Google deve fechar o seu site na China

Medida, tida como certa (leia aqui - para assinantes da Folha ou do UOL), faz parte de série de contenciosos entre ocidente e China. Caso o mundo ocidental não comece e enfrentar e disciplinar a China, uma hora - não muito longe e talvez em nosso tempo de vida - poderá ser tarde demais.

新年快樂 -Feliz Ano do Tigre aos amigos chineses!

No calendário gregoriano o ano novo chinês cai sempre em data diferente, pois os chineses seguem um calendário lunar.

Parabéns! Afinal, hoje é o verdadeiro ano novo para a maior população humana!

China e condições precárias de trabalho

Somos cor-responsáveis pelas condições aviltantes de trabalho na China, o que também contribui para a concorrência desleal e perda de postos de trabalho nacionais.

Sempre tive dificuldades para acordar cedo. Quis comprar um rádio despertador que fosse alto o suficiente para meu sono pesado. Escolhi um que não fosse feito na China.

Boicote os produtos da China e de outras ditaduras.

As pessoas lêem com pouco interesse na mídia os confrontos étnicos na China, na região chamada de Turquistão Oriental pelos uigures e Xinjiang pelos chineses. 漢族 ou han, é a etnia dominante na China e entre os chineses que emigraram ao mundo, inclusive ao Brasil. Correspondem a 92%da população da China e são o maior grupo étnico de todo o mundo. No Turquistão Oriental, apenas 10% da população era da etnia han, mas políticas expansionistas e de incorporação pelo governo central da China aumentou essa participação para cerca de 40% nos dias atuais.

(exemplo de chinês da etnia han)

De origem turcomena, os uigures são um povo de fé islâmica (xiita ou sunita). Anexados pela China, formam uma das muitas etnias oprimidas e discriminadas no país, a exemplo dos tibetanos. Diferente do Tibet, o Turcomenistão Oriental recebe pouca simpatia do ocidente, em grande parte, acreditam, por serem muçulmanos. Provavelmente estão certos, como pensa a ativista uigur Rebiya Kadeer, que vive exilada nos EUA.

Conflitos recentes ocorreram e foram relatados pela mídia internacional em ambas as "regiões autônomas" - uigur e tibetana. Ambos arrasados com mão de ferro pelo exército chinês e Governo Central.

O maior ressentimento uigur em relação aos chineses han é, além da falta de autodeterminação, com as ondas recentes de massivos assentamentos de hans, que além de minoria no país (China), os uigures estão se tornando minoria em sua terra natal.

Triste pensar que a democracia ainda sequer tem qualquer perspectiva na China continental.

R.H. do Inferno na China

LI MOWANG passa a integrar a equipe do R.H. do Inferno. O belo chinesinho MOWANG, no auge de seus 19 aninhos, contratado arbitrariamente por mim, passará a dividir com Tábata (safadinha!) nosso quadro de estagiários. Mostrando serviço, recebemos sua primeira informação sobre um homem que, no início desta semana, sentou na privada e levou mordida de uma cobra no pênis. Vejam:

Não lê mandarim? Que pena...

Lição para a China

Os chineses perderam de apresentar um grande talento como a saudosa diva italiana Maria Callas - La Divina, neste vídeo cantando aos 53 anos, numa época sem plásticas ou Botox. Ponto para americanos (onde nasceu) gregos, e italianos.

Chinesinha Cantora...

Quase mijei nas calças de rir hoje ao ler na coluna do Zé Simão na Folha de São Paulo:

"Continua o babado da cantorinha falsa na abertura da Olimpíada, a menina pirata! A cantorinha da 25! A menina do Stand Center! Já imaginou se a moda de substituir cantora feinha por menina bonitinha em Olimpíada pega? E o Rio 2016? A Galisteu dubla a Ana Carolina. A Cicarelli dubla a Bethânia. E a Glória Maria dubla a Alcione.
E tá todo mundo criticando a China. Mas um leitor me disse: "Bando de hipócritas, pro seu casamento você convidaria uma daminha de honra com a cara do inferno?". E não é possível que tendo 1 bilhão de chineses eles não encontraram uma chinesinha que seja bonitinha e cante ao mesmo tempo! "

Em blogs da própria China comentaram o absurdo de não terem conseguido achar uma garota completa... Hehehe. Mas o melhor é constatar que não dava pra esperar NADA de diferente da China. A gente os conhece BEM pela qualidade duvidosa e truqueira em quase tudo o que produzem. Abafa...

