People said the 2008 Olympics would improve human rights in China. But in fact we've seen a worsening in human rights in China, Tibet & Xinjiang. Internet/media censorship, attacks on Tibetan Buddhism & Islam in Xinjiang, and detentions of political dissidents are on the rise under the CCP since 2008.

Reply to this commentFree Press to Closed Societies. Hmm, wonder how that actually works. How come Radio Free anything COULD NOT BE HEARD in AMERICA? I know, it is considered untoward propaganda! Elementary, Watson.
How come the Chicoms do not have to resort to this to spread their word?

Instead of imitating the fifty-center's attack on RFA, we might recall what the PRC Foreign Affairs Ministry Spokeswoman said: "Don't take the law as a shield." The Party wants to use the law as a cloak behind which it can cudgel and disappear its critics whenever it feels like it, and insist that it is operating "according to law."
