I beleive in China's virtues of harsh oppresion, strict censhorship, human rights violation, lead ridden products and blind,ignorant faith in my adopted country China. How dare you sir accuse me of being unpatriotic for China, Ill have you know I clubbed and oppressed a Tibetan monk on my way to work today and provided weapons to the Sudanese government. What have you done flying, or monseiur flyingbug

  • hahahaha! you son of bitch!

  • bug

    Paris can't even run a safe torchy relay ,dont even talk about bidding a olympic...lol

    British and French you need to take care of your own country and not interfere other's business. Your countries conquered many other countries -- you're no better.

  • Damn Tibet, the seemingly brutal occupation of that country is completely justified, and Ill tell you why. Tibet has weapons of mass destructions, yes that's right I said it, its the truth, Chinese intellegience indicates Tibet acquired yellow cake or rice, forgot, from Nazi Germany and was in the midst of devloping nuclear missles fired from huge slingshots. Not just that but Tibetans mercislessy slaughter a herd of yaks just because they were ethnicly different, but mostly hungry. Free China??

    Why do the Chinese still want to continue this disgraceful and ridiculous torch relay?

  • 台灣國支持偉大的西藏人民。

    支那共產人渣在中國連個屁都不敢放,

    到了自由國家除了喜丟人現眼講一些人不合邏輯的話,

    和幹一些見不得人的事,實在是比廚餘還沒有貢獻。

    共產人渣比癈渣還沒剩餘價值,滾回獨栽家園吧。

    Communists go back to hell, don't come to earth.

  • if you wanna smear china with your negative reports and opinions about china, using tibet and even sudan as excuses for your attacks, then go for it, it wont benefit anyone especially not yourselves nor the tibetans, but realise this: we chinese wont just sit back and tolerate it. Im not talking in military terms, our economic power will be enough to buy America 10 times over in a couple of years.

  • les gauchos de france feraient mieux de garder leur energie pour defendre l identité Française au lieu de se "battre "pour une monarchie religieuse a 12 milles kms d ici(ce qu ils commbattent en France:le Royalisme et le Catholicisme...)

    bien sur,aucun gauchiste ne prendra le risque de s attaquer a l islamisme qui gangrene nos quartiers et nos villes et a la racaille afro/maghrebine qui sevit dans nos rues chaque jours...

  • have you ever read history?just read more and then think

  • We will NEVER forgive what you did for Olympic torch. We DON"T welcome these kinds of thugs to come to our country. I can tell you, if you guys dare to come to China and show the funny Tibet flag, you will be erased by our angry citizens, we don't need bother Police to take care of you.

  • ilovechina2008- i will personally blindfold you with my shoelaces.and make u lepeat the retters :R and L many many times until your slitty eyes get zonked and cross eyed.LOL Free Tibet! Free Uighurs! No More Pirated DVDs!

  • We will NEVER forgot what you guys did to humiliating 1.3 billion Chinese people's wisdom, the human right to have a peaceful Olympic Game, the dream we had for one century, while in this century, our Chinese peoples were massacred by European Armies, Japanese Army, American Army, killed our peoples, raped our ladies, robbed our treasures, any of you know this history?

  • Shut up, stick to ping pong...

  • Thanks for the "good" treat in UK and France for Bei Jing Olympic torch, Now I feel these peoples are so naive, speak their voice without knowing the history of Tibet and China, you guys' behavior humiliated 1.3 billion Chinese peoples who lives in China, also the Chinese people live in other countries all over the world. Due to your effort, Chinese peoples are united more tightly than whenever before to protect and support our Country,

  • CHINESE=Daemon

  • pity french, they don't aware what they have done on screen. you just remind the world you are losers & self-pity guys. no one like chinese like you or want to do business with you. show respect to other country is no. 1 impoetance even you don't agree with some of their rules.

  • Is it respectful not to try to help the Chinese and the Tibetans ?

    As a human being, I do feel linked to the Chinese and the Tibetans, and I hope democracy for them.

    Good friends can have different views and still respect each other, can't they ?

  • Chinese go to moon pls. only people have human right could stay on the earth.