Olimpíadas de Pequim

Sabem, estive refletindo sobre o que o Tony postou no blog dele, sobre a imagem que nem pode ser chamada de charge, porque não é engraçada, e sobre os últimos acontecimentos no Tibete / histórico desse governo comunista na China e cada vez mais acho que devíamos boicotar os jogos. Já decidi que não vou assistir a nada e continuarei falando mal. O espírito das Olimpíadas não condiz com os direitos humanos na China. Se a comunidade internacional ficar de braços cruzados, o que virá a seguir? Olimpíadas em Teerã?

Free Tibet and warlords of comunist China

The text below, extracted from Wikipedia (link at the end), exemplifies the problems China has with fundamental human rights and the ways it deals with disagreeing views and opposition.
The invasion of Tibet by China since 1950-1951, forcing the government and the Dalai Lama to flee into exile has meant injustice, suffering and lack o liberty and self-ruling to a long existing nation in the roof of the world. All in favor of power to the government comunist status quo.
Lets start a campaign favoring the boycott from the athletes and teams and federations and countries to this Olympic games, taking in consideration also the risks athletes shall be imposed by the exposing to air pollution - which shall be severe and life threatening in some cases, or at least worsening results in most cases. In the name of educating future generations, of the spirit of the sports and con fraternization and humanistic values to strengthen civilization, let's pay the price for canceling this edition, giving the time to reflection about how to change. And screw China, banning it and other communist, authoritarian , dictatorial autocratic or religious governments for three editions of the games. Sometimes world and humanity can leap forward by been straight and hard on its decisions and beliefs. Let me know your considerations, if possible in English, so the public able to read will be broader.

"2008 unrest in Tibet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

This article documents a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.

Orange designates regions that have Tibetan population, hence contain the unrest areas

The 2008 Unrest in Tibet began with demonstrations on March 10, 2008 (Tibetan Uprising Day), the 49^th anniversary of the failed 1959 Tibetan uprising against Beijing rule. The protests were started by Buddhist monks calling for the release of fellow monks detained in October 2007 as they celebrated the Dalai Lama receiving the United States Congressional Gold Medal on September 27, 2006. The protests soon shifted to calls for independence and descended into violence, rioting, burning and plunder on March 14, combined with attacks on non-Tibetan ethnic groups. The protests are said to be the largest Tibetan protest against the Communist Party's rule in 20 years.^[1]

Tibet has been formally an autonomous region of the People's Republic of China since 1951. While recognized by most countries and the United Nations, the legitimacy of Chinese sovereignty has been questioned by advocates of Tibetan independence.

Violence in Lhasa

Tibet Autonomous Region

An eyewitness at the scene said monks set police cars on fire after a demonstration near a small temple in Lhasa was stopped by police. "The monks are still protesting. Police and army cars were burned. There are people crying," she said.^[2] Tensions in Lhasa have increased as the city's three biggest monasteries were sealed off by thousands of soldiers and armed police amid the largest protests in nearly two decades. Chinese authorities reportedly fired warning shots and used tear gas and electric prods to disperse hundreds of protesters, in addition to detaining up to 50 monks. ^[2] US embassy officials in Beijing told the Associated Press that U.S. citizens had reported gunfire and rioting in Lhasa.^[3]

Protesters appeared to be targeting shops and vehicles owned by Han Chinese, the predominant ethnic group in China.^[4] According to the BBC, protesters have been focused on setting fire to and looting businesses owned by the Han Chinese.^[1] According to CNN, a Han girl was in the hospital after she had been beaten by a group of Tibetans.^[4]

