"of him shall the Son of man be ashamed" - Crazy China

CRAZY CHINA (folle en Chine)


Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi recently visited a local village, of course, of Myanmar to enjoy the nature and communications with villagers.

In a village, people said to the popular leader of the country that their lives were improved since a Japanese volunteer group  dug a well for them.  But, it put a burden on them to buy fuel for power generating machine that drove a motor used in the well.

It is indeed difficult for Japanese citizens to help Asians improve their lives while the Chinese Government supports the military junta of Burma.


SECTION I: Riots in China


Many non-nonsense citizens in the world are concerned with the state inside China in terms of riots, protests, unauthorized demonstrations, and violence.
Riots in China

A roundup of recent riots, mostly by migrant workers, across China.
The conflicts began Friday after a fracas between security officers & a pregnant street vendor in Xintang, Guangdong province. Most protesters were migrant workers like the vendor. Last week 100s of migrant workers clashed with police in Chaozhou, also in Guangdong, following a dispute over unpaid wages. In Lichuan, Hubei, as many as 2,000 protesters attacked government headquarters June 10th after a local politician who'd complained about official corruption died in police custody. Inner Mongolia recently saw its biggest street protests for 20 years, over the killing of a Mongolian herder trying to halt coal trucks trespassing on grasslands.

There are many, many reports about the state inside China in terms of riots, protests, unauthorized demonstrations, and violence.
The 2011 Chinese protests were a series of civil disturbances that took place in the People's Republic of China. The first significant protest movement was inspired by the Jasmine Revolution in the Middle East. Later in the year, protests across the country had begun to occur with greater and greater frequency.[1] Notable protests include: 
- The 2011 Chinese pro-democracy protests – weekly demonstrations called by overseas dissidents to begin on 20 February. 
- The 2011 Yunnan protest occurred from 25 to 29 March 2011 in Suijiang County, Yunnan 
- The 2011 Shanghai riot (2011 上海城管打人事件) occurred on 13 April 2011 in Jiuting (九亭) in the Songjiang District Shanghai.[2] 
- The 2011 Xilinhot incident occurred at the night of 10 May 2011 in Xilinhot, China when a local herdsman was killed by a coal truck driver. The incident resulted in numerous protests.[2] After the incident, the government provided compensation to the family, upgraded environmental rules, and dismissed the local Communist Party chief. The truck driver was tried, found guilty of murder, and sentenced to the death penalty on 8 June. 
- On 15 May in Abag Banner, Inner Mongolia another Han Chinese coal miner named Sun Shuning (孙树宁) drove a forklift and hit Yan Wenlong (闫文龙), a 22 year old Manchu.[3][4] Yan led a group of 20 people to dispute noise, dust and pollution. When they began smashing properties, a clash ensued.[5] In the clash Yan died, and 7 people were injured.[3] 
- The 2011 Chaozhou riot (潮州6•6事件) began on the night of Duanwu Festival 6 June 2011 in Guxiang (古巷镇) Chao'an County, Chaozhou, Guangdong, People's Republic of China.[6][7] 
- The 2011 Zengcheng riot (6•11事件) 
- Protests over multiple oil spills and the breach of dyke protecting the Fujian Petrochemical Plant after Typhoon Muifa struck caused 12,000 protesters to gather in People's Square in Dalian to protest their environmental concerns and potential health hazards caused by the disasters.[8]

After Dalian protest, such movements spilled over to Zhejiang province, namely to a solar panel plant.
China shuts solar plant after pollution protest
AFP – Mon, Sep 19, 2011 
China has ordered the closure of a solar panel plant in the east of the country after hundreds of local residents staged violent protests over pollution, authorities said Monday... 
China, which has the world's largest online population with 485 million users, constantly strives to exert its control over the Internet, blocking content it deems politically sensitive as part of a vast censorship system. 
But the huge and rising popularity of weibos -- microblogs similar to Twitter that have taken China by storm since they first launched two years ago -- has posed a major challenge to the censors.

Now, it is said that the number of riots that happened in China last year reached 180,000.  What accounted for 65% of these violent movements was troubles over farm lands local officials tried to unlawfully and forcibly pick up for development or industrial use.




SECTION II: Pollution in China

Joseph Kahn and Jim Yardley of the New York Times filed a report on August 26, 2007 about China's pollution problem: "Environmental degradation is now so severe, with such stark domestic and international repercussions, that pollution poses not only a major long-term burden on the Chinese public but also an acute political challenge to the ruling Communist Party." Main points from the report included:[2]
  1. According to the Chinese Ministry of Health, industrial pollution has made cancer China’s leading cause of death.
  2. Every year, ambient air pollution alone killed hundreds of thousands of citizens.
  3. 500 million people in China are without safe and clean drinking water.
  4. Only 1% of the country’s 560 million city dwellers breathe air considered safe by the European Union, because all the China's major cities are constantly covered in a "toxic gray shroud". Before and during the 2008 Summer Olympics, Beijing was "frantically searching for a magic formula, a meteorological deus ex machina, to clear its skies for the 2008 Olympics."
  5. Lead poisoning or other types of local pollution continue to kill many Chinese children.
  6. A large section of the ocean is without marine life because of massive algal boom caused by the high nutrients in the water.
  7. The pollution has spread internationally: sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides fall as acid rain on Seoul, South Korea, and Tokyo; and according to the Journal of Geophysical Research, the pollution even reaches Los Angeles in the USA.
  8. The Chinese Academy of Environmental Planning in 2003 had an internal and unpublished report which estimated that 300,000 people die each year from ambient air pollution, mostly of heart disease and lung cancer.
  9. Chinese environmental experts in 2005 issued another report, estimating that annual premature deaths attributable to outdoor air pollution were likely to reach 380,000 in 2010 and 550,000 in 2020.
  10. A 2007 World Bank report concluded "...outdoor air pollution was already causing 350,000 to 400,000 premature deaths a year. Indoor pollution contributed to the deaths of an additional 300,000 people, while 60,000 died from diarrhea, bladder and stomach cancer and other diseases that can be caused by water-borne pollution." World Bank officials said "China’s environmental agency insisted that the health statistics be removed from the published version of the report, citing the possible impact on 'social stability'".[3]

Money blinds people.

Money persuades people to join evil others are engaged in.

Money offers a false way of fixing a matter and a big matter in life.

That is why Christ Jesus never used money for Himself.


Solving any matter in the human world without using money is the first and the last practice for followers of Christ Jesus. 


But, Christ Jesus encouraged His followers to save and accumulate wealth in Heaven not in this world where wealth gets rotten and gnawed at by others. 


Finally remember that Japan has net external assets more than China has: Japan has $3.3 trillion and China $1.8 trillion.

It is truly deplorable that Germany and other European nations are zealously asking China to invest in their financial sectors.  It is so since according to some study China itself will turn to another Greece in a few or several years if it continues its biased financing and budget execution domestically.


Additionally, in my estimation, China's GDP is 10% inflated by false reporting from local governments, 20% inflated by investment into non-occupied buildings, and 30% inflated by Japanese investment in cheap labor market in China.




Luk 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
Luk 9:27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
