XIAMEN, Fujian - Netizens have been forced to say they were satisfied with at least half of the government departments in Putian city, in East China's Fujian province, or have their voting rights canceled.

The government of Putian launched an online poll which ran from Dec 1 to Monday to find out whether the public was satisfied with its 79 departments.

But netizens soon found they had to select "satisfied" or "agreeable" for at least half of the departments, because if they voted "dissatisfied" for a majority of the departments, a window would pop up on the official website, saying "Your voting does not meet the requirement".

1. I think some in our government are very envious of China and have wetdreams about doing same

here.

[Duppers]

16. my thought Exactly!

The rethugs would also love for this country to have the same Unregulated capitalism that China is now undergoing.
I told my hubby the other day that it'd be the republicans' 'wetdream.' (Get out of my head. ;))

2. China remains stuck in the middle ages when it comes to civil progress.

As long as they believe more beatings will cure morale problems, they'll be a third rate country.

7. China holds a special place in my heart

Thinking about all the forced labor camps cranking crappy consumer items for the US and the rest of western civilization

and to think they execute workers with such efficiency

such a beautiful girl

such a waste

[TexasObserver]

8. When, where and why did that execution occur?

The girl can't be more than a teenager.

[FreakinDJ]

17. from the mass executions after the last Tibetan uprising

[TexasObserver]

20. PRC falls back on its murderous roots.

Killing dissidents is what they do.

9. I'd like to know too please

i'm old enough to vaguely hazily remember hearing about Tienamen Square but did not understand any of it. jesus! that picture makes me nauseous. that poor girl. yet i'm still curious as to what exactly is going on and what she could possibly have done to warrant getting shot in the head.

[HEyHEY]

10. I've seen that photo before, I THINK she was convicted of murder.

[FreakinDJ]

18. Nope - notice all the others too

these are Tibetan protesters

[HEyHEY]

22. Are you sure? They don't look tibetan

I'm not defending the chinese government, just trying to figure this out.

[FreakinDJ]

23. same girl here

[HEyHEY]

24. jesus. Got a date on this?

I can't get that website.

[BOG PERSON]

3. more proof the peoples republic of china is a waking nightmare of fascist conformity

the chinese regime is a threat to every freethinking man, woman and child, as evidenced by this fraudulent online survey that was definitely authorized by the highest levels of the CCP central committee

[HEyHEY]

5. I doubt the Central committee authorized it

The worst SOBs in China are the small town officials and provincial leaders. They are worried about being fired from their positions so cheat and lie to avoid it.

4. George W. Bush... great president? Or GREATEST president?

:D

[Recovered Repug]

6. So in other words

Satisfaction guaranteed

[HEyHEY]

11. Yeah, I honestly don't know what they're complaining about!

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. But, but, but, their test scores are higher than ours

[HEyHEY]

13. Of course, what do you expect

When you funnel all the smartest kids in the country to one school then have THAT be the one that does the tests?

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. And don't forget that those smartest were compared to ALL of ours

:banghead:

[HEyHEY]

15. And they also have an education system based on memorization

Sure, they could recite a math text, but ask them to write a short story.

[Turborama]

19. Good to see that this sort of news is still being able to come out of there via the internet, though

Thanks for posting.

Any decision on that move, yet?

[HEyHEY]

21. applied, haven't heard