  • Tibet WAS,IS,and ALWAYS WILL BE a part of China

    Taiwan,too

    抵制法国,抵制一切法国贸易!!!!!让我们团结起来,让他们知­道与中国对抗,与中国人民对抗后果是严重的!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • hy are there British who own land all of the World...It sure isn't because of there smiling faces.China should learn from the British in how to conquer the World then complain about other country's human rights abuse...The British and Americans have the know how about using the Media,non-profit org.(corrupt),people just like to complain...Isn't it interesting the Media and everyone else aren't talking about Iraq as important anymore.

  • To ppl who cry out "free Tibet": If you never been to Tibet or not even know where is Tibet, take some time to listen to ppl who have been there. Check "TIBET DIARY" on youtube,please.

  • In old Tibet before 1950, 88 percent of Tibeten people were born as slaves. Slaves didn't belong to themselves, they belong to their slave masters who occupied 5% of Tibeten population at that time. Slaves could be sold,bought,abused at the will of their masters!

    I admire Lincoln,the greatest former US president because he abolished the slave system in Southern America. Lincoln is always the hero in my heart.

  • lincoln did not go to war to end slavery.

  • Lincoln abolishing the slave system was the direct reason for the American Civil War during 1864-1868.

    Chairman Mao abolishing the slave system in old Tibet was the very reason that Dalai was exiled.

  • "My paramount objective is to save the union, and it is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could free the union without freeing any slave, i would do it." - Abraham Lincoln

  • sorry "if i could save the union without freeing any slave" not free the union.

  • All in all, Lincoln abolished the slave system and this is why I salute him. And this is why I don't like Dalai, he is the formal big slave master in the old Tibet.

  • you don't like the lama for being an old salve master but support the chinese who are all bred willing slaves, with triad as their masters. if china cant be free no one can is that your crazy chinese logic? makes alot of sense. you also dont know about lincoln or the reasons for war but know the lama was a slave master? you are very misinformed. lincoln abolishing slavery was a side effect of the civil war. the civil war was fought for the same reasons the tibetans are rioting now.

  • the snale sucking horse eating frogs use the polynesia island as a Atomic testin site this enabled France to keep the nuclear clout it needed to remain one of the world's leading powers.the polynesian islanders are sick of these rich frog coming to their island and screw their children and demand INDPENANCE from these white trash sickos.

  • french bitch's laughing.

    France is just a second-rate country masturbating in its old empire dreams.

  • Ha yea? a second rate country that sells you so much technology (Airbus, Veolia, Areva...) and wield so much more political influence than your stinky China shit hole...

  • Suffer your unpopularity CHINA !! You can't censure the media outside of your borders. This is the opportunity to peer into the Chinese government true character. You blew it, but that might have been the plan all along.

  • Chinese people, open your eyes! Who are your enemies? Will you still buy their goods when they shit on your heads?

  • CHina IS evil,agreed. They are like,70 years behind the west politically and socially. The government are power and money hungry pigs

  • have any of those ppl who were waving Tibet flag and yelling free Tibet ever been to Tibet or even China? do any of them really care about Tibetan? I doubt. Probably those ppl were just having a party there or trying to making some fun out of the whole event of embarrassment to other country as their own country is no more fun?

  • China is determined to be the next Superpower. French people, instead of envy and useless curse, please wise up and accept the truth.

  • American lobby is behind in the disruption of torch rallies ..... just to cover-up their genocide in Iraq n their internal economic woes

  • CHINA IS PURE EVIL! I bet they use HUMANs for protein. They're probably coming to take over YOUR FORECLOSED HOMES! AND TAKE OVER YOUR WOMEN! TOO MANY CHINESE MEN ratio to women!! THINK ABOUT IT!

  • China will expect a glorious welcome in my homeland, Malaysia.Many more, i promise. "FLAME OF OLYMPIC" die in France, tell pretty much how great France is? Well when 7 nation kill millions of Chinese in the past, now they up keep "human right". Ironic huh..... Not like anyone will expecting apologies. Did the killing stop there ? See Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Possibly but hopefully not Iran.

  • watch?v=1K6gUYyvH5o

    Even disabled athlete had to suffer just because she's a Chinese person. Where's the human rights that you guys value a lot?

