The need for unanimity in China exacts a hidden price
http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/04/24/asi...tter.php?page=1

Excerpt -

In the United States this was brought home most powerfully by an incident that took place recently on the campus of Duke University, where a freshman from China, Grace Wang, was berated by Chinese students when she tried to mediate between pro-Tibetan demonstrators and a much larger group of pro-Chinese demonstrators during protests on campus. At one point a group of Chinese students surrounded her, taunting: "Remember Chai Ling? All Chinese want to burn her in oil, and you look like her," according to an account Wang wrote in The Washington Post. The reference was to a female leader in the student democracy protests in Beijing in 1989 that led to the Tiananmen massacre. Details of Wang's background were quickly revealed on the Duke Chinese Students and Scholars Association Web site, including directions to her parents' home in Qingdao. Feces quickly turned up on their doorstep, as the threats against them came pouring in, and Wang's parents eventually went into hiding. Even her high school back home convened a special assembly to condemn her for supposedly breaking with the motherland, and her diploma was revoked.

I think it's time to boycott the people of China too. Screw them. They don't deserved to be saved if they are so eager to be enslaved by their own government.

Not really a Q&A...IMO.

It's an opinion poll.

OMG ive just been reading all this all this while surprised to see this thread appear in LYN... Anyways Guys i fully support this Boycott on them...

There even an incident where they really beat the crap out of those people who unwilling to move out for the construction of the Olympic Stadium...


A quote from one of the really disturbing incident


IOC president Jacques Rogge told reporters in Beijing: "I was very saddened by what happened because this was a beautiful symbol and this symbol was attacked."

He was speaking about the Olympic Torch, of course, and not Tibet—which should give the world some inkling of what kind of an ******* this guy is. Free Tibet!

I'm more interested in freeing China. Communism is not a good thing as it is a top-down government. Sadly, our democracy is also top-down.

You may argue that companies are also top-down. However who gets the most profit in a top-down organisation, the people at the top-lar.
