Human rights in the People's Republic of China

Hi, please don't delete parts of articles on a whim. It can be considered vandalism, which is obviously not wikipedia policy. Cheers, John Smith's 22:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, in case you haven't looked through the discussion page, I have already stated my reasons for deleting that section. I will quote my arguments again below which was in response to another poster:

"The argument you are trying to make with that quotation from AI is flawed. Raw figures alone are extremely misleading considering China has 1.3 billion people. Taking the 10,000 executions/year figure, the percentage of the population executed each year is still way less than a fraction of a percent, which is comparable to execution rates in the US and elsewhere! Those capital punishment figures have no relevance with human rights abuses in China UNLESS you can provide sources to indicate a significant percentage of those executed were wrongfully accused due to human rights violation/neglect of rule of law by the authorities. I have deleted that section accordingly"

Now, if you don't have any objections to my reasoning, I suggest removing it completely as I see no direct correlation between those figures and human rights abuse, and the only thing it conveys is that China must be some evil country where mass executions is a norm simply by comparing the raw figures. At the very least, there should be some mention of China's huge population to put those figures in a more appropriate context. --Lssah 88 14:42, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have raised objections on the talk page. And do not reply on your own talk page - you have to go to the other person's one. John Smith's 23:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, again. Sorry, but those figures were way too old. We need stuff as recent as possible, otherwise it'll be misleading. John Smith's 21:40, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The theoretical case you put forward in your argument is known as 'taking adverse possession' in law; and yes it does eventually make it the possessor's house. That's how Europeans took each other's and other non-European people's land. That's what some European powers had in mind for Tibet. 19 Sep 06
