When Bjork declare Tibet in her Shanghai Concert. Yeah, it is pretty good for her edgy image. But have this singer thought any consequence that might be caused to those who invited her to China? Has she thought anything about the feeling of her Chinese fans? I believe they are in support of a united Tibet with China. Tibet is a complicated issue, behavior like Bjork did nothing to solve the whole situation. In retrospect, the only consequence might be that any singer with similar style will be more difficult to be invited to sing in China in the future. Of course, this is not the business of Bjork.

Its the only way to help the Tibetan people. How can we just let it happen? Its a sad time when money and trade rule over truth and freedom, and torture of inocent people is allowed to happen. Well done to those who speak out. Well done Bjork my heart is with you. Nicole The world needs to speak out. Its the only way to help the Tibetan people. How can we just let it happen?

I have many wonderfull Tibetan refugee friends. I could write a book on the imense suffering of these beautiful people. Escaping Tibet is only the beginning, sadly it gets even worse. Then they dont have the chance to go home without being put in prison or worse! Nicole I am Australian and lived in Dharamsala for a year and have come and gone since then.
