continuing from the previous post.
If it weren't for the communist, China would have been completely invaded by the Japanese Emperors desire to conquer the world during WORLD WAR II.
If you don't believe all this, check out the following article/link from JapanToday.
To make it easy for you, I have copied and paste the article for you:
"Former Japanese soldier who served in China regrets atrocities
Tuesday, December 4, 2007 at 06:50 EST HONG KONG - A former Japanese Imperial Army soldier said Monday he regrets atrocities committed by his compatriots during World War II and will continue to spread antiwar messages to Japanese people to prevent a repetition of past mistakes. Kiyoshi Sakakura, 87, who served in the army's 59th Division, made the remarks in an address to over 100 students and members of the public at a forum held at Hong Kong University to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Japan's invasion of China.
Sakakura said that while he used to think he and his fellow soldiers were fighting for a war for their emperor, he later realized they were merely invading a neighboring country. Regarding Japanese politicians who have in recent years tried to refute that Nanjing Massacre ever occurred and denied the existence of sex slaves known euphemistically as comfort women, Sakakura said such comments "cannot be forgiven." "We hope Japan will sincerely apologize and improve the Sino-Japanese relationship. I will continue to make public statements so that past mistakes will not repeat themselves," he said. (Kyodo News)

China is the kinda nation that has never historically waged war against another nation! However, many nations have invaded and waged war against China for selfish reasons. Why didn't these nations talk about human rights then? The damage done to China can hardly compare with the the mistakes China has made.
China has long being trying to pick up the mess from war & invasion from other nations. They are beginning to delveop & improve so give them a break & stop picking on them!
For your information, the communist government only formed after Japan tried to invade China and brutally killed & raped hundreds of thousands of people in just Nanjing city alone. If it weren't for the communist, China would have been completely invaded by the Japanese imperialist goverments desire to conquer the world during the

China is gradually making an effort to improve all aspects of life for it's people. They are only beginning to develop and is taking it step by step. It's the only way to avoid chaos. Total reform doesn't happen over night especially for a nation as large as China. It requires alot of time. Please be patient with China. It's really not easy to govern such a huge nation. It's naive of foreign nations to tell China what to do when they are only governing a nation with a much smaller population.
Ultimately, please give China more time to improve whilst reflecting on your own nations mistakes & short comings! None of us can claim to be perfect & free of error!!
Sadly, the Olympics has been hijacked & the atheletes ripped off from the attention it deserves. So many people are focusing on the negative aspects. There are positive progress that China has made too to improve the quality of life for their people including Tibet and I know there is more to be done.
The Olympics is a time for nations to join hands and share the joy of the athletes accomplishments/dreams & NOT a political platform.
China is making a concerted effort to do their best to be a gracious host & to share their culture, if only you allow it to.
Let's focus on the positive, celebrate sports & lift the Olympic spirits!

For all you out there, here are the facts about the truth! Read this before you judge & make personal opinions on whether Tibet should be free from China.
The following text is from Wikepedia, so you can check it out on the site.
"Tibet is a plateau region in Central Asia and the home to the indigenous Tibetan people. With an average elevation of 4,900 metres (16,000 ft), it is the highest region on Earth and is commonly referred to as the "Roof of the World." Geographically, UNESCO and Encyclopædia Britannica[1] consider Tibet to be part of Central Asia, while several academic organizations consider it part of South Asia.
The region was unified in the seventh century by King Songtsän Gampo. In the 13th century Tibet became a part of Mongol-ruled Chinese empire and four centuries later Tibet was further incorporated into China in the Qing Dynasty.[2] The Dalai Lama lineage was established in 1578, and rose to political power during the times of the 5th Dalai Lama (1617-1682)[3]. In 1653, the "Dalai Lama" became an official title, as it is recognized by the Qing government[4]. In 1751 the emperor of Qing Dynasty decreed that the Dalai Lama and the Qing amban should exercise power jointly[5]. Between the 17th century and 1951, the Dalai Lama and his regents were the predominant political power administering religious and administrative authority[6] over large parts of Tibet from the traditional capital Lhasa.
In 1912 the 13th Dalai Lama unilaterally declared separation from China.[2] but two years later the Tibetans accepted nominal subordination to China.[7] From 1912 to 1950, Tibet possessed de facto independence,[8] although no nation has ever recognized Tibet as independent[9][10]. In 1951, under Chinese military pressure, Beijing and the Tibetan government signed an agreement reintegrating Tibet.[11] The 14th Dalai Lama, the head of the Tibetan government in exile believes that in order for it to modernize, Tibet must remain within the People's Republic of China, although he also wants China to give "a full guarantee of preservation of Tibetan culture." " .......END OF QUOTE FROM WIKIPEDIA.
TIBET WAS UNDER DEVELOPED AND SUFFERING FROM POVERTY. CHINA WAS THE ONE WHO AIDED BY PROVIDING INFRASTRUCTURE, BUILDING SCHOOLS AND SAVING THEM FROM POVERTY.
NOW THAT CHINA HAS MODERNISED & DEVELOPED TIBET, TIBET WANTS INDEPENDENCE. HOW GRATEFUL IS THAT???
