As a Chinese, May I ask you westerners a few questions?

1. Are you living in China or have you been in China for some time? If the answer is NO, then on What basis are you accusing the CCP? So, stop considering yourselves always right. It offended us, ture Chinese.

2. Do you know that your nations achieved industralization at least 100 years earlier than China? Please believe that 100 years later, Chinese people will enjoy much more so-called human rights than you.

3. Why do you like to have an oar in everyman's boat? Please! Iraq, Ireland and innumerable such affairs are not enough for you to make a racket?

4. How do you know Chinese people are oppressed by the CCP? Funny. My whole family live a much better life than ten years ago. The so-called human rights and freedom are meaningless to common Chines people. We just want to enjoy a rich, peacefull life. And the CCP have done quite well to fullfill these demands. And if you have been in China, you will find that the most majority hold the same opinion with me.

5. You always think the western political system is much better than ours, ok, the last question : apply the US political system to china, in which there are at least 1.3billion people, 56 differet peoples, and with all the unfriendly capitalism neighbours, and with the Taiwan, Tibet ,and Xinjiang issues,, are you sur you can deal with it much better than the CCP???

All my classmates and friends are fury about the Dalai Lama. We all know that CCP has many defects, and in our home, we often criticize it just like you criticize the Washington. But when it comes to such sovereign issues, we chinese people will regard the CCP as the embodiment of our motherland , and we will try our best to guard her, even the price maybe our young lives.

We want to make friends with people all around the world, but we alse need respect.

We love our motherland, we love China, and we are proud to be Chinese.

Hello Doriss,
Welcome to the WAB. Within the last few pages of this thread I'm sure that you can see many different peoples (from different countries) concerns about the people of Tibet and the Chinese government. Your government is under alot or political pressure as can be seen with what is happening with the Olympics. You have to forgive the fact that some of us (possibly more) get very little oppertunity to see inside of China (without anything being off limits) such does not happen very often in the media without bias. Critisisim is an essential part of become part of the larger global picture. Every country out there thats shares ties beit wanted or unwanted has gone through this time and time again (Americas gets it on a daily basis as do others). China, being such a large country would be assumed to be a leading power for the benefit of its people, its regional ties and contributing to making the world a better place to live for all concerned as well as her own economic health and growth. What makes alot of people skeptical about China is they are basically (forgive the term) isolated from alot of the bigger countries political wise especially the West.

I for one dont know the history behind China and Tibet but can offer you this. The world at large loves the underdog, It is underscored everyday we open the paper and or the internet. We are based upon values (I'm sure China is as well) Our values have tought us that every human being deserves rights, Ones that cannot be taken away. These people merely wish that those rights are extended to the people of China and Tibet and hopefully come to a better understanding that works for the two parties concerned. Some expect it too happen quickly. Others know well how long of a journey it is to get there and the struggles that come along with it. Either way welcome to the WAB.
