant workers to earn a living. They left their home for Shenzhen when their daughter was only only 6 months old, entrusting her to the care of Yang Ling parents, with no thought that their daughter would be taken away by family planning agencies one year later.

Before Yang and Cao departed, the family visited a photo studio to take a portrait of their happy new family–this photo became the last picture the couple has of their daughter Yang Ling
