Jiang Yu, China Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman is an Idiot

From the New York Times: 

. . . China’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Jiang Yu, denounced both the self-immolations and the solidarity prayers for them during a regular press briefing in Beijing. “As we know, such splittist activity at the cost of human life is violence and terrorism in disguise,” she told reporters.

Having never been to China nor Tibet I still think she is an absolute idiot.  The whole world knows what China is doing to Tibet - systematic repression and destruction of a culture.  Jiang Yu is a liar and I'd clap her in prison for calling self immolation - 'splittist'.  Maybe we should do to her family what Chinese authorities are doing to Tibet and Tibetan families.

Violence and terrorism?  The US has much of a lock on this of course but justifies it for national security as do most countries.  But China?  Now there is a real scam artist - they may be destined to run the world for awhile as America fades from the scene but to deny that they perpetrate violence and terrorism is just plain stupid.  Is terror and violence perpetrated by the State allowable or preferable to non-State actors?

So China heads down the path of the United States - mass consumption, little regard for the common person, abuse of the environment and liars as leaders.

The winds of change will always be blowing across the planet and I hope I am alive to see China fall along with the US because of the evil that is perpetrated in the name of the State.
