I really admire the photos of the sand dune stabilisation alongside the roads. I won't say anything about the cities though, as I absolutely detest all cities, my home town is less than 2,000 people, and it is quickly becoming too "big" for me with too may rules and regulations.

I love true freedom too much to live in such a place.

Now China has many defects we Chinese must struggle with. But as for the wonders, I should post some China's infrastructure pics for you, then you'll see the condition of China a little more. If you wish, I'm going to upload some pics of the city of China.

Ummm... okay, so you have an interstate system. It's the 21st Century. The United States built it's interstate system back in the 1950s and Germany had their back in the 1930s. What's you're point? You still don't have freedom of movement. You don't have freedom of speech or religion. You don't have the right to keep and bear arms. You don't have the right to vote for elected officials...

As for China selling arms to Nepalese security forces. I doubt that 100%. Maoism is the state religion of the People's Republic of China. You folks worship him as a God. Communist China is in fact supporting the Nepalese Maoist movement. Nepalese security forces have been digging into their armories to get any working firearm. Most of them have been British produced Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III SMLE Rifles. Infact, the Nepalese security forces have been selling their older Martini-Henry Rifles to support their forces.

No, except arms, we just don't have the right to vote for elected officials.

I thought the U.S. has been paying more attention on improving people's political condition than the economical condition globally; China has been paying more attention on improving people's economical condition than the political condition. Perhaps we need a balance.

I really miss the rice paddy of my childhood.

Photoshopped images of blue skies over Chinese cities... priceless. I thought only marketing morons used those. And Reg, if you want to keep calling me Bulldoggie and take shots at me that are off topic let's meet face to face so you can get it out of your system in one go punk. I've got 6 weeks vacation time coming and have been thinking of travelling in country. Put up or shut up. I have not once insulted you but you insist on engaging in ad hominem attacks... so be it. It stops now.






A little more reality for balance and clarity.

Here is a little truth about your wonderful land of socialism.... The nation of Peace as you claim.

I cannot show the photos from this site because of the forum rules.

Here are some that I can show you











Those are just some photos that I can post.

Chinese police and military police officers detain Falun Gong member Jason Loftus after he and Levi Browde, partly obscured, right, held a protest in Beijing's Tiananmen Square on the eve of the Chinese Lunar New Year Monday, Feb. 11, 2002. Loftus, of Barrie, Ontario, and Browde, of New York, were quickly detained and led away by police. (AP Photo/Greg Baker)

The two unfurled a yellow banner and shouted [statements] including "Falun Gong is good" in Chinese, witnesses said. (REUTERS/Str)

Do you need me to remind you of Tiananmen Square?

Here in the United States of America, we have a little something called freedom of speech. That also gives us freedom of information and the knowledge of what really goes on in the world. Sure, you need to research it yourself but the information is out there. We're not shut out of the world like you are. We can search any and all topics and speak about anything without the fear of the secret police hunting us down.

Evidence of that is shown everyday on our media and internet sites. All of my own citizenry talking against President Bush, the war on Terror, our Congress, and basically everything else of their choice. They can do that because we have a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

We're not like your land of socialism. We don't have tanks rolling down our streets because people protest. We don't have secret police taking us away at night because we own firearms, we don't have prisons that beat and abuse people.

I can go on Google or Yahoo and type in words like Freedom, Capitalism, and Democracy and not be stopped by a fire wall and red flagged for the police to hunt me down.

So stop preaching to me about how high and mighty your little nation of communism is. I lived it, I left it.....

You're playing with fire and you're going to get burnt.

bulldogg, if you really thought the word "Bulldoggie" was a insulte, I apologize. Then I'll call you Mr. bulldogg, OK?
