China has 'detained' another human rights activist. Hu Jia, a fighter for people with Aids, was taken from his house by twenty policemen. Last month China 'detained' Chen Guangcheng, who fought against forced sterilization, and they also detained his lawyers. In August they also 'detained' a lawyer for villagers who accused local officials of stealing their land; in the past the lawyer had also represented members of Falun Gong.
China is entering the 21st century all right. The question is whether it is on the side of freedom or repression.
