Misguided CCP Policies: Politicizing Pork and Depoliticizing the Olympic Games
2007-08-28According to a Financial Times report in August 2007, the official pork supplier for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games will raise pigs with organic feed in an isolated place, meaning no hormones or similar chemicals will be used, thus providing athletes with safe pork. But it will take between one and three months more than the usual way pigs are raised. However, Qianxihe Group, the supplier, was not intimidated and said, "We are the exclusive pork supplier to the Olympic Games. This is a political task, and cost is not a factor in a political task." The "politicizing" of raising pigs has become the object of ridicule among Chinese Internet users, and some people commented, "The pigs within the system are most fortunate!" Of course, this is not to say that the Chinese communist regime respects pigs' rights; but rather they are showing respect for foreigners' wellbeing. And thus there are people who ask, "Now that foreigners are safe, what about us Chinese?" -

Practitioners clarify the truth serenely and tell people the facts, which is admired by the Chinese people. Many police officers are writing letters to apologize to Falun Dafa practitioners, saying that from now on they will protect them.
