  • fuck the red flagsssssssss free tibet

  • I am so surprised that they made it before police came.

  • Free Alaska man. Sarah Palin don't want no Alaska to be another stinky state.

  • I am not from your country killevilness and your are right your are and getting more and more a state witch has a big meaning in the world politic.

    But why do think is this an excuse for killing thousand of Tibetans.

    I read about chinas history, also Germans and other countrys were killing in your country thousand of peoples 110 years back because they didn't behave the way they wanted. Because they didn't feel the way the foreigners could order them. Why do Tibetans fight?

    lets talk not fight

  • americans need to mind their own buisness especially when in other people's country

  • Human right for 1 million Iraqis innocent death !

  • Free Iraq !

    Stop torture in Gunatanamo prison !

  • now that the games are over, no one gives a shit about this 'free tibet' shit, good thing actually 'cause these idiots were bloody annoying the hell out of me

  • I come from China. The Government has been deceiving the people. Embargo freedom of speech, blocking the network. Mask the truth.

  • Those people really need to search for a life.. So lame and pathetic.

    Tibet was, is and will always be a part of China. If you don't like it, then stfu and seperate your own country. :)

  • These people should be thanking the Chinese security guards for protecting them. Fking idiots, without the guards, they would have been lynched by the angry mob.

    I recognize that lady with red hair in the middle. She was in another video (empire state building honors China).

    Bunch of no life freaks truly have too much time at hands. Their worthless existance is based on lies and deceits. And the hippies try to make justify their lives by having a greater cause. A cause based on lies.

  • do these people have better things to do...like wow...

  • Fuck you and eveybody else

    Tibet is a province of China

    just like the U,S  took over San diago from Mexico many years ago

  • Free Tibet From CCP Genocide

  • hahahahahahaha  idiot

  • fuking china is fulllll of plain clothes n fukin stupit asssholes with the special department called CHinese propaganda department.....

    CHINA REALLY SUCKKSSSSSSSSSS

    FUKKKK CHINA

    FREEE TIBET>>>>>

    MAY PEACE B BACK SOON TO TIBET

  • FUCK TIBET. GO CHINA! I went to China 5 TIMES, loved every moment of it. hate the US, hate the west, US and West SUCK! KILL TIBETANS. CHINA THE BEST COUNTRY I'VE BEEN TO.

  • FUCK AMERIKKKA. Crap cuntry

  • it is so funny to see that the reporter says those crowds are plain police even though he knows they are not

  • FREE SCOTLAND!

  • no offence. but they just look like idiots.

  • kennethyeah: NO, THEY ARE IDIOTS.

  • free tibet

  • Go home to ask for a piece of bread. Whole world economic downfall, these nonsense continue to ask for freedom. Tell you, some people even don't know where is tibet. Your ancestors did not know what is human right when they conquered others' territories, and you people suddenly ask for freedom and human right. Shall you give back the places of land to local residents?

  • tamyk007: Actually, the downfall of the Tibet independence exiles is from Uncle Sambo going BROKE. In 2008, U.S. funding for Tibetan exiles is down to US$ 450,000 a year, which is just enough to buy each Lama one roll of toilet paper. In 2009, expect that to slow to a trickle. NO MONEY.

  • Expect to see the Lamas deciding to SURRENDER to the Chinese authorities on their Nov. 17th week meeting.

  • FYI, tibet wont be freed, and happy to see ur guys being washed away by Chinese around! get ur white ass out of china.

    Free Hawaii!

  • idiots. why dont they worry about their probs. stupid americans

  • @vegifish i guess you have never heard about social behavior!!!!!!!!!!

  • those ppl r stupid... free tibet? tibetans r chinese too! since thousands of years ago, these white ppl got all these propaganda from CNN...

  • Attention Protesters: Thanks for coming to Beijing to help grow China's Foreign Currency Reserve to US$ 2 TRILLION this year. Now Go Home, MORONS!

  • The best part of the video is 1:44 where "zebra boy" got wacked in the head by a water bottle thrown by the angry Chinese crowd. Without the police there to protect them, a Chinese mob would have beaten the living crap out of these idiots.

    "Cindy Lauper" in the video should have saved her "Dying for Freedom" speech for the 1,000,000 dead Iraqi civilians, compliments of her own country.

  • Why don't these idiots do this in Baghdad? See what the locals will do to them.

  • no i think chinese rather want a stronger china than a weak china lead by u weak nonviolent protestors. and srry tibet is ours and security is necessary.

