The only law which  seems to be enforced is when a citizen is charged with “subversion of  state power” for…speaking… or…being at the wrong place or the wrong  time.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The MEDIA is run by the government (with only a few exceptions)… ’nuff said.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Caps  on freedom of speech include: you can suggest that territories which  the governing party claims (like Tibet and Taiwan) should be  independent; criticizing the ruling Communist party; mentioning  democracy in a good light; intense monitoring of publications and  internet posts- with severe punishments.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Speaking of Internet,  China got Yahoo, Google, and MSN to ban certain words to come up in  search engines…such as “DEMOCRACY”. Skype filters such words as well.  Some internet sites are totally blocked.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Want to apply for a  protest permit at a particular park? Don’t be surprised if you get  sentenced to “re-education through labor” instead of getting your  permit.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Movement is restricted by the bureaucracy. If you have a  “rural” working permit, don’t be seen trying to work in a “urban”  district. This creates a second class citizen scenario. Peasants are  non-persons in urban areas.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Repressive Chinese factories-  whatever the boss says goes. Period. He (never a she) sets your hours,  pay, and discipline. Caught talking to a girl? No pay for a month.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Communist  party members must officially be atheists. All religions must register  with the government. Religious leaders get chosen. Content gets  censored. No living Buddha may be reincarnated without government  approval. There is a “Pachen Lama”- a fake monk leader- who serves as  the mouthpiece for Red China.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">There is no due process. The  police round people up and imprison protesters or enemies of the state.  IF there is a trial, many judges are corrupt, paid off, or afraid.  Forced labor, torture, and forced confessions exist.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">“For a  prosperous, powerful nation and a happy family, please use birth  planning.” There is a ONE-CHILD policy. How do they enforce it?  Jail-time, forced abortions, and sterilization, of course. Some say even  killing. This policy is somewhat relaxed in certain urban areas.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">CRIMES PUNISHABLE BY DEATH: Tax fraud and 60+ more.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ethic  minorities living in China? They are discriminated against and are  “non-persons” even though the”Chinese constitution” says “All  nationalities in the People’s Republic of China are equal”.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Workers can’t form their own unions, they can just join State-run unions.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Postal mail and e-mails are sometimes…delayed. Internet chat rooms? Blogs? Watched.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">North Korean refugees? They wind up as forced prostitutes.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Farmers have their land seized.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Citizens have their apartments demolished.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Defense lawyers are monitored, and some are beaten.</li> </ul></blockquote>