According to The Economist, "The mobs, ranging from small groups of youths (some armed with traditional Tibetan swords) to crowds of many dozens, including women and children, rampaged through the narrow alleys of the Tibetan quarter. They battered the shutters of shops, broke in and seized whatever they could, from hunks of meat to gas canisters and clothing. Some goods they carried away, while other goods were thrown into large fires lit on the street.^[1] Little children could also be seen looting a toyshop..."^[5]

The Guardian reported that according to foreign eyewitness accounts, protesters have been attacking Han, Muslim Hui and other ethnic minorities, with the exception of foreigners.^[6] It described that with the exception of Tibetan-owned hotels, many other hotels were vandalized and smashed.^[6] The eyewitness also reported seeing three protesters stabbing an unconscious man.^[6]

Protesters also set a mosque on fire in late Friday night, possibly in protest to the increasingly large Hui ethnic community in Lhasa.^[7][8]

An eyewitness account described a green armored vehicle plowing into the crowd, running people over, at approximately 3 p.m. on March 14.^[9]

Protest in other provinces

Gansu Province

Qinghai Province

Sichuan Province

Gansu protests

The Tibetan protests spread outside of the Tibet Autonomous Region for the first time. Demonstrations by ethnic Tibetans and monks took place in the northwest province of Gansu on Saturday, March 15, 2008. ^[10] The protests were centered around Gansu's Labrang Monastery, which is one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastaries outside of Tibet.^[10] Demonstrators marched through the streets of Xiahe, a predominantly Tibetan county in Gansu which surrounds the Labrang Monastery. ^[11] Up to 5,000 demonstrators were reportedly involved in the Gansu protests.^[10] There were reports of Chinese government offices being damaged by the protesters, and Chinese police using tear gas and force to break up the demonstrations.^[10]

Qinghai protests

Chinese authorities have reportedly arrested twelve Tibetan monks after an incident in the historic region of Rebkong, which is located in the Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai.^[11] Chinese security forces have reportedly surrounded the Ditsa monastery in Bayan County.^[11] Qinghai province borders Tibet and has a large Tibetan population.

Sichuan protests

In Sichuan province, Tibetan monks and police clashed March 16 in Aba county after the monks staged a protest, one policeman had been killed and three or four police vans had been set on fire. The India-based Tibetan Center for Human Rights and Democracy said at least seven people have been shot dead; however the claim could not be immediately confirmed.^[12]

Protests outside China

Hundreds of Tibetan exiles in India marched from the town of Dharamshala to the Indo-Chinese border, to mark their protest against Chinese occupation of Tibet. Indian authorities arrested more than 100 Tibetan protesters.^[13] Indian police also arrested a dozen Tibetan exiles attempting to storm the Chinese embassy in New Delhi.^[14] India's harsh crackdown on pro-Tibet protests in the country was largely seen as a sign of India distancing itself from the Tibetan cause in an attempt to improve relations with China.

In New York, more than 100 people staged a protest outside the United Nations Headquarters. The City Police Department said they arrested six pro-Tibet protesters trying to enter the building. In Zurich, Swiss police fired tear-gas at pro-Tibet demonstrators who tried to storm the Chinese consulate.^[15] Seven pro-Tibet activists were arrested on Saturday in Sydney during a chaotic clash with police outside the consulate.^[16] In the Hague, about 400 protesters stormed the Chinese consulate. They managed to take down the Chinese flag and replace it with the Tibetan flag^[17].

Tibetans living in the Indian state of Meghalaya closed their businesses and staged demonstrations to protest the Chinese crack down in Tibet.^[18]

People's Republic of China response

The People's Republic of China responded by deploying the People's Armed Police on the third day of protests^[2] and closing down monasteries. China also denied foreign media's request to enter Tibet. According to General Yang Deping, military troops from the People's Liberation Army will not be used. ^[19]

Chinese authorities are also reportedly concerned that the Tibetan protests could inspire Uighur activists in nearby Xinjiang province to organize street protests as well.^[11]

The PRC-appointed 11th Panchen Lama, Gyaincain Norbu, condemned the unrest, saying "the rioters' acts not only harmed the interests of the nation and the people, but also violated the aim of Buddhism. We resolutely oppose all activities to split the country and undermine ethnic unity. We strongly condemn the crime of a tiny number of people to hurt the lives and properties of the people."^[20]

