John's Response # 1

Hi Muguel I really appreciate your time and effort in returning the mail. I will try to answer some.Many of your words I agree are correct, and totally supported.The issue is1. China is a big country. To control a huge crowd that is illiterate is VERY difficult. There are many poor people earling less than 100 US$ per month. When someone demonstrate on the street, some others may join in, but not aware of what is going on. It will soon become a chain reaction until the situation cannot be controlled. When that happens, the army will come, resulted in many innocent death. Peaceful demonstration rarely exist, and it will initiate a chain reaction, causing more harm. That is one main reason. Also there is a lot of investment in the country, whether local or foreign investment. Because it is a big place, a small percentage means a lot. Once the chain reaction started, the stability of the country could be affected. It wont be good to all the investments and the government has to protect. These human rights, when promoted in a well developed less populated western country that will work well. In china, pooor, not weel developed, when people dont even have food to eat, that is not the first priority. Such a big country, the biggest difficult to keep it united. American policy is trying all the ways to support activity to split the country, to disintegrate itself. US , and same as many other European counterparts felt 'threated' by the huge number of population of china. Some countries like the US wants to maintain the control of power and energy. what the chinese people know when the country disintegrate intp 10/20 smaller countries, people will suffer more. So the prime priority to unity, any splitting activity is seriously opposed.
