ABC News: Is China's Aid to Myanmar a PR Stunt?

It looks like China bashing is still vogue in Western Media. Some nut from the Council of Foreign Relations (CFL) thinks that China wants bolster their image as the result of the Tibetan protests recently. He also said that China traditionally does not give alot of foreign aid. I can't believe that this is coming from a 'senior fellow' of asian studies at the CFL. This idiot didn't even take into account that China also gave the US 5 million plus relief aid after the Katrina disaster. Unbelievable.

In this humanitarian crisis, people like Laura Bush took the opportunty to blast the Myanmar government while tens of thousands died as a result of this cyclone.

I really can't believe that the US politicalize in the events of a disaster.

Apart from what that Mr. Adam Segal, "a senior fellow in China studies at the Council on Foreign Relations" so stupidly said, I find the rest of this ABC News article better balanced.
In fact it 'politely' implied that the PR argument of Segal was utter rubbish, or did I read that wrong?

You're right. Although I think most people probably already formed their opinions by the time they have read the title and first page. Especially getting an opinion from someone from Council of Foreign Affairs who are usually anti-China.

China helped Indonesia alot during that tsunami. even after so many Chinese were killed and tortured in 1998, ive seen pics, fxxx, they are absolutely animals, how could they treat human like that??????

You mean those pics on Rotten.com?
What's with you and pictures btw? How can anyone be so gullible?

Now, before all the "he hates China and propagates false 'western' news" trite crap, I'm not arguing in favour of this article, I'm simply illustrating how you can find anything false or true on the internet these days. Sounds simple enough, but obviously GoChina hasn't figured that one out yet.

Cannibalism in China acceptable if for Health

We posted once an article about how the Japanese simulated eating a human body as a form of edgy entertainment. Well now there are reports that the Chinese have been eating infant babies in an attempt to improve thier health and beauty.

You have to be kidding right? Unfortunately this is really happening!

The Next Magazine, a weekly publication from Hong Kong, reported that infant corpses and fetuses have become the newest supplements for health and beauty in China. Not only is the placenta considered a beauty remedy, but also aborted fetuses are much sought after delicacies. In Guangdong, gourmet body parts are in high demand and can even be purchased through hospitals. The magazine’s investigations into this form of cannibalism took them to Liaoning province.

According to The Next Magazine, during a banquet hosted by a Taiwanese businessman, a servant Ms Liu from Liaoning province on the mainland inadvertently revealed the habit of eating infants/fetuses in Liaoning province and her intention to return for the supplement due to health concerns. The Taiwanese women present were horrified.

Ms Liu also disclosed that even though people can afford the human parts there are still waiting lists and those with the right connections get the “highest quality” human parts, which translates to the more mature fetuses. A male fetus is considered the “prime” human part.

At the The Next Magazine’s request, Ms Liu personally escorted the reporter to a location where a fetus was being prepared. The reporter observed a woman chopping up a male fetus and making soup from the placenta. During the process, the woman even tried to comfort everyone by saying, “Don’t be afraid, this is just the flesh of a higher animal.”

The boy’s remains were cremated in the mountains in accordance with the customs of the region.

In fact, in China, reports about meals made from infant flesh have surfaced from time to time. A video is on the Internet for people to view. In the introduction, the Chinese claim that eating a human fetus is an art form.

On March 22, 2003, police in Bingyan, Guangxi Province seized 28 female babies smuggled in a truck from Yulin, Guangxi Province going to Houzhou in Anhui Province. The oldest baby was only three months old. The babies were packed three or four to a bag and many of them were near death�none were claimed by their parents.

On the morning of October 9, 2004, a person rifling through the garbage on the outskirts of Jiuquan city in the Suzhou region, found dismembered babies in a dumpster. There were two heads, two torsos, four arms, and six legs. According to the investigation, these corpses were no more than a week old and they had been dismembered after cooking.

Although China has laws that prohibit the eating of human fetus, the regime’s forced abortions to ensure the one child policy is strictly adhered to thereby creating many opportunities for these sorts of atrocities to occur.

What would make people do such a thing without any fear of condemnation? Since Mao’s Cultural Revolution, a complete lack of morality and respect for human life has become the norm in China. Over time, domination by the Chinese Communist regime has led to inhuman behavior and human rights violations resulting in abnormal practices such as cannibalism.

We were able to find the video showing still shots of the process but we want to warn you that it is very extreme and graphic. Please do not view this video unless you are over 18 years old and you have a very strong nerve.

WARNING: EXTREME GRAPHIC IMAGES IN VIDEO!!!!!!!!!

It won't let me post the address for some reason.
