| Dear Du, Thanks for your reply but unfortunately I have the same words for you. First of all, I applaud your courage and effort to write in English and I reciprocated by putting in real hard work in deciphering them. However, you have put a very weak argument across.... Like the Chinese websites that you have quoted, you were also unable to convince me and others of WHY and BY HOW the truth lies with the China. The only thing that the pictures demonstrated was poor picture editing skills, not news distortion. Like how the media in the west was unable to give a full coverage of the issue in China at the present, at least they have got the historical component right. Now what have the chinese media proved? Other than repeatedly accusing the western media of falsely portraying the lack of human rights and repression of Tibetans in "China" (I admit I do not believe Tibet was or should be a province of China), they have not been able to cough up other substantial evidences of legal rights to rule Tibet, nor its equal treatment towards Tibetans and Han Chinese. In response to your rebut regarding Taiwan and PRC, please also understand that having the same "ancestry" or bloodline doesn't equate to sharing the same national identity. Many Americans, Canadian, Australian and New Zealanders share the same cultural background to UK, so are you saying they should be be annexed by UK? I believe in the rights to self determination that clearly China does not believe in and I thank my ancestors for not having made China their home where I would then be a part of. It would be hard for me to understand the true embolism of human rights and self determination since you never had the opportunity to be part of it. Until then, I pray that God would be with you. Good to know that you rest your faith in God rather than the CCP anyway. |
