China naughty again

China is busted, again.

 Recent New York Times featured the latest discovery of illegal child labor in southern China’s GuangDong Province. More than a hundred 13-15 year olds were tricked/kidnapped by employment agencies and forced to work 300 hrs/month at only $0.42 cents/hr!!

 China’s embarrassments just keep on coming…

  •  President Hu Jintao was the first Olympics torch bearer in China. I don’t think there has ever been a president SO excited about Olympics to have to come out from his chinese white house to do this and it certainly did not make China look any better.
  • China just drove all of its Beijing homeless into some vacant buildings without any food and other provisions so that Beijing can make way for that oh-so-important Olympics. Not to mention the thousands of homeless created in the first place because of the construction.
  • And NO chinese food in China?! China hired foreign professional chiefs in order to prepare authentic foreign delicacies for foreigners for fear of poisonings and boycott from other countries.
  • And of course there’s always those annoying disease outbreaks.

And yes I am chinese and I am not perfect either.

This is how the chinese got the Olympics logo

Figure above: where the Beijing Olympics logo comes from.
