LETTERS: Reject China's hypocrisy

Recently I was watching the Cable News Network and noticed how China "rejected" criticism of its human rights abuses as reported by the US.

However, China's rejection only showed the blatant hypocrisy that supports such monolithic and archaic entity as the Chinese Communist Party. And to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that China is the leader of misleading world grand delusions, my dear reader, I present this inexhaustive litany:

China rejects the rights of families of those massacred at Tiananmen Square in 1989 to any source of compensation, never mind disclosing the names and ranks of those responsible for it.

China rejects the rights of the Uighur people and last week summarily executed two supposed Uighur members of a terrorist organization -- but claim the Olympics are secure.

China rejects the rights of the Olympians to complain or "defame" the great entity of China about its abuses against humanity, or any other thing a human being would consider objectionable -- and makes them sign papers saying so.

Along the same lines, China has rejected the foreign architects and designers who built the Beijing Olympic Stadium and banned them from attending the prestigious ribbon-cutting ceremony commemorating its opening.

China rejects any management of the Olympics if the management is not Chinese.

And who now is dealing with the Devil?

On its soil, China rejects bishops selected by the Vatican and now even the Pope would become a negotiator. Would the Vatican drop recognition of Taiwan just so China would sign off on the right of the Pope to name his Church's bishops?

And to close, my case dear reader, China rejects the right of the Taiwanese to live in peace. China has pointed more than 1,000 missiles at this country. China even rejects the Taiwan Relations Act in which the US is obliged to help Taiwan "defend itself."

My message to any would-be Olympian is this: "What do you reject?"
