China's president takes part in online chat
IN A HISTORIC move, China’s President Hu Jintao became the first politician from the Communist state to take part in a live web chat today.
The chat, hosted on a chatroom called "Strong China" belonging to the Chinese Communist party’s official news web site, started with Hu Jintao typing: " Hello, my friends! It is my great pleasure to have the opportunity to talk with you". Riveting stuff so far.
The president was asked by a chat member whether he regularly browsed the Internet, to which Hu predictably replied that the Strong China web forum was, "one of the Web sites I often choose to visit". Well, you hardly expected him to say Youtube or the INQ now, did you?
Another reader persisted and asked Hu what other sites he liked to look at online, to which the Chinese president answered, "I read domestic and international news on the web". International news? Obviously no one censors the president’s Internet then.
Hu went on to say that the opinions of “netizens” were of great interest to him and that he hoped "to get some suggestions and advice proposed by our netizens to the government and the Party". Just so long as its not subversive or in any way contradicts the party line. And if it does, be sure to include your full name and address so we can come over and have a nice friendly chat. Ahem.
Hu noted that the Communist party stressed "the idea of 'putting people first' and 'governing for the people'," adding: "The web is an important channel for us to understand the concerns of the public and assemble the wisdom of the public."
Invisible elephants in the chatroom, by virtue of the fact they weren’t mentioned at all were the Sichuan earthquake victims, Tibet and even the upcoming Beijing Olympics. Maybe they just didn’t feature too prominently in all that domestic and International news the President so likes to read. µ

Do you remember that one? Around the time the Deputy Prime Minister got hit with an egg and punched a voter in the face?

The nice smiley Tony Blair's workers checked into her and her husbands background in order to find any dirt so they could attack them in the press over it.

Her husband was in hosiptal with cancer, she was stressed about something although I can't remember what it was. But all I do remember is that he was "in the wrong" and that his workers tried to destroy that lady over it.

Do we need politicians now that we have text voting? I think we can vote on most of the proposals ourselves.
Oh but I do like sarcasm, but let's not use it to do the government approved china bashing in a way that completely ignores we are the exact same, G7 and anti islam protesters to name but a few get rounded up and beaten and thrown in jail without trial every day in the EU and such bastions of 'freedom' even when they do nothing harmful at all, and politicians talk the same BS here and play the same damn hypocrite games.
Didn't england just approve putting people, whom you can't find anything to stick to even if you look for a month, in jail without trial? Doesn't the west have secret prisons and torture? they even admit to it! and here we are getting told to pretend china is so evil, and why? Because we owe them money, and that's our god.
To be most honest, some sarcasm are funnier than others. This article sounds more like a loser trying to entertain himself by making ignorant jokes that no one thinks is funny. Unless you are still in the 1970's, back when China was still Communist.

Lol some nerds really need to travel more.
To be honest, if you don't like sarcasm yer in the wrong place.
Instead of all those (attempts at) sarcastic remarks you could simply have said 'It was exactly like a british politician doing such a thing' and we'd know enough.