  • if I were there,i'll kill U,asshole!

  • if i were there i must have attacked those uncivilised and brainwashed people who tried to attack on FREE TIBET ACTIVISTS! THESE ACTIVISTS DONE A GREAT JOB! FREE TIBET! NOW I REALLY KNOW ITS A CHALLANGE FOR WE TIBETANS ALL OVER THE WORLD!

    WE NEVER GIVE UP! FREE TIBET

  • I pity you.

  • It's great to hear those air heads finally got jailed for 10 days instead of just a relaxing deportation. Or is it the same group of air heads? Finally chinese government got some guts! As the end of olympics approaching and the pretty burden being off the shoulder, it would be interesting to see what actions will the chinese government take to deal with the free-tibet clowns. Been waiting for it since March. Come on, let's see some Putin in China.

  • ITS VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS! U THE BRAINWASHED PEOPLE SHOULD GET OUT OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES.SO U WILL COME IN CHINA AND SUFFER FROM CCP!

    fuck u china!

    FREE TIBET!

  • 感谢上帝只给了这些人·这些·自由......

  • Luckily, these bums are now in Chinese JAILS. Unfortunately, only locked away for 10 days, instead of 10 years with hard labor.

  • Tiananmen? Many of those Chinese students who were there in 1989 are now senior management of Chinese corporations. They've moved on, like the rest of China. Have YOU?

    Where's the "Free Hawaii" protest?

  • This idiots should be glad the MOB of Chinese citizens did not beat the living crap out of them.

    By going to China to do this, the only thing they've accomplished is to add to China's Foreign Currency Reserve of US$ 2 TRILLION.

    Thanks, MORONS.

  • Wow....must be comforing for the CCP to see that it doesn't need to send PSB idiots anymore to knock off "illegal, subversive" protests because the "patriotic", common Mainland-Chinese people, blinded due to decade-long anti-Dalai-Lama-propaganda, is about to take over this job...

  • the crowd stood there probably because they don't know what you are protesting on...if you do it in Chinese...the crowd would probably leave couple bruises on your body.

  • Ya, plenty of gold and silver being handed out. However, most of it was more than likely looted from Tibet in the first place.

  • the medals are made in Britain...you are taking this too far.

  • Not really. Minerals have been looted from Tibet for years even by the British. Recently China and Britain made a deal to do even more serious mining in Tibet in a joint project. The reason why China is in Tibet is for resources, end of story. Gold, sliver, borax, copper, uranium, lumber, water, even oil and gas.

  • REALLY!!! haha...didn't know that...ironic isn't it??? the same british people who protest China are also doing the it...show how hypcrotic they are. maybe you should also protest Britian...in fact, I'll even support you guys on that.

  • It's not about one group vs. another. It's about humanity as a whole. People put money before heart, morality and basic human kindness.

  • who says I'm not about humanity...but I already debated this with many pro-tibetan supporters...I don't want to go into that with you. I just don't support Tibet because they are just using humanity as an excuse.

    For more info, check out my own Youtube page.

  • I don't want to debate with you either. Tibetans do not need an excuse to want their freedom and their own sacred homeland back. It's their inherent right. Of course, people only care when it's happening to them. They look away, look away, and then suddenly the issue is at their front door and it's too late to look away any longer.

  • look, all I'm saying is that you don't know the whole truth and that's fine...but at least give a fair protest...don't just protest China...there are human rights problems every where.

  • The reality is obvious when you're in Tibet. All you have to do is talk to a wide variety of Tibetans and to see what's happening in Tibet. Renaming of streets in Chinese, massive influx of Han-Chinese, building of monuments to promote lies about Tibet's history, not to mention the exploitation and unchecked rape of Tibet's natural resources. Listen, I'm all for human rights for Chinese just as much as Tibetans.

  • How about donating money to your local homeless shelter or start help bring aids medication to Africa...frankly, that airplane ticket you paid to get to China in order to make your "point" which by the way in reality isn't going to change much...could in fact pay for 10 year education to a kid in third world country. go ahead, talk the talk...but the rest of us are actually doing something more meaningful.

  • How about asking before arriving at conclusions. I already donate money and time to local charities. I also donate time and money to various other causes including those in Africa. I also sponsor several children as far as their education goes. I also love Tibet, I love my Tibetan brothers and sisters. I won't apologize for that! I won't apologize for rejecting the Chinese invasion, occupation, torture of Tibetans, murder, false imprisonment, etc.

