			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An online commentator, Wang Dejia aka Jing Chu<strong> </strong>who said next year&#8217;s Beijing Olympics would force ordinary Chinese to live &#8220;like pigs and dogs&#8221; has been detained for nearly a week on a charge of subversion.</p>
<p>Wang was taken from his home in Quanzhou County, part of southern China&#8217;s Guilin city, early Friday, December 14th, on a charge of &#8220;subverting state authority,&#8221; said his wife Wen Zhenyan. Officers confiscated his computer, memory cards, books and banking documents. Since then none of Wang&#8217;s family have been allowed to contact him.</p>
<p>While Beijing encourages Internet use for business and education, it tightly controls Web content, censoring <em>anything </em>it considers critical of &#8212; or a threat to &#8212; the Communist Party. Press freedom and human rights groups say China has jailed dozens of people for writings posted online.  Wang Dejia has now been added to that growing list.</p>
<p>Wang Dejia blamed the PRC&#8217;s &#8220;autocratic nation&#8221; for destroying ordinary people&#8217;s homes in mass demolitions in order to build grandiose Olympic venues, and criticized China&#8217;s intensified crackdown on dissidents.</p>
<p>In July, Wang told the Epoch Times, a newspaper linked to the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement, that China&#8217;s central government was ignoring the needs of common Chinese in the lead-up to the Olympics. Instead, he said, the Communist Party was most concerned about cracking down on dissidents and building new venues.</p>
<blockquote><p>Let the people live like pigs and dogs, I think that&#8217;s how it will achieve its goal of a harmonious society</p>

Interview with Epoch Times</p></blockquote>
<p>Well, chalk up yet another one for the Evil Old Men in Beijing. They&#8217;re going do whatever it takes to ram their 2008 Godless Genocide Cames down the world&#8217;s throat. It has proven unwise to complain about it either within China or outside of it. Why are we &#8211; the civilized world &#8211; allowing these monsters to host the games?</p>
