Thanks so much for the report. One thing I do question is whether many (if any) of the Chinese supporting the PRC were sent there by the government. There are a lot of Chinese and Chinese Americans in San Francisco, and for a lot of them, the Olympics is an exciting opportunity to celebrate just how far China has come in the last thirty years (and it really has come a long way, though obviously it still has a long way to go). These individuals don’t connect Tibet to the Olympics, and are just celebrating out of national pride. They don’t need the government to organize them – if the Free Tibet people can get together coordinated t-shirts, signs and flags, why would anyone doubt that China-supporters can manage it?
