US anti-China re Tibet - US & Australia world’s WORST human rights abusers

US Asia Sheriff, Australian PM Rudd has unwittingly exposed Australia as the World’s WORST human rights abuser in attacking alleged Chinese human rights abuses in Tibet.

Australia’s new neo-Bush-ite PM and craven Bush America vassal, Kevin Rudd, has been touring the world for 17 days and non-specifically lecturing it on alleged China human rights abuses in Tibet (as well as cravenly supporting horrendous US militarism).

I have no doubt that such abuses are occurring - indeed highly respected Amnesty International has rightly demanded international access over Tibet human rights abuse fears.

However a CORE quantitative measure of human rights abuse is the ratio of “annual infant death rate” for Subject people to that for the Rulers. Thus as Australian PM Rudd has himself observed, the Indigenous Australian infant mortality rate is 4 times that for non-Indigenous Australians.

However UN ESCAP data indicate that the infant death rate is about the SAME for Tibet and China as a whole.

US lackey PM Rudd’s comments raise the question as to AUSTRALIA’S human rights record – and quantitative analysis of Subject/Ruler infant mortality rate ratios reveals horrendous White Australian human rights abuse on this measure.

The Subject/Ruler infant death rate ratio is 51 for Occupied Afghanistan/Occupier Australia and 38 for Occupied Afghanistan/Occupier US versus 1 for Tibet/China - on this basis US lackey, war criminal, climate criminal White Australia is currently the World’s WORST human rights abuser by far.

Because of the absence of outside reporters it is difficult to assess what is actually happening in Tibet. According to a March 30 News.com report: “Exiled Tibetan leaders have put the death toll from the Chinese crackdown at between 135 and 140 Tibetans, with another 1000 people injured and many detained” (see: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,1011... ). On April 10 the Dalai Lama claimed that “hundreds” had been killed (see: http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/cont... ).

However by way of comparison, in the 1965 Watts riots in Los Angeles in 6 days 34 people died, 1,032 were injured, and 3,952 were arrested (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_Riots ) .

The highly-respected Amnesty International has VERY PROPERLY criticized China over human rights abuses in Tibet in a recent statement to the UN Human Rights Council (see: http://action.amnesty.org.au/news/c...). In short, Amnesty International recognized the right and duty of China to protect all citizens from violence but expressed concern over past abuses (including lethal force and torture of detainees), the exclusion of independent human rights monitors from Tibet and its fears for human rights abuses in Tibet.

A key baseline measure of human rights adherence is “under-5 year old infant mortality” that can be expressed as “annual death rate percentage” (the percentage of under-5 year olds dying each year) or “under-5 year old infant deaths per 1,000 births”.

The UN ESCAP (UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific) has used data from the China Population Information and Research Centre (CPIRC) to estimate infant death rates in China (see: http://www.unescap.org/esid/psis/po... ) and in Tibet (see: http://www.unescap.org/esid/psis/po... ).

According to the UN ESCAP the overall mortality rate in Tibet has fallen from 28 per 1,000 in the 1950s to 6.60 per 1,000 in 2000; however there there was a wide gap between urban and rural people in the death rates; mortality at all ages in Tibet was much higher than the national average; and in 1990, life expectancy in Tibet had reached 59.64 years, 57.64 for male and 61.57 for female. The life expectancy for China as a whole was 67.5 in 1990 and is now (2005-2010) about 73 years as compared to 67 for Tibet (see: http://esa.un.org/unpp/ ).

China has made enormous progress in reducing excess deaths (avoidable deaths) both in Tibet and China as a whole (see: “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950” (G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2007: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/137... and http://globalbodycount.blogspot.com/ ).

According to the UN ESCAP the infant mortality rate [“under-5 infant deaths per 1,000 births”] in Tibet had fallen from 430 per 1,000 in 1951, 91.8 per 1,000 in 1990 to 35.3 per 1,000 by the year 2000 – as compared to 34 for China as a whole in 2000 according to the UN Population Division (see: http://esa.un.org/unpp/ ). Dr Sonal Singh wrote in The Lancet (The Lancet 2004; 364:1009, “Tears from the land of snow: health and human rights in Tibet”): “Infant mortality rates at 92 per 1000 live births and maternal mortality rates at 20 per 10000 in the TAR were nearly three times those in the Chinese population in the 1990s” but this has evidently improved according to the UN ESCAP statistics quoted above. However it must be cautioned that medical services are better in urban areas (that have a higher Han Chinese population) than in rural areas (where there is a much higher Indigenous Tibetan population). Further, these statistics are for the Tibetan Autonomous region rather than for Indigenous Tibetans. Independent scrutiny as advocated by Amnesty International is urgently required.

