In 1947 the Australia Labor politician Arthur Calwell notoriously stated “Two Wongs do not make a White” (Wong being a common Chinese name) – but the Rudd Australian Government climate change policies mean that the current 40.3/3.7 = 11 “Wongs don’t make a White” will increase by 2050 to 65/3.7 = 18 “Wongs don’t make a White”. Ironically, Australia’s Climate Change Minister – recently introduced to China’s President Hu Jintao in Beijing by Mandarin-speaking Australian PM Kevin Rudd – is Senator Penny Wong. 

Australia’s PM Rudd has been legitimately described by outstanding Australian expatriate writer John Pilger as America’s “Asia Sheriff”. On his first world tour as PM of Australia, US lackey Rudd (aka Religious Right Rudd or R3) has spent 17 days touring the world and spreading 2 key US Alliance messages: (1) support for US militarism and (2) condemnation of asserted but not explicitly substantiated China human rights abuses in Tibet.

Australian PM Rudd has acknowledged China’s sovereignty over Tibet – as has the Dalai Lama – but has been touring the world criticizing Chinese human rights abuses. Addressing more than 500 students students at Peking University, Rudd stated (in Mandarin): "Australia like most other countries, recognises China's sovereignty over Tibet. But we also believe it is necessary to recognise there are significant human rights problems in Tibet … the current situation in Tibet is of concern to Australians”. The Chinese response has been an official rebuke delivered while PM Rudd was visiting China : “"Tibet is purely an internal affair and none of the foreign countries or other groups has any right to interfere."

Not reported by Western or Australian Mainstream media or by Rudd are the actualities acutely relevant to these  2 key US policies of PM Rudd: (1) the post-invasion excess deaths in the  Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories   now total about 2 million and 3-7 million, respectively; and (2) while infant deaths rates in Tibet and China are about the same,  infant death rates in China’s neighbour US- and Australia-occupied Occupied Afghanistan are 51 times greater than in Occupier Australia and 38 times greater than in Occupier United States, making Australia the world’s worst human rights abuser on the basis of this measure.

For those who believe in the core American Declaration of Independence dictum that “all men are created equal and have an unalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit if happiness”, one key, fundamental measure of societal human rights observance is  “under-5 year old infant deaths per 1,000 births” among a Subject population.

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 Tibet. According to the UN ESCAP the overall mortality rate has fallen from 28 per 1,000 in the 1950s to 6.60 per 1,000 in 2000; 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.

Consulting the “World Population Prospects: the 2006 Revision Population Database” of the UN Population Division, 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 UN 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 (the UK, France, Germany, Canada and the Netherlands) .

There is an inescapable moral obligation of a Ruler to do everything possible to preserve the health and lives of subject citizens. However International Law via Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, is quite explicit in demanding that the “Occupying Power” does everything it can “to the fullest extent of the means available to it” to ensure food, medical supplies, and health of the population.

Australia, the US, the UK and their allies have been patently faling to meet these obligations in Occupied Afghanistan and indeed in Occupied Iraq as reflected in huge post-invasion under-5 infant deaths totalling 2.3 million and 0.6 million, respectively; post-invasion excess deaths (avoidable deaths) totalling 3-7 million and about 2 million, respectively; and refugees totalling 4 million and 4.5 million, respectively .

Key evidence of this sustained, remorseless, war criminal US Alliance failure to provide life-sustaining requisites is given by the World Health Organization (WHO). Consult WHO and you will discover that the “annual total per capita medical expenditure” permitted in Occupied Iraq by the US Coalition is $135 (2004) as compared to $19 (Occupied Afghanistan), $2,560 (UK), $3,123 (Australia) and $6,096 (the US).

If we want to reliably quantify “human rights abuses” we could use the ratio of “annual infant death rate” in the Occupied Country to that in the Occupier country. In relation to Occupied Afghanistan and its Occupier White Australia this “Occupied/Occupier infant death ratio” is 6.15%/0.12% = 51.3 and in relation to Occupied Iraq and Occupier Australia the ratio is 2.32%/0.12% = 19.3 – whereas the ratio for Tibet infant death rate /China infant death rate is roughly 1 (i.e. equality).

For the US, the world’s worst terrorist state,  the Occupied/Occupier infant death rate ratio for Occupied Afghanistan/Occupier US is 6.15%/0.16% = 38.4 and 2.32%/0.16% = 14.5 in relation to Occupied Iraq.

