It is shameful and it can't be done without the involvement of Chinese authority, In almost every country the local police are using excessive force against the Tibetans and Tibetan supporters' peaceful protests. This incident is real shame.

Tibetans are doing it wrong, they shouldn't try to disturb the Olympiad, with this they are making the road tough for themselves. The matter must be solved by discussing it peacefully. The Chinese government had allowed 'Open Door' reforms in 80s and Tibetans should seriously think over it.

the Chinese are the players of disguising their reality behind the heavily curtained doors. they have the history of playing games with their rivals. India can never forget the popular lines of the Indo-Sino war --hindi-Chini bhai-bhai and we paid the price...

The Chinese government has said it several times that Tibetans' protests against China on the eve of Olympics are hurting the feelings of the Chinese people. I would like to ask -Did China ever think about the feelings of Tibetan people, which is being hurt by the Chinese suppression? People across the globe should start boycott the Olympics and the all Chinese goods as well to teach China a good lesson.

China is best ambassador of imperialism in the world, particularly in the Himalayan region. It invaded Tibet and enslaved the Tibetans. they attacked India and captured major part in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, they even took over parts of Kashmir, another Indian state. They tried to take attempt in Bhutan, Mangolia and Nepal. They think that every state of neighboring countries bordering china is their territory. Ohh I forgot to write about the fights China has in the eastern border with North Korea and Japan and in southern border with Taiwan. All these countries should take a collective stand to stop China' imperialistic policies.

Yes, Tibet, Darfur and pollution in China are the issues but I am boycotting Beijing Olympics due to the entry of Chinese goods in India market which has ruined one of my friend's life. He is about to shut his shop. The government of India has no control on the illegal import of Chinese goods in Indian market.

Beijing Olympiad 2008 is the Olympiad of 'Lead Poisoning'. I have read somewhere that China is to execute more than 150 prisoners during the Olympics. It believes in repressing the people who are said to be one of the most spiritual, peaceful communities in the world.

More than one million Tibetans have died under Chinese occupation and it is just another fact that Tibetan population has one of the lowest birth rates in the world. Tibetan culture has been under attack by Chinese administration for years. No Tibetan can willingly welcome Chinese authority in Tibet.the older Monastic rule was actually progressive that the current Chinese authority in Tibet. Yes...Free Tibet is the single solution of the problem.

Tibetans are in need of great support from people across the world. they have become minority in their own country. They can't speak their language, can't teach their children their own culture and old traditions. The young Tibetans living in Tibet do not know how to speak in Tibetan language and the elder members in family do not understand when younger people talk to them. The Chinese officials are on special duty to erase Tibetans from Tibet. Out of the total population of Tibetans in Tibet, 20% has been killed, 20% is missing and 20% is in jails. They need our support so START BOYCOTTING CHINA OLYMPICS...

Wow... thank you all for your input...

Even those in favor of the current Chinese regime...

Wish I could address all...

Please feel free to discuss it amongst yourselves.

Hi, CS. Good work as always.

This rather reminds me of white men dressing up as Indians in the old Wild West days, raiding and ravaging women and the Indians would get blamed for it. Skunks like that have always been around and I guess they always will be.

The Chinese Government commits heineous crimes against Tibet’s population and we shouldn’t be supporting China in any way, shape or form. One commenter of mine stated that if we boycott Chinese products then the Chinese people suffer, not the Chinese Government. I’m still mulling that one around in my head. I’d like to know other’s people take on it. I do know that I wish President Bush wouldn’t attend the Olympics. To the rest of the world it will look as though he approves of what China is doing.

Layman, the point being that all people’s in China should be treated with dignity and respect. The fact that the others are not, just demonstrates how the Chinese government lacks respect for its people.

At least Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper will not be attending the Olympics. Good. I hope it’s considered by the Communists as an act of turning-the-back-on the Communist regime for its refusal to respect peoples’ human rights.

Crimes Against Humanity or Politics?

How often have we heard in the last few weeks that the Olympic Games and politics don’t mix?

This is a faulty notion because advocates are not accusing the Chinese Party of politics. We are accusing the Chinese communist government of crimes against humanity.

For instance if a politicians says that you should vote for them because they have a better health care plan, that is politics. If a politician murders their opponent, that is a crime.

The Chinese Communist Party is committing crimes against the people of Tibet, Falun Gong adherents, unregistered Christians and many others while propping up the regimes in Sudan, Burma and North Korea who are guilty of their own crimes against humanity.

Please let’s not make the mistake of equating the Chinese communist party’s crimes against humanity with politics.


Australias PM Kevin Rudd is also not attending saying he has to check his diary.... I think hes waiting to see when the Torch relay comes thru Canberra next week and whether there is violence from the estimated 10,000 Chinese angry nationalists turning up to protect ”their sacred Torch”.
