Anti-China Hypocrisy

Anti-China Tibet Hypocrisy
War Crimes in Occupied Afghanistan

"ICH" -- - Everyone wants to see more democratization and human
rights accountability in China as urged recently in the Amnesty
International statement on Tibet to the UN Human Rights Council.

However there is an anti-China geo-political agenda behind the
hypocritical US-, UK-, EU- and Australian criticisms of China over
Tibet. Thus without minimizing either tragedy, 34 died in the Watts,
Los Angeles riots in 1965 as compared to Tibetan exile estimates of
150 deaths in the recent Tibet riots.

The most fundamental human right is the right to life. According to
data from the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia
and the Pacific (UNESCAP) and the UN Population Division, China has
made huge advances in dramatically reducing mortality rate and
infant mortality rate in both the Tibetan Autonomous Region and in
China as a whole and to similar levels.

Thus the "annual under-5 year old infant death rate" is about the
same (about 0.6%) in Tibet and China as a whole as compared to 6.2%
for US- and Australia-occupied Afghanistan, 0.12% for Occupier
Australia and 0.16% for Occupier United States.

The annual infant death rate in Occupied Afghanistan (6.2%) is 51
times that in Occupier Australia, 38 times that in Occupier US and
similar to the "annual death rate" of 10.2% for Australian prisoners
of war of the Japanese in World War 2 – a war crime for which key
Japanese leaders were tried and hanged (for details and
