One point they hold in common. None of them will debate the real matters of human rights and Tibetan sovereignty.

I feel bad for some of these guys, they grow up reading and hearing a fluffy history about china, and are taught about all the western atrocities. If they had a leg to stand on they wouldn't have to resort to the insults. But I honestly believe many are being paid to disrupt any converstions on the truth. I have not seen much of CW.

It's a game of baiting to get off topic.
Best not to play there game and keep referring back to facts which they clearly have trouble responding to.
The baiting game is just cheap point scoring, but it actually creates a negative image for China which will backfire.
What most irritates me is not the predictable baiting of these recent ATS members, but the failure of Western Governments to stand up for Tibet.
Maybe it is not China who is the enemy, but our own Governments who say nothing ?
With enough pressure China would be forced to make real changes, but the truth is our Governments are apologists for China. We may not be able to change China, but we can influence thinking in our own countries. We should shame our own nations to act on Tibet.

Someone mentioned they can't imagine monk throwing stone. Well here's a video that shows exactly that in Tibet.
A lot of people can't believe that Dalai Lama, the reincarnated god glorified by Hollywood is capable of supporting such violence. By now, a lot of accounts of past feudal and pedophile activity of old Tibet have surfaced for those who care to search. But at the peak of the savage rioting, Dalai Lama was asked if he would ask his follower to stop and he said no.
It's been suggested the Dalai Lama would resign if Tibetans launch an armed struggle with China...
...China has blamed the Buddhist spiritual leader of Tibet, the Dalai Lama, for orchestrating violence after days of rioting by Tibetans protesting at Chinese rule.
While denying accusations of inciting violence in Tibet, the Dalai Lama - who endorses non-violent protest - has gone so far as to repeat a 20-year-old vow to "completely resign" if the Tibetans start an armed insurrection against the Chinese.
The Tibetan spiritual leader has once again repeated his insistence that he does not want independence for Tibet.
He says he is ready to sit face-to-face with China's president.
"Violence is against human nature," the Dalai Lama said. "We must not develop anti-Chinese feelings. Whether we like it or not we have to live side-by-side."

Are we back in John McCarthy era? I've never been to China and am not a brigand. Whoever is lying, may he be strike by ........ something to do with that nice electricity that comes down from above.
Why don't you dispute what I said instead of resulting to name calling? Sorry I am not jumping on a bandwagon based on exaggerated claim by one side of the conflict. We all know what exiles with axe to grind can do. Remember the Iraqi exile who claim Saddam have WMD?

I know how you feel, been there, went through the hell before in this and the other threads It becomes so boring! it seems like all those posts by Chinese or non-Chinese talking about the points are ignored... the sadness of not being listened to when talking about the Chinese history, trying to make analysis of the situation, trying to show what rioters are really doing, it is even worse than when an American business woman on an anti-Chinese-products-rampage feels bad for me.... the sadness!

PS The WTO must be forced to set minimum standards of human rights before a nation can enjoy membership of WTO. That is what we need to change.
