Is it China's Fault...or NOT...that they get these Prostests? What did they do to Deserve this?

I might agree that it's NOT CHINA's FAULT they sent food & other Goods over here to kill our Children and our pets through Lead Crayons and Toys and that Wheat Gluten Thing for our Pets. It's not China's fault they send in CRAP Vitamins that millions of Americans take every day or that their clothes are imported with Cat and Dog Fur on the collars and that the goods "smell bad" when they come in ...including their Cloth Liz Clayborne Shoes that retail for $50 bucks along with other designers but they are crap that any Discount Store in the early 90's would have REJECTED.

It's NOT CHINA's FAULT..It's AMERICAN TRADE POLICY TO "push back on China" to become the "Neo-Con's VIEW of DEMOCRATIC." AND...it's our Multi-National Dream that China bought our "Junk Real Estate Bonds through the "Carry Trade" that allowed the US "Mortgage Melt Down."

No...it's not China's Fault....from Richard Nixon through Ronald Reagan they were happy to OFFSHORE AMERICAN JOBS! They thought that they were very "liberal" in doing this. (they didn't have to pay to upgrade AMERICAN FACTORIES to get rid of POLLUTION...they would just SHIP IT ALL OFF SHORE!) They were really GREAT for the American Environment in not requiring the Shoe/Tanning Factories/Textile Mills/Steel Industry and the REST...to make their "Emissions SAFER" ...they just SHIPPED THE WHOLE DAMNED THING OFF TO Chinese and Indonesian Children to live in filth and be part of Dickensian Child Labor Violations.

Those "Free Traders/Neo-Cons and Wall St. Libertarians ...DID GOOD! It's amazing what MONEY $$$$$$$$$$'s can do for a Public Relations Campaign agains AMERICANS! We are so GULLIBLE...we are SO KIND...WE BELIEVE ANYTHING...if it's Packaged and Marketed in a way we can "Understand."

there is a lot of support for the Dalai Lama in the U.S. Lots of his family lives here, too... in my burg, in fact.

Haven't you seen the monks pitching fits on the news?

you mean they weren't protesting all that other china stuff? :sarcasm:

Thank you for so politely pointing out what the protest was about since obviously some people have misunderstood.

:shrug:

It isn't a huge SECRET. It's pretty apparent, if one listens to the news reports.

I know, just some people are confused. So thank you (in seriousness) for explaining to the OP what the protest was protesting.

Here's some background:

The Tibetan people stand at an important crossroads as two historic moments approach; the Beijing 2008 Olympics in China and the 50th commemoration of the March 1959 uprising against China’s occupation of Tibet. The Chinese government is attempting to use the Olympic Games as a platform to gain acceptance as a global leader and to promote its propaganda on Tibet. Beijing sees this moment as an opportunity to legitimize its rule in Tibet once and for all.

just saying.

It's mainly about human rights abuses. But the reason it's in the news now is because of the Olympics and it's proximity to the 50th anniversary of the Tibetan uprising.
