Have been watching the recent developments about the Olyympic torch relays.....really some good stuff.....
I couldn't decide on a stand earlier because; i honestly had not much clue on Tibet...so I found some stuff started reading and I think have made my conclusion.....
If the torch comes around ...I WILL BOO........China has really done some great stuff to TIBET..over the colonised years...I say colonised because...It was and is....
They built infrastrutures and etc...however...the people feel that the Chinese have taken over their cultural freedom.....mind you China is communist. They don't have a relegion....therefore; the desire to culturally transform the Tibetians....However....
The tibetian ways are different....and so the riots.....
China i see is behaving funny....dodgy to an extend,...see before; during Moa's time they actually invited the Dalai Lama over to Beijing...now they apparently don't even want to speak to him...have a dialogue....this is truly strange.....
Why such a stance; when you know you have done nothing wrong...anyway why would tibetians riot if life was so good under their liberalised rule...WHY...the question still remains to be answered.....
I saw a documentary on Tibet done by some French production house...on the history and found some interesting stuff....The Story of Tragedy. This is on You Tube as well.....
This documentary gives us a glimpse of what took place during the time and annexsation of Tibet....how tibetians lived and died during the times.....was pretty informative....and sad...
Then I saw; another on why Tibet belongs to China.....all the rhetoric about Aussie's should leave Australian and crap like that...and Americans too....for capturing native land...then the silly maps my 8 year old niece can draw.....to rewrite history ....
the person....clearly is a China propaganda artist hired by the Chinese govt to put such things up to show that They are right too.....
It is amazing how China have put themselves in a shitty situation like this...they will proberbly react very angrily towards the Dalai Lama and the Tibetian,,,,,,,,,who ever they can get their hands on....
For now it is a great face loss to them....for screwing up something...they thought will never haunt them.....
However.....I hope freedom prevails eventually for the tibetians....Peace be with them......poor people......
So remember to invovle politics with sports.....because...we really don't get much oppotunities to voice out certain concerns ...Do we....especially in China......
