Tibet support and Chinese Olympic Games logo

Hello, I have just signed an urgent petition urging the Chinese government to respect human rights in Tibet and engage in dialogue with the Dalai Lama. This is really important and I thought you might want to take part in it:

http://www.avaaz.org/fr/tibet_end_the_violence/

After almost 50 years of Chinese rule, Tibetans are launching a global call for change. The Chinese regime is at this very moment making a crucial choice between even harsher repression and dialogue. President Hu Jintao needs to hear that "Made in China" and the Beijing Olympics will only have the support of the peoples of the world if he chooses dialogue. But it will take an avalanche of global popular power to get its attention.
Click below to sign the petition. In just 3 days, the campaign is already halfway to its goal of 1 million signatures!

Yes, but the Chinese raise their tone because they consider themselves attacked by the West.

They know why they can react that way; the West is dependent on the Chinese (your yellow race with slanted eyes); they will never recognize that they do not respect human rights. They will say that they repress protesters and troublemakers.

If your President Sarkozy from France with Hungarian genes, wants to sell his Airbus and his nuclear plants he just has to go and put his butt in the forum of the opening of the Games.

Tibet: facing international pressure, Beijing raises its voice

In the face of international pressure in the run-up to the August Olympics in Beijing, China raised the tone on Wednesday against the West by accusing the media of distorting the reality in Tibet and lambasting the countries that will accept receiving the Dalai. Lama.

Beijing has expressed its dissatisfaction the day after a hardening of the French position. "We must stick to the Olympic spirit and not politicize the games," Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said when asked about French President Nicolas Sarkozy's comments.

Confronted by human rights defenders' criticism of Beijing's lack of willpower, Sarkozy did not rule out Tuesday a boycott of the opening ceremony of the Games, August 8, to protest against repression in Tibet.

The Chinese spokesman also warned against any official reception of the Dalai Lama by Paris or other capitals.

"The Chinese government strongly opposes any form of official contact by the Dalai Lama with any country," Qin said, reacting to statements by the French secretary of state for human rights Rama Yade, who said he was ready on Tuesday to receive the Tibetan spiritual leader.

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner also said that if the Dalai Lama came to France, Mr. Sarkozy himself should meet him.

The Dalai Lama, accused by Beijing of organizing the unrest in Tibet, will be in France 15 August 20 during the Olympics to give a pastoral conference, a visit planned before the current crisis.

Chinese spokesman Qin Gang took the opportunity to call on foreign countries to adopt, in the Tibetan crisis, an "objective and impartial attitude to understand and support the just and necessary measures taken by China to preserve social stability. and protect the security of property and people ". "Already over a hundred foreign governments have indicated that this is a correct position," Qin said.

In its media offensive, China is organizing a three-day press trip for a dozen foreign journalists who will be able to make "visits to places affected by the riots and will also be able to interview the wounded".

"We think that this will allow them to know the truth about the riots in Lhasa," said Mr. Qin on Tuesday, about this trip supervised by the authorities. AFP was not invited to participate. No French media is on the trip.

China, which has banned foreign journalists from free access to Tibet and neighboring provinces affected by protests, has criticized the coverage of some Western media, accusing them of misrepresenting the facts.

In the official press, as on the internet, attacks against some Western media, especially the American channel CNN, are increasing.

Pointing out errors, such as the use of photographs of demonstrations in Nepal to illustrate the repression in Tibet, the Chinese authorities take the opportunity to denounce a lack of "objectivity" of these media in general.

The China Daily newspaper announced Wednesday the creation of a site, called www.anti-CNN.com which claims to be an expression of the "anger" of Chinese students abroad and contains a letter denouncing "the Western Nazi media of Goebbels", Hitler's former propaganda minister.

On Wednesday, Beijing said more than 600 people had surrendered to police after the bloody riots in Lhasa and unrest in neighboring Tibet.

If the authorities report 20 dead, 18 "innocent" civilians and two policemen, Tibetans in exile speak of 140 dead.
