Not Just Identify Problems for China - Solve Them! Dear Jianshuo, Thanks for your fast reply. I sort of understand where you are coming from. You want people to establish a bridge for people to understand each other and tolerate differences. The example that you have given regarding my little cousin is a fair one, yeah that boy would not understand me if I simply put up a sign that reads "Your Fault, Not Mine", however the Tibetan Rights vs. Beijing's stand is a far more complicated one. First of all, do you really think there Beijing does not know what is happening and what the Tibetans want? They do! They also understand that Dalai Lama wants to speak to Beijing regarding the protest in Tibet but what is Beijing doing? They are closing all doors to communication. Frankly speaking, do you think Beijing will release Tibet after the dialogue? No, they won't. So whats the point then? Fact is the Tibetans are not happy with the life they are living under the Chinese rule and like it or not, the route to true freedom lies in their hand, not the Chinese. I suppose I am a stance supporter of self determination so please dont take it personally as being anti-Chinese. China or not, I would have shown similar support for human rights.... If it is India who has invaded Tibet back then, I would be going against the New Delhi govt too... |

Not Just Identify Problems for China - Solve Them! To correct typos...... Dear Jianshuo, You may have misunderstood my comment. I was not referring to you or "people in other countries" (in quoting you) as childish. I mean "to blame anyone else when its one's own mentality at work" is plain childish. This can happen to anyone - in any country, any social class, at any age. My 3 years old cousin always do the same thing to me, if he falls when I'm not holding his hand, he would complain to his mom that I am the one who caused him to fall. Similarly if people refused to look at things objectively and decide that China = PLA = CCP = Chinese = the ordinary Zhang, Wang, Chen on the road... then I cannot do anything to stop them from thinking that way. You cannot blame "westerners" (I believe its more like "foreigners") from NOT being sensitive. In the first place, it was not the foreigners who lump things up into one....That is what I call childish. Anyone displaying that sort of behaviour is childish and it can happen to anyone anywhere in the world, not just Chinese. I don't get offended when people critics the government....I do that all the time and especially during elections |

Not Just Identify Problems for China - Solve Them! Dear Jianshuo, I have to disagree with you that it is the rest of the world that has a problem when China (or for the bigger part, ordinary Chinese) is the one that lumps the party=govt=China=Chinese and therefore olympics=chinese wedding up. You cannot blame others when it is your own mentality at work. That is just plain childish.... Any international event, be it sports, fashion or economical forum opens up a new channel for delegates to propose issues/ express concerns of any kind. Since the event is "international" then rightfully it serves as an opportunity to propose other international problems (deal with that!). If this event is a national event like "China Table Tennis Championship" then I am confident that things like these would not have occurred. Even if its not the olympics, I am sure other important international events like APEC would cause similar uproar. You can the link? On and don't say the Tibet-protest is calculated or stages. Of course it is, it has been planned way in advance when China won the rights to run the Olympics... They only chose to act now due to OPPORTUNITY.... if these happened 3-4 years ago then it would not have produced as good results. Would you study 3-4 years ago for an exam that will take place only now? |
