China

• November 22 -- "The Worsening Situation in Iraq"
A front-page story by Larry Rohter on China's economic ties to Latin America includes, apropos of nothing: "The United States, preoccupied with the worsening situation in Iraq, seems to have attached little importance to China's rising profile in the region." Given the fall of the terror base of Falluja, are things really "worsening" in Iraq?

• August 3 -- Socialist China Replaced by "Cutthroat Society"
Joseph Kahn and Jim Yardley use a tragic young suicide as a (tasteless) metaphor for the "money-centered, cutthroat society that has replaced socialist China."

• July 8 -- An Age of Limits in Wait for Booming China?
Howard French's "China's Boom Brings Fear of an Electricity Breakdown" is reminiscent of Jimmy Carter and the age of limits: "The worry, put bluntly, is that the world simply may not have enough energy and other resources for China to continue developing along present lines….sharply increased environmental damage might make the country unlivable."

• June 22 -- Pro-Abortion Bias, from the Paper that "Calls Itself" Objective
Christopher Marquis covers the Bush administration's refusal to fund a UN group it believes assists in forced abortion in China, focusing on the beefs of "family planning advocates" while wondering about a pro-life organization that "calls itself a research and education group."

• November 19 -- Prospering China Driving Global Warming?
A front-page story by SUV-hater Keith Bradsher approves China's strict new emissions laws for cars and assumes as fact the theory of human contribution to global warming.

• July 7 -- “Conservative” Communists?
“Hong Kong’s Message of Freedom” is a welcome editorial against Communist China’s repression of dissent in Hong Kong, but demonstrates the typical liberal media tactic of figuring out who the bad guys are, then labeling them “conservative.”

• May 7 -- Pro-Communist Bias…at the Movies!
Joseph Kahn’s “Filming the Dark Side of Capitalism in China” profiles a movie on coal mining in China: “By official count more than 5,000 miners die every year….many more deaths go unreported by private mine owners who operate without proper licenses or safety equipment.” As opposed to the prudent safety practices of the Mao era?
