Joanne, you are looking too huggable the past couple of days. It must be that casual blouse, it’s driving me crazy…please no more Beijing reports…I won’t be able to control myself…
The more serious the story, the sexier she looks.™
Locked Up Abroad, Indeed!!!
How sad for the regular Chinese people.
I will not go to china, until their corrupted government go down.

Come on! Stop making comments at Joanne’s blouse, this is a serious topic!!!
Hey there from Spain. Congratulations for this great show… I just have this thought to share:
I don’t mean to look down on people who are fighting for human rights, but I think that somebody has to remark that watching these documentaries about protestants in Beijing, these people really just seem wealthy-class citizens from western countries taking a different kind of trip in China. It looks like they are really lucky to be americans and not tibetan, because otherwise they might have been tortured at least.
Man i don’t think i have seen Kam miss this many days in a row!
Same here in Finland!
…you want serious, how about…
Social dangerousness

i love james and his work, but he is essentially describing guantanamo extra-lite. maybe it only sucks when it happens to an american.
i know he’s as vocal a critic of american policy as he is of chinese, but there is something ironic about americans going to china to tell them how to live their lives - and then getting locked up for it. as if the same thing wouldn’t happen to chinese activists building political devices out of lasers in NYC.
anyway, great story james. keep up the good work.
Your not welcome to come here anyway.
Very interesting as ever, thx Joane
what a time to be alive +_+
What he described is what happens to an American in a Chinese detention center. The Chinese know they have to “play nice” with the US.
Imagine for a moment what he might have described had he been a Chinese national in that detention center.
Man, that is one rare jewel of a clip, Cetus. Thank you. Glorious, Divine harmony.
so biased
It’s you’re, dipshit.
Dumb ass needs to sniff more paint fumes, instead of going to other countries and violating their laws.
note to james powderly: if you think protesting or whatever can help, please do something about the US…free iraq…free afghanistan…we’re ruining their country and you’re protesting on something that has nothing to do with you? stupid moron.
Bad sign for Communist China. Communist China will died like a Torch Flame in Paris by it own citizen.
Beijing Sensors News: Shamefully Betrayal Olympic Idea is a shamefulness to China and a disgrace for Chinese citizen. China ’s image more damage and unpopular.
CCP’s sin: Oppression, Brutal killing, silent critics, violate human rights will stain Beijing Olympics sponsors by association law. You support the bad guy, your company guilty as they were.
they are evil. period
Wasn’t it Gandhi who said we must be the change we want to see in the world? Also, In Letter from Birmingham prison, MLK detailed that he was INVITED by an organization to demonstrate in Birmingham. I don’t recall Powderly being invited by anyone except himself
[...] suspected of supporting any Free Tibet actions was locked up, held, deported, or worse. Rocketboom interviewed a few of the less-than-active activists who spent some time in a Chinese [...]
he deserved it for the follwoing reasons :
1- he’s american
2- he’s white
3- he’s a regular white trash “wanna change the world” american .
I’d hope that’s sarcasm >.>
What a pathetic yanky he is…stupid!
Another free to bed idiot.
mayyoubeshit: So, what’s your prediction for London 2012? 20,000 protesters, of which 2,000 are arrested for violent protest?
China is more illiterate than the US.
lol, well said
Thank you for helping to expose the truth about Chinese treatment of Tibet and Tibetan people. What you did will help the cause of oppressed people of Tibet. Thank you again.
If you against me, then I have to kick you out. What is wrong is that?
