A Day Of Pride For The Chinese People
Thousands of Chinese people in San Francisco are welcoming the Olympic torch.

Who here is the least bit critical of the firebombing of Chinese owned shops and the physical attacks against ethnic Chinese by followers of the "God King Of Tibet" in Tibet. I guess cleansing ethnic Chinese out of Tibet is OK because it's for a good cause .... promoting the religious cult following of the God King of Tibet.

Do we really want to incite Chinese xenophobia and right-wing nationalism?

4. They are lucky to be living some place they won't be shot for protesting
They escaped. Meanwhile, their former countrymen are NOT free like they are.

FUCK CHINA. China has an abysmal human rights record. For 60 years they have oppressed their own people, invaded a neighboring country for no reason.

Fuck CHINA apologists everywhere, including the assholes on this board who continue to do so.

5. China forcibly settled huge numbers of ethnic Han in Tibet in an attempt to dilute native Tibetans.
Edited on Wed Apr-09-08 04:52 PM by Shakespeare
And they've oppressed the Tibetan people for decades. Are you really surprised they finally rise up in rebellion?

China is the one who's practiced xenophobia and nationalism, NOT the other way around.

And you seriously want to call Buddhism a cult? Really?

14. Either that or let the shills kick up threads about Tibet and debunk 'em every time
That way, even more people become aware of the cultural and physical genocide going on over there.

17. Hard to admit considering the Tibetans, but it's fun to read how DUers deal with shills.
Snappy and sparkly are words that come to mind :grouphug:

10. Chinese Government: "We approve this message."
And probably paid for it, too.

That's how nervous these thugs are.

11. Maybe...
The Han shouldn't be there in the first place. Considering how the PRC "liberated" Tibet, they are little more than opportunists and deserve no sympathy.

Because you are working harder at shilling for the ethnic cleansers in Beijing than anybody at my job is working at their tasks.

23. Nothing .... But the CIA Has Given Millions To Tibet's God King!
You don't have a problem with that?

The Chinese government and their front groups aren't paying me and I'll assume that you're not on the CIA's or one of their political front groups payroll. Am I right?

If you bothered to read my other posts on this subject, you would know that I didn't support the old line Maoist regime and I certainly don't support the current regime. In fact, if the people of Tibet want to restore the God King of Tibet and his religious cult followers to power that is their right.

It's interesting that not a single "critic" has refuted anything whatsoever in either of the videos.

Oh .... just one thing more .... do you think that the Bush government should add the evil Chinese government to its "axis of evil"?

31. The Bush Crime Family will never call out the Chinese government.
They're business partners, and have been for 35 years. Remember all that crap about Nixon "opening" China? You know who actually did the footwork for that?

One George Herbert Walker Bush Sr. And he and his big brother Prescott Bush Jr. have been doing business with the ChiComs ever since. Prescott Jr. is even the Chairman of something called the "US-China Chamber of Commerce".

24. It's possible to dislike both the Chinese gov't and the befrocked feudal landlord of Tibet.
Politics is not binary, we don't have to view two opposing parties as being perfect embodiments of good and evil. They both cause harm and should both be resisted by those they would oppress.

34. Please explain how it is "ethnic cleansing" to fight against a foreign invader?
It is the Tibetans who are being "ethnicly cleansed" by the Chinese invasion of the sovereign nation of Tibet.

You are an apologist for colonialism and cultural genocide. Scum.
