Why is everybody criticising the Chinese governement for suppressing the Tibetans and human right violation? Don't they see how the Tibetan activist trying to disrupt the Olympic torch relay? I don't see peace in that. the Olympics is a chance for China to finally engage the world, the politicians choose to use Tibet as an excuse to boycott the game. This is not at all in the spirit of the Game.

 

I think the truth is, they are really scared. with the social development in china, there is a shift of focus from the traditional developed nations to emerging countries like China, undoubtedly, there is a greater focus economically in China. the lead nations are losing their prime status. Believe it or not, the westerners can be very stubborn in their ways, it's hard for them to change, and most disheartenly, they refuse to accept any such drastic change in status. it's human nature to be scared and anxious about the uncertainty to come. it's also human nature to stop by all means such a change, out of self defense. Befriend or be foe.

 

Mr Hu has always been an advocate of Taoism and Confucious in the moral education of Chinese. In this, I hope he can be strong and firm in his stand in view of the western pressure. Tibet is a souvereign state of the People's Republic of China, it's undisputable to deploy military forces into the region under critical circumstances, it is also not upto any media/nation to criticise the actions of a souvereign state in handling it's own domestic conflict.

 

Last i checked, China has a legitimate and rational government in its full functionality. There is no reason for any country to blow whistle as if the next moment this gigantic country may suddenly fall apart, due to some problems they themselves have had when they were trying to develop and some are still suffering this day, like inflation and human rights. Until this government stands no longer, we will be strong, we will be firm, in what we believe. Now we need to believe that Tibet is a state of China.

 

Don't you tread on us!
