When you answering all the questions. You must be hated all the Chinese and China.

Nonsense!!!!

You have no idea and don’t understand China. You are standing one side of the case to condemn China and the Chinese. Read more to know the history better before giving the answers.

You are like one of those idiots and coursing more problems by the influence of the western media. Or you may be one of them who keen to see one separate from others in their country.

Who are you to make judgement….ha! And that is none of your business; you MUST keep your mouth shut and mind your own business. You don’t like the Chinese and China? And you will be hated by the Chinese too…..

If you are an Indian, you should concern more about Sri Lanka affair, the Tamil tiger and the Sri Lankan.

Since you are from India I want to ask you how you would like your neighbourhood to be broken up to pieces.

Indians are notoriously famous for treating the christians and muslim minorities INHUMANLY.

Bet I will see thousands of Indians rallying down the Indian street protesting if anyone from hollywood say anything bad about “aiswara Rai”.

When you love your family dearly, what do you do when there are problems? You try to help and solve them. Is the Same to the country. When your member family don’t speak out, doesn’t mean is hidings something. Try to understand the objectives of China. She slowly is moving to a new life. With 1.3 b people is not easy to handle or rather say not all 1.3b people can receive same life it will cost the country a lot. Therefore she is trying so hard to strengthen the economy.

You don’t tell is batter than lies, yet the lies that damage and hurt others this is the worst. China issue is up to China to handle, not others.

It is two separate things in my opinion. Yes, in the current China, a lot of things can not be reported because government controls it. Whether it is good to the country or not, it is up to Chinese to decide, right?

I agree that there is certain lack of self-criticalness in Chinese culture, which is not really helping Chinese to move faster. However, it is saturated through thousands year of culture and histories.

Since Chinese culture is not perfect, can they demand a respect and truth-telling? I guess the answer is yes.

Why do you shame for? Being a Chinese? Up to you.

here is my suggestions for you:
1) have a good study of history, including history of your own country. especially for Mr M. from India.(one India friend tell me if an India use Letter as their name it means they are untouchable for generations, it’s india’s unique cluture, pls correct me if I were wrong?)
this work will be very simple to US guys as you have only 200 yrs history to learn. you can spare more time to study other contries’. you know, it’s not so easy for us Chinese, we have more than 4000 yrs, it require us to use our whole life to study its history, culture, and Weltanschauung…
2) welcome to China, trust your own eyes, that can easily make you shut up. the turth is, many western people were superised with what they saw when they come to China for the 1st time. They are superise China is different from western media told them. even Chengdu, it’s much developed then many US cites.

as you said “My understanding is that between the fall of the Qing and the rise of the communist Tibet was in fact autonomous and independent to some extant, but since no country officially recognised them as such and they didn’t ask to be recognised as such , they have lost their chance of an official support from anyone.”

First of all, between Qing dynasty and Communist China, there is Republic of China, which fled to Taiwan. The General Ma Bu Fang crushed those riots in Tibet during that time. Since General Ma was a muslim, the muslim was hated by some of Tibetans even in the current time. That brought Tibet under China territory.

Secondly, you said the same thing that they lost their chance.

2)Tibet issue clearly become the tool to:
a. bring down communism.
b. dominate power.

3)Olimpic is just not the political issue; I am strongly oppose those take olimpic games for granted.

My understanding is that between the fall of the Qing and the rise of the communist Tibet was in fact autonomous and independent to some extant, but since no country officially recognised them as such and they didn’t ask to be recognised as such , they have lost their chance of an official support from anyone.

@Rick: I generally agree with you rick but then you justified use of military force. This is totaly wrong. Pre-emptive war? How does killing people justify the cause of freeing other people? Do you think tibetans would be happy for this? Don’t try to push american interests in the region. The US is thousants of miles away. Stay home and pay your mortgage!

@Sadly: I was happy to read your comment. You proved that my good faith in chinese people was right. I wish there were more people like you.

@Julie: “Ain’t they supporters of peace and hope? Don’t they believe in fate and natural forces of the universe?”
Yes but they also believe in freedom and the dalai lama. I’m sure they would have solved this peacefully if they could rather than getting killed by the dozens!

“China is opening faster than gradually, a pace that might be considered too fast not for the world but for the people inside to catch up. Democracy only works in civilised countries with educated people who are at least able to make some basic judgment and have basic common sense. While many of the Chinese in China are growing and learning faster than anyone you could imagine, there are still many who are not even aware of all the basic needs. My personal view is that it is naive of those who blindly expects a country to provide total freedom to their people while most of the people are actually ‘babies’ who are not even able to help themselves with the basic needs.”

This comment sounds very reasonable on the surface. But china is one of the oldest civilisations the world has known! I think this is twisting the truth. China is a superpower and has a very strong military force. If all chinese banged their feet on the ground at the same time, there would be earthquakes across the earth:) I think it is naive to see china as a baby.
Still, i take your point and i recognise that wealth, education and quality of life are not evenly distributed across the chinese polulation.

“Good deed cannot simply be doing something good. Good intention might not result in good outcome. Deeper thoughts and understanding is required. I know in the end, I can’t expect all leaders are wise and intelligent.” I’m with you on this. That’s why the world needs active citizens and ways they can control the actions of the politicians(democracy). Did you know that in ancient greek democracy in Athens they didn’t only vote for the leader they wanted, but also fot the political figure the thought fooled them or didn’t do what the people ordered. This person would be sent away from athens in exile and all his property was confiscated. THAT was democracy. Imagine the world if we did that today :)

@Neutral: Nice point, nicely said.
