Special Report: 3.14 Tibet Riots

Special Report: Western media biased reports slamed

A daily news program under the Swiss national broadcaster's German-language channel has apologized for what it calls its "mistakes" during reporting of Tibet-related news stories.

Ten days ago, the program broadcast video footage of Nepali police suppressing a Tibet-independence demonstration -- but referred to it as violence carried out by Chinese police in Tibet.

After receiving complaints from overseas Chinese associations in Switzerland, the chief editor of the Swiss TV program apologized for the distorted report and promised to make public corrections on the channel's official homepage.

Tibet belongs to China.

The west's support for the terrorist Dalai Lama is not only wasting their taxpayers’ money, but also misleading their people.

People in the west have been just as victimised by their governements' terrorist regime as the Chinese government has been.

Chinese government has shown great wisdom and strength, and will continue to prosper despite these adversities.

Truth and Justice never ceased to prevail. People in the west will see the ugly truth of their governments.

Western democracies are not only wasting their taxpayers’ money supporting the terrorists like the Dalai Lama, but also making their people vulnerable to these dangerous organizations. The allegations that the head of Canberra's Tibetan Buddhist community Lama Choedak had sexual relationships with several female students emerged late 2010. And the women received stern warnings from senior foreign figures in the Tibetan Buddhist movement against them going public. Canberra Times 1/5/11

What happened in Tibet in March 2008 is a pre-meditated terrorist attack by Dalai against Chinese people with support from his western allies. Just look at the lies that the US packed Falungong news NTDTV and the western media's one sided China-smear campaigns. Western leaders even asked China to restrain towards rioters, and they have no balls to call on David Cameron to restrain towords rioters, DO THEY?!

The then Australian PM Kevin Rudd and NZ PM Helen Clark called on China to exercise restraint on Tibetan rioters. Restraint is a word for conflicts between 2 hostile sovereignties. As neither Australia nor NZ recognises Tibet as a seperate country, Kevin Rudd and Helen Clark had both made fools of themselves. And both of the them lost the top job, HA karma served them right!

Actually, China should apologize to the Tibetan people for raping them for the last 50 years.

@vonloic pretty much, while i am not from china, I do keep update on tibet well before the riot, the blog of people in tibet on that day tells a very different story the media has shown, much of the picture came from them. while CCTV is not telling the entire story, i can said BBC and CNN outright made up much of their version.

a tibetan doctor was bedridden because he tried to save a 6 year old kid, who died 2 day later. there is nothing to cheer about, its crazy.
