BEIJING (Reuters) - China blasted the Bush administration decision to scrap a $34 million payment to the U.N. Population Fund, saying on Tuesday it would harm government efforts to stop forced abortions.

It satisfied a conservative anti-abortion lobby ahead of congressional elections in November, infuriated Democrats and disappointed U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

"This only serves the United States' political goals, and nothing else," said an official at China's State Family Planning Commission, who declined further comment.

The U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA) had funded purchases of computers and vehicles in China which "are used to send notices to people about not having further children,"

And in reference and addition to my "German Taxpayers..." post: Fuck China, Fuck Kofi Annan.

Let Larry Ellison donate computers and vehicles (see "U.S. should centralize citizen data" from yesterday or the day before) if he's so keen on donating his products to governments.

Boo Hoo Hoo. FO & die,commie dirtbags.

I agree totally with what GWB is doing.  I always see people bashing him and his desicions, and that is pretty thoughtless.  What if Sore Loserman (Gore Liberman)was in the oval office now?  we be in a ten times worse situation.  We probably would have sent aid to Afgahnistan, just for killing three thousand people.  

Bush may not do everything that we all want him to do, after all he can't satisfy everyone.  I personally think he has done a good job upholding morals and bringing this country back closer to where it should be.  

Alright, y'all flame away...[devil]  i can't remember what else i was gonna rant about, but hey.

While the political sentiment is appreciated, I wish I could bleach and scrub my mind to remove the visual... [puke]

[:)] and the cool thing is is that your not "punishing" them. They did that themselves by not having a Free Economy. Lets end international welfare.

China wants a handout?  WTF!  They have a viable economy, why in hell would we pay for THEIR problem???

My guess is that this was funding somebody's slushfund. [red][i]Now the party on free US money is over[/i][/red]. I'd be p*ssed as well, wouldn't you, if President Bush cut off your party money that Clinton promised?

What's not to like?

Anyone remember how much China was contributing to 9/11 relief or to Afghanistan refugee relief funds?

I think it was along the lines of ...

ZERO.

But I may be off by a decimal point or two.

Let the commie maniacs fund their own genocide.  

(the left gets mad when you co-opt their terms)

Maybe the infuriated Democrats can elect to pay for this 'noble cause' with money taken out of their own paychecks.

Hell YA, they just voted themselves (and the GOP) another pay raise even though they have a COL adjustment at the end of the Congress.
