| Jian Shou: Just as you want the foreigners to understand that the Chinese sees the Olympics as their "wedding" and that is the reason that the are hurt personally when there are protests against it, you have to understand that the foreigners do not see the Olympics in that way and they believe the protest against the Olympics is a protest against the ruling class of the host country rather than its citizens. I was in the US during the Tiananmen Sq massacre and you should have seen the outcry against the Chinese government when they crushed their Han brothers and sisters. You have to realize to the foreigners that the Tibetans currently are seen in the same sympathetic light as the Hans who were crushed in Tiananmen Square. The way I see it, much of the criticism against the Chinese government from the rest of the world stems from what they saw them do against their own people in Tiananmen. So if you realize that this is the source of these protest, you might think about this in a different way. Just a disclaimer, I am a Chinese American so I think I am seeing this whole thing from both perspectives. |
