Chinese Torch in Lhasa

The Flaming Torch of Harmony was trooped through Lhasa, Tibet on June 21, 2008. The streets were mainly deserted but for military lining the sidewalks, apart from a strictly vetted crowd at the start (Norbulingka Palace) and the finish (Potala Palace). A display of triumph for the Party and for a number of the runners.

I've been wasting my time trying to dialogue with someone who claims Mao never hurt anyone, but HHDL (and the Pope!) each killed millions. Sorry Congo, go find somewhere else to play. As I wrote earlier in this discussion, CCP lies (especially the real stupid ones) are not welcome here.

those dumbass free tibet pple cant do anything about it

Those "free Tibet people" in Kardze and other parts of occupied Tibet continue to express their aspirations until TODAY. The dumbass PSB and PAP keep beating and torturing them, but they can't do anything to stop it happening. Don't you dumbass fascists feel even a little bit ashamed? Of course not.

yaeh keep crying about it nothing is gonna happen. Most Tibetans love their country China, only people like you and some minority number of Tibetans are getting desparate and like starting trouble.

CCP lovers have been saying that for years. "Nothing gonna happen." Well, something happened. It was Tibetans inside their country that made it happen. People on the outside are giving them moral support where they have the freedom to do so. But it's those inside who continue to express their aspirations in the face of thuggish brutality. Until today - that's more than 4 months already. What do you plan to do about THAT? Just keep killing them until they love you?

i am not CCP nor do i like them. so dont go calling everyone whose not "FREE TIBET" a CCP sympathizer.

If you recognise that gov't by CCP is totalitarian rule, yet insist that Tibetans love being ruled that way by a colonial regime, what does that make you then? Cool, I suppose?

People want to be free, it's a basic human impulse. If Chinese people don't want it, up to them. After half century being colonial communist subjects, Tibetans still don't accept it. That's why only those few loyal to the Party were invited to see the "show" on this video. Everyone else not welcome. Cool?

[CaptainCool07]

no...Tibet is part of Nationalist China.

[agam4]

And how would you know? Tibetans are still getting beaten up for expressing their feelings almost four months after March 10, but you wouldn't know about that either, would you?

All Tibetans love their motherland - CHINA!!!
