Freedom of religious organization. I remember being invited by Catholic friends to a Christmas mass, and police were there 'for our safety'. Hmmm...?
Then a friend of mine told me how on 'Id-al-Fitr, the police had gone to the local mosque to film the participants!
A Chinese Buddhist friend was asking me one day if I wanted to buy some foreign Buddhist publications, including from the Dalai Lama. I wasn't interested, but he told me where to find them anyway, a shop that kept them at the back of the shop.
Also, the process of transfering funds abroad can be bureaucratic at times too.
To be fair though, foreigners now have the full freedom of religious organization, as long as they bring their passports (oh I feel so privileged :roll
. Also, there is just as much personal freedom of religion in China as in Canada, and the situation as far as freedom of religious organization goes is improving. I'd been at an international conference in Beijing where there was total freedom of religious association within the conference itself, with various religious groups renting out rooms to make presentations.I do acknowledge though that Canadians tend to exaggerate the restrictions in China, and I still think the Canadian government, if it wants to criticise China, should do so in a more respectful manner by bringing the matter up at the UN General Assembly and respect whatever decision comes out of that. It's not up to Canada to dictate human rights in China while the Province of Ontario is violating a few human rights itself according to the UNHCR.
I hope all is well with you.
I'll agree that Chinese police officers are generally unarmed where I'd been to (even in Urumqi as far as I'd noticed, though there was also the biggest military base near the centre of that city that I'd ever seen in my life in an urban centre. It took me at least a few hours to walk around its perimetre). In fact, I generally find Chinese police more approachable than their Canadian counterparts. Unarmed, usually friendly and chatty with the locals, etc. Here in Ottawa, they look like they're wearing flack vests or whatever it is they're wearing. They're clearly armed, and most of them seldom smile through those square-jawed faces sitting on pumped up bodies! Chang ethe colour of their uniforms to green, and they'd almost look like they were wearing combat uniforms.

Yeah, Chinese gov't and its employees are the epitomy of humanitarians. :roll:
Seems that demonstrators get killed in China more frequently than in North America. I think it probably has to do more with cops here using pepper spray, rubber bullets, bean bags, etc. than metal bullets and the like.
When was the last time a tank ran over a protester here?
Face it, The ROC and its military and police don't give a hoot about people, at least not until the rest of the planet throws them flak.
The both of us actually send letters to gov't officials of other countries for one thing. A month or so ago we wrote a letter to a gov't official about skuipping Mexico in favor of Belize because of the crap that goes on in its "justice" system. What do you do?
ok I retract my comment about Chinese police.
It is their boss that doesn't give a whit about people.

Yes it is. I bet I am not alone with that view either. And I would bet there's a wee bit of truth in it, too.

I don't really travell to any "trouble " spots. My family and I support 12 farm children (financially ) in finishing their schooling .
Each to his own , indeed we all have our prefrences .
Well, I'm glad that you help out. We help out in our neck of the woods that way and other ways, too. But that doesn't mean we can't send protests to other places about some topic or other.
Machjo ,
There is one thing that I can not purchase anywhere and that is a Holy Rosary ..
I gave mine to this Chinese girl ; before I got married and .........
I miss the Rosary .
Well , In Canada wearing a motorcycle helmet is mandatory ,for "ones safety",In China you are free to do what you want .
In Qingdao we have a little Christian store where you can buy a Christian literature for children and adults. There are also bibles for sale in Chinese and English . As you know China is on of the biggest if not the biggest printer of the Bible in the world .
