China claims to be a country with a rule of law. He hopes that more Chinese people will find out about what happened in the Shanghai Children's Welfare Institute and believes that they would share his anger if they knew that the leadership had been more concerned about saving face than saving orphans. Like people anywhere in the world, they would be extremely angry, because everyone's life is valuable. Even beating a dog or a cat to death, people find that terrible. Everyone would think that is a completely inhumane thing to do.
China is a socialist country, a humanitarian country.
If Chinese people knew about this, they would criticize the Chinese government. Sophia Woodman is executive editor of China Rights Forum.
