A Tale of two women, one Tibetan, one Han Chinese.

Chinese newspapers everyday are talking about Tibet.

People in China are all paying attention to what is happening in Tibet. I read one news report about how Tibetan people were helping the Han people when they were threatened by the rioting Tibetans. One old woman helped a Han family whose home had been surrounded and was in danger of being set on fire with them in it. She escorted them to a safe place, then she walked back home in the freezing cold for three hours.

Another Han woman, who has a shop in Lhasa, saw many people on the street coming to break into the shop so she quickly closed it. Just before she shut the door, two Tibetan students ran into her shop asked for help. They were being attacked, even though they were Tibetans. She let the students come in her shop and closed the door. She waited a long time until she thought the people had left before opening the door again to let the students go home. Many of the rioting Tibetans had been hiding outside. They forced their way in and attacked her, her husband and her son. The rioting Tibetans then cut off her ear. She had been very brave to protect the two students who, eventually, were able to get safely home.

When the elderly Tibetan woman were asked why she had helped the Han Chinese, she said that she did not support the rioting and could not hurt another person; that was not the Tibetan way. She also said that the Tibetan people’s standard of living had increased over the years so they were happy living with Han Chinese.

Also a German newspaper said sorry to Chinese Government for incorrectly reporting the news about what was happening in Tibet.

I always wish the world peace. No war.

>>Chinese Communist Party's unnecessary and brutal crackdown on peaceful people who do Falun Gong <<

If you couldn't image how nasty politics will be, then look at the history on Falun Gong.

Initially, Falun Gong was just a Chi Kung and meditation class. Its founder just wanted a bit more money by exaggeration/cheat. After years of international politics meddling, it becomes complicated, highly political international organization. Chinese government's handling on Falun Gong was far from perfect, but following language fashion says all:

"What's wrong with you? STUPID as FALUN GONG ! "

Falun Gong story, Tibet riots and boycott the Olympics all tell the same story.

IT IS GLOBAL POWER STRUGGLE.

You shouldn't be surprised to the comming news such as abuse of human rights in China.
China is a huge country, there are lots of problem in China, Yes it is !

China survived 5000 years natural and social challenge.
Boycott the Beijing Olympics, so what? just a piece of cake! Just over 50 years ago, global power were fighting in battle field, 20 years ago, there was still in cold war. Today, just boycott the Olympics, we should congratulate on our achievement.

After all, USA and USSR both had the experience on boycott on either way. It is not a joke to be a super power you have to cross over all these dirties.

KOLLONTAI are you aware that China is on the verge of bankruptcy? Workers are being "paid" with their own savings. The real Chinese economy is being propped up by the west. If, or perhaps when, China collapses then the rest of the world is likely to be dragged down with it. It will make the sub-prime mortgage disaster in the United States look like good business practice.
There are undoubtedly two sides to the issue of the violence in Tibet but reports which do not come from the Chinese news media tell a very different story from that being told by the official news service. China's so-called economic prosperity is another very different story - and greatly exaggerated.
China does not rule the world but the leaders of it would like to think they hsve more power than they actually have.
