Following the torch relay events and condemnation of the latest crackdown in Tibet; human rights activists and organisations are being accused of being "anti-China". Not a term any of these human rights defenders would use themselves, Chin Jin, who now lives in Australia, looks deeper at the term and his own affiliation with China.

Chin Jin writes: "Currently "anti China" is an incorrect phrase which is being used instead of "anti China communist regime" or "anti China dictatorship rule". These are so long to say that they are mistakenly shortened to "Anti China" which infers that it also includes the people and culture of China, and this leaves an opening for the Chinese government to stir hostilities, by telling the people of China that they are being criticised.

This is allowing the regime to pull the strings of the people, particularly the angry youth, when broadcasting the torch relay disruptions in London, Paris and San Francisco. Only those with lack of insight, both in China and in the West, would fall for this political ploy.

One day, when the terminology is more accurate and the Chinese communist regime is acknowledged to be a completely different entity to the country of China, then the people will have a chance to truly speak for themselves and what their personal beliefs are. Until then, if they dare to do so, detention, prison and worse will be waiting for them.

It is at this point that I wish to clearly state that I have a strong affection for the people and the country of China. It is the place of my birth and upbringing, and this is why I stand for China and the Chinese people, and against the Chinese communist regime."
