BBC truely lost all its credibility and responsibility towards the true meaning of media journalism,even the british people start to realize how stupid and how arrogant the BBC report really are,its the same propaganda machine for the british goverment to brainwash the british people,to remove the attention of the increasing society problems within the UK to the foreign land, so CCP or the british tory,there are not major different at all.

[redleader55yt]

this guy did a good job..

[TheMightyGuri]

article 35 of chinas constitution tells me what???

kicking out the media from tibet and creating such hypocritic groups calling the media in the west bias is more than just a big failure

pathetic chinese communist party and their dumb followers

[DuhLie]

@TheMightyGuri you should read what Article 69 states..........

[TheMightyGuri]

@DuhLie

The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress is responsible to the National People's Congress and reports on its work to the Congress.

so?

[DuhLie]

@TheMightyGuri thats what article 69 says?

damn, i was hoping it was about having simultaneous orals....six. nine.

[john34551]

love china ！！！~~

[Jaguarjager]

many countries hates china ,look tibet is going to protest to china and look how many countries (usa, europe ) to be friend with tibet :s

[scotplaya]

Replace the word Tibetans with Native Americans and replace the word china with US.

[iamlumin]

This guys an idiot. Tibet was invaded a mere 60 years ago. This is recent history not ancient history. It's an issue because Tibet was never rightfully a part of China and therefore it's not an issue of sovereignty or separatism. It's an issue of invasion and occupation and exploitation and oppression. If Tibet was always a part of China this would be no issue at all as all Tibetans would accept this fact because ti would have always have been that way. But it wasn't that way was it?

[beareroftruthiness]

Tibetans are simply a disenfranchise ethnic group of China that is why they are not happy. Just like black people and Native American in the US, only black people and nativer american don't have the backing of the CIA. We are all for more human rights, but not independent. Black panther wants their country, everyone wants something. Tibetan independence is bullshit. Who is going to be the leader - a religious figure. Most Tibetan independence protester are WHITE, STFU.

[iamlumin]

So now you're saying we don't even know what we are? That's insanity! I've never received any help from the CIA. That's paranoia. I wish they did help us. I'd welcome it. Leader would be elected, anyway, it's none of your business, none of China's business. Funny, Chinese want others to stay out of their business but they actually invaded and occupy my country which means they're in our business all the time.

[beareroftruthiness]

Simply put, "Tibet" will NEVER receive independence. Tibet is not a country. Your country is US. Have you been to Tibet?

[iamlumin]

Been to Tibet. I grew up in Tibet idiot! Been to Tibet, I still have family and friends in Tibet. The ones who survived that is. So if you are so comfortable with your position and you support the Chinese occupation of my sacred homeland then so be it. Why are you here posting? What's the point? Because you know deep down you are wrong, have been wrong, and will always be wrong on this issue. There is no rationalization or justification of invasion, exploitation and occupation of my country.

[beareroftruthiness]

When did you leave Tibet? You must be the progeny of slave owner. I am posting because of misguided poster like you, all other white hippies who thinks their shit don't stink, and racist neo-conservative who wants to build a case for war. Whatever, your country is America. Since anyone can go to Tibet and visit, where is the genocide they are talking about. You guys talk and it all seemed like racist anti-Chinese propaganda.

[iamlumin]

My family were not nobles or monks or lama's. There was no slavery, that's a complete fabrication. That's very funny. Not anyone can go to Tibet and even when you get there it's difficult to move around freely but not as difficult as it is for Tibetans. Unless of course you like being watched 24/7.

[jmezm7777]

Dear Mr beareroftruthiness, you are a puppet with no mind of your own.

Assimilated? Your mind has been assimilated.

[beareroftruthiness]

Explain to be the British invasion of Xizang and the CIA involvement of "Tibet independence"? Who is going to trust you when you ally yourself with the CIA who murder and topple government not in the interest of people living there by US interest. To me, since you are living in the US, you have no stake in Tibet. You will be assimiliate and used to cause trouble for people.

[iamlumin]

Murder, that's funny, over one million of my brothers and sisters have died as a result of the Chinese invasion and occupation. Just last week a young man was beaten to death. I still have contact with family and friends in Tibet. It's not easy but I know what's going on. I don't have to explain history. Pointing to other crap to justify and rationalize invasion occupation of my country is futile.

