Rights and wrongs

China is indignant at an American anti-China human rights motion at the UN. With their attitude to free speech and expression it is a wonder. Check out the excellent Living in China for much more on this and reaction to it. Then I refer the CCP to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in this case Article 19:

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
Yep, China's right to be "indignant" about the USA's resolution. Things like this help remind us why China isn't all it appears to be.

UPDATE: LiC are offering members server space if this turns into a more permanent thing. I'm pleased to say the magnificent Pixy has also offered the ample wide plains of the Munu server should the need arise. Please contact me at simon[at]simonworld[dot]mu[dot]nu for more information.

As an aside times like this prove the real value of Living in China as a blog portal and aggregator for all China blogs.

China isn't all it appears to be.

Err, China appears to be a totalitarian state, partially communist, heavily authoritarian, with a thin veneer of capitalism in certain areas and a generally lousy record on human rights.

Is that wrong?
