The western superiority displayed recently is far more than what we can see. Superpowers are been involved at the back with plan to destabilise China, and what been seen was starting of the dirty plan;

Following is an excerpt from the this link:

The anti-Chinese Tibet campaign, initiated under the direction of a German Foreign Ministry front organization (Friedrich Naumann Foundation) and a high-ranking representative of the US State Department, is developing its full efficacy in the aftermath of the uprisings in West People's Republic of China that began only a few days before the start of the Torch Relay. Whereas the German media mainly reported on brutal attacks of the Chinese security forces, eye-witness accounts provide a different picture of what happened. The British journalist, James Miles ("The Economist"), who was in Lhasa from March 12 - 19, reports of pogrom-like attacks by Tibetan gangs on non-Tibetan members of the population of the city, among them the Muslim minority.
(Please read more in the above link)

According to Miles, the shops of Tibetan merchants were marked and left unscathed while all other shops were plundered, destroyed or set afire.[9] In one building alone five textile saleswomen were burned to death. Besides Miles, western tourists also described the attacks on non-Tibetans. One Canadian saw how a group of Tibetans beat a Chinese motorcyclist and proceeded to "mercilessly" stone him. "Eventually they got him on the ground, they were hitting him on the head with stones until he lost consciousness. I believe that young man was killed,'' reported the tourist.[10]
Manipulations
Whereas Miles was describing the reluctant reactions of the Chinese security forces in an interview broadcast over CNN, the German media is using the uprisings as a backdrop to represent brutal Chinese repression. Facts obviously play a subordinate role. In the meantime, television channels and daily journals have had to admit manipulations of pictures. Film sequences with Nepalese policemen beating demonstrators were sold as documentation of alleged Chinese police attacks.[11] The security forces' saving a boy from an attacking Tibetan mob was coarsely labeled a violent arrest. Even Miles' report was editorially presented in a context to focus on Chinese repression. For the purpose of comparison, german-foreign-policy.com documents excerpts of a CNN interview with the British journalist as well as the corresponding passage from a renowned German daily.[12] (Click here.)
Anticipation
The pogrom-like mob-violence not only created the necessary media profile for the current Tibet campaign, initiated with the help of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation, it also permits an insight into the character of Tibetan separatism. The "prime minister" of the Tibetan "Exile Government," who had participated in the formulation of the plan of action at the May 2007 Tibet Conference in Brussels, had already at the end of the 1990s, expounded in the German media on his views of the future of non-Tibetans, who had immigrated to Tibet over the past 50 years. In the case of a successful secession, they will have to "return to China, or if they would like to remain, be treated as foreigners." He explained the planned measures: "they will, in any case, not be allowed to participate in the political life."[13] The prospect of discrimination against all non-Tibetan members of the population was anticipated in mid-March by mobs in their bloody attacks on Chinese and members of the Muslim minority.

Be surprised by this behavior of the Western Media in covering the TRUTH over this Tibet riots, and the hidden hand of a multi-national conspiracy against the rise of a major developing nation. If today we don't stand up for Truthful and balanced reporting then we shall see this world slipping under the spell of an evil collboration of the rich and powerful who dominate the media today and manipulate public opinion.

"According to Miles, the shops of Tibetan merchants were marked and left unscathed while all other shops were plundered, destroyed or set afire.[9] In one building alone five textile saleswomen were burned to death."

Reminds me of the anti-Chinese riots in Jakarta during the frustration of the Western initiated Asian financial crisis of 1998. Thousands of Chinese homes and businesses were marked for destruction and arsons.  The CIA has a long history in Indonesia. They played key roles in helping Suharto overthrow Sukarno and commit a pogrom of killings that cost between 500,000 to one million deaths of communists and leftists. The Western Media didn't want to talk about this nor its human right implications as long as Suharto played their game. He stayed too long and his cronies dominated Indonesian businesses to the chagrin of Western interests, so it was convenient to move him out during the turbulence of the financial crisis.
Recently in the Solomon Islands election there was mysterious anti-Chinese riots what burnt down Chinese businesses. Nothing much is heard about that since. We hope that this is not another conspiracy to undermine ethnic Chinese interests outside of China as well.  We can be damn sure that a lot has been done to undermine China relationship with Taiwan and HongKong.

Democracy is very enticing. So is Communism, which failed because human nature is selfish, easily motivated for self-gain but don't give a damn about public property.
Democracy puts the future of the nation in the hands of every citizen. This works ONLY IF THE CITIZENS ARE WELL INFORMED WITH UNBIASED INFORMATION.  Given the incredible dominance and manipulation of the Western media, I can only see Democracy as neo-Colonialism.  Even in well developed USA  very very few of the electorate really understand their candidates' foreign or trade policies. The media actually decides for them. Furthermore the running candidates are also picked by the media and the wealthy establishment, with their publicity and millions.  
So democracy is abused in the USA as a mere eyewash. How then can democracy actually work well in a developing country??

they will go down soon

glad to see there is so many people who have brains and understand life. if you follow the politics you can see that usa and europe are trying with lies to get control over so many countries. and they promise better life (especially europe union) but romania and bulgaria and checz and slovak republic are today modern slaves to germany,france ,britain....usa is attacking and destroying other parts of the world, balkans in europe and yugoslavia big friend of chinese people is dead, iraq and afganistan are dying, iran is next to be attacked, and finally russia and china will be the last ...thats why russia and china have to get together and fight back, and take serbia in europe under protecorate,that would be excellent entry point for chinese industry to be in europe, and other former russian republics of belorussia, and whoever fights big europe and usa monsters should be together in economic and military block , if not china and russia will soon be eaten and destroyed like these small countries
I wish you all the best in staying healthy and happy

From this forum we realise how insidious is the undercover operations involving influential people from Western nations collaborating with separatists outside as well as inside China to split and undermine the nation. I'm sure the Chinese government knows and is doing its best to manage the situation. I'm also sure that 99% of Chinese is not aware of what is going on, or simply don't care and think politics is less important than making a living. This is the key reason the West is on a crusade to replace a well established Chinese government with their democratic ideal, because they can try to make up the mind of the 99%
The Chinese government has implemented democratically elected representatives at the grassroot levels of communities where the electorate knows their candidates, their performance, and the impact to their lives.  The national leadership should be elected by  the thousands of well informed representative of the people, not easily influenced by the biased Western media.
Does millinium old Western institutions like the Catholic Church elect its Pope via universal suffarage?

You claim the western media is biased, and not giving china a fair shake.  Maybe true, but at least in our country, we don't put people in prison for dissent.  Your only source of information is the state.  I as an american will not be force fed chinese propaganda bullshit.  CNN need not applogize either.  I swear to god, if you pigs ever try and come here to the united states and force your policies on us, I will kill every one of your secret police that try it.



Grow up with your language !

You are an example of ignorant American electorate. You don't realise that the USA incarcerates many more of its citizens than China, even with a population of 4 to 5 times that of the USA.
