World leaders congratulate China on promoting freedom of speech

Many of the industrialized nations of the world congratulated China today on their impressive handling of human rights issues. German Chancellor Angela Merkel joined Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt in extending accolades to the Chinese government over blocking the search engine Google. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper applauded the Chinese public for their obedience. He also went on to say “I wish the Canadians were more like the Chinese, that way we could achieve more progress and I can implement meaningful programs. I’m sick of being scrutinized by the press and having to answer to general public.” British Prime Minister Tony Blair stated the Chinese are setting a precedent that the world would have to follow for the sake of democracy and freedom. He later assured the press that just because he used the words “democracy” and “freedom” in the same sentence with China does not automatically imply that the “Coalition of the Willing” would not attack China. Meanwhile Fidel Castro, the official god of Cuba launched a scathing attack against China calling them communist pigs and he would burn in hell before conducting business with a country that follows communism – An ideology that Cuba has vehemently fought against in the last 50 years. Meanwhile Secretary Rice speaking at the White House on behalf of President Bush said “We have always endorsed China to follow its present policies and that is why we conduct the most business with this country. They are very good at what they do but their communist policies along with their strong inclination for free speech and their effort to uphold human rights is the driving force for the close relationship between us and China.”

Peace

PS: I could not find a picture that depicts the true nature of the Chinese government towards free speech. Apparently they were all censored.
