  • The various immature and politically nonsensical responses from chinese officials, in reaction to Liu Xiaobo being awarded the nobel peace prize, don't make me doubt this story one bit.

  • I used to respect Dhalai Lama but...In 2008 he said he would be very happy to settle with just being a leader of the Tibet under China. He didnt care about Tibet people at the first place. He just wanted to be in power. He is definetely not a monk. Monks arent power thirsty like him. I thought he really cared about Tibet before 2008.

  • Graffiti research lab is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. Students for a free tibet are funded by the National Endowment for Democracy. Both of those organisations now carry out overtly what the CIA used to do covertly. In other words this guy is a puppet of the US government and is up to no good. Why believe anything this guy says. For a balanced report a representative from China should have been interviewed too. This is biased one sided propaganda.

  • God help Taiwan. We are next.

  • she is really beautiful. im prettier tho! 7

  • If you against me, then I have to kick you out. What is wrong is that?

  • Thank you for helping to expose the truth about Chinese treatment of Tibet and Tibetan people. What you did will help the cause of oppressed people of Tibet. Thank you again.

  • lol, well said

  • China is more illiterate than the US.

  • mayyoubeshit: So, what's your prediction for London 2012? 20,000 protesters, of which 2,000 are arrested for violent protest?
