The Baltimore Sun: Deal with devil proves deadly
2003-04-23
'China sat by idly for four months as SARS cases accumulated in its southern province, hoping nobody would notice so as to avoid embarrassment. The lack of a free press to alert the public to the developing pattern not only cost untold Chinese lives but put at risk tourists, business managers and other expatriates. Among them are citizens of nations that didn't believe that Beijing's oppression affected them...Suddenly, the world's investors recall why China is still a risky place to open a franchise or build a factory. If Beijing will lie about something as serious as its own public health crisis, how trustworthy are the delirious economic statistics it publishes? And if there's no democratic way to remove corrupt leaders, isn't corruption also a real threat to that cherished "stability," too?' -

2003-04-20Today, in order to force me to give up practising Falun Gong, the Chinese Embassy confiscated my passport. The Embassy's actions are inhumane. Looking at it from another angle, Chinese citizens have the freedom of belief, which is guaranteed by the Chinese Basic Law.
