Hu says the AP isn't biased?

Hu Jintao, Communist dictator of China is in town and politicans and business leader put on chapstick to kiss his ass.

A Chinese Falun Gung dissident yelled at Hu, and she was esorted away by Secret Service. Of course this information was published back in China. However, the brilliant staff at the Associated Press think that the Chinese media IGNORED it, rather than the more appropriate word: CENSORED it. I also love how the AP writes: "ordinary Chinese commenting on Web sites accused President Bush of insulting Hu.", but those "ordinary" Chinese are later revealed to be people posting at a bulletin board which is effectively an arm of the official Communist government. How ordinary exactly are they?

Chinese Media Ignore White House Gaffes
BEIJING - Chinese news reports made no mention Friday of the protester who interrupted President Hu Jintao's visit with President Bush or a White House announcer flubbing China's official name. But ordinary Chinese commenting on Web sites accused President Bush of insulting Hu.

"You can see from Bush's lack of respect for foreign leaders just how lacking he is in class," said a posting on a bulletin board run by the People's Daily, the main Communist Party newspaper. AP



Yesterday, Nancy Pelosi had a very compelling editorial in the LA Times and I find it odd to be agreeing with Nancy Pelosi. Unfortunately, there is no intellectual honesty with Ms. Pelosi. When Clinton was in the White House, I do not remember her taking a stand against China, or chastising the Clinton White House for allowing missle technology to fall into Chinese hands. Nonetheless, if a Democrat was in the White House, some Republican senator would be writing an editorial on how evil Communist China is.

TODAY, PRESIDENT Bush will roll out the red carpet for Chinese President Hu Jintao, a leader whose government brutally crushes freedom, democracy and the religious expression of the Chinese and Tibetan people. Hu will receive the best welcome U.S. taxpayer money can buy, including full military honors and a 21-gun salute.

This is the same regime that provides military technologies to countries that threaten international security, including Iran and North Korea. The same regime that threatens Taiwan with a military attack, detains and tortures Chinese people for expressing their political and religious beliefs and arrests Tibetans for carrying a picture of the Dalai Lama.