On this Subject/Ruler  infant death rate ratio measure – 51 for Occupied Afghanistan/Occupier Australia and 38 for Occupied Afghanistan/Occupier US  versus 1 for Tibet/China -  war criminal White Australia is currently the World’s Worst human rights abuser by far.

All human rights abuses great and small should be condemned and addressed. But responses should be proportionate and appropriate. Thus according to Tibetan exiles about 150 Tibetans have been killed (China says 20) and about 1,000 detained in the present Tibet riots. 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. There is just no comparison with the horrendous (and Mainstream media Non-reported) upper estimate of 9 million post-invasion excess deaths in the US- and Australia-occupied Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories. 

I have recently made a formal complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC) (see: here) over Australian involvement in Aboriginal Genocide (90,000 excess deaths in the last 11 years; Indigenous population now 0.5 million); Iraqi Genocide (post-invasion excess deaths 1.7-2.2 million; 4.5 million refugees); Afghan Genocide (post-invasion excess deaths 3.3-6.6 million; 4 million refugees); and Climate Genocide (16 million people die avoidably from deprivation annually and this is increasingly climate change impacted; Australia is one of the world’s worst greenhouse gas polluters; over 6 billion are predicted by Professor James Lovelock FRS to perish this century from unaddressed global warming). 

Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. Please inform everyone you can.

MWC News Afghan News in China

Western and indeed GLOBAL Mainstream media have been resolutely informed about the MWC News-reported horrendous infant mortality in US-, UK-, NATO- and Australia-occupied Afghanistan (news that is otherwise simply accessible in several mouse-clicks from the Web: UNICEF statistics but which is remorselessly ignored by lying, racist, anti-Asian, holocaust-complicit, holocaust-ignoring Western Mainstream media). 
 
However a core letter summarizing the crux of the above article has been published in essence in China by the Shanghai Daily (14 April 200: Anti-China political agenda at work, QUOTE: 
\"THERE is an anti-China geo-political agenda behind the hypocritical US-, UK-, EU- and Australian criticisms of China over Tibet. 
 
The most fundamental human right is the right to life. 
 
According to data from the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) and the UN Population Division, China has made huge advances in dramatically reducing the mortality rate and infant mortality rate in both the Tibet Autonomous Region and in China as a whole, and to similar levels. 
 
Thus the \'\'annual under-five-year-old infant death rate\" is about the same (about 0.6 percent) in Tibet and China as a whole as compared to 6.2 percent for US- and Australia-occupied Afghanistan, 0.12 percent for occupier Australia and 0.16 percent for occupier United States. 
 
The annual infant death rate in occupied Afghanistan (6.2 percent) is 51 times that in occupier Australia, 38 times that in occupier US and similar to the \"annual death rate\" of 10.2 percent for Australian prisoners of war of the Japanese in World War II - a war crime for which key Japanese leaders were tried and hanged.\" 
 
END QUOTE 
 
Of course the Chinese are acutely aware of Japanese war crimes and the 35 million Chinese who perished in the horrendous Japanese occupation of China (1937-1945). 
 
Racist, pro-Fascist and pre-war Nazi apologist Australian Attorney General Robert Menzies helped the Japanese invasion of China by permitting export of Australia pig-iron to Japan in the 1930s.  
 
In 1938 he was given the nickname \"Pig Iron Bob\" as a result of his industrial battle with waterside workers who refused to load scrap iron being sold to Japan.  
 
An evil warmonger, he avoided military service in World War 1 but became Australian PM in 1939-1941 and 1949-1966.  
 
\"Pig Iron Bob\" was not only a racist and an admirer of Fascism and Nazism, he was also a firm supporter of British Imperialism, US Imperialism and the notorious White Australia Policy.  
 
He refused to recognize China(!) and his last act was to commit Australia to the Indo-China War (13 million excess Indigenous Lao, Cambodian and Vietnamese deaths). 
 
More importantly he effectively handed Australia over to the American Imperialists, supported Apartheid South Africa and Racist Zionist-run Apartheid Israel (there is a forest on stolen Arab land named after Nazi apologist Menzies in Apartheid Israel). 
 
His perversion of Australian values continues to this day as seen in the awful statistic above of Australians TODAY killing Afghan infants at nearly the same rate as the Japanese were killing Australian POWs in World War 2 - while politically correct racist (PC racist) Australia resolutely IGNORES what is happening.
