Canberra was swamped by a sea of red flag-wielding Chinese, ironically giving Australians a short, one-day demonstration, a little taster, of what it must feel like to be a Tibetan in Tibet under Chinese occupation! www.blogotariat.com/item/canberra-swamped-by-sea-of-communist-china-flagschinese-embassy-helped-o

Have these Chinese students any knowledge of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, 20-odd years ago? Have they seen film footage of "Tank Man?" What are they thinking? www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOyjFJpgJlg
Giving them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps they are only too well aware of it and feel terrified and under too strict surveillance to voice their objections? However, reports suggest that they seemed to enjoy the bullying a bit too much! And their chatroom comments give them away too. I will not go into them here!!
Do they not understand that China was only granted the Olympic Games on condition that they improve their dreadful record on human rights and start treating people better, and demonstrate to the world, by holding the Games, that China has become a decent place worthy of the Games. This they have failed to do. China's has not kept its side of the bargain. Not only has China totally failed to make any improvements during the years leading up to the Games, they have used the Olympic Games as an excuse to throw thousands of ordinary Chinese people out of their humble dwellings, without any compensation, to make way for the huge new sporting arenas these Games seem to require. And to up surveillance to ridiculous levels, and throw even more people in prison. Disgusting behaviour! Hence the protests, if China had behaved decently the protests would not be necessary.
Chinese students studying abroad may be very intelligent but clearly lack common sense, and seem to miss the point. Although the Tibet angle has dominated the Olympic Games protests, the demonstrations around the Olympic Flame are about all aspects of human rights issues in relation to China- both at home and abroad, including their role in Darfur, their vicious suppression of the Fulan Gong movement, and the bad treatment of the Chinese people themselves.
The young Chinese supporters who confront the Tibetans, and others protesting, are incredibly fortunate and privileged Chinese. For starters they are, presumably, the precious one-child products of the vile and monstrous "family planning" extermination program, and are therefore amazingly lucky to be alive at all! And then, through having rich and/or connected families, and high IQs they have also been permitted to travel and study abroad. They are the cream of their country, a tiny, lucky fraction of China's people. Have they no pity, respect or concern for those in China, the millions less fortunate than themselves? Or do they feel too frightened not to support their seriously misguided government? China - why are they so proud of this toilet? Seriously - who wants to there and watch these stinking, disgusting, cesspit Olympics?
The Angry Cheese finds the sight of these prosperous young people scorning others who care, deeply disturbing and very ugly. By following their government they are missing the golden opportunity to express themselves freely, something they may never be able to do in China. It is a great shame. And a lesson for us.
We in the West need to wake up fast and realise the threat to our freewill and individuality that the new surveillance technology will bring!
