At least, as a chinese youth, I hope the pro-demoncracy can win victory over the junta regime at the lowest cast of Burma people. The reason why have the worng ideas about chinese people are that first chinese do not have the freedom of speech too, second all the media are controlled by the goveernment, either you browse through the websites or watch news on TV, we don't have any news about your country, even we have slightest ones, they have been revised and therefore they are lies. on Burmese,

It basically means that people are less likely to help someone in need if there are other people around, because everyone thinks someone else will, or they are waiting for a cue from others to engage in helping behavior. If the elderly man had fallen down in a less populated area and the narrator was the only one there, he would have been more likely to help him. The people actively discouraging helping behavior in others is a bit different, though. There's a fair amount of selfishness and indifference in America too, and I have seen similar behavior here.

Please refer to these two posts: http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/2007/10/08/china-todays-myanmar-yesterdays-china/ http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/2007/09/28/china-bloggers-side-with-burmese-monks/ It is arbitrary to tag Chinese apathetic though in cruel struggle for development we might be gradually growing numb. But we have introspection and reconsider our attitude because we realize we will be hurt by apathy. Actually we can see much more news about good deeds everyday; I report those above just for alarm that we can do better. Please believe me on giving others hands we are no less good than any other people.

But practically they disturb Burmese people sruggling for their freedom and China want Burmesse people still live under military regieme that kill its own people and monks. Chinese ignore Burmese people sufferings
Chinese disturb Burmese people struggling for FREEDOM
China said killing, torturing Burmese people by Burmese junta is not concerned with China
Chinese do not have hearts to help people in trouble
One day Chinese will be troubled with that low standard attitude
China has no religion officially

So they don’t know how to help people in trouble

Chinese also lie China will let Burmese people decide their future. But practically they disturb Burmese people sruggling for their freedom and China want Burmesse people still live under military regieme that kill its own people and monks.