  • Dude, you live in United States...you don't know the truth...just because your formal slave-owning ancestor got kicked out of Tibet doesn't make it inhuman, cause you know what, you deserve it.

    Plus, how do I know you are telling the truth about the charities works you did???

  • Dude, I know what I've seen with my own eyes. I know what my family, friends and acquaintances have gone through. Direct observation is more reliable that mindless propaganda. And you don't have to believe anything I say. Believe it or not I don't exist to prove anything to you. I know who I am and I know what I do.

  • look, it's fine...I'm not here to prove anything to you...if I were you, I would side with my family whether they are right or wrong. all I'm saying is that there are 2 sides of story to everything. I have been to Tibet, my grandma went to Tibet when it was first liberated...I admire your royalis to your race and religion, but right is right and wrong is wrong.

  • Yes, right is right and wrong is wrong and of course, there are degrees of right and wrong. Unprovoked invasion is wrong, occupation is wrong, torture wrong, murder wrong, false imprisonment wrong, looting and stealing wrong, destruction of sacred monasteries by the thousands, wrong, burning ancient scriptures, wrong, destruction of ancient sacred artifacts, wrong, destruction of another's culture, wrong, pointing to others to rationalize ones own actions, wrong!

  • I WAS BORN IN TIBET AND I DIDN'T GET ANY EDUCATION FROM CHINA AS THEY CLAIM IN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.i was born in unpreviliged farmer family in eastern tibet!i never got any benefits from CCP.some ppl say that we dont have to pay tax.thats totally ur brainwashed notion as i clearly remember that each year after harvest we have to give more than 500kgs barley,peas and wheat as tax while CCP dont sanction any basic nessicities like clinics,schools,electricity and bridges in rural areas of tibet

  • karzetsultrim: That was a long time ago. You should go visit Tibet again and then compare with the infrastructure in Nepal next door. Agriculture taxes were canceled all over China 2 years ago.

  • first of all, that was a really randome response...but I believe you...however you should also know that what you just describe is the situation of every person in China who is still under poverty. It really has nothing to do with your ethnicity. I know a lot of people who are in your situation in China and they are hans...that is why China is still called developing nation.

  • google2com: Yes, he should check out the situation next door in Nepal, where the per capita income is US$ 300 / year.

    The only way out of poverty is economic development, not some separatist movement to throw the whole area into chaos and sink further into poverty.

  • tough luck dude, the US claimed to make Iraq better, look at wat happend to that. Too bad lol sometimes shit happens

  • the beijing olympics is a nightmare to all the ugly tibetan exiles and their stinky western supporters, like a sword stabbing into their dirty hearts!!

    china is getting more and more gold medals, stupid china haters, can u sleep well at night now??

  • Yes there are protest areas. Strangely not one protest has taken place in them and people who apply to protest mysteriously vanish. In such a repressive atmosphere, I expect people have already stopped bothering to apply.

  • Right, gave a speech in Tiananmen using English. Who were they talking to,Uncle Sam?

    Seems none of them know how to speak Chinese, let alone Tibetan...AND these losers keep chanting how they LOVE Tibet.

  • I just don't understand these people, they act like as if only Tibetans are suppressed in China. Falun Gong members have it 1000x worse than any Tibetan just because they had a silent protest while the Tibetan protests (violent) earlier this year wasn't met with as harsh punishment. Please, any Tibet activists out there can you explain to me why you act as if Tibet is the only suppressed area on Earth? This is probably the main reason why some Chinese resent you guys.

  • haha stupid,seriously if you really care about showing chinese ppl the truth, shouldn't you try to learn chinese first? and communite to them in a language that they understand? this video clip again just shows now ignorant the so call zang du are.

    oh and next time be a little bit gutsy, you are fighting for the "truth" aren't you?

  • stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!! learn the truth first!!!!

  • Oh so you protesting was peaceful and Chinese people who were mad at you were mob?! You were on their land, crashing their party. If you wanna really protest, go to Tibet, where it actually is relevant.

  • my dear friends,free your head

  • They should try protesting in NYC or DC without applying for a license. Stupid and ignorant students.

    Bottles are no good, guys. Try tomatoes and eggs next time!

  • oh no, its not worth throwing tomatoes or eggs which cost some money!

  • "The group's founder John Hocevar says non-violent protests will continue in China."

    and chinese people will continue to throw bottles on u little John wherever u r.

