Cina: protestanti giustiziati, monaci e vescovi sequestrati 11/29/2006 Continua la repressione da parte delle autorità di Pechino nei confronti dei leader religiosi delle confessioni non omologate al regime. Nei giorni scorsi tre leader protestanti cinesi sono giustiziati di nascosto e senza prove - informa Asianews. I tre leader - Xu Shuangfu (60 anni), Li Maoxing (55) e Wang Jun (36) - sono stati uccisi in un carcere della provincia orientale dell’Heilongjiang: le autorità hanno chiamato i familiari solo dopo l’esecuzione per far ritirare le ceneri. E sempre l'agenzia Asianews riporta che il monaco tibetano Sonam Gyalpo è stato condannato a 12 anni di carcere per “procurato pericolo alla sicurezza statale”. E oggi due vescovi cattolici sono stati sequestrati per obbligarli a partecipare all’ordinazione episcopale che avverrà domani a Xuzhou (Jiangsu), senza il permesso della Santa Sede: i due vescovi sono della Chiesa ufficiale fedele al regime, ma le loro ordinazioni erano state approvate dal Vaticano.

Kiinan köyhät köyhtyvät entisestään 11/27/2006 Samaan aikaan kun Kiinan vuotuinen talouskasvu on ollut lähes 10 prosenttia, on köyhimmän kansanosan tulotaso tippunut, osoittavat Maailmanpankin tutkimustulokset. Vuodesta 2002 presidenttinä toiminut Hu Jintao on nostanut talouspolitiikkansa keskipisteeseen rikkaiden ja köyhien välisen kuilun kuromisen pienemmäksi, Finacial Times muistuttaa.

Cina: torture e espropri per far spazio al World Expo 2010 11/09/2006 In vista del World Expo del 2010, il governo cinese di Shanghai sottrae ai cittadini case e terreni per costruire hotel e centri commerciali. "Chi osa opporsi viene arrestato ed in carcere subisce abusi fisici e psicologici" - riporta Asianews citando Human Rights in China, un'organizzazione che opera per il rispetto dei diritti umani in Cina con base a New York. E per intimidire i cittadini di Shanghai la polizia locale “arresta a ripetizione chi presenta petizioni al governo” e prima dei processi “li sottopone ad abusi fisici e psicologici, delle vere e proprie torture”. Secondo l’Ufficio di coordinazione della Fiera, il governo renderà disponibile un’area di oltre 5 chilometri quadrati per le esposizioni. Al termine dell'Expo le strutture più innovative rimarranno in uso ai Paesi che li hanno realizzati e potranno ospitare mostre e altri eventi. Un fatto che evidenzia le gravi responsabilità degli stessi Paesi espositori per quanto riguarda le modalità di costruzione e gli sgomberi forzati.

Monikansalliset yhtiöt painostavat Kiinaa pitämään työväestön oikeudet vähäisinä 11/07/2006 Kiina on paraikaa uudistamassa työlainsäädäntöään. Huhtikuussa julkaistu lakiluonnos sisältää kohtia, jotka laajentaisivat työväestön oikeuksia työpaikoillaan.

Banca Mondiale: Wolfowitz ritratta sull'espansione cinese in Africa 11/01/2006 Il presidente della Banca Mondiale Paul Wolfowitz fa marcia indietro e dopo aver denunciato il fenomeno dell’espansione politica ed economica della Repubblica Popolare Cinese in Africa afferma che "non intendeva attaccare la Cina per la sua politica verso i Paesi africani". In un'intervista rilasciata al quotidiano francese Les Echos - ripresa dal Financial Times e da diversi quotidiani italiani - Wolfowitz avrebbe accusato la Cina di ignorare sistematicamente gli “Equador Principles”, le linee di condotta a cui dovrebbero attenersi gli istituti che operano nel campo dei finanziamenti di progetti internazionali, pur di vincere gli appalti, assicurarsi l’accesso alle materie prime e l’esportazione della propria merce. Sono intanto in arrivo a Pechino i leader degli stati africani che parteciperanno al terzo forum per la cooperazione Cina - Africa, previsto per il 4 ed il 5 novembre prossimo.
