"China is Still a Dictatorship" Fact of the Day
(Why aren't you reading this at the new website?)

---
The Congressional-Executive Commission on China has released its 2005 annual report on the status of human rights in the Communist dictatorship.

In short, there still ain't none:
The Commission finds no improvement overall in human rights conditions in China over the past year, and increased government restrictions on Chinese citizens who worship in state-controlled venues or write for state-controlled publications.
...
"China's leaders will not achieve their long-term goal of social stability and continued economic development without building a future that includes human rights for all Chinese citizens. China's development will impact all of Asia, and the world. Respect for human rights must be part of that future," [Senator Chuck] Hagel said.
The Commission's website offers a vast menu of various human rights abuses in China, served dim sum so you can share with family and friends.
