  • I am a Han Chinese, and I love Tibetan Buddhism , but now I question how many of those so called tibetans are really "spiritual"... and have a "peaceful" heart and all those nice title they FOREVER LABEL themselves with. Sure Chinese Gov has its own problems and more or less made mistakes on the past, but comparing with those "tibetans"... I mean, what a disgusting act in the name of "human right" ,"love","freedom".... Isn't this world full of madness already?????

  • It is not so simple as enemy or ally in the world these days. China, like America cannot thrive if it isolates itself. The world revolves around investment and if you expect any more from Australia you are being naive.

    As for the protests, China wants to keep its territories and it wants to make Tibet more chinese. The west sees Tibet as a puppet state, like Manchuria (Manchukuo) was for Japan. That Tibet is not a perfect country is not the point, they are denied the right to choose their fate.

  • Oh yeah. The same Respect that China treats the people with in Tibet - a free and sovereign nation that it invaded by force and brutally repressed for over 40 years? The same respect that China treats the people with in Xinjiang, a province with no ethnic affiliation to native Chinese which it basically has taken over and repressed brutally for many years? The same respect with which China treated PEACEFUL protestors in Tiannanment square in 1989? You're smoking crack, you fucking moron.

  • The communist party has been in Tibet since the invasion in 1949.

    It is time for the violence to end.

    Free Tibet and China.

  • i don't disagree with your point of view on china but this is no way to make your case.

  • i bet he is reading pinyin on paper not chinese characters

  • i was in china more than 8 years but speak better chinese

  • It just sports.

  • kevin actually learnt it in uni..

  • Read what you just posted. Have you noticed yet? If you haven't, you sound like CNN. You're one step away from getting a job with CNN.

  • Why must they leave? They will harmonise your society so you western fuckers will end up speaking mandarin and learn how to treat others with respect.

  • People like you should not exist.

    Go join the US army and die like a dog that you deserve.
