Read a few comments from Chinese people condemning the Tibetan 'terrorism' on the BBC
'Have your say' forum. Apparently 'what was once China's will always be China's...

Nice.

Has anyone recently seen the news footage on Tibet?

Is it just me or is China** trying to make the Tibetans and their monks look
hideous as responsible for all the fires, looting and mayhem happening over
there right now.

**the one with The Wall

1) China blacked out the transmission and exportation of all news and
evidence (to the best of their power),
2) when the stuff does make it out, it happens towards thurs.night/friday
just in time for the weekend because no one watches news on the
weekend, so China won't be seen 'so bad, by so many, over so much...'
3) what does make it out makes it look like the Tibetans are just animals
on a rampage, and the official Chinese comments about it have the tone
of, "oh poor us...you see, you see World, those reckless animals...."
[cue pics of cars on fire, of a monk kicking a storefront, etc.]

Boycott China. Boycott the Olympics.
Take a small hit on cancelling your olympic tour packages to china and
spend the rest of your money at home supporting local merchants and jobs.

Didn't mean to make this a political rant; was just curious to see if
others saw different, better news coverage than what i've seen. (mine was
from BBC World on Tv).
