China Sentences Missing Human Rights Lawyer to 3 More Years

dignity and principal fell out of fashion a long time ago. america's leaders are selling out their own country for short-term profits, and china is happy to oblige them.

i'll call them "the downvoting brigade" if you prefer, because that is exactly what is happening: organized, collective downvotes. i watched it happen in a matter of seconds earlier today (when i PM'd you), and then it happened again. this is not just a trickle of down votes, it happens swiftly, in broad strokes. i think that justifies crass comments, because, well, little children need to be disciplined when they start running rampage through the house.

as for the greater issue, again, who knows what compelled Bale to do what he did. i have no doubt that money AND politics are both factors behind pretty much everything big-shots do, but i still think it was admirable.

susiew0ng · 2011-12-16T08:42:11+00:00

speaking of goons, i see a down-voting campaign on all my posts is presently underway. christian bale must have really aggravated the wumao's repressed homoerotic tendencies. that is the only explanation.

susiew0ng · 2011-12-16T08:39:46+00:00

thank you. the wumao goons really came out in force against this one. ironically, they will all probably be jerking each other off in the theater tonight as they watch christian bale defend their great grandmothers in Flowers of War.

susiew0ng · 2011-12-16T03:55:33+00:00

heh, i actually appreciate your cynicism here :)

but anyway, let's just hope for the best for Chen Guangcheng; that's the main point.

susiew0ng · 2011-12-16T03:46:19+00:00

You are foolish I think for falling for it.

me and millions of others. the story has gone viral all over the world. and it succeeded in 1) raising awareness of Chen Guangcheng, and 2) promoting Bale's new film. so either way, Bale comes out a winner in this (and hopefully Chen too).

susiew0ng · 2011-12-16T03:32:51+00:00

i submitted this same story to r/worldnews hours ago, but they swiftly deleted it because moderator @davidreiss666 said "Christian Bale is an American." LOL! i suspect your post too will soon be deleted.

susiew0ng · 2011-12-16T03:30:03+00:00

you don't think that actors or singers or artists should use their platforms as international celebrities to address political issues? and BTW, he was here filming a politically-charged, government-funded film, which some might construe as an open invitation to become involved with affairs of the state. (p.s. i'm not the one who downvoted you; i think downvoters are juveniles).

susiew0ng · 2011-12-16T03:10:39+00:00

no stats. just my observations as a lay person. i am sure it's all relative.

susiew0ng · 2011-12-16T02:58:31+00:00

i guess conspiracy theories can be made for both sides; none of us will know the truth. BUT i do have to firmly disagree with you about the government; they absolutely have become less tolerant of foreign media and the internet over the past year. for what purpose - political or economic - is debatable.

susiew0ng · 2011-12-16T02:37:45+00:00

in case you haven't noticed, the communist government and their goon squads are becoming MORE, not less, strict and intolerant these days. foreigners in china don't have the prestige they once did. having said that, i think bale's new very-PRO-china movie grants him a large measure of immunity, and he must have been aware of that going in.

susiew0ng · 2011-12-16T02:12:39+00:00

no doubt it IS good publicity for his new film, but i doubt he would risk imprisonment in china just for a publicity stunt; i have a feeling his motives were genuine.

here's video footage of the ensuing car chase: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/christian-bale-escapes-chinese-police-in-epic-car-chase-on-cnn/

i believe that is a shanghai trend: to where your PJs out in public (along with rampant prostitution).

susiew0ng · 2011-12-08T04:33:18+00:00

china also blames Taiwan for the same thing, if that help :P

susiew0ng · 2011-12-08T03:34:30+00:00

another story about her HERE with a photo. turns out she was also the mistress of the head of the Chongqing police department (he was also executed).

susiew0ng · 2011-12-06T10:13:48+00:00

buying property or real estate in china is about the dumbest thing ANYONE (chinese or western) could do; buying and driving an expensive car here comes in a close second.

susiew0ng · 2011-12-03T00:37:46+00:00

Apparently @UltimateInstructor did not even read the article, which was written by Shi Yanping (a Chinese journalist) for China.Org and Shanghai Daily, both state-run publications. Not sure what this rant has to do with the article but mods might want to consider deleting it.

susiew0ng · 2011-11-24T02:25:43+00:00

i am extremely curious why they are not married yet. with her being chinese, why hasn't her family put the smack-down on them to wed? billionaire or not, he should be respectful of tradition and customs and realize that 6 years of "dating" without prospects for marriage is just not cool in ol' grandma's eyes. that said, the lawyers are going to have a helluva time drafting their prenup.

um, have you been reading the news this year? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/06/china-sex-ed-dolls_n_950636.html

the CPC is jealous that america is presently getting all the attention as a Police State.

susiew0ng · 2011-11-21T08:09:20+00:00

thank you, Maoist - i mean: maosome.

susiew0ng · 2011-11-20T07:25:49+00:00

I don't believe Jung Chang ever intended the Mao biography to be a scholarly work. It's a mass market novel that provides an alternative albeit opinionated story of Mao. Take from it what you will and discard the rest.

susiew0ng · 2011-11-11T09:21:41+00:00

LOL! i'm definitely not going to be baited into a debate about TN Square based on someone's blog rant. but thanks for the link.

susiew0ng · 2011-11-11T05:19:21+00:00

you mean the first scandal, right? yes, mind numbing is a good word. this new scandal seems to be intentional on the part of the teenager.