[beareroftruthiness]

Everyone wants independence, but no one thinks about after "independence". These white hippies bandwagon jumper will to another cause and forget the Tibetan. If you really love Tibet, you should go there and volunteer for the people without any ideological hang ups. NATO just want to use the Tibet as a missile base like they are trying to do in the former Soviet bloc. History, Present, and the future is not as simple as black and white.

[iamlumin]

Freedom is freedom. No China wants to use Tibet as military base and have already moved huge numbers of troops into Tibet. Everything accusation you make the Chinese either have already done or are planning to do in the future. It's so silly. So you won you have Tibet, then what is your problem? Imagine having what you wanted and continuing to argue with people over it. It's called insanity! Get some help!

[beareroftruthiness]

Xizang is Chinese land so they can use it how ever they want.

[iamlumin]

If all of greater Tibet was always China's then why after they invaded did they proceed to divide it up into pieces and incorporate some of the areas into preexisting Chinese provinces? I'll tell you why. Because it was never Chinese in the first place.

[sunnybone0629]

why western always criticize other contry??

who give them the power??

because they are white?? because they are rich??

they forget what they do in history??

they sell black people,they invade other contry.hence they have no right to talk about human right.

[aceatbass13]

why do other countries always criticize the West? Probably the same reason....IGNORANCE

[sunnybone0629]

have you forgotten the western history???

invade to other's contry using your gun.snatch africa and asia especially china.

do you forget what shame on your ancestor!

they sell and buy black people,they invade other contry.hence they have no right to talk about human right.

[aceatbass13]

I think you are missing my point. Sure my "Ancestors" commited crimes. That doesn't mean I have. Every country has done things in it's past it wants to hide. What I am saying is the people that say China is run by criminals, etc. are as ignorant as the people such as yourself that say that the west are criminals.

[aceatbass13]

"they sell black people,they invade other contry.hence they have no right to talk about human right." Correction: They SOLD black people. If I am not mistaken, China had slaves as well. They were forced to build the great wall. I am not defending my countries government nor am I defending China's government.

[aceatbass13]

What I am saying is that all of our governments have committed travisties and that it is ignorant for anyone to have such nationalist pride for ones government. All governments do is wish to gain power,money, capital,land and become larger... Anyone that talks down to another country and says that their own country is superior is ignorant. Their is no "Best" country. You have obviously fallen into the nationalist trap which causes violence and hatred towards others.

[sunnybone0629]

yes many your point is reasonable.

my point is that there is no justice goverment,but why western alway critise chinese using the reason such as tibet, human right and democracy. they have no right to do this. of cause we chinese can accept criticise but one thing should be known is fair.

[kaninachow1]

It is funny how he called the Tibetans "separatists". Since when fighting for one's homeland makes one a separatist. If the Tibetans fighting for sovereign Tibet are separatists, then the Chinese in the 1940s were separatists trying to separate the Empire of Japan. Typical fuckup pro-commie logic.

[Rakkasans2006]

Tibet was never a country. Only you Tibetan think so

[beareroftruthiness]

Same way the US call Iraqis terrorist for killing US soldier in Iraq.

[beareroftruthiness]

The West and whites have caused most of the trouble in the modern world. So I never listen or trust any white person. They have no moral compassion but their own self-interest. I look out more my own self-instrest and no white person represent my interest.

[sunnybone0629]

you are totally correct.

[luojiean]

You're a racist.

Same could be said about any group of people. I am Taiwanese, Chinese ethnicity, not white, and Chinese killed more of their own kind than any other race in this modern world. Communism and facism and other extreme views are the cause of the true problems, like white Nazis, white communists and Chinese communists... and racists like you.

[beareroftruthiness]

We all know the Cultural revolution was illegal and a mistake. There is a different between bad policy and deliberate genocide. If it were for Nationalism and partly Communism, China would be ruled by the West and broken off to piece. Communism was just a tool during a turbulent period to rally people against colonialism. You don't see any communist in China. I am not a communist, matter of fact I hate communism, but it was the ideology of the time to rally peasants with simple worldview.

