Tiananmen Square Ad....Gone!

[michael^heaven]

BEIJING (Reuters) - A newspaper in southwest China has sacked three of its editors over an advertisement saluting mothers of protesters killed in the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, a source with knowledge of the gaffe said on Thursday.

Public discussion of the massacre is still taboo in China and the government has rejected calls to overturn the verdict that the student-led protests were subversive.

I saw a special on the Tiananmen event on A&E or Discovery. The Chinese government had eliminated any & ALL books, tv coverage, newspaper/magazines...you name it...regarding this event.

It's crazy. And no one in the world seems to care. Even the far left-wing human rights organizations made a bit of a ballyhoo over it at first, then nothing. I remember when this happened. I thought the world was going to cut them off financially (obviously you can't invade). But nothing!

We have been fighting for the 'other side' for decades. We're losing.

Costa Rica establishes diplomatic ties with China for "economic well-being": president

Costa Rica's President Oscar Arias said on Thursday his country established diplomatic relations with China and broke ties with Chinese province Taiwan for the "economic well-being of Costa Ricans".

In an interview with the local Radio Monumental network, Arias expressed his confidence in the future signing of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between his country and China.

Costa Rica could not ignore China's potential 1.3-billion people market, he said.

For a country that depends on us for protection, they sure have a funny way of showing their gratitude.

Taiwan probably makes most of the components in your PCs and Macs these days. Computex is on right now and it's hot.

Fuck Red China, it's all about Taiwan.

Are you serious? Does the US have diplomatic relations with Taiwan or China?

Both.
