Bill GreenRIO TINTO ADOPTS A FAWNING AND ARSE-LICKING ATTITUDE TO CHINA.
March 31st 2010 06:15
Now Rio Tinto has decided to run their fawning line in China we should all be awake to China's continuing bullying in negotiations.
Rio has declared their employee, Stern Hu, guilty of ill-prepared charges ( no witnesses for the complainant, China), heard in an illegal court. There was no media or public allowed into the court to hear the corruption charges. That makes it a closed illegal court. It's also a riff on the Russian Show Trials. We are showing you that we can conduct our justice without transparency.
And where was the individual who paid the bribes? Why wasn't he there to give evidence? Or are bribery techniques so sophisticated now that they only need the paid, not the provider.
Well it would have been expensive for China to bribe a witness to give evidence against Stern.
The trumped up charges show how farcical China is when attempting to deal justice, no, injustice. To have the guilty pleas after the defendants had been incarcerated for over a half a year without family visits, so the torture and the abuse of their human rights wouldn't be obvious, is more the style of Guantanamo Bay. But hey, the US under a new government, decided to have proper court cases.