[fukuoka315]

chinese lie, people die

[ishan8526]

agree

[sunnybone0629]

why did you know

tibetans kill chinese han ethnic people

western media lie, had you ever gone to tibet,or do you know where tibet is

[w00tsville]

You do realise this is ON the BBC - do you get that, ON the BBC, the BBC is reporting accusations of bias against it - and giving the people who are doing the accusing a platform to do it.

Do they edit what he is saying?

Do they villify these comments? no.

They cover the events.

I'm 100% certain that the BBC has and will make more mistakes in reporting, but it fundamentally TRIES to be neutral - look at this as evidence, IT is getting criticised yet allows them to do so!

[beareroftruthiness]

No news station is Neutral. BBC is a British propaganda arm. The West are simply better at propaganda than any one else. Why else did the go into Iraq for a lie.

[w00tsville]

Clearly don't know what your talking about... Kelly Affair? The BBC exposed the governments lie about Iraq during the invasion

[biochemist8]

[119967chado]

It should go both ways . CCTV should start reporting some facts::Or are you actually implying its the epitome of truth!!ha ha !!

[Bostonking8]

BBC=British Bullshit Company! It poisons the world!

[uvgarden]

etworld,BBC never reports killings in raceriots. BBC manipulates/bans videos of Charles De Meneze. BBC claims cops are above law who kill and walk away free. BBC reporters wantonly slander non-Christian nations; creating lies from rumors. In the summer of 2007,a few Chinese high-school kids were bored in their summer vacation. They went to a local business and wrapped a few gift boxes. This was reported by BBC as "China uses child labor for Olympics". BBC is a propaganda machine with no freedom.

[uvgarden]

Jenny is a Nigerian. She told me her answer:

"No we don't have freedom in Nigeria, just like we don't have houses and cars. We actually live in trees. When it floods, we have to swim from tree to tree and we lost our tails."

[ETworldjone]

ofcourse we need arguments when u say stupid and non-sensical things. Religion in itself is not and never dangerous. It becomes dangerous when mixed with politics. Its true not only for religion but various things like minorities and so on. religion becomes violent when dubious people use it as a means to their selfish and evil ends. The majority of the followers of religion is peaceful around the world. therefore, people have the right to practice religion and u have no right to stop them.

[ETworldjone]

ChinaLove88, overwhelming of 'overseas' chinese are not religious??? where did u get that dubious information from? secondly, what has that got to do with the people in China who are overwhelmingly religious but stripped off their rights to practice it? thirdly, do u think religious freedom is something that has to be decided by the majority? arent u then discriminating against the monirities then? i mean just because u aint religious doesn't mean others shouldn't be allowed to. u make no sense.

[ETworldjone]

Yes, the British has done evil things and their policies were discriminatory and horrendous in the age of the british empire. Every british know that and that is why they dont even really teach about it in their history lessons!! My only problem is that some of the individuals in the British empire should have been taken to court for crimes against humanity. It did not happen but still that unfortunate past british legacy still embarasses Britain.

[cai888]

Etworldjone: Mao is just a tiny part of Chinas's 5000 yrs history and from speaking to Chinese students and friends. None of them deny Mao's mistakes and admit that his wrongdoings has hurt China. You should know better about our own British history and the proportion of our dark periods to our total years of history far exceeds China. The past is past, nothng can be changed. The right thing to do is for China to concentrate on the future as only the future can be changed.

[ETworldjone]

It is not about chinese people accepting that Mao was wrong. Ofcourse they know he was a villian. But it is the government that has to agree that Mao was evil and his so-called cultural revolution harmed his countrymen. The same applies to the government's crackdown on chinese students in the tianmen square just a decade ago.

[cai888]

Of course the chinese government agrees of his wrong doings.

The rights and wrong doings of Mao is written in China's history books which chinese students read. Also countless chinese historic films were made about Mao and his mistakes. I remember watching one were it shows Mao extremist discrimination the high class and educated. But you have to bear one thing in mind. The japanese invasion was very brutal and it was the communist party that drove them out of China.

