China cracks down in Tibet: Will Olympic embarrassment follow?
Violence spilled over from Tibet into neighbouring provinces as Tibetan protesters defied a Chinese government crackdown while the Dalai Lama warned that the area faced "cultural genocide" and appealed to the world for help. The protests threatened to embarrass China on the eve of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. China has ruled Tibet since a 1951 invasion, but the Dalai Lama and other exiles say Tibet is sovereign and has the right to self-determination. What should the world do in the face of this strug

OK, let a real Chinese tell you westerns what is the real Chinese history, as early as in Yuan Dynasty(13th century), Tibet has been already a formal domain of China, this history is not told by the gov,but our ancestor, not you foreigner
Shame on you, use this way(distorting the history) to destory China
Narrow-minded and brainwashed you are, as you merely obtan informantion from your shameless media
but we Chinese can get informantion from the internet, as we can read your language, but you can't
China and the Olypmics
Submitted on March 17th, 2008 by AnonymousSeems to me that China is going to have a lot of trouble maintaining their credibility under the world's spotlight of the Olympics. They have human rights issues, environmental problems, and political turmoil. If anything, the Olympics will make their problems more widely known, as is happening now.
Conflict Spreads To Other Provinces

Is this a replay of Tiananmen?
Let's hope not.
Tiananmen Square and Tibet
Submitted on March 16th, 2008 by BenI substituted my original take, an observation by Gordon Chang of Commentary magazine, for an editorial that appears in Monday's Wall Street Journal. The Journal's editorial board notes a fact I hadn't known: That the current Chinese premier, Hu Jintao, was the provincial governor of Tibet in 1989. That was the last time the Chinese government cracked down. And, of course, 1989 was the year of the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy demonstrations and massacre.
China has done a lot to bury its recent past. We should never forget.
Enemy of My Enemy Is Not My Friend
Submitted on March 16th, 2008 by Chuck_JohnsonI hate the Dalai Lama and all he represents. He does not - and will never -- speak for Tibet.
Why, the Dalai Lama is the fourteenth incarnation of a brutal feudal theocracy where dissent, my liberal friends, was not tolerated.
One writer describes the Dalai Lama's Tibet the following way:
I think it's shocking that the national health care, national education Left loves him so much when he did so much wrong.
Before we start condemning the Chinese, we must remember all the good they did.
As the author points out,
See Joel, the Chinese ended torture!
