The Hong Kong government must listen to its people It is not wholly true to say that the eyes of the entire world are on Hong Kong. They would be, of course, if people in mainland China were allowed to know what is happening in their country's most successful city. But China's government has tried to block any news about the Hong Kong democracy demonstrations from reaching the rest of the country - not exactly a sign of confidence on the part of China's rulers in their system of authoritarian government. Before suggesting a way forward for Hong Kong's ham-fisted authorities, three things need to be made clear. Second, others outside Hong Kong have a legitimate interest in what happens in the city. So it is ridiculous to suggest that British ministers and parliamentarians should keep their noses out of Hong Kong's affairs. But, third, the biggest problems have arisen because of a dispute about where Hong Kong's promised path to democracy should take it, and when. In fact, that is not what China had in mind. So, what next?

Jesus Christ in comparative mythology The study of Jesus Christ in comparative mythology is the examination of the narratives of the life of Jesus in the Christian gospels, traditions and theology, as it relates to Christian mythology and other religions. For over a century, various authors have drawn a number of parallels between the Christian views of Jesus and other religious or mythical domains.[1] These include Greco-Roman mysteries, ancient Egyptian myths and more general analogies involving cross-cultural patterns of dying and rising gods in the context of Christ myth theory.[2] While some scholars continue to support these analogies, others contend that the perceived similarities are often without historical basis, that first century monotheistic Galilean Jews would not have been open to pagan myths, and claim that the analogies are usually based on parallelomania, exaggerating the importance of trifling resemblances.[3][1][4][5] Comparative mythology Overview Greco-Roman mysteries E.

Advice for the #UmbrellaRevolution, from Tiananmen protest veterans Please support our site by enabling javascript to view ads. BANGKOK — Much of the world is captivated by protest scenes in Hong Kong, where massive crowds risk Beijing’s wrath. But perhaps no foreign observers are as riveted as veterans of China’s 1989 uprising, which ended in bloodshed near Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. That youth-led movement has been widely regarded as the most formidable challenge in history to the Chinese Communist Party’s iron rule. They are now pushing 50, but many have never dropped their pursuit of a freer, less authoritarian China. Hong Kong’s protesters demand the right to elect the island’s top official. Veterans of the Tiananmen movement have expertise in this rare field of rising up against the Chinese state. Wu’er Kaixi was once No. 2 on China’s list of most-wanted student leaders.

Olmec Olmec jadeite mask 1000–600 BCE The Olmec were the first 'major' civilization in Mexico following a progressive development in Soconusco.[1] They lived in the tropical lowlands of south-central Mexico, in the present-day states of Veracruz and Tabasco. It has been speculated that Olmec derive in part from neighboring Mokaya and/or Mixe–Zoque. The Olmec flourished during Mesoamerica's formative period, dating roughly from as early as 1500 BCE to about 400 BCE. Pre-Olmec cultures had flourished in the area since about 2500 BCE, but by 1600–1500 BCE, Early Olmec culture had emerged, centered on the San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán site near the coast in southeast Veracruz.[2] They were the first Mesoamerican civilization and laid many of the foundations for the civilizations that followed.[3] Among other "firsts", the Olmec appeared to practice ritual bloodletting and played the Mesoamerican ballgame, hallmarks of nearly all subsequent Mesoamerican societies.

HONG KONG • Occupy Central : une révolution ou un mouvement ? Au cinquième jour de l'occupation des rues de Hong Kong pour demander à Pékin un mode de scrutin démocratique afin d'élire l'exécutif, retour sur l'hésitation des manifestants quant au meilleur terme pour désigner le mouvement. "Comment qualifier ce qui se passe dans la cité : vivons-nous une révolution ? ou seulement un mouvement ?" "Est-ce le 'mouvement des parapluies' ou la 'révolution des parapluies' ? "Les gens contestent l'appellation 'révolution des parapluies'. "Je suis d'accord – techniquement Occupy Central n'est pas une 'révolution', mais le terme 'révolution des parapluies' est ce qui est utilisé partout dans le monde.” "Effectivement, on parle de 'révolution des parapluies', mais certains manifestants préfèrent 'mouvement des parapluies', car ils ne veulent pas l'anarchie. "Puisque des médias comme Time parlent de 'révolution des parapluies', nous devrions nous tenir à cela, non ?" Et le fil d'être finalement renommé ainsi : Des cours dans la rue et des ordures bien triées

THE FIFTH MODERNIZATION by Wei Jingsheng At the present, the media no longer play up the themes of dictatorship of the proletariat and class struggle. One reason is that this line of propaganda was used as sort of a magical potion by the Gang of Four, who have now been overthrown. Another reason, which is even more important, is that the people have had enough of all that and can no longer be deceived. According to the laws of history, the new will not come about until the old is gone. Now that the old is gone, the people are rubbing their eyes in eager anticipation. After the arrest of the Gang of Four, people eagerly hoped that Vice-Chairman Deng, the so-called "restorer of capitalism," would once again appear as a great towering banner. There has been some talk about the restoration of "capitalism" and the bonus system. In ancient China, there were such maxims as "A cake in the picture can appease hunger" and "Watching the plums can quench the thirst." However, someone has now given you a way out.
