Interesting video out of Hong Kong, where three pro-Tibet campaigners were prevented from entering the city on Tuesday and deported by the gov't just days before the Olympic torch relay though the former British colony, activists said. The three were planning to hold a news conference on the situation in Tibet, which convulsed with anti-Beijing protests in March and has been under lockdown since.

YOU MEAN ALL HUMAN BEING'S GAME ABOUT TO PLAY IN INHUMANE ENVIRONMENT?
IT IS STRANGE THAT YOU ATHIEST BELIEVE IN HELL AND HEAVEN!!!!
hmmmm.....kushh, could you be biased against things chinese? even the environment where chinese people live and play is inhumane? maybe you can moderate yourself to a middle ground.
atheism was only a momentary situation in chinese history -- the effects of the cultural revo.
the chinese people are not atheist in the real sense.
that chinese are atheist is a stereotyping.
you may not understand how, but religion is big in china.
Kushh,
I know you are in India, but have you ever been in China?
Are you a student or some else?
Your description of China seems like a joke to me, who have been living in Anhui for 18 years, in Shanghai for 4 years, and in Guangdong for 2 years.
Your version of China do not exist in reality. It can only come from TYC's (or something similar) brainwash and your imagination.

INHUMANE ENVIRONMENT??????
That' s looks like a joke to me.
from your logic, dalai's SLAVERY policy is a so called "human environment"?
tibet people's average age was 30 in dalai's black gov. But now it is more than 60..... isn't it a human environment?
CCP provide tibet billions of money in order to help them build their economy but never ask for any tax. IS IT "INHUMAN ENVIRONMENT"?
Such a slavery of dalai........GO HELL!
ONE WORLD, ONE CHINA.
jeffreymeng - in the western media there are widespread reports of abuse by the Chinese government towards people in Tibet. This includes limiting their freedoms, jailing them harshly, and not allowing human rights violations to be aired or viewed. In fact most westerns see China as having a poor record on human rights since the tiananmen square protests crackdown of 1989. I think it would be intersting if you could share your thoughts on this perception.

Do you mean there weren't old people in Tibet then!!! All young and restless! By the way what was the life expectancy of the Chinese then??? 10?......all baby kids.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"CCP provide tibet billions of money in order to help them build their economy but never ask for any tax"
Don't know CCP plundered billions and billions USD worth antique statues and relics built of gold studded with diamond and other priceless precious metals.
don't you even know that thousands of log laden lorries make their way to beijing on daily basis for the last fifty years.
Don't you know that, CCP is making Tibet baren of mineral resources by indescrinate minings and transporting.
do you want Tibetans to thank CCP for making their country empty.
Do you still want to impose Tax on Tibetans.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Such a slavery of dalai........GO HELL!"
I still hope you mend your behaviour. I can also come down to your level on the usage of filthy and degrating words...but I won't do it for the sake many viewers who would perhaps feel uncomfortable
.
ONE WORLD, ONE CHINA.

ONE CHINA ONE TIBET---JUST PRAY THAT IT IS NOT 1000 CHINA

OH, U STILL BELIEVE WHAT'S GOING ON ON YOUR NEWS MEDIA?
haven't u been to www.anti-cnn.com?
what a shame!
I lived in China for more than 20 years, also I have been to tibet twice. when I was born, things happened in tiananmen square had became the past.
Seeing is beliving. U have no right to talk about human right in china if u just see something on your "liar" news meida.
Jeffreymeng - Tiananmen Square was only 19 years ago. Do you agree that during those protests China struck back with violent force?
If your media is controlled by the state, don't you think that colors their ability to report information to the people? Western media is far from perfect, but its not under the control of any government.
If you have any video, images or news articles from the Chinese perspective, please post them here at iConflict. They should be shared and discussed with our users.

