The Chinese government loves to whine about how criticisms of China are hurting the feelings of the Chinese people. But Stephanie Hoo's report about the Chinese government putting two labor activists on trial for subversion (a charge that can carry the death penalty) for leading worker demonstrations, seems pretty hurtful, too.

Update
Philip P. Pan writes that there was an angry crowd holding a vigil in sub-zero temperatures outside the trial. "'How is it a crime to ask for our wages?' asked one unshaven worker, stamping his feet to stay warm. 'How can that be subverting state power?'" I'd say their feelings were hurt.
