One thing I’d like to point out, all outsiders need to be reminded of American Civil War, where the Union (Us government) fought to stop southern states’ secession and ended with 620,000 casualties among soldiers and uncountable amount numbers of death in civilians. I’m a China born and US citizen for the last 22 years. I think it’s Chinese Government’s fault not to explain to the world and differentiate human rights and separation (secession). It’s a traditional Chinese thinking, if someone is saying bad things about me, as long as I’m not guilty, it’s not worthy for me to waste my time to explain. As for westerners, if you keep silence, which means you admit that you are guilty. It’s the Chinese government’s fault of its “high self pride” for not talking to the Tibet leaders. It’s also a pity that Dalai Lama, a so-called Nobel Peace winner would allow violent riots around the world by his believers and in his name. As a well-known person, he could ask for a press conference from the west, he could say something to his believers around the world to stop the violence, if he really is what he claims to be – a peace loving spiritual leader. Unless, both parties are guilty of something…there are a huge difference of casualties reported by both parties, 18 – 99! Germany’s RTL television had already apologized for its mistake – alleged Chinese police beating riot civilians, the footages were actually shot in Nepal. Who do you believe? People around the world need to be brought back to reality, and to be reminded what really Olympic stands for!
