human rights issue is focussing on two things - freedom of speech & info and the widespread use of the death penalty for crims.
on the freedom of speech & info issue, what the government is delivering is a situation where nearly everybody is enjoying a better standard of living with each passing year. not all governments can say that - in England we all have more stuff - televisions, dvds, cars etc than the previous generation but in terms of quality of life it's not so clear, we all seem to have to work longer hours and can't afford to buy houses to put all that electronic gear in.
on the death penalty, before criticising how crims are dealt with here, you have to consider a single country with 1.3 billion people, many of whom are as wealthy as the best westerners, whilst in amongst them you have people on 100 USD per month, and yet I would say there is less violent crime, less petty crime and definitely LESS PEOPLE BREAKING INTO, NICKING OR VANDALISING MY MOTOR than in England. so if strict punishment is what it takes, then maybe it's not a bad thing for the overall population.
where they are going wrong, is that in Shanghai at least they have caught that stupid feckin idea off the west of sticking bast'd speed cameras everywhere. now if we could find the tool that came up with that sick invention I think we should definitely instate the death penalty in what ever country the sick perv is hanging out in.
