Well, looks like you are in a celebration mood when you wrote that post. Let me tell you my friend, first of all, you do not want China's economy to fail because other parts of the world will feel the effects too. Secondly, if you really wish the China's economy to fail eventually, you should hope for it to keep growing at a astonishing rate like in the last 15 years. Believe it or not, stepping on the brake now (which is what the Chinese government has been trying to do) is actually good for the long term health of their economy. Their government has actually played a significant role in cooling down their economy and the stock market by sending their influential officials to 'comment' on the prospect of the stock market from time to time. Read more about what's actually happening in Asia. It helps.

Great job on the second one, an indictment on the hypocrisy of the Western media. I guess doctored and misleading pictures are not limited to just CNN.
Don't try to compare the Holocaust to what's happens in Tibet. Please show some respect to the Jews victims.
Atta boy, Sammy. Rose coloured glasses huh? Pot calling kettle black more like it. I am not going to argue whether that photo is doctored, because it doesn't matter. You don't know jack with regards to the circumstance surrounding that alleged monk's death. Quite frankly, you don't know if he was attacking an ethnic Han/Muslim civilian/police, and was shot after repeated warnings, including a warning shot, fired in self defense. On the other hand, Tibetans cutting ethnic Han's head off is pretty damning. It is illegal no matter how you are gonna try to spin it.
lol - so one was obviously a staged photograph taken out of context, and the other is obviously unvarnished raw truth. Oh - and it just happens to be the side that you agree with. SHOCKING. I am gasping for breath like a marathon runner in bejing.

Really Sammy? You have problems with those photos right? Take out those several photos altogether for a second. I see videos, from none Chinese sources, of Tibetans beating ethnic Hans with clubs, sticks and knifes. They're all over the internet, you'd be interested to know that peaceful monks participates as well. So what is the excuse for that I might ask? Let me guess, an ethnic Han rushed into a Tibetan crowd to attack them, then the Tibetan crowd retaliated in self defense right? Just making sure.
I would be intrigued to learn exactly how you shoot someone in the back in self defense. Please explain that, if you would. I can come up with a couple of possible scenarios, but they are so absurd as to defy reason.
Let's see. 50 police surrounded by couple hundred rioters. One getting beaten down to his death, another fires to save his life. PS. We're not even sure if the bullet penetrated the neck and made it out the other side. Happens all over the world, except in China of course.
how the hell can you control where your shot is going when there is a freaking mob charging at you with big knives and throwing rocks at you? i would be ****ty in my pants already. maybe just so that one person turned his back and got unlucky. i mean, some of you are getting so ridiculous. if you think that some of the posters are blind, just watch. the more people like you, the more extreme youth there will be in China.
as far as i know, the western media have been devilizing china and chinese~ especially this time. i found all media are disgusting, only reporting whatever they wanna report, and even faking the news
If anything, this thread has shown that whoever forms his/her opinion on what's happening in the other side of the world based on what the media wants him/her to believe is an idiot.
Walk into any police station, anywhere in the world, and tell them that you have a body with you which you shot in the back in self defense. See how well that goes for you. If you shoot at a group that is coming at you and you miss and hit some guy facing the other way, that isn't self defense. That is an accidental shooting. Police officers who found themselves in such a situation in most of the world would at least face a board of inquiry for such a thing. I’m not applying a standard here that I wouldn’t apply to an American, Russian, French, Zimbabwean, or Venezuelan police officer. Self defense = defending yourself from someone that is an immediate threat to you, hence the two part name: (1.)self (2.)defense. If a Police Officer in the LA Riots which you Chinese posters are so fond of had shot anybody in the back, I would expect them to see a grand jury. Google 'police shoot back' and you'll find 3,320,000 hits for articles about police being prosecuted or suspended pending examination after such a shooting. I think you are actually the one applying a double standard here, where nothing that China does in suppressing Tibet can in any way be questioned. If the USA police did any of these things, I sure as hell would be all over them. I have no double standard. I expect the same basic standards for police behavior everywhere in the world. The more extreme Chinese nationalists like you, the more extreme youth there will be in Tibet.
now Tibetans got their attention and their bloody request was denied firmly again. what's next? can they buy US army to fight for them? what's next? More whinning to CNN? what's next? Riot again? does it help? and for God's sake, Why would China give up Tibet after their 60-year reign? because they are going to be scared by your protests, riots, kindapping Olympics? stop kidding. The riot is not for freedom, it was for anti-China. period. they are tools.
Dont confuse self defense with law enforcement. You don't really expect to walk away free after killing and looting, right?
in a way they are... they are all controlled by special interest groups. you can clearly see how the media here in the states is very liberal leaning. CNN, ABC, NBC are all very left and socialistic in nature. Fox on the other hand is more republican and right leaning altho in my opinion still very social in their views. you can clearly see the bias in the news from these stations Fox played Obama's pastor scandal 24 hrs straight while CNN barely gave it a blurb.
