Anthony,although I do agree that this is not a matter which is within
the scope of this list. I must however mention here that you claim the
Chinese citizens are being *oppressed* by their Governemnt. I,
personally, also feel the same way, but then let us not forget that
these policies are put in place by an elected Government-perhaps for
legitimate reasons- and the said laws are a part of China's internal
affairs. So for us to pass judgement on this matter would not be
entirely fair-since we are both citizens of other countries.
The People's Republic of China has never held elections. The Chinese
government is not elected, it is appointed by the Chinese Communist
Party.

Correct me if I'm wrong but
didn't the FBI recently admit to tapping phones of citizens without
legal consent?
That would be the NSA, not the FBI.