  • Hey, when you propagand in other country, you'd better learn the language.

    humm...perhaps you just want to make a show at Tiananmen Square?

  • Why don't these westerns submit application for the protest? China has the same rule for protest as USA. If they cannot do thing legally in China, what they can do? Do they think they are westerns so they can do whatever they want in China as 60-70 years ago?  I don't believe so.

  • What a lame protest! Please say Chinese in China if you really intend to let people understand you. But I am sure if you dare to say Chinese, you will see the real interest from people. Do you dare? Hohoho. Shame on your lame and hypocrite westerns.

  • you guys so stupid!

    you knew what is tibet?you knew what is free?

    you want to we have some blood just for your fun?

    did you ever go tibet to have a look ?

    if never.shut fuck up and eat some shit in your country!

  • I wish I was in Tiananmen Square, then I will throw tons of bottles to you!!! I will explain what you guys was talking about. If Chinese people is still quiet, then you are definitely dreaming!!!

  • the best way to free tibetan people for you guys is to visit tibet and see what real tibetan need at their homeland, rather than listen to some so called"tibetan"s who have left tibet over 20 years.

  • These idiots thought people around them were "not hostile" ? That is just because they do not understand chinese at all!

  • they are all absolutely idots. You can also say 'free american'&'free german'

  • die-in! haha! you people are getting dangerously close to get your asses busted. too bad the chinese security are protecting your asses. how do i know, listen to the mandarin.

  • Why don't you free iraq first? Oh, wait a minute, you ARE freeing Iraq right now. If you really care about Tibetian people, go to work in Tibet, and talk to the locals, not the lying Dalai and his followers in the west.

  • WAH!!! Chinese are so friendly. I would personally beat up these five idiots there they were in my country.

  • I'm pissed off. Why there are so many student for XXXX organizations?

    Why there is no "student for not watching too much fox news" organization?

  • idiot americans

    why didn't shout free Iraq?

  • These people are both brain defective and lucky. Had I been there, they must be lying there forever!

  • We've just been told that this video is being blocked and it's impossible to watch it in Beijing.

  • I feel shameful for you and your friends. You acted stupidly just to feel good about YOURSELVES!!!!!

  • Good. Gov is protecting people from viewing shit.

  • I'm watching it from beijing right now... don't spread lies..

    you are brainwashed by those who "told" you...

    Wake up!!!

  • Chinese should've beaten their shit out. See them once, beat them once.

  • In such a big world, it's not unusually to see someone who worship stupidity. So, don't worry about other people's comments, be your way!

  • I think most of you are still young and if you want, you can learn something. Otherwise, most of you will just end up being shameless, hopeless, homeless, jobless, familyless losers!

    BTW, you have picked up the most useless weapon, lie.

  • Dear members in Student for tibet, darfur, or whatsoever, please response my post.

    I need an explanation that it seems for me none of you know there is a place called Iraq. Could any of you tell me what you had done to truly help these poor Iraqis except torturing, raping, and killing. Or, come on, give me a break by admitting that you just for that few bucks paid by CIA or Pentagon.

  • Younger generation speak out...open your eyes! You Assshit!

  • Stupid western assholes....

  • The luckiest thing is that these protesters perform in English. If they speak Chinese at that time instead, they could not be able to leave without beat. Most Chinese could not understand English, but they hate the people who wants to separate their home country. That's why at the beginning they do not response, and later when they understand what these stupid guys are saying, they come up to beat them.

    Take care, stupid "FREEDOM" protesters. Remember, the God does not save stupid men:)

  • Lucky u. Those young Chinese students not come earlier when u assholes lying there!

  • Poor homeless stupid losers! pan-handler even do not need these CIA money.

    Free Iraq!

  • People like that 5 idiots give a negative image for the concept of FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY (or DemoCrazy), which could have otherwise be applauded in china. Sad that the wondeful core value of western civilization has been distored like that by those retards.

  • I was wondering how did the founder of "student for free-to-bed" get the chinese visa. Was it a mistake from the chinese consulate? But after watching this video, I got it. It's a set-up to "educate" those air heads on their own expense, while offering chinese people a free lesson on the true face of western freedom fighters with their self-ridiculing protest. Believe me, those chinese national security agents can act much faster and more efficiently than they were in the video.

  • i am just wondering if they hv the gut to write it in Chinese, people, well at least me for one will beat him to say ·yes one more time·

  • do they even know where tibet is ?

    pathetic

  • simply pathetic, go away, speak chinese you mother f** ker

    human right in Iraq you pathetic Americans

  • Paid for by CIA.

    speak chinese, you idiotic pigs.

