I would like to express my support for the Hong Kong Government's refusal to give a visa to the anti-China campaigner Harry Wu. Granted, spending nearly 20 years in prison would probably cloud anyone's judgement but in my opinion Mr Wu is overly critical of China's human rights record.

No nation in the world has a perfect human rights record and that includes Mr Wu's adopted country: the United States. As a US citizen, perhaps Mr Wu ought to look in his own backyard for human rights abuses. In Mr Wu we have a creation of the global media machine: without the media attention he has received, he would probably be out of a job; with it, he has set up a research foundation into political prisoners in China and finds a ready audience on the US lecture circuit.

If he has a full-time job to feed himself and do not accept handouts from his research foundation his views would seem more credible even though I do not agree with him. His job is to create as much controversy as possible so as to get maximum media attention to enable him to raise more money.

On the face of it, the man who complains so loudly about the human rights situation in China now owes his living to it.

The kind of media coverage given to Harry Wu only encourages him to act more shamelessly as an anti-China human rights activist. The more controversy he creates, the more attention he gets from the media. He is dedicated to revenge against China and he does not seem to care what issue he plays up, whether it is people in prison or alleged trading in human organs or anything else. China is not the only nation in the world with problems, Mr Wu.

I am sure Mr Wu would agree that from the point of view of the Chinese Government, he is a trouble maker. From a patriotic Chinese point of view he is nothing but a puppet living on handouts from the West. Why should the Hong Kong allow him in to cause trouble? Would you welcome a rude trouble maker into your home if you knew he intended to embarrass you and your family?

I fully support the Government banning him from entering Hong Kong and if people outside of Asia complain, well, let them. Why do they not mind their own business and let us Asia mind ours.
