I was reading the New York Times today and I came upon an article that disturbed me a little. The headline is what caught my eye first: Prominent Chinese Rights Activist Is Jailed. "A little scary," I thought, since I'm in the country that sentenced him. Give the article a read, you might find it interesting.
The thing that worried me was the sentence: But Xinhua, the country’s official news agency, reported that Mr. Hu had confessed to the charges. I have noticed similar uses of words and phrases like "confess", "turned themselves in", and "admitted to authorities" in other articles I've read about Tibet in other Chinese published news papers... something to think about.