  • the ordinary chinese don't understand english, if you guys really have the courage to stir up some controversy, you would have made a sign IN CHINESE claiming tibet freedom. now, that would be one effective way to get your message across those people

    such pathetic people

  • Better learn at least a little bit Chinese. Say "西藏独立" or something similar, could be more effective. I would look forward to see their next protest in Tiananmen Square with a post displaying that.

  • I am sorry. Those people are interested but not hostile because they don't quite understand English. If they do, they will ask you guys to leave and don't interfere with other countries affair. Tibet has always been and will be always be part of China.

  • LMAO, you guys suck, BIG TIME! and you are not good actors either, in that video, the chinese guy(security??) barely touched one of you guys, and you were pretending like he was attacking you or something... now i know why the world hate us so much, all because of losers like u. if u are really the men, why not trying to get our soldiers back from iraq, they are losing their lives because some idiots in this country are drooling for their oils

  • Idiots. Why explain to the crowd in English?

  • 听见东北爷们喊"出去,出去", 太帅了.

  • fvcking stupid!

  • Ha! These westerner are calling other people "angry young men"? They should really look in the mirrors.

  • People there are too nice. Suprised.

  • 欺负中国老百姓听不懂Tibet啊!!!有种打出中文的标语横幅­啊!

  • fuck ur ass

  • 一盆硫酸给你丫的淋过去你丫的就free了,一群傻逼

  • HOW PATHETIC OF YOU LOSERS! tell me how much you know Tibet first, do you even know where it is? pathetic pathetic pathetic, the chinese were too nice to u fuckers, they should've beaten the crap out of u losers!

  • what a joke. how about yanks get out of iraq and stop committing genocide and stealing oil there ?

  • haha, kick these SB's ass

  • SB!

  • LMAO this is the most pathetic "protest" i've seen in my life

  • The Chinese people are too friendly. If I were them, I'll beat those clowns.

  • A bunch of clowns putting up an ugly show.

  • the problem of the US protesters is: They do not know the Chinese people are currently very SATISFIED with their government, because they can feel that a lot of things have been improved, and the Chinese people know they cannot accomplish everything in one day, China needs time. And those ignorant protesters, shouting to people faces, thinking themselves brave, taking it for granted that Chinese people are all been brain-washed. Some Americans really need to grow up.

  • haha, hit by water bottles. ur guys are lucky there were police to protect you.

  • Why don't you stupid morons shout Free Tibet in Chinese?

  • They shall pray Chinese do not beat them. I will if I am on-site.

  • They should thank the cops to protect them.

    They would have been beaten by the ordinary chinese.

    At 1:40, the language is said by cops "don't beat them, don't beat them ...".

    Other ordinary chinese are chanting "get the hell of out of china, get the hell of out of china".

    If more chinese have understood what they chanted was offending them, even cops wouldn't be able to protect those stupid americans.

  • Use English to protest in a non-English speaking country and claim your victory? You are a bunch of COWARDS,HAHAHAHA.

    Next time use some Chinese for your slogans, I want to see you morons get beaten up by ordinary Chinese--make sure you bought insurance to cover the rest of your life!!!!

  • These morons actually believe the norm Chinese would support them. EVen Western Chinese don't support them. The Chinese Government actually save them from getting kill. How ironic!

  • Yeah china going give up 25% of their land because of you.

  • Remember to use Chinese next time, then you will get responses sooner. haha

  • stupid western assholes

  • the amreicans and canadians need to first go back to Europe, and leave the american land to native indians before they are qualified to point their fingers at china. and nazi germans need kill themselves before they are qualified to do that.

  • Wow, you guys are lucky. Next time people will beat the shit out of you.

  • free Iraq first

  • Americans are arrogant and stupid. No hostility? Didn't they see how angry crowd shouted at them "get out"?

    Ha, fee to bed, stupid Americans.

  • don't forget

    1x nazi German: say hi to hitler 4 me pls ^-^

    1x canadian: wat can i say? US's lackey.

  • Before the Democratic Reform of 1959, more than 90 percent of the Tibetan population was made up of serfs. They had no land or freedom, and their survival depended on estate holder's manors. Normally, the serf owners had penitentiaries or private prisons on their manorial grounds, as did large monasteries.

