If you like to know more about the dreadful failure of the so called Tiananmen Square revolution and today’s China please watch this great documentation: The Tank Man.
It tells in great detail the story of a failed revolution and how China’s communists brutally knocked down the people’s will. Sure - we are all amazed by today’s economic boom in China - but still it’s more like a brutal economic progress for the few rich and the party - not for most of the people.
In rural areas the poverty and devastation is unbelievable. Schooling and medical support has broken down in most of the country. Factory workers are denied basic rights - rights the communists used to fight and campaign for. No strikes are allowed, so sick leave is paid and accidents are not covered. It basic and brutal capitalism at work here.
This distorted ’success’ is on one side rebuilding China’s failed infrastructure on the backs of Chinese laborers, while putting the western economies in turmoil. In a strange way both sides are ‘paying’ up to bring China out of the misery of 60 year of stupid communist government.
I still can’t believe that China got the Olympics of 2008.
