As a Canadian residents, we love this peaceful and beautiful, free and democratic country. As immigrant from China, We also love our hometown and motherland. The riot recently happened in Tibet China and responses around world arouse our attention. We are here to express our serious concerns and worries, and to show our sympathy. We protest against those violence, crimes and acts of terrorism, untrue and misleading news coverage, double standard and prejudice.
Here one we Would like to point or some facts that should know about Tibet and Lhasa riot:
Fact one,what happened in Lhasa and other place in China were not peaceful protests. A variety of information sources confirmed this is an organized horrible violence.
Fact two, it is obvious that major Western Medias didn't give a fair and impartial news reporting after the riot happened. China Central Television has broad casted first hand video clips, and there are also some picture and video clips in Internet taken by Western tourists in Lhasa. But most Western Medias didn't adopt those sources in those sources in their news reports. Instead, some Medias cut or even attached with wrong videos and picture, mad fake new reports, added misleading comments. This is completely contrary to their ideal and principle of neutrality and fairness. Why Chinese government didn't permit foreign journalists enter Tibet ? Wearing a colored glosses on the eyes, always focusing on military and soldiers, blinding all of other facts. Don't forget U.S
Gov't restricted news reporting from Iraq after truth was broad casted. We were gratified to see that after the truth has been confirmed with evidence, some Medias apologized and corrected errors.
Fact Three: China is also a country ruled by law. No state government in the world can tolerate such violence occurred in the streets: burring fire and robbing shops, attacking government authorities, even killing civilians! So why blame Chinese
Gov't arrest criminals?
Fact four: most importantly, Tibet was a part of China's territory in the most time of past 800years, even longer than the history of USA and Canada. All the countries in the world accept it within 100 years. You can find proof in many places.
Fact Five: before 1959, Tibet was a Brutal serf society under the feudal theocratic regime, controlled bu masters and noblemen.
Dalai Lama was sitting on the top of that theocracy society. There was no human rights in old Tibet.
Fact Six: China is also multi culture nation with diversity. The 56ethnics are united ad one China; Tibetan is a member of the family.Just like in Canada, but people in Canada are from other
countries; people in China have been lining there more than thousands years. Majority Chinese people including 5 million Tibetan love and enjoy peace. The recent violent crime committed in Tibet was organized bu a small amount of mobs that tried to separate Tibet from China.
Fact Seven: 2008 is a historic year of China Olympic game will be held in Beijing. Chinese government is doing their best to make this global sport event successful and remarkable! All Chinese people are supporting Beijing2008; and as the host, welcome friends from all over the world. We strongly oppose to the boycott of the Olympic Games, oppose to
thePiliticizantion of the Olympics.
