Martial Law Imposed After Hunan Protest
EET reports that martial law has been imposed in Yongzhou, the site of the recent Hunan protests.
'On March 13, police vehicles patrolled the city and broadcast messages requesting the residents to keep calm and not to listen to "rumors." They claimed that the police had been restrained and would not harm civilians. Responding to the messages broadcast from the police vehicle, a local resident said, "It's a lie!"'
"Human Rights in China spokesman Feng Congde commented that the Yongzhou incident and the recent large scale conflicts between the police and the public reflects the huge gap between the true situation and the image of a harmonious society that the Chinese regime has endeavored to build."

Democrats Seek Mid-2008 Iraq Withdrawal
The Epoch Times is reporting that U.S. Democrats are demanding a mid-2008 Iraq withdrawal - which is completely at odds with the Bush plan to send in more troops to stabilize the situation there.
"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, wants the proposal approved next week in the House Appropriations Committee as part of a $100 billion bill to continue funding the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. If so, the full House would debate the measure the following week."

Chinese Communist Boss Supports Darfur Genocide
Epoch Times reports that Chinese Communist Boss Hu Jintao is supporting the Darfur genocide - should be no surprise really, given that the CCP supremo has constantly shielded the Sudanese bosses from UN sanctions and invested more in the region.
But the article does cover a lot of ground. Here are some quotes:
"Hu actually went to Sudan to reward the Sudanese president who advocates genocide and promised to help him build a presidential palace. Washington Post columnist Sebastian Mallaby wrote a column on Feb. 5 titled "A Palace for Sudan—China's No-Strings Aid Undermines the West." In this article, Mallaby considered that it wasn't coincidental that Hu agreed to finance a palace for the Sudanese president since, in recent years, China had never agreed to build a presidential palace for any country. Hence the decision to choose Sudan was a deliberate act against the Western world."
"China even plans to double its aid to African countries in the next three years, offering them $3 billion in low-interest loans and $2 billion in export credits. Western critics say China is throwing its silver dollars into Africa with total disregard of the fact that 600 million people in China continue to earn less than $2 a day and 5 percent of the Chinese population (60 million) still live below the U.N.'s poverty line."
