well.... i have a feeling after watching this video:
the key problem is: looks like all the westereners now believe that what happened in tibet in 3.14 was a
"VIOLATED REPRESSION" They misunderstood from the beginning or they were deceived by prejudiced report by their so-called fair and balanced media.
the truth was: minor tibetans did sth which included as "crashing, hurning, ransack..." that hurt the social security. what chinese governement did was NOT OPPRESSION but stopped the situation going worsen!
I partly agree what this french senator said, for more i'd like to ask anybody who tends to hold the opinion of "anti-china" : please answer this question: if such rebellion happened in your country or just happened in front of you, it seems that your life is facing danger, now your governement assigned a troop of policemen even armed forces to supress the violence, whether you should feel "thankful" to this government or "furious" to such non human right activity?
yes, what happened in tibet was so easy that: tibetans who want independence burned, ransacked, crashed Han people's shops, houses; while such kind of activity should be named as CRIME but not as easy as a "PEACEFULLY PROTEST or A PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION" what chinese government did was to DO STH AGAINST CRIME. It should not be used as the word of "violated repression".
anyway, even this senator disclosed sth that was somewhat "fair" to china, yet, i still doubt if this could change the attitude or prejudice inside most of western audience.