I am happy to know that you have faith in something. May your religion make your heart softer especially in dealing with issues concerning Tibet.
I am nothing against Chinese. If you have observed carefully, as far as possible I used CCP to address my grevience.
i want to be friendly with chinese. I know that Chinese themselves are also the victims of cultural revolution. I was even worried to hear about the train accident which claimed app.70 live in china. In my heart of heart I prayed for them. Your pain can't be and shouldn't be the cause of my joy.and vice versa I hope.
I was even moved when I heard that 200 chinese advocates volunteered to fight the case for the arrested protestors in Tibet .This is beacon of hope for the two races to co-exist amicabily. but politics always comes inbetween and we are helpless..
I wish every body hold humanity above all.
kushh,
U SAID "do you want Tibetans to thank CCP for making their country empty."
oh, making their "country" empty? where did u get that?????
don't u know that in Tibet, there is no mineral can exploit..........
NOTHING IS PERFECT, BUT FROM YOUR OPINION, U SEE CHINA WITH COLORD GLASSES.
ONE WORLD, ONE CHINA. TIBET WAS, IS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF CHINA!
kushh said: I am nothing against Chinese. If you have observed carefully, as far as possible I used CCP to address my grevience.
but were you careful to avoid calling china an inhumane environment?
such blanket statements are not very middle way.
=================================
i want to be friendly with chinese. I know that Chinese themselves are also the victims of cultural revolution.
the cultural revo ended some 30 years ago, and it is not an ongoing movement, so there is no victim.
right now, there is an economic revo.
==============================
I was even moved when I heard that 200 chinese advocates volunteered to fight the case for the arrested protestors in Tibet .This is beacon of hope for the two races to co-exist amicabily. but politics always comes inbetween and we are helpless..
they are just fighting out the case, it is called the due process of justice. so there is no one sided affair in this matter.
you mean co-exist as one nation or 2 nations?
Kushh,
Since you only hate CCP, why do you want a country of independent Tibet?
-
You must know that from Chinese Yuan Dynasty (the rule of ethnic of Mongolia), China has established relative firm rule in Tibet. And then Ming Dynasty. And then Qing Dynasty.
-
The only interval is the time of Republic of China (1911-1949). And during that time Dalai grasped the power (and even weakened status of Panchen). Then CCP get it back to China.
-
Every country in the world formally admit this, and every countries' government admit Tibet is one part of China.
-
If you are really for a common good of Tibetans. Why do you want separation?
-
If Tibet really win independence, the situation of future Tibet will only be worse than today's P.R Mongolia (or say 'outside Mongolia', to be distinguished by 'inner Mongolia' in China). At least P.R Mongolia's natural environment is not as harsh as Tibet high plateau.
-
I remind you Kushh, intended or not, if you succeed, your separation pursuit can only return Tibet to utter poverty, much worse than situation in Dharamsala.
PR Mongolian poorer than Inner Mongolian??? I lived there for 8years...They are much more satisfied, healthier, stronger and happier than their supressed counterparts in CCP's rule...because they live in freedom. Again you want pix, vedieo and links to proove that...I had friends from both the sides during my stay ther. ... besides
Don't you notice North Koreans weaker than South Koreans....and At least to me Taiwanese and Singaporean chinese look much more lively than the mailanders....
it is all something to do with inner tranquility which comes from freedom which cann't be obtained under supressed conditions.
For you CCP has taught that..Full stomach is a freedom from hunger, Binge drinking is Freedom from thirst.
Freely available prostitutes and brothels are your freedom from suppressing your aphrodisical mind.
I told you time and again, that Tibet surviced throughout the civilization without having china to support it.
more to come..........
To Jason:
Tiananmen Square should be studied carefully, there are lot of true stories waiting to be discovered more than we can imagine.
I think China will promote the democratic process faster and faster.
Chinese media are controled by CCP, in which the regional media are controled by regional government. But still there many media and great journalists who are brave enough to report the truth. Even that will cause them prisoned or closed-off. Let alone there are independent media like "phoenix". And lot of regional media won't be controled all the time, always they got their own voice being heard, like Nanfangdaily in Guangdong.
But I think there is more possitive factors in our generation. It's new era of 21th century with internet and "new media'. After 1997, the HongKong's handover, we can at least enjoy more objective media both paper and TV from Hongkong and Taiwan in coastal provinces and big cities . Let alone we can touch more and more west mainstream media like BBC, CBS, NHK, REUTERS, Bloomberg now by internet and TV . Although it's always limited in the educated middle-class .
It's far from perfect, but it's still a applausive progress especially considering chinese just recovered from the Culture Revolution in 30 years.
Unfortunately, lot of the western media do actually choose their stand automatically in reprot. And more unfortunatly, not like chinese , suffered from culture revolution, who has been totally treat as fools and then doubt everything reported by any media , meanwhile the west people in some developed countries like USA and of European seems be used to believe the media since they think their media objective naturally . And the same time , drived by commercial interest and with some maybe superiority complex , the truth has always been distorted in an cavalier way.
Why do not know something about chinese minority policy and the "colour revolution"-role American government played in Tiananmen Square first ?
Sorry I have no new images or videos.










HONG KONG IS A PART OF CHINA. WHY CANNOT WE DEPOTD THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DESTROY ALL HUNAM BEING'S GAME?
LET THOSE PEOPLE GO HELL!
ONE WORLD, ONE CHINA!
