| China: Still Dictatorial After all these Years #2 |
| 2003-12-18 |
| A Chinese court sentenced a hotel worker and a prostitute to life in prison on Wednesday for organizing a three-day-long sex party for Japanese tourists — a case that outraged Chinese and reignited anger over Japan’s wartime conduct. In my original "China, Still Dictatorial After all these Years" I pointed to the ChiComms desire to suprise sex. This is going a step forward, now they embrace the tribalistic view of sex, in which women are a collective property, so having sex with them is an unpardonable insult. Its final day fell on Sept. 18, the anniversary of a Japanese attack in 1931 on a city in China’s northeast that Chinese regard as the start of World War II. The timing, which appeared to be coincidental, angered Chinese, many of whom believe Japan hasn’t atoned for wartime brutality — including mass rapes. Japan hasn’t admitted to many of its crimes from WW2. But China still comits crimes, and calls them virtue. At any rate, present-day Japanese are not responsible for the crimes of their Grandfathers. Beijing’s pursuit of Japanese suspects threatened to complicate their relations further. Xinhua identified the three Japanese as Isao Hirobe, Shunji Takahashi and Koji Fukunaga, employees of an unidentified construction company in Osaka, a city in western Japan. It cited testimony that they "clearly requested sexual services" from hotel managers while arranging a business meeting for the company. China aspires to be the World’s greatest thug. They might already be. The trial began Friday and ended Saturday amid tight security in the Zhuhai Intermediate Court. The public and nonessential employees were barred from the courthouse by officials who cited privacy concerns. Were are the Human Rights Organizations protesting this show trial? Oh, they are all too busy defending Saddam Hussein. |

| #1 Were are the Human Rights Organizations protesting this show trial? - They weren't required to publicize the injustice. Because the trial involved illicit sex and hookers, all of American is paying close attention. |
