Just in time for the People’s Republic of China’s 60th Anniversary! http://bit.ly/1bis9d

Dear Laura!
Please first read and think before starting to drink celebrating 60th Anniversary of China’s Communist Party that does not represent people of China in the least.

A facinating, if brief, peek into a land so foreign to me that I have no perspective other than the media headlines. I’m grateful for this little nudge to begin my education, and I think that Lijia Zhang’s deft bridging of two worlds will help to facilitate that.

Although Ms. Zhang said she doesn’t feel much limitation writing in China, Mr. Read did mention that if he writes about Falun Gong, they don’t like it. Why? Because the Communist regime is afraid that people know the truth: One hundred million people are persecuted for following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance to improve themselves, they are put in forced labor camps, prisons, tortured and killed for simply speaking out what they believe, and after realizing the nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), more than 61 million Chinese people have declared the withdrawal from the party and its affiliated organizations. Any seemingly tolerance by the regime towards other minor criticism is to distract people’s attention from these critical ones. That’s also why we see internet blockage, CCP’s control/influence of Chinese media outside of China and infiltration into Western media, etc. While happily trading and buying, same as under the violent thought control, people’s consciences may fade away quickly. Sincerely hope all Oregonians can treasure the freedom we have and search for the uncensored truth of China, since the country is definitely affecting our life one way or another.

China is a great threat to us. They have free education and medical care. There is not the great inequality experienced in the US. They don’t support rogue regimes like Israel and Saudi Arabia.