  • Look at how the French treated that poor disabled athlete. Just because she's Chinese so she had to suffer the trauma.

  • The only government that treat Chinese-looking people as human is the Communist, so you really shouldn't try to put off the Olympic flame in Hong Kong. I hate communist too but the West treat us too bad.

  • Want to get that torch through France? Get a German to run it through. They'll roll out the red carpet like the good ole days.

  • Here's the REAL TRUTH of Tibet. Study history, not the media.

    watch video

    watch?v=Xsoc4-QnplY

  • Shame on Paris! Shame on the disgusting Tibetans. You western guys are blinded by your predudice, racism and hatred. You western world are promoting a civilization war with China. Just because you are feared to be left behind by the rising China. Wake up, western people, show your guts to compete with Chinese through your hard work but not by demonizing other people and nation!

  • it has nothing to do with that, the people are pissed how oppressive china is a has no human rights, everyone wants Tibet to be free. but obviously the Chinese are prejudice and want to control the Tibetans.

  • fewnd... There is so much politics involved with the Olympics including the multimillions of dollars used to promote each country (politics) and the commercial venues..Today anything involving more than two or three countries you will find some politics involved

    lets not be naive....

  • the cause of it is because many people don't want the games to be held in an oppressive country like China, i have no problems with china, but what they are doing by keeping control of Tibet and not freeing it and giving the Tibetans no human rights, is whats wrong. that is what the whole protest about.

  • yeah !! remember 1936!! lets give em some pressure!!

  • pauvres chinois, totalement laver du cerveau , totalement conditionés ça me fait de la peine

    poor chinese totaly brainwatched, conditioned, pityfull

  • It is inappropriate to link Olympic to politics,any link shows the ignorance and about the international olympic spirit and the idiot about the politics

  • It is also inappropriate to repress an entire people, but let's not let that get in the way of having a good time, eh???

  • china and ioc: partners in crime

  • オリンピックをボイコットするべきだよ。

    ここまでやるなら。

  • The Chinese propaganda on this is astounding...

    SUPPORT PEACEFUL PROTEST - SUPPORT TIBET - FREE TIBET!!!

  • Go, China, Go

  • re: isitreallyhim

    "human right" doesn't mean you can yelling around like a mob.

    Today's issues of Tibet and Tibet's history are more complex than you think. Things gona be easier If 100 years ago, there was no western invader involed in Tibet.

  • do chinese like you? the guys protesting for "China Human Rights". So ironic.

  • I am proud to be French, Chinese government must have put out the flame in Paris....

    soon it is the ditature which we shall put out

  • Don't call this event mere "human-rights abuse"!

    What's going on in TIBET?

    The number of Tibetan victims of China's atrocities reaches 1.28 million since China invaded TIBET in 1951. China plans to annihilate TIBETANS from the earth systematically.

    This should be called GENOCIDE for the purpose of "ethnic cleansing of TIBETANS"! China plans to commit TIBETAN GENOCIDE and China has been carrying out "ethnic cleansing" plan in barbarous fashion actually.

  • How about Europeans' native american GENOCIDE? Think things deeper! Worry about your ow country and your own problem first!

  • yes, americans have apologized for their genocide and they gave territories self administrated to the native americans. China will follox this exemple for sure (...)? no? (i precise that i'm not american and that i've nothing against china and chinese)

  • "apologized"? they don't want apologize, they want their land, they want their beloved one alive!

    "they gave territories self administrated to the native americans" Oh~ how merciful it is.... The whole NA land is their territory!

    Chinese government of course won't do the same thing. Ask most Tibetan in China. Do they hate government or not? No!

  • To Meteor I see cut and paste works well for you.. use your own words. Come with me next time to bring children out of China who have been left on road sides.  Upon receiving the children they are in a drugged languid state. Yes how many times have you been there.. People pay 20,000 american Dollars for the children. As a former medical officer with MSF and as far back as the Cypriot conflictin 72 China has been the most difficult in assisting those who need it the most... their own people.

