China/Russia??? The future of the world?REALLY!

A riddle:
WHATS WORSE THAN BEING A CHINESE FATHER?
I keep hearing China will rule the world. China is taking over. China this, china that....
China is in for a lot of problems. As they have opened the door to commerce, they have opened the door to Pandora's Box. Once people make money, they will want rights. China doesn't seem to be a place for people. China wants to be a dictatorship and now people are getting powered. How long before the fuse lights up?
All those who believe in China read below. REALLY THIS IS THE FUTURE LEADER OF THE WORLD?!
BEIJING, China — A father who organized a support group for other parents whose children were sickened in one of China's worst food safety scandals was convicted and sentenced Wednesday to 2 1/2 years in prison for inciting social disorder, his lawyer said.

Zhao Lianhai had pushed for greater official accountability and compensation for victims and their families after the 2008 scandal that shocked China. His sentence appeared particularly severe because the case related to a public safety incident that the embarrassed leadership had pledged to tackle in a bid to restore consumer confidence.

"We'd expected it to be much less than that. It is such a harsh sentence," lawyer Li Fangping said. "The crimes he was accused of were nothing more than what regular citizens would do to defend their rights."

Zhao, a Beijing resident whose young son was among the nearly 300,000 children sickened by melamine-tainted milk, vowed to appeal and began a hunger strike to protest the verdict, Li said.

Zhao set up an online forum to share information about the poisonings in 2008 after his son, then 3, was diagnosed with kidney stones.

"When he heard that his sentence was two and a half years, he was appalled, and he pushed away a sign that was in front of him, and said, 'I'm not guilty. I want to appeal.' He tried to remove his prison uniform, and refused to be handcuffed," Li said.

Amnesty International condemned the sentence.

"We are appalled that the authorities have imprisoned a man the Chinese public rightly view as a protector of children, not a criminal," said Catherine Baber, the human rights group's Asia-Pacific deputy director.

Zhao, a former reporter and media advertising salesman, has been jailed since he was taken away by police in November 2009.

His sentence appears to be part of a trend of growing intolerance for government critics and independent social activists. Environmentalists, AIDS activists and lawyers who took on sensitive cases have disappeared, been locked up, or otherwise harassed, while this year's Nobel Peace Prize recipient, dissident writer Liu Xiaobo, is serving an 11-year prison sentence for subversion handed down after he co-authored a call for widespread reform of the authoritarian, one-party political system.

Li said prosecutors levelled three charges against Zhao: That he organized a gathering of a dozen parents of sick children at a restaurant, held a paper sign in front of a court and factory involved in the scandal as a protest, and gave media interviews in a public place.

Six children died and hundreds of thousands were sickened by baby formula tainted with melamine, which can cause kidney stones and kidney failure. The industrial chemical, used in the manufacture of plastics and fertilizer, was added to watered-down milk to increase profits and fool inspectors testing for protein.

Several dairy industry figures were prosecuted and punished, including three people given the death penalty.

The general manager and chairwoman of Sanlu, the company at the heart of the scandal, was given a life sentence. Dozens of officials, dairy executives and farmers have been punished for allowing the contamination to take place.

ANSWER; RUSSIAN REPORTER.

In Putin's Russia, reporters get killed if they so much as say anything bad about government or the friends of the government. Google how many reporters have been beaten in Russia and see the appalling results.
How is this country good for the world with the leadership it has now? The future, really?????

Two unknown men waited for Russian journalist Oleg Kashin to come home and then bludgeoned him on his head, arms and legs. Yet his editor said it was Kashin's mangled hands — with part of one pinky broken off — that showed his attackers wanted to make sure he never wrote again.

Kashin, a 30-year-old reporter for the respected Kommersant newspaper, was hospitalized in a drug-induced coma after the attack early Saturday outside his Moscow apartment.
He is the latest in a line of journalists and activists to be assaulted in Russia. In most cases, the perpetrators are never found, but the Kremlin appeared determined to show that this time things will be different.

President Dmitry Medvedev ordered Russia's prosecutor general and interior minister to oversee the investigation into the attack, and all of Russia's national television networks, which are under direct or indirect Kremlin control, led their programs with the news.

"The criminals should be found and punished," Medvedev wrote in Twitter.

Neighbors witnessed the attack on Kashin, who was jumped as he returned home just after midnight. Investigators also have footage from a video surveillance camera outside the building, said Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for the investigators, who confirmed that the journalist's work was a likely motive for the attack.

Kashin's wife, Yevgenia Milova, said he had received no threats.

She wrote in her blog that doctors had operated to put Kashin's broken jaw back together and were monitoring a skull injury. Only one of his legs was broken, she said, but the last joint on his left pinky was completely gone.

She and her husband's colleagues reported that the doctors had induced a coma after operating.

Kashin's editor at Kommersant, Mikhail Mikhailin, said he had no doubt that the attack was in retaliation for Kashin's reporting.

"They broke his fingers," Mikhailin told Ekho Moskvy radio. "It is completely obvious that the people who did this did not like what he was saying and what he was writing. What specifically they did not like, I don't know, but I firmly connect this with his professional activities."

Mikhailin said Kashin was investigating "informal organizations" but gave no specifics. The phrase could refer to anything from neo-Nazis to environmentalists.

Kashin has written on a wide range of social and political issues, some politically sensitive, others not. His reporting appeared to be straightforward and balanced.
