My Petition About China's Crimes Against Humanity

Firstly, the petition I have started is something that I know needs to be done. The Chinese government has committed atrocities against their civilians on a truly barbaric scale. After you read this, see the articles I have written on China in my profile list. The petition itself can be signed here.

Finally, I am happy to announce that the delusion of sporting games in totalitarian China is over. The hype of the Beijing games did not convince me to enjoy it. I hated every damn minute of the 2008 Olympics, I did not watch it for more than five minutes in total. Every time a news report on the Olympics came on television, I'd mute the volume and look away, or turn the channel over or turn the signal off.

To me, the whole 2008 Beijing Olympic games were just that, games. Before the Olympics, innocent people by the tens of thousands were uprooted from communities, and small townships totally destroyed, to be replaced with the 'modern' infrastructure of capitalist society and Olympic venues.

If you were to travel a hundred miles or so away from Beijing, you'd find homeless Chinese, made destitute after Olympic organisers bulldozed the homes of these poor Chinese civilians, to make way for Olympic venue development.

If you looked in remote areas in China, you would have seen the thousands of prisoners locked up for petitioning against having their homes destroyed. They were arrested and driven away weeks before the Olympic Games were due to commence.

Some of those people may never be heard from again, and were perhaps tortured throughout the duration of the Beijing Olympic Games.
