I can know nothing about Hujia from Chinese media..I know nothing about him.. But I had watched a video about Hujia in USnews and I founnd it interesting that Hujia use ENGLISH WORDS on the board he made to show his opinion.It's abnormal.
A well written article!
As an Australian with several years experience living and working in various cities around China, I feel well placed to comment.
First, it's sad to see the Chinese "patriotic" CPC zealots posting their bile here in the comments.
HuJia is a true Chinese patriot. He's helped 1000s of poor, dispossessed farming people get at least some legal representation. He's fought for the rights to adequate medical care of 1000s of innocent poor people infected with the AIDS virus by uncaring authorities. He's sacrificed his health and his personal well-being so that others can have access to accurate information about the state of affairs in China.
He's opposed by a plethora of corrupt people who for the mere sake of avoiding embarrassment from the exposure of their own mistakes and ineptitude hire/use thugs to attack him, and a corrupt police and legal system to repress him.
It's a sad state of affairs for this country where most people are very friendly, yet they have been treated like babies and also fed propaganda their whole lives. They are also too aware that they (however hidden it may be) still live in a police state.
HuJia is a great man and a deserved winner of the Sakharov Prize.

How ridiculous it is!
I'm a student. Ijust want to say:it's not objective at all!
Ridiculous comment
The man who want to comment another country, please understand the background of the country firstly. You do not have the right to comment china, because you know nothing about china, especially the development after the opening policy. We only can say that you are a very very unprofessional commenter or journalist.

As a native Chinese,I often find it weird that people outside china think they know China much better than the people who grow up in that country.I must say there are problems in China,and they are the problems that could happen in every counrty.If China is like what these people describe on the press,why it is becoming a main power of the world economy?
people like Hujia is not Mandela,someone who fights for the right of human.This HuJia may spend all his lifetime attacking a goverment he hates while doing nothing to make his country a better place,helping the poor may be much practical.
Anyone who wanna make comments on China business should come here and see with their eyes first.
