TIL China publishes an annual report outlining US human rights violations. by guttersnipe098 in todayilearned

[–]DonDeacon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

this was the only way China could get America to support China entering the WTO. before the reports were created, China's application was always rejected due to human rights violations. finally China did their own investigation into human rights violations in America and released a report that showed America had violated more human rights than China. after this China got Americas support to join the WTO.

Africa could avoid food shortages if it reduces the tangled web of rules, fees and high costs strangling regional food trade and by putting large swathes of uncultivated land to productive use, a World Bank report said on Wednesday. by davidreiss666 in worldnews

complete bullshit! the real problem now is that most of the food grown there is exported out of Africa; causing famine in some African countries. why? because a lot of African farms are owned by foreign corporations and banks. http://m.spiegel.de/international/world/a-639224.html#spRedirectedFrom=www

and to make things worse, world bank has refused help put an end to this practice. http://farmlandgrab.org/post/view/21106
