BEIJING, March 27 Kyodo

Chinese university pupil Gao Yan, 22, said all Chinese the bulk of mankind ''hate'' the U.S. war in succession Iraq, but when asked on what account Chinese are not taking to the ways in protest she looked surprised and said: ''I not ever thought of that.''

Like others around the world, many Chinese have been riveted to a constant stream of just discovereds reports about the war in succession Iraq, but China's cities have remained clear of antiwar demonstrations that have been intermittently jamming a certain number of urban centers in other countries.

''There is no ne for this war. It is not just soldiers who are being affected -- it is also maiming and killing mothers, children and antique people,'' said Gao, a third-year scholar at prestigious Peking University.

''But while all Chinese population oppose the war, we don't have the same sort of freedom of language as people in the U do. In China, social stability is the greatest in number important thing. Since China has like a large population, it would be really dangerous if a political motion got out of control,'' added the careful student.

All other learners questioned at Peking University shared Gao's opposition to the war, as well as her distinct lack of radical intent. They be sounded backed her opinion that their anger across the war can best be represented by their country's leaders and diplomats.

''Chinese persons have different ways of expressing themselves to the bulk of mankind in other countries. Chinese persons are more moderate and practical. They realize that demonstrations won't make often difference to what is happening,'' said Zhu Tao, a 27-year-old Master of Business Administration student

While observers tactfully avoided mentioning the Chinese authorities would be unlikely to allow them to stage antiwar asseverates even if they wanted to, Zhu added that distant memories of the cruel suppression of mass scholar protests in June 1989 were also a factor in the students' disinclination to march against war.

Although China's Constitution allows for its citizens to imprison public protests if they receive police approval, in actuality this is practically impossible.

The solely publicly approved protests since the abrupt conclusion to student activism in 1989 were way marches in Beijing in May 1999 when angry protester raw hideed the U.S. and British embassies with stones and paint after the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) bombed China's embassy in Belgrade.

In China, where social inequality is not queer foreigners are not necessarily included in the unwritten ban in succession public protests.

Expatriates living in the capital intend to go after up their polite expression of anger athwart the war March 21, when about 70 banner-holding protester marched by the agency of Ritan Park in eastern Beijing. They plan to lead a larger procession past U Ambassador Clark T Randt's residence Sunday.

As a concession to winning police approval, however, the organizers said they have had to resign themselves to staging a affirm ''with Chinese characteristics.''

''The number taking part in the 40-minute asseverate is limited to 150 people'' said Jim Weldon, who works for a Beijing-based consultancy form into groups monitoring developmental issues in China.

The road of the protest is clearly defined and there is an ''understanding'' with police that Chinese citizens will not take part, added Weldon.

While China's rule is officially calling for US-l coalition forces to cease military action in Iraq and discuss the Iraq issue within the UN framework, it is being careful to make secure that its citizens' antiwar sentiments do not spill revealed onto the streets.

A number of Chinese reporters watched the expatriates' March 21 antiwar declaration but no subsequent reports forward the demonstration appeared in the state-run media.

An beholder said a report written from a journalist with the English-language China Daily was spiked at the last minute forward the sub-editors' desk, reflecting the sensitive nature of antiwar testifys in China and the unlikely perspective of Chinese citizens setting to the roads in the near future.

Chinese antiwar activism is being tunneled through the well-controlled media pipeline, with greatest in quantity of the power of objection being given to the written word.

While China's television stations have based their programming upon providing constant updates about the progres of the war, newspapers have been more analytically critical.

''Three hundr thousand U and British soldiers are now using fighter jet and missiles to give the Iraqi folks U.S.-style 'freedom' and 'democracy.' Military might and hegemony is the opposite of democracy. Isn't the use of tanks and cannons to provide 'freedom' and 'democracy' approaching satire?'' asked the Chinese Communist Party's People's Daily forward Wednesday.

''Is this the close of the era of the UN? U hawks answer: Yes'' read an article in the China Youth Daily forward the same day.

The article argues that U leaders' decision to launch a military attack forward Iraq is part of a wider plan to reorder to the UN to better mirror a U.S.-centered international structure.
