The U.S. and China are two of the most important nations on the planet. One is known for torture, eliminating political opposition a government shrouded in secrecy.

The other is China.

And right now, China is doing it’s best impersonation of the Bushian War Machine to let the know the world the horrifying threat it faces in Tibet, lead by the blood-thirsty and sinister (and exiled) Dalai Lama.

China warns of “life and death struggle” over Tibet

BEIJING (Reuters) - China warned of a “life and death” struggle with the Dalai Lama on Wednesday, as it sought to end a wave of protests in its Tibetan regions with arrests and tightened political control.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has accused the Tibetan spiritual leader of masterminding the protests — which culminated in a riot on Friday in Tibet’s capital, Lhasa — from his base in the Indian town of Dharamsala, where he lives in exile.

“We are in the midst of a fierce struggle involving blood and fire, a life and death struggle with the Dalai Clique,” Tibet’s Communist Party secretary, Zhang Qingli, told a teleconference of the region’s government and Party leaders.

“Leaders of the whole country must deeply understand the arduousness, complexity and long-term nature of the struggle,” he said in remarks carried online by the China Tibet News.

China’s state-run media says 105 people surrendered to police for taking part in the Lhasa protests after authorities set a midnight deadline for rioters to turn themselves in over the violence that the Dalai Lama’s officials believe killed 99.
China, whose Communist troops entered Tibet in 1950 after taking power in Beijing, puts the death toll in Lhasa at 13. Foreign media are denied access to the area without government permission, making the competing claims difficult to verify.
China’s authorities are keen to stem the violence quickly and regain stability over the country’s remote far-west before the Olympics, which its capital, Beijing, will host in August.

But the Olympics also makes China more sensitive to international opinion over its policies in Tibet and its response to the unrest, and some activists overseas have demanded that the mountainous region be withdrawn from the Olympic torch relay that starts next Monday.

Now, first of all, can someone explain to me how exactly China got the 2008 Olympics? But more importantly than that, can you explain to me why the U.S. is not only unwilling to boycott the games, but actively promoting them and China?

“I’m going to the Olympics. I view the Olympics as a sporting event,” said George W. Bush. “I mean, you got the Dalai Lama crowd. You’ve got global warming folks. You’ve got, you know, Darfur,” he said. “I am not gonna you know, go and use the Olympics as an opportunity to express my opinions to the Chinese people in a public way.”

China is run by a group of a group of the most despicable humans, none of which could care less about the human rights of anyone. They defecate on free speech and freedom of the press, murder dissidents, and turn a blind eye to all manner of atrocities in the name of making money. The Chinese government is truly a blight on the Earth.

And they will be hosting the Summer Olympics. And young American athletes will perform for them.

Yet even with a horrifying record of human rights and the current crackdown and murder of dissidents in Tibet, the United States continues to buy their products and refuses to even consider the possibility of boycotting its Olympics. If you need to see what America stands for in 2008, look not only at the picture of a dead Iraqi child, but look at a dead Tibetan protester or a poor Chinese citizen, as well.

Because the U.S. in 2008 is pro-any human rights violation, so long as money bleeds out of it. They used to speak of how the Soviet Union had no soul. But now the U.S. embraces China, without a soul to be found anywhere within the embrace. Because the U.S. has sold off its last shred of humanity for a continued influx of cheap and poisonous children’s toys made by slave labor.

The U.S. and China have a lot in common. One country could care less about Chinese or Tibetan citizens and would gladly see them abused as much as humanly possible in order to feed its economy. And the other is China.
