They were holding up a piece of concrete, supposedly reinforced. What the builder had used for reinforcement was a joke. Instead of rebar, it looked like he had used that very light steel-mesh material (approx. 6"x6" square) that we use to support a concrete slab in a garage floor that is laid over 6" of compacted gravel. Instead of using rebar, which you or I wouldn't be able to bend with our bare hands, he used material a four year old could twist out of shape. Don't tell me what I saw fool, I'll tell you. cheers....Jeff Look you twerp. When a US army squad in Iraq murders a family there is all this outrage and moves to put them on trial and establish the rules of combat, better training, better supervision and all those highfalutin declarations of how things will be better in future. When the Army found out that murdering innocent Iraqi families is pretty common (more than a million killings in 7 1/2 years and still going strong) everyone shut up pretty fast and imposed laughbly insignificant sentences on less than a handful of perpetrators stupid enough to get caught. Ergo when a single building disintegrates in a humongous earthquake you can point fingers and sacrifice a few goats to satisfy public outrage. When more than 300 schools disintegrated the same way you are going to prosecute anyone and everyone who had a hand in building those schools? You are certainly very naive in the ways things work. I'll tell you one remarkable example how the Chinese system works. When DXP came back to power the Cultural Revolution was still alive until they arrested the Gang of Four. With the devastation that the CR and the GLF (Great Leap Forward) and other Mao inspired disasters there was a tremendous amount of damage to be made good. So DXP decreed that there were far too many injustices and far too many interconnected crimes ever to sort out. Getting China back on track was of paramount importance. So there was to be no recriminationsw, no boards of inquiries, no investigations into what had gone on before. He (DXP) himself was treated very badly. His eldest son (a physics undergrad then)was thrown from or had leapt from an upper storey and crippled. The son was denied medical attention and is now a quadripelgic. If DXP did not seek revenge no one else could and the bad blood that would have flowed and poisoned everything never did. So it will be with this earthquake. The first order of things is to get back the countryside in order and the people housed and gainfully employed. Before the end of the year is out the debris will have been cleared and reconstruction begun. Premier Wen has declared that within three years all the roads, bridges and infrastructures will be repaired. They will be finished ahead of schedule. In that three years will arise new cities, towns and residential areas as if they seemed to have sprouted from the ground overnight. You would have never known that there was an earthquake just three years before. In that time or after, if key people have been found to be willfully negilgent or corrupt, the guilt can then be established. There are no on-a-technicality escape routes in the Chinese courts system. But meantime screw your CNN attempts to paint a fumbling and dysfuntional picture of Chinese people. |

Providing barely earned advantages to all 2.5 million Tibetans in a population of 1.3 billion Chinese is no problem at all. But these advantages must still be earned regardless of at how low a level. I know this is where the "whether they want it or not" comes in. Joe I thought my reply was pretty clear on that. The sun will surely rise tomorrow morning and the world will revolve as it had always done since time began. Whether anyone wants it or not. Tibet will be developed whether they want it or not. Agreed. I don't see an alternative for Tibet. It's too bad that the Tibetans don't have a stronger say in what happens to their country. Or should I say their part of China? The parallel with your Afro-American community is that there is no lack of effort and no shortage of funding to raise the educational standards and employability of their chilkdren. Your best brains and your best intentions all had their go at the problem and there isn't even a language problem. Yet Afro-Americans, as a community, are falling behind further than ever. One can only do one's best. If for all that effort and it still doesn't work one can only keep trying. But feel guilt? Nah. Oh I don't think anyone thought for a moment that the Chinese leadership was feeling anything like guilt over their actions in Tibet. ;^) Guilt over nebulous concepts is an American disease. Then one point for the home team! Joe |

Employment opportunities are scarce in China even for top brains. I'm not surprised with the thuggish authoritarian government I will always note how smart they start out but a thuggish authoritarian government can kill that off fairly quickly Vince Jeeze you do have a problem with reading comprehension. Your mentality has been arrested at the level of a schoolyard bully. The point made is the numbers and quality of ethnic Chinese in American society has become significant. They now form the core of your professional class. In modern society this professional core is what makes it tick. They therefore determine the character of your community and country. The Chinese who settled in the US are American citizens and constitute the ideal citizen group that any community will be glad to have. The next generation will be so Americanized that China will probably be quite alien to them. There goes your thuggish authoritarian government fears though that describes the current US government quite accurately. If the rise of the Jewish community post WWII is any indication the Chinese community will eventually go into those fields where Jews excelled - law, banking and finance, property and estate investments, entrepreunership. And even the fine arts. Chinese and other East Asian classically trained virtusos are what is keeping these western fine arts alive when recruitment from westerners has declined precipitiously. The difference is there are far more Chinese than there will ever be Jews in the US eventually or anywhere else except in Israel. Numbers always win out in the end. Currently the US Jewish population is 7 million or 2.5 percent. The US Chinese population is 3.6 million or 1.2 per cent. Already the ethnic Chinese component of top US universities exceeds that of the Jews as well as all other ethnic groups. Read: Little Asia on the Hill Jim Wilson/The New York Times By TIMOTHY EGAN Published: January 7, 2007 http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/07/ed...=1&oref=slogin So there you are, a possibility that US Chinese may overtake the Jews in messing up your minds in the not too distant future. |