Casualties

The US Congress-funded Radio Free Asia quoted witnesses who said they had seen at least two bodies on Lhasa's streets.^[1] On early Saturday, it was reported that ten people so far have been burned to death by rioters, including two hotel employees and two shop owners, but no foreigners were hurt.^[21] According to China's Xinhua News Agency, most of the victims were business people and innocent civilians.^[22][23]

Tibet's government-in-exile said on Saturday that it had received "unconfirmed reports" of as many as 100 deaths in unrest in Tibet.^[24] Later, the Tibetan exile government said on Sunday that it has confirmed at least 80 deaths.^[25] However, according to The Economist, these reports of death toll released by Tibet's exile government are "persistent" but "unsubstantiated".^[26] The Economist described that there are no convincing accounts of the kind of bloodshed of that of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests or the earlier Tibetan protests in the 1980s.^[26]

International reaction

• The Dalai Lama, head of Tibet's government in exile in India, called on China's government to stop using force, and urged his fellow Tibetans to refrain from violence.^[14]
• Chairman Qiangba Puncog, leader of the Tibet Autonomous Region's government, told the Associated Press, "We will deal harshly with these criminals who are carrying out activities to split the nation." ^[1]
• India's Ministry of External Affairs released the following statement: "We are distressed by reports of the unsettled situation and violence in Lhasa, and by the deaths of innocent people. We would hope that all those involved will work to improve the situation and remove the causes of such trouble in Tibet, which is an autonomous region of China, through dialogue and non-violent means." ^[27]
• European Union leaders asked China to show restraint and for human rights to be respected. EU High Representative Javier Solana said this would not affect Europe's involvement in the Beijing Olympics.^[28]
• US ambassador to Beijing Clark Randt urged China to exercise restraint.^[14]

• Netherlands Member of Parliament Hans van Baalen (VVD) stated in the Dutch news' television show Netwerk that China should refrain from any violence other than absolutely necessary to maintain order in the region, and that China should start a dialog with the Dalai Lama in order to come to a peaceful solution.

• Poland's parliamentary Polish-Tibetan Group condemned the Chinese reaction at the riots and threatened China with boycotting the Olympic Games ^[33]
• Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura said, "Basically, it is a domestic issue for China but we hope that both sides will exercise self-restraint so that the disturbance will not spread." Kazuo Kodama, press secretary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in a statement that Japan is concerned about the situation in Tibet and was "closely watching the current situation in the city of Lhasa."^[34]
• Taiwan's foreign ministry issued a statement saying, "We strongly condemn China's use of force to suppress Tibet and urge the international community to monitor the development in Tibet." The Mainland Affairs Council also condemned the Chinese response.^[35]

As Forças Obscuras do Comunismo

O Comunismo nunca levou nenhum país a lugar algum. Em todos os lugares em que foi implementado como modo de governo, liberdades individuais, de imprensa, Estado de Direito, tudo isso é rapidamente suprimido. Restou na China um país que controla imprensa, internet, o judiciário e a própria vida das pessoas. De onde este artigo não pode ser acessado e nem lido. A humanidade ainda engatinha em termos de direitos humanos. E a China é campeã do atraso, como Cuba.
Nas recentes manifestações pela independência do Tibet, a China usa mão forte, inclusive impedindo a entrada de estrangeiros. Isso tudo pertinho das Olimpíadas. VERGONHA o Comitê Olímpico Internacional permitir que um país tão retrógrado sedie um evento que deveria trazer a confraternização universal.
Mas vamos esperar e ver o que será dessas olimpíadas?

Enquanto isso, numa praia chinesa...

Tenho amigos vivendo na China. Eles reclamam bastante da barreira cultural: costumes como cuspir no chão, dificuldades de adaptação alimentar, xenofobia, etc...
Mas estas fotos das praias fizeram com que considere ainda mais apoiá-los. O que são estas cenas de praia? Onde tanta gente faz xixi? Deus deve mesmo, apesar de tudo, ser brasileiro =)
(Obrigado ao Charles, de NYC, pelas fotos)
