Former People's Republic of Chine Premier Zhao Zhyang has passed away. Memories being short, hardly anyone remembers that he was the man who attempted to prevent the Tiananmen Square Massacre. For his crime he was declared a "non-person" by The Central Politburo and placed under arrest - translation: he was harrassed to death.
Multinational corporations, in their zeal to do business with China, are forgetting that the country is still a communist dictatorship, Chairman Mao's portrait still looms over Tiananmen Square. Now that it's beginning to flex it's economic muscle, China is in the process of a massive military build up.
It makes you wonder if history will repeat itself? The IOC snubbed Toronto and gave the Summer Games to Beijing - a mega corrupt sports committee groveling to a mega corrupt political party that isn't fazed by the act of slaughtering it's own citizens. Let's remember that Adolph Hitler went on his campaign of conquest and genocide AFTER he gained legitimacy from the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. Will China do the same after the 2008 Summer Olympics.
...And after 4 more years of President Dubya, will the USA be in any condition to oppose China?