Consulting the “World Population Prospects: the 2006 Revision Population Database” of the UN Population Division (see: http://esa.un.org/unpp/ ) we find that for 2007 (2005-2010) the “under-5 year old infant deaths per 1,000 births” is 29 (for China, and a SIMILAR value for Tibet as indicated by UN ESCAP data) as compared to values in China’s “good outcome” neighbours of Russia (21), Vietnam (23) and Kazakhstan (29) and in its “poor outcome neighbours” of Mongolia (54), Kyrgyzstan (64), North Korea (65), Bhutan (65), Laos (67), Nepal (72), Tajikistan (78), India (79), Myanmar (97) and US Alliance-occupied Afghanistan (235).

By way of comparison for 2007 the “under-5 year old infant deaths per 1,000 births” were in the range 5 - 8 for the US (8), Australia (6) and other Western Occupiers of Afghanistan.

These infant mortality statistics can also be presented as “annual under-5 year old death rate percentage” (the percentage of under-5 year olds dying each year) which for 2007 was 0.61% for China (and SIMILAR to this for Tibet according to ESCAP data) as compared to values in China’s “good outcome” neighbours of Russia (0.44%), Vietnam (0.47%) and Kazakhstan (0.66%) and in its “poor outcome neighbours” of Mongolia (1.14%), Kyrgyzstan (1.43%), North Korea (1.28%), Bhutan (1.28%), Laos (1.46%), Nepal (1.56%), Tajikistan (1.68%), India (1.69%), Myanmar (2.09%) and US Alliance-occupied Afghanistan (6.15%).

By way of comparison, for 2007 the “annual under-5 year old death rate percentage” was in the range 0.10% - 0.16% for the US (0.16%), Australia (0.12%) and other Western Occupiers of China’s neighbour Occupied Afghanistan.

China has dramatically REDUCED infant and general mortality in Tibet.

While infant mortality in Tibet and China as a whole are currently about the SAME, the infant death rate in US Alliance-occupied Afghanistan is 51 times that for Occupier White Australia and 38 times that for the world’s worst terrorist state, the Occupier US - this making Australia the world’s WORST human rights abuser on this measure.

Indeed have made a formal complaint to the International Criminal Court over Australia’s involvement in horrendous excess deaths in the ongoing Aboriginal Genocide (90,000 over 11 years), Iraqi Genocide (4 million, 1990-2008), Afghan Genocide (3-7 million, 2001-2008) and Climate Genocide (16 million excess deaths annually, this being increasingly climate-impacted with climate criminal Australia one of the world’s worst greenhouse gas polluters and over 6 billion predicted by Professor James Lovelock FRS to die this century due to unaddressed climate change) (see: http://climateemergency.blogspot.com/ ).

OF COURSE human rights must be respected and independently scrutinized in Tibet and indeed EVERYWHERE.

However decent folk around the World must realize that the anti-China, China-bashing of the racist, lying, holocaust-ignoring, Bush-ite- and Zionist-beholden Western media is part of a racist, imperialist, anti-Asian, anti-China US agenda (see: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.... ) to militarily oppose China’s economic entry into Africa (notably Sudan); to involve India in an anti-China US Alliance; and to continue its longstanding policy of attacking China sovereignty over Tibet and Taiwan.

The World is in the grip of a GLOBAL FOOD PRICE CRISIS and the Third World is acutely threatened by the anti-African, anti-Asian biofuel, food, climate change and globalization policies of the racist, climate criminal US and its racist, climate criminal lackey White Australia (see “Global food crisis. Australia & US biofuel & CO2 threaten billions”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/212...).

The gross, dishonest hypocrisy by the World’s #1 human rights abuser, genocidal, racist, US lackey White Australia over Tibet can be seen as America’s Pot calling the China Kettle black.

Decent, anti-racist humanitarians around the World should not be part of the racist, genocidal, resource- and geo-politics-driven Anglo-American anti-Asian, anti-African, anti-Third World, anti-China agenda.
