In one week the olympics are going to start in CHINA.
at this time I found an article in asiatimes by mr.richard.L.King to be very appropriate and eye opening .
before the white man lectures china about humna rights there is need for introsperction I was really struck by the following paragraph .

Quoting Travis Hanes and Frank Sanello's excellent book, Opium Wars:
Imagine this scenario: the Medellin cocaine cartel of Columbia mounts a successful military offensive against the United States, then forces the US to legalize cocaine and allow the cartel to import the drug into five major American cities ... plus the US has to pay war reparations of $100 billion for the Columbians' cost of waging the war. That scenario is of course preposterous. However, that was exactly what Britain forced on China . Along with opium came Christian missionaries whose zealous attempts to convert "heathen" Chinese destroyed indigenous religions in the process and served as a helping hand to the colonial exploits of the West.
