China has executed 1,781 citizens in the last 90 days. That is more executions than the entire world performed over the last 3 years. China is now even executing citizens for pimping and prostitution. It is getting so bad that Chinese citizens, Chinese lovers, in fact, are afraid to kiss in public. Meanwhile, China says it is necessary to ensure "social stability." Now, if that is not enough to power surge your electric chair, China is in line to host the 2008 Olympic games. Beam me up. The Olympic games are designed to be a celebration of life, not death. China does not deserve to host these games. I yield back the human rights abuses, the death and dying at the hand of Communist Chinese dictators.
