BS and brutality in Beiijing
I watched a short documentary today showing a few examples of the brutality and freedom suppressing bullshit the Chinese communist regime routinely hands out to its own people.
The sight of weeping middle-aged women and frail old men desperately pressing their paper petitions into the hands of a helpless reporter was very moving. Many Chinese travel thousands of miles to Beiijing with these petitions, seeking redress for their grievances through the only officially sanctioned means available to them. Once they arrive, they are met with cold bureaucratic silence, imprisonment, or violence.
