Talk:History of the People's Republic of China (1989–2002)

message: I don't have time to invest in fixing this article, but has a lot of issues.  Same with the previous history article.  Parts are repetitive, others have a causal tone that is inappropriate for a wiki article.  It rambles into areas that seem irrelevant to the top at hand and area that aren't in this time period.  Again, more issues than I care to fix or list, but a dedicated editor needs to go through this thing line by line. KPalicz (talk) 02:23, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Quality

message: This article's neutrality should be questioned. The first two portions are good breakdowns of the history of the People's Republic of China, but portions 3 and 4 read like a party official wrote them in order to create an "official" history of Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao's time in office. While the PRC has made some admirable, astounding economic gains in the past 20 years, this article makes little to no mention of the huge problems the government now faces as it tries to reform the economy while maintaining ultimate control. Some of the things not mentioned - the rampant corruption of local officials, particularly in rural areas; developers grabbing farm land with no compensation to the farmers - this has led to numerous riots; the flood of migrant labor into the cities; the damage China's rapid development has done to its environment  - the Yellow River runs dry part of the year and smog envelops the cities; the tension between the government and the people of Hong Kong; the supression of Falun Gong. These are just the tip of the iceberg. I'm not saying this should be an anti-Communist article. I'm just saying that it should reflect both sides of the story.
:Yes, I agree a lot more stuff has to be added, provided there is NPOV. Colipon+(T) 07:13, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Neutrality

message: It seems like that EVERY article relating to FLG has links to Clearwisdom/Epoch Times about the alleged persecution. Since this is about HISTORY of the PRC, not human rights nor FLG itself, the excessive detail such as alleged torture methods really don't belong here. It certainly seems like agenda pushing to me.--PCPP 06:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: Frankly this article SUCKS. Enormous unreferenced content is clearly criticizing China government. Plus, the Falun Gong section surely need to be reassessed to check if it matches Wikipedia's criteria. Personally I figure it doesn't.
How could we have a whole section describing an anti-science organization, which is very likely to be the promotion of those Falun Gong member? All these my assumptions can be confirmed by the previous IP edits that apparently added these POV content. Whaterss (talk) 02:07, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that this article needs more citations to reliable sources. However, judging by your most recent edit (which I have just reverted), I am doubtful of your grasp on Wikipedia's policies on neutrality. Citobun (talk) 12:46, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, does neutrality mean we should simply support those so-called neutral content that is clearly criticizing the Chinese government? Neutrality is mutual. Btw, please stop saying "judging by … I am doubtful", haven't you heard of "Don't judge"? One more thing: If you feel like promoting your political opinions, then Wikipedia is not an appropriate option, per WP:NOTOPINION. Whaterss (talk) 08:22, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm not promoting my political opinions... I haven't even edited here. You're the one enforcing your political opinion by blanking things that you feel reflect poorly on China. Wikipedia is not censored. Citobun (talk) 16:05, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  You reverted my edit which you personally claimed I " feel reflect poorly on China". Still, you got to re-evaluate WP:AGF. Whaterss (talk) 03:16, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