[cai888]

Chinese people understand what human rights means, but to date why werent there any secret societies that want to overthrow the current communist gov(secret soc appeared all the time thro out china's history). The answer is becos the people know the good intention of this. UK took 300 years to become democratic when they were prosperous and stable. Now is not the time for China to become fully democratic as the country is no so stable. But they certainly have proved that communist can be prosper

[ETworldjone]

The problem is not with the chinese people cai888, it is with the one-part government of China.Communism is an ideology and it should not be forced onto the people. The people have the right to choose what ideology to follow as long as it doesn't concern anyone else. For instance, millions of chinese people want to practice their religion freely without state interference. As communism is atheistic, the government denies them their basic right. That is one of the reasons why Tibet wants freedom.

[ETworldjone]

[cai888]

I am not stubborn but you have got it all wrong. Firstly, find out what the Japanese did to China and then what the Communist did to save, which in turn made people accept communism and choose this ideology. People have the right to choose right? I really where you get your facts from, I know as I have visted China myself that there is many religions in China. All over China and in people's homes there are religious statutes. You must ahve seen these in restaurants. Go in and ask dont speculate.

[cai888]

For the Chinese people, Tibet is a loved land and information about it is ample. Four million tourists visit Tibet every year. The past five years saw the income of farmers and herdsmen increasing by 83.3 per cent. In 2006 there were more than 1,000 schools, with 500,000 students. In this Autonomous Region, where 92 per cent of the population is Tibetan, there are 1,780 temples, or one for every 1,600 people -- which is more than in England, where there is one church for every 3,125 people.

[ETworldjone]

Again u talk about chinese people when I am talking about the communist government of China. In case of tibet its NOT about chinese people. Its about the tibetan people. Recent protests show their frustration, anger and anguish because of chinese misrule and discimination against them. All they want is freedom to practice their culture and religion WITHOUT state control or interference. Ofcourse there are temples in tibet but the problem is that there is too much chinese govt. interference.

[cai888]

Im talking about the People and teh gov. The additional temples and improvement of Tibet was created by the gov. The media is biased. You are basing your narrow mind idealism from western telly. Try and open your mind and DO some research first. The people that caused riots were exiled Tibetans the very ones that followed the Dalai Lama to india. Did you not know that the dalai lama is funded by the CIA for a reason? Surely you must have come across loads of wrong reporting with picture mismatch

[ETworldjone]

You seem to be like those dubious conspiracy theorists when u say that the dalai lama is funded by the CIA.What evidence other than a stupid speculation u have for such a stupid claim. Exiled tibetans were NOT the only ones who were protesting. Native tibetans participated as well in large numbers. Moreover,why were those tibetans exiled? what right do the chinese have to deny the tibetans to live and act freely in their own territory?that is why democracy is far better than opressive communism.

[dancello]

Then they should ask for reform, but not separation.

[manofadventure]

where de hell did u get the information that they dont hv the freedom to practice their culture?????? nd why u so assertive that a large number tibetans were protesting??? plz dont speak wif ur ignorant nd naive imagination```! u actin like a 8-years-old kid talkin abt politics``! when cai88 stated some facts, nd u calling it conspiracy```!```!`why dont u think that u so believed 'china is a oppressive state' is a conspiracy????

[cai888]

ETworldjone: Beijing alone is bigger than UK. And through out history there were many secret extremist societies that uses weapons and do not hesitate to kill. A country of that size secret societies recruits are in the 00,000's. If Uk was attacked by Iraq, dont tell me they will just stand there and not use force. Secret societies dated bk thousands of years. There objective were political and later became corrupt. To date these so called secret societies evolved and became Triads(unpolitical).

[annakamo]

I don't think any government in the world has the confidence to say they could do a better job than China in managing 1.5 billion people.

[ETworldjone]

oh really??? and do u think the Indian govt. is any less better in governing that much amount of people? anywayz u dont see people crying for having more than one baby in India as in China and u dont see people having to face long term jail sentences for just following a religion other than Maoist communism...LOL!

[cai888]

One child policy was put in force because of the west pressuring the chinese to control their growth. China has 56 enthic groups and the largest of them all is han chinese. 1 child policy only applies to han chinse. Whats the point of having more babies if they only starve to death. Also the single child will have more attention from their parents.

[ETworldjone]

Your claim that one child policy is only targeted at han chinese is untrue. Moreover, the importnat issue here is the way chinese givt. has implemented it. Using force and intriducing fines for having more than one baby is cruel and discriminatory. It is important to educate people and they have the right to take decsions about their family not the government.

