主题：又一个美国普通人的想法 -- 真理

The Chinese protest backlash against the Tibetan protests and the media people who've commented about China (Jack Cafferty) appear to me to be based solely on chauvinistic Chinese nationalism. These backlash protests are being made without regard to the higher moral concepts like human rights, free speech, or even something as banal as product integrity. All these things have been pointed out by China's critics and many Chinese are putting on a show of outrage by the suggestion that China has any flaws in it's national character. I hope responsible western news organizations will resist any pressure to censure, or censor, western media commentators who might happen to be critical of China. Free speech is not a reality in China today and we in the west should cherish and support the practice of free speech here, especially in the face of a concerted effort by foreign nationals to impose their repressive habits whenever they don't like hearing the truth about their country from someone in the western media.

这个头脑清醒

The reason why the average westerner does not understand the real feelings of the Chinese people is simple: Language. If you understand Chinese and read what the Chinese students are writing you'll realise that their anger towards what they see as "biased" western media is spontaneous and free-willed. Their government of course knows this and tries to provide them support, financially and otherwise. Truth be told, they do know that their own government is autocratic and their state media tightly controlled. After all, these students all over the world are free to access information what they could not even dream of in their own motherland. Remember Tianamen '89? It was the students who orchestrated it. It is the same this time with protests in London, Manchester, Berlin, Vienna, LA, Sydney, Melbourne (a week ago) except that the target is not the Chinese Communist Party but the Western Media and other related targets. Why?? It boils down to this: What is most important to the Chinese (at least Chinese students) is first NATIONAL SOVEREINGTY then second DEMOCRACY. If China were to become a democracy today Tibet will still remain within China. No party can ever hope to win an election in China without going against Tibetan independance. It's part of their history. Even the previous Republic of China under the Kuomintang (now the ruling party in Taiwan) never gave up Tibet (It was taken from them by force). So as a Westerner we have to decide carefully and draw the line clearly on where we stand: Tibetan Independence (Which the Dalai Lama himself officially rejects)? or Just human rights improvement in Tibet? But the question then arises: to be consistent, aren't we supposed to shout the slogan FREE CHINA instead of FREE TIBET? less

不过总是会有米国人把言论自由无限上纲奉为终极天条的，之前Don Imus不也有大堆死忠拥趸～～～

其实我看还是说什么最关键，在国内台上侮辱外国人，在保守台上侮辱女性黑人运动员，他们的很多受众才不管有没有侵害到他人，只要自己听得爽，就怎样也得保护自己爽的权利。