  • To Kennbard1,Yes, I copy and paste work which have been well done by other researchers, because I cannot find anything better as long as they state the facts. China is a developing and not wealthy country. What you have pointed is not just existed in Tibet but in other poor regions in China. I never denied the fact a lot of things need to be improved in China not only in Tibet but also in other regions in China. But it is not the reason you win the tears for Tibetian independence.

  • I don't know if you were from Hong Kong. Since we Hong Kong people look Chinese, Westerner will you Chinks anyway. It doesn't matter whether you are pro or anti the communist, in the eyes of the Westerner, you're always the stinky Chinese communist because of our Chinese looking.

  • I send salaam in country France that values human rights. I love France!!

  • China is the worst place to host the OLYMPICS

  • 1 Q: WHO ARE RAPING Olympic Game???

    A: free Tibet and their supporters.

    2 Q: Who snatched the Olympic Torch?

    A: free Tibet and their suppoters.

    3 Q: Who killed the young girls on 14th, Mar.?

    A: free Tibet and their suppoters.

  •  Taishanliang peuple chinois, de la France en Chine a été très bon, très positive. Mais comment sont-ils la publicité de notre pays? En l'absence de tout dans les circonstances, pourrait en fait utilisé de faux moyens de calomnier eux comme un ami de leur pays. La raison pour laquelle ils sont si nombreux spontanément, les étudiants sont descendus dans la rue, mais aussi parce qu'ils ne sont trop excessifs.

  • We can tolerate your prejudices, you can tolerate the selective blindness, and even you can tolerate the unjust comment, but we can not tolerate you create fake evidence to deceive the people. Fake photographs, leave the translation of fake video, you have this ancient slander a moderate country, and how can be used to flaunt their own civilization?

  • Chinese people Taishanliang, France in China has been very good, very positive publicity. But how are they publicity our country? In the absence of any under the circumstances, could actually used false means to slander them as a friend of their country. The reason why there are so many of the students spontaneously took to the streets, but also because they really do too excessive.

  • aw shut the fuck up please, you dont know what you're talking about you dumbass, china will pay for everything they did to tibetans, just like america will pay for everything they did to iraqis, that's right, you cannot kill inncoent people and run away with it.

  • France is indeed a country that values human rights. I respect a courageous French who obstructed the torch relay. Torture and the slaughter are being done to the Tibet people by a Chinese government in Tibet now. The Tibet people woman is getting the rape done by Chinese. The Olympics must be a festival of peace. China today doesn't have the qualification of holding. I say, does the democratic nation United States disregard man's life for money?

  • How much enough go to Tibet take a trip once?

  • Please explain the following facts: 1st.all Tibetan families permitted to have up to three children, and when other area of China allow only one? 2nd. the population of Tibet in 1959 was only about 1.19 million. Today however, the population is 6 million. 3th. The census revealed that the Tibetan's average lifespan has increased to 68 due to the improving standard of living and access to medical services." In 1950 the average lifespan was only 35.

  • This is not about Tibet!!! This is about opening for the Olympic games! Let the foreign journalist go there, do their job, film and talk to different people! This what matters for Human rights, for the world and for the Chinese people: more information, more contacts, more exchange of opinion, more ideas. This is for the future of CHINA! and for the world too!

  • To Meteor 1511

    Chinese are encouraged to have only one if they have more they pay hefty fines and taxes, Why do you think the state orphanages are over loaded with ten's of thousands of children mostly girls. The reason why the population has exploded is because China moved hundred of thousands into the area. Your last statements are issued by the Chinese government trying to prove by them moving into the area they have improved quality of life ....NOT.

  • To Kennbard1

    My statements was from result of independent researchers. As Barry Sautman, who is Associate Professor of Social Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology points out in his study on [i]Tibet and the (Mis-)Representation of Cultural Genocide[/i], "the state sponsored transfer [of Han Chinese] to Tibet is on a small scale. From 1994 to 2001 the PRC organized only a few thousand people to go to Tibet as cadres. Most serve only 3 years and then return to China.

