My questions were loaded. I was wondering if I could get a random western reporter to look beyond the one narrow point of view. <BR/><BR/>We both know that the Pro-Beijing media is very biased. However on the Tibet issue I see the Western press acting like the China Daily; blatantly reporting only one side and omitting any information that contradicts that view point.<BR/><BR/>Yours <BR/><BR/>Patrick HungPatrick H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15872721172994688265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655786796982608016.post-22574767673208298402008-05-04T10:20:00.000-04:002008-05-04T10:20:00.000-04:00Mr. Hung, there's nothing shocking in my column ab...Mr. Hung, there's nothing shocking in my column about the situation in Tibet that hasn't been reported in countless media.

Demas,Your article, No enlightenment...Dear Susan J. Demas,<BR/><BR/>Your article, No enlightenment for protesters, mentions some shocking things. I have some questions for you.<BR/><BR/>Where does the number "1.2 million Tibetans have died since the Chinese invaded in 1949" come from? That is a big hunk of the population and the average life expectancy has increased. <BR/><BR/>You cast scorn on some accusations: "Blame it on His Holiness in cahoots with the CIA". Did the CIA arm his followers, like China claims? Can you verify this independently?<BR/><BR/>What are the differences in the lives of ordinary Tibetians; under the rule of the lamas compared to under Beijing's rule?<BR/><BR/>Yours <BR/><BR/>Patrick HungPatrick H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15872721172994688265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655786796982608016.post-6038289839781737412008-04-30T03:00:00.000-04:002008-04-30T03:00:00.000-04:00I apologize for the chinese students there.

They are just young kids and China is a young country, they don't really know how to do public relation. The protest is unmeditated, no governmental action. If you can read chinese, then you will know from some chinese BBS. It is totally organized by chinese students and the money is from donation. I know our country has a lot of problems, but, again, it is a young and very big country, please give us time to solve the problem by ourselves. Remember how did U.S. look like when he was just 60 years old. It took him more than 200 years to look like this. So, please be tolerent. Have you ever been to China? If not, welcome! If yes, welcome again!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11341184464288960910noreply@blogger.com
