Combating AIDS: Yunnan shows the way
Comrade Pallavi Aiyar is trying to tell us how good the Chinese government is. As with all communist talk, the logic is completely twisted. China unleashed terror on its citizens.
In the early 1990s, a government-organised blood-buying programme in central China's Henan province resulted in HIV contamination of the entire province's blood supply.
Commercial blood sellers during this period paid donors for plasma. To maximise profits, they separated red blood cells from the plasma and then re-infused the donors with pooled red blood cells so that they could donate blood more frequently. An estimated 70,000 to 2,50,000 villagers in the province became infected with HIV as a consequence.
Com. Pallavi is in fits of appreciation when China is attempting to make amends to this disaster. To an impartial observer, what comes out clearly is the pathetic healthcare system in China. Government is in the constant combat mode to cover up its blunders. The utter lack of transparency is once again evident in the Government's handling of a crisis. This is the heaven that the communists and its mouthpiece - CBCNN - advocate for India.

People in China have their Internet access heavily censored.
Which probably helps keep the masses in ignorance else they would be onto their umpteenth revolution by now!