  • Still to Kennbard1

    These facts are supported by articles in the [i]Columbia Journal of Asian Law[/i] and by an Australian Chinese demographer in [i]Asian Ethnicity[/i][i] in 2000[/i], and show that the claims of ethnic swamping in Tibet are misleading."What I think these articles show,"says Barry Sautman,"is that there is no evidence of significant population losses over the whole period from the 1950s to the resent. There are no bases at all for the figures used regularly by the exile groups.

  • To Kennbard1

    In fact, as Michael Parenti has pointed out in his article on [i]Friendly Feudalism: the Tibet Myth[/i], "both the Dalai Lama and his advisor and youngest brother, Tendzin Choegyal, claimed that 'more than 1.2 million Tibetans are dead as a result of the Chinese occupation.' But the official 1953 census - six years before the Chinese crackdown -recorded the entire population residing in Tibet at 1,274,000.33 Maximum 2 million. continue....

  • To Kennbard1

    (continue..)If the Chinese killed 1.2 million in the early 1960s then whole cities and the countryside, indeed almost all of Tibet, would have been depopulated.transformed into a killing field dotted with death camps and mass graves - of which we have not seen evidence. The thinly distributed Chinese military force in Tibet was not big enough to round up, hunt down, and exterminate that many people even if it had spent all its time doing nothing else

  • To meteor

    Yes the University of California and Hong Kong University provided generous grants to Berkeley Prof. Barry Sautman and Prof. Yan Hairong who used participants from mainland China, who were academics, businessmen and businesswomen to acquire their information to support their paper. No Tibetans were involved in their findings. Several learned educators stated his findings were weak and full of half-truths and innuendos an has chosen to write this nonsense for personal advancement

  • To kennbard1

    Tyler Denison reached similar conclusions in his study, titled [i]Reaffirmation of 'Ritual Cosmos': Tibetan Perceptions of Landscape and Socio-Economic Development in Southwest China[/i], published quite recently in the Spring 2006 edition of the [i]University of New Hampshire Undergraduate Research Journal[/i].(continue..)

  • To Kennbard1,

    (continue...)

    "Rather than finding Tibetan tradition being destroyed by Chinese rule and the influx of people, goods and ideas from the modern world," concludes Denison, "I witnessed firsthand the importance of Kawa Karpo and the ritual cosmos in the lives of the Tibetans of Deqin county:

  • To Kennbard1,

    it has not been diminished. Tibetans' enduring perception of the landscape as a ritual cosmos cannot be termed a static reality of tradition, but more a dynamic cultural process, as they are continually renegotiating and redefining their beliefs in light of new social and economic realities."

  • To Kennbard 1

    But let us not romanticise the life of Tibetans prior to the invasion either. As Michael Parenti (and many others like Leigh Feigon, in his book [i]Demystifying Tibet[/i]) has documented, Tibet "was a retrograde theocracy of serfdom and poverty, where a favoured few lived high and mighty off the blood, sweat, and tears of the many. It was a long way from Shangri-La." (continue..)

  • To Kennbard 1

    And "whatever wrongs and new oppressions introduced by the Chinese in Tibet, after 1959 they did abolish slavery and the serfdom system of unpaid labour, and put an end to floggings, mutilations, and amputations as a form of criminal punishment. They eliminated the many crushing taxes, started work projects, and greatly reduced unemployment and beggary.

  • End Nazi-China.

  • Free Burma, Darfur and Tibet from all the bad things that the chinese communist party does.

  • i wonder if china is really changing in its essence. I mean, it changes above all economically. But Economy is not Politics. Apparently, capitalism goes quite well with communist rule. But isn't it weird that people of china seem to be the slaves of this economy and this rule. They are simply not able and not allowed to think themselves. This huge economical progress is handled by an elite. Is there actually a middle class that shows engagement for business and society and thus responsibility?

  • Yes, long live China! But, down with the communist party of China. Freedom and human rights for Chinese and Tibetan

    San Francisco is next. It will put London and Paris to shame. You have never seen a protest until you have seen a San Francisco Protest.

    San Francisco did not wait for the torch to arrive. Already today, Monday, the demonstrations have begun in San Francisco. San Francisco has a HUGE Chinatown. Be interesting to see which side the Chinese population choose.

    Already there have been arrests, and people took a HUGE banner up the Golden Gate Bridge.
