Re-Post: I would not mind to fill up this form and contribute in some way to the development of the country where I lived for the past few years…I have positive and of course negative opinions about China and I would really appreciate to give my point of view as far as it can be considered part of a “mind trust” to change (in better of course!) the country….but China taught me that nothing is as it seems to be and this kind of “please, be free to share your democratic opinion about our leadership” thing reminds me too much what happened between May 1956 and June 1957 (百花齐放百家争鸣), when people were asked to “freely” share their opinions on the leadership in order to improve the democratic development among the party….the consequences were not democratic at all…

I have heard, through various sources, that Gu Kailai’s two year suspended death sentence will be served by her during CCP Congresses and General Party Meetings, albeit under the following caveats:

1: She will NOT be allowed to wear any luxury brand clothes, handbags or shoes.

2: She will be given two litres of coffee prior to the opening of each meeting to ensure the impossibility of sleep.

3: All sharp implements will be kept away from her to prevent suicide attempts or mock-suicide attempts to get out of the meeting for a few hours.

My friends in Human Rights Watch are calling it “Cruel and unusual punishment akin to torture” and her treatment will be the cornerstone of their next publication on the situation in China.
