		<description>Number 7 ,comparing Chinese leadership which managed to attract all the major companies on earth to invest in China and managed to overtake the USA as number one recipient of Direct Foreign Investment with the Eritrean leadership is laughable.</description>

		<description>Dear Yilma,
you know better; as you are well aware of  google&#039;s mission is not only profit motivated but also destroy China&#039;s infrastructure and socioeconomic development.
Chines and their government are very much aware the western tactics and influence, they have resisted all the odds sofar.Under the visionary leader Mao and their communist paty they liberated their people from feudal system.
They made a quatum leap in buiding basic infrastructure and socioeconomic development.
What does google mean for them? Nothing.
Google as concerned human right advocate
for the rest world? hallo take a break.</description>

		<description>Yilma Bekele seems a bit confused in bearing such an over-simplified view of both China and Google.  Let&#039;s face it, they are both trying to ensure their respective interests are not adversly affected.  
Google is a business-oriented company, and it is not in China to ensure the Chinese have better access to information.  For all I know, Google couldn&#039;t care less if all the Chinese died today if it weren&#039;t for the would be dramatic loss of customer base, which translates to the bottom line (money.)

On the other hand, the Chinese government has a vital interest--keeping the West&#039;s meddling at a minimal.  It would be immensely naive to think that Google or even the West in general cares about the Chinese well being more than the Chinese government does.  Every government&#039;s duty is to have it&#039;s people&#039;s interest at heart.  In this regard, the Chinese government is very smart in evading all the malicious attempts by the West to undermine its development strategy.  Any Chinese will admit that the country has made tremendous progress in the past few decades in all aspects including education, standard of living, AND human rights. Within a very short time, China transformed itself from a largely irrelevant third world nation in to a major force in global politics and economy--essentially ensuring a first world status in the near future.  Who benefited?  The Chinese people.  Who did not?  All those that would like to see it disintegrate so it doesn&#039;t become a rival power. The only time the West raises the &#039;human rights&#039; issue is when it serves its sinister plots for the country or region.  Remember, the West is friends with Egypt, Saudi, Jordan, Israel, Ethiopia, Uganda, Nigeria, Georgia, and Rwanda to name a few that are governed by brutal dictatorship.  Yes, that also includes Israel, considering how it treats its 2million Israeli-Arabs (you can read about it).

The Chinese government and Woyane regime in Ethiopia are not comparable by any standard!  In Ethiopia, you&#039;ve got a minority party brutally ruling the majority, while having in it&#039;s origional manifesto, a long term plan of establishing an independent Tigray after grabbing enough land and prospering its tribal region in order to make a potential viable future separate country.  In other words, the tribal junta does not have Ethiopians&#039; interest at heart.  So, in Ethiopia&#039;s case, the brutality of the Woyane dictatorship can be viewed at face value--the use and abuse of the majority of its citizens.

In conclusion, the Chinese model of development strategy is effective as long as it is carried out by a government by its people for its people.  In fact, Africa and its people would be better served by such a model. To verify the validity of that, look no farther than Eritrea; self-reliance, complete political independence, hard work, and patriotism under a centralized government has enabled the nation (despite the immense adversity by Ethiopia&#039;s Woyane and the West) significantly raise its people&#039;s standard of living including in education, infrastructure, health, and food security in less than 20 yrs after independence.

Africa needs social revolution that ensures political, social, and economic independence under dedicated leadership BEFORE the so called Western democracy.</description>

		<description>In all fairness, China has every right to run its country as it sees fit. I just wonder how many bottles of whiskey that the executives at Google down before coming up with this ridiculous scheme --- lets us bite the hand that feeds us. Life for the popular Google in China may soon be coming to an end, and they can no longer blame the numbers. Maybe Google with all its fortune should buy an island and call it Googleland, then they can run things the way they would like --- free and irresponsible.</description>

		<description>Google sold it&#039;s soul in 2006,accepted censorship and went to the future a.k.a.China to make money.Now that it is beaten badly by the local search engine ,Baidu,which is dominating 90% of the Chinese market, google is crying to cover up it&#039;s embarrassing exit.The motive here is not justice or freedom of internet which google forgot about in 2006 but exit strategy by google.

		<description>I can see that daily a couple of dozen websites are out there claiming to be anti tribal junta in Addis Ababa or opposition to current divide and rule régime. How is it their opposition to this one ethnic government? How come they are not supporting the Ginbot 7 and EPPF fighters? Or are they waiting the billionaire woyanes to bribe them like the hailu shawel’s, Ethiopia first’s. Everybody knows Peaceful presidential election is not going to happen in Ethiopia and all of those opposition websites knows it clearly. If change is going to happen the woyanes are going to put somebody who can take orders behind door from them like puppet that is what they are looking for, they know it they couldn’t rule Ethiopia forever their biggest supporters the west wouldn’t allow them so. Their plan is they will control all the biggest business like construction, agriculture, banking and the defense force as whole under one ethnic group, like they say money can buy everything .they will buy whoever is they think is danger to them, if not they will put them to jail back and forth by frustrating the group or the person until he/they gives up. This is clearly their trick and they have been successful so far. 
So are the opposition websites still not joining Ginbot 7 and EPPF fighters? We will see.
