Let's learn Chinese to speak by ourselves

Wow... this articles features ads from Chinese companies in Beijing that want use to learn Chinese online and give diplomas!
Will the Chinese professors accept that we include texts opposed to official policies of the Chinese government?

Let's then learn Chinese only to be able to speak about Tibet, freedom of expression, Tien an men anniversary, how to contest safely in Beijing and still have a public visibility, how to connect to safe harbors from China, and get access to free information, how to ban Google.cn and use external search engines, how we should create custom interfaces in Chinese, how all other search engines than the top 3 should rally and offer a search interface in Chinese, and create many proxies on almost all networks of the world to deliver their results accessible from China, how to defeat the Chinese blocking by inondating the web with proxying accesses to free information, how to create proxies in the free world that will be accessible only from China, but will refuse all sorts of users logging, and how to defend from legal attempts to close these proxies, by injunctions coming from companies abroad controled by China), how to ban companies working in disguised way for Chinese companies controled by Chinese authorities: banks, travel agencies, transporters, exporters, companies that collaborate with China to give them free access to the technologies in exchange of a plant in China.

What China succeeded the most was to impose its plan requesting that all companies established in China MUST share their technology with a local company. This sort of contract has proven to be unbalanced and much in favor of China, with a few corrupted people in the Chinese government profiting a lot and forbidding even the most basic control by the abused Chinese people.

Rich Chinese population may be large as seen for us and attractive commercially, but the reality is that they are a very small minority. Most Chinese people are extremely poor and live in slavery, including in the richest southern provinves where they are severely controled by their employer (without right to move, living in very crowded rooms without any intimity, and with contracts that require them to pay a substancial part of their salary to the employer, and the employer even deciding when and how to pay them), and also under constant scrutiny by the police and military authrorities corrupted by the chinese employers.

This is theorically a Communist country. The truth is that this is one of the worst rightist country, and the basic communist rights are not even respected (the right to work and protest against the employer for bad work conditions and unfair contracts that forced anyone to live in a place required by the employer, were among the basic rights that were claimed by initial communist revolutions, but even this ideal is lost).

China communism should definitely no more be called communism. It is just slavery protected by State, like it was during the worst period of reign of Stalin in USSR.

Also, China keeps one of the most repressive regime in terms of death penalty (and influences very badly the US which should have never restored for so long the death penalty). I see a very large alliance now between the most extreme right wings of the Bush administration and China, this is extremely far from the ideal of freedom and equity of people.

This powerful regime just exasperate the tensions worldwide and give justification to other countries that abuse their people, and justification to the policies that prefer doing nothing, closing the eyes on abuses.

If only US could wake up and finally claim high to the world what were the ideals of its founders... This would have certainly a cost in terms of commerce, but is this cost really more expensive than the cost of wars and abuses by corrupted governments worldwide... (Also this just exasperates more terrorists, and fighting against terrorism like this without fighting against the sources of exasperations is a compelte illusion that just profits to firearm makers, and corrupted governements...)

The world is MUCH LESS free today than it was in the 70's during Vietnam war and Cold War. And this is not just for abroad: freedom is going back even in the most advanced democracies, threatened by a few corrupted firemakers controling our own external policies.