[doooooohh]

FUCK CNN NAZI PROPAGANDA SHIT ... THEY ARE GOVERMENT CONTROlLED .... brainwashing every americans.. just look at them..

[kaykaisin08]

It's unfortunate to see such a smart-looking guy like him is sitting there poorly researched while he is being heard by the world; based completely on emotions and nationalisms. It'd be more attractive if his reasons are based outside the box. Millions of Tibetans & thousands of Chinese FalunGong practitioners killed mercilessly by Chinese Government versus a handful of Han Chinese killed in the recent riots in Lhasa, Tibet. His parents must have filled his young brain and has blinded him. Sad.

[cai888]

look again... your message. Where did you get this information? Stupid brainwashed bbc. Do you know why china is protective of tibet for 4000 years and did u know the british used tibet as a crucial entry point when they attacked china? I want to ring u

[adamaglaia]

your comment just proves what he was stating, i am pretty sure you have not done any actual research regarding the killing other than unauthoritative information. no official documents have ever proven the number of people killed as you stated.

[adamaglaia]

i'm afraid you are the sad unfortunate one blinded by general western assumption. and you say he is the one that needs to think 'outside the box'?

[timeesprit]

well done my brother!

annoyed that this is only on bbc world news, should be on more channels

[starangelam]

I have to applause BBC for doing that, finally. Though, I despise their past distorted and biased report!

[119967chado]

CCTV however is always going to be biased and a tool for the Government.

[totaltotala]

well said

[YUEZHANG24]

Agree, Great Job

[qiliqiang]

support Olympic Games, support China, support World peace!

[bridgetowest]

excellent, fully support.

[timeesprit]

well done! thank you! go china!

[FERDINANDDU201]

thank u

[blueshanxi]

Good job.

[wikct2]

I think it is a bit too late to interview a person who can make a fair opion. The damage is already done. All of the riots for the Olympics torch relay are already done. Why BBC, CNN, and all other west media did not explain why they were reporting distorted news. They did that on purposes for sure. Shame on them!!!

[theagent3]

Its good to see some groups challenge the Western Media such as BBC and CNN. They are not the keepers or righteous organizations on how the world is viewed.

[echodoyoga]

Thanks!you jst said what we want to say!

[annewxj]

Appreciate!

[cathypupu]

well done. that's the message we try to deliver, please listen to us. western media, please stop misleading your audiences.

[taeniatrypsin]

Chinese communist party may have made a lot of mistakes in the past,but I don't think any government in the world has the confidence to say they could do a better job than CCP in managing 1.5 billion people.

[CHNyigetc]

absolutely agree!!!

[taeniatrypsin]

Chinese communist party may have made a lot of mistakes in the past,but I don't think any government in the world has the confidence to say they could do a better job than CCP in managing 1.5 billion people.

[taeniatrypsin]

True.They should at least listen to what the ordinary Chinese think!!It is time for them to drop cold war mentality.They cannot afford to have another cold war with China!

[taeniatrypsin]

Good work.

[smilingholland]

This is what we are fighting for, we deserve to let the world hear our voices. Maybe many of western people don't understand why we held this silent demonstration againt biased media like BBC and CNN, because if we do not do it in this way, BBC will never let us speak out the truth and continue to fool their people and this will do nothing helpful to diminish the prejudice and hostility between westerners and chineses.

[karzetsultrim]

@smilingholland if he was fighting for freedom in china why this fucking dick head Communist party`s puppy fight for those thousands of students killed in Tainamien square in 1989 ? do these dick head brainwashed and retard students have some real human brain to learn about how communist party kill ordinary people in China ?

[onelove4allppl2]

@karzetsultrim

ey man ur the one that's brainwashed and too ignorant to realize it. u no cuz of the russian us tension in the past the us implemented various ways of getting the "hate commies" message to the ppl so they can manipulate our support... shouldve paid attention in u.s. history

douchebag

[karzetsultrim]

if u want to know, i am a Tibetan,born in Tibet and grown up in Tibet! the only bread i got was from my parents hard work! we got a single penny from China! instead we had to pay every year grain taxes after harvesting in autumn! china moved millions of Chinese in Tibet that jeopardize the very existence of Tibetans ! all high ranking posts are held by Chinese that downgrade our dignity as equal citizen ! fuck that communists !
