This is interesting...
No one has started screaming and yelling about human rights...no Amnesty International...No ACLU...not even a politician... thought this kind of atrocity was top of their list... |

They're all tied up at the moment screaming about how terrorists/illegal combatants' rights are being violated at Gitmo!  |

Nearly 60 years ago, the Communist Chinese invaded Tibet. We couldn't do anything about it then, We can't do anything about it now. But at least we isolated Communist China then, as much as we have isolated Gaza or Iran today. The meaning of all this is: Human rights, civil rights should not get in the way of globalization.

I call it venting anger after years of repression. This is good practice for the Chinese army, along with you I noticed Russia was all for China,If we don't get our A## out of the sling , the same will happen to the US one day.China is building , Military, Economy, population, space,and creating IOUs from the U.S., what are we doing ? standing by and letting them have what ever they want.they send us toxic toys, tainted medicine, and if we had any kind of inspection we probably would find many more things they send us that is not fit for rats. |

Yesterday evening I was watching & listening to the Mayor of Lhasa stating the violence started in Lhasa was by the Tibetant monks. During their riot in Lhasa, a couple store owners were killed, many window fronts were damaged. At the same time photos were shown of the Chinese police moving in to quell the violence and they weren't using tanks or AK47s but batons! Incidentally, I watched these news reports on more than one foreign channel. I have access to over 300 foreign channels so I am confident the information I receive is more accurate than what is published by our major networks!

Yea buddy, thats what king George said about the Boston Tea Party and the other forms of civil disobedience by American colonists just prior to the outbreak of the American Revolution.. You write as if you don't realize that the Chinese Communist Party has, as a form of domestic policy, repeatedly and historically crushed most forms of freedoms in that nation for some 60 years. I would refer you to your nearest university so that you may sign up for a freshman American History course that will enlighten you as to the birth of this Nation. As for our present posture towards China, its the epitome of international hypocracy that we would continue to foster "free trade" and grant "favored nation" status to a regime that is so diametrically opposed to the ideals that this republic was founded on, while continuing the economic and diplomatic isolation policies on Cuba. Its been almost 60 years of Castro rule and there has been no Tianamen Square or Tibet incidents there since the takeover. I'm not condoning Castro, just trying to illustrate our government's willingness to sell our founding ideals to the highest bidder; Like a pimp selling his whore!! |

only few % people actually are protest. rest tibeness are pretty happy with current tibet. got a friend from tibet who are ethnic tibetness , we went to the same university here in state. he said if it weren't the chinese funding his tuition, he won't even had the chance to get a good education let along came to US. i call those who burn building, beating people on the street terrorist. same as the people we face in iraq. so are you saying the terrorist in iraq are freedom fighter too, since they are killing innocent people too. and far as US history, i got an A+ in my high school years, what u got? oh give me a break. castro is act like a king in cuba. did you see any chinese leader control china more than 10yrs after deng xiao peng death. there are millions tibet people live in that region, how come report only saying thousand doing the protest? mainly because only few percent tibetness not happy about the situation, and these people are typically the one can't find jobs in tibet due to lock of skills. they basically just take advantage of the situation and start looting.

let me know if you ever goto tibet than we can discuss this. i went there, has tibet friends here in state. and i'm positive that most tibet people are happy. chinese bring tons money to tibet, they know if the people living condition get better than everyone will be happy. if you look at current tibet vs other 3rd world coutries, burma, nepal, the youll know without chinese investment, tibet will just be a poor 3rd world country, and my tibet friend won't even has the chance come to US and study here. |

you may have misunderstood me, not you, the protesters may have(my speculation) been agent provocateurs. |

I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to pull the same stunt Albanians did in Kosovo back in 1999. Instigate, wait for a heavy handed reaction by Beijing, and than cry bloody murder. Well, Beijing did react, but not as everybody was expecting/hoping.....even if they did, there is a world of difference between Serbia & China (their ability to resist international pressure & defend themselves).

NSNN, I was thinking along the lines of China having the provocateurs. Don't you just a conspiracy. But it could easily work either way.
