(Epoch Times) China regime fear the power of the example of protests for democracy in Hong Kong and are diligently working to block news of it from reaching mainland Chinese people.

A microblog post by a Chinese Netizen gives an idea what has the China Regine so worried:

“One can see the imperial (Chinese Communist Party) government’s dictatorship through this incident of the Hong Kong citizens peaceful disobedience” wrote Dai Zhaojun who identifies himself from Guangdong Province. “It uses violence to take democracy away from the Hong Kong people, which disappoints the Hong Kong people, the people of mainland China and the world.”

More than 195,000 have signed a White House Petition seeking the Obama Administration to support the peaceful Pro-Democracy movement and prevent a second Tiananmen massacre in Hong Kong but Obama remains silent.

Chinese Activist Hu Jia Finds Car Vandalized, Why the China Regime Won’t Stop Harassing Him

Thursday, September 18th, 2014

Hu Jia Car VandalizedChinese Human Rights Activist Hu Jia Tweeted Found his Car Vandalized This Morning, Is This Another Warning to him by the China Regime?

On the 05 January, 2008 I wrote here that Chinese authorities arrested Hu Jia at his Beijing home accusing him of “Subverting State Authority” a charge often times used against dissidents.

In August, Foreign Policy reprinted an open letter by Hu Jia to the China regime in which he described his life as a “prisoner of conscience” and being under constant surveillance by Chinese authorities, preventing most people from visiting him.

“I’m not alone. All Chinese dissidents are in prison, some are in official prisons, guarded by police that stand behind high walls and electric wires, others are in societal prisons buttressed by “stability maintenance” the name the Chinese Communist Party’s system of controlling what it sees as unstable elements and some like me, move back and forth between the two.”

In July, Radio Free Asia published a photo of Hu Jia after he reportedly was beaten up by “trained men’ (plainclothes cops) on a Beijing street.

Isn’t it ironic and quite frightening, that the annual Beijing Forum on Human Rights kicked off  this week when the China regime has such a dismal human rights record.

China Executes Islamic Jihadists in Xinjiang, If Only Obama Would Act So Swiftly and Decisively

(NY Times) China authorities in Xinjiang reported that eight people have been executed on charges related to last years terrorist attack at Tiananmen Square, which a car had plowed through tourists, erupting into flames killing three and injuring thirty nine others.

More than two years has now passed since ‘admitted’ Ft Hood Islamic Jihadist Nidal Hasan was convicted and sentenced to death for the November, 2009 shooting rampage that left 13 dead and 31 injured, which Obama to this day labels as workplace violence instead of calling it what it is.

If only the United States and the Obama Administration would act as swiftly and decisively when it comes to ‘admitted’ and subsequently convicted Islamic Jihad Terrorist Thugs that murder Americans.

Gao ZhishengChina Regime Imprisoned Human Rights Atty Gao Zhisheng for Zealously Representing his Persecuted Clients–How he Has Aged is Shocking !

China Human Rights Atty Gao ZhishengIn 2009 I posted this picture of Gao Zhisheng holding his son Tianyu taken before Gao’s disappearance from his home in Shanxi

(RFA Chinese) Gao’s spouse Geng He: ‘I don’t accept the CPC’s Sentencing–Its his right to return home, subsequent to his release from a China prison.

Christian Solidarity Worldwide reports today, that Gao is still being prevented from obtaining medical care despite his “broad range” of physical and mental health problems.

In March, 2009 I wrote here and here about Geng He and her two children, that fled to the United States seeking political asylum (which was subsequently granted) following years of torture and politically persecution by the China authorities, unfortunately much of the main stream media has ignored this story over the years mainly because it doesn’t fit their narrative of a so called ‘Progressive China’ instead of referring to it as a oppressive, totalitarian Communist regime.

Where’s the Moral Outrage Following the Murder of USC Chinese Grad Student Ji Xinran?

Family of Chinese Grad Student Murdered in L.A.Grief Stricken Family of USC Chinese Grad Student Ji Xinran Murdered Last Month in Los Angeles –Image: L.A. Times@Twitter

(The Nanfang) Four Hispanic teenage thugs charged in the grizzly murder of 24 yr old USC Grad Student Ji Xinran from China, plead ‘Not Guilty’ according to the L.A. Times Tuesday in Los Angeles and are being held without bond.

The four Hispanic teenage suspects are accused of beating Ji Xinran to death with a baseball bat as he was walking home in July, from a study group.

In April, 2012 I wrote here about the cold blooded murders of two Chinese USC Grad Students Ming Qu and Ying Wu and asked, When will the Rev’s Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, head to Los Angeles to protest and demand justice for the two Chinese Grad students?

Where’s the moral outrage when Black or Hispanic Thugs murder Chinese students? When will the race baiting so called Civil Rights champions of the left, demand that we have a ‘conversation in this country’ about Black and Hispanic Thugs targeting Chinese immigrant students?