  • free tibet for the biggest slaver? Free Tibet that had long been a serfdom society under the despotic political religious rule of lamas (slaver, Tenzin Gyatsoand) nobles, a society that was darker and crueler than the European serfdom of the Middle Ages?

    go, you five so-called demonstrator, go, how ridiculous and hypercritical you are.

  • Lucky the Security Officers came in time to rescue them. Otherwise they will be so badly beaten up by the angry hostile crowd who were gathering around to see what it is all about. Initially they did not understand what these brainless idiots were shouting about.

    They just like to poke their nose into some other people countries affair.

    HYPOCRITE!!!

    GET OUT OF TEXAS-NORTHERN IRELAND, FALKLAND, HAWAII, GUAM, SAN DIEGO, IRAQ, FIRST!

  • To these five white trashes in tianmen square:

    3x US: get da fuk out frm iraq! stop raping japanese high school girls!

    1x nazi German: say hi to hitler 4 me pls ^-^

    1x canadian: wat can i say? US's lackey.

  • If you want a free to bet, go to Vegas what idiots.

  • just let them do it, who cares, it changes nothing, and afterwhile, this stupid game of protest will become boring for everyone.

  • Learn to speak Mandarin if you want people to understand you what idiots.

  • These foreigners should be kicked out of China.

    They should expect local chinese people to respond to these morons. These foreigners intruders should expect backlash from the millions of local people.

  • Ok lets have freedom!

    Freedom of expression;burn there Tibetan flags!

    Freedom of movement;step on foreign provoking activists!

  • r u nuts, they want to free to bed and free T-back

  • These stupid fucks probably landed in China and have no clue. They probably can't point out Tibet on the map. LOL.

  • Free T-Back

    then Free ToBed

    to fuck DaLie Liar Ma,

    and your west white-neck idiot!

  • i think they are good people, but sadly they know nothing about china. if they could learn some chinese history and go to tibet themselves, they will know how biased the western media is.

  • Don't let Chinese see them. See them once, beat their shit out once!

  • what a joke, Chinese cops were actually protect these protesters(motherfuckers)

  • *protecting

    typo lol

  • if you want to cause shit, then get the fuck out of China, and return to Europe where you belong, give your land back to the natives and then we'll talk about tibet issue. You ignorent people knows nothing but critisizing other countries. Learn your fuckign history, wait, you have no history, 200 years of what? plain joke? if you don't like china, then don't even buy stuff made in china, such as your pants and shirt. then see how many clothes you have left in your wardrobe

  • Western media is also covering up a lot of the protests in their own countries.

    In Canada, there are so many aboriginal people protesting against the Canadian gov't, they are saying the Canadian gov't is slaughtering them & taking away their lands. Yet none of the Canadian media mentioned about it! If you want you can check out the protesting videos on youtube.

  • they know nothing about China or Tibet, they thought that average Chinese citizens would welcome them since they are the "freedom fighters".

    Well you're VERY wrong. Sadly, you have been brainwashed by your media.

  • stupid fucks

  • Tibet Independence? Thats like saying California, New Mexico, Texas etc belongs to Mexico and should be freed.

  • Free expression and protest is more important than the issue of China, Tibet or the West. Let people of the world speak, you don't have to listen.

  • Free expression and protest, at some proper time and place... you get everybody angry if you protest at some wedding

  • Public property is always a proper place, without a restriction on time, that's what free expression is. A wedding is on private property, that's why we can't protest there freely.

  • You do get a point.

    Do it more professionally next time, like many people said, learn some Chinese. You were not acting against a camera, using TAM as the background, and for the media, were you?

    Second thought: maybe do not learn any Chinese is better, I will worry about your security otherwise. Chinese "angry young" don't know much about peaceful protest.

  • Please remember that I do not support this protest, in particular. I think the issue of free expression is more important than what they were protesting about. The small protest is not important, but the freedom to speak is important. This freedom is how you and I can teach and learn from each other.

  • My conclusion is let the protesters speak, if you disagree with their message, speak against them or ignore them. I have been to places in the world with this freedom and places without it. I think most would find this freedom is a preferable law. It's not easy to uphold, because we can become wrapped up in the small issues. That's why it's part of the Constitution, the highest law, in countries where it exists.

  • When I visit Hyde park in London, the only thing that facinated me is the stand-stone, standing upon which anyone can express his opinion. Well, Beijing opened three parks this year for protesters. Obviously, those protesters in Tian'an'men square don't show any respect to Chiense people.

  • I would counter that the issue of respect is methodological and less important than the issue of free expression.
