Rubbish

Just a moment ago at Facebook and i saw a friend sending me an 'event' - light a candle for Tibet.

well, to me, firstly, why this time of the year?

it is very stupid to bring Politics into Olympic games. And what these Tibetan protesters around the world are doing to the olympic flame is nothing but complete disgrace.

they only humiliate themselves. From my point of view, this guy Dala Lama is a tool of different political forces. He is not a king. He is not even a god. When he ruled Tibet (before 1959), 95% population in Tibet is salve. And there already were serious punishment like cutting arms and digging eye balls. so talking about human right before 1959.

A few important notes:

1. Tibet is an integral part of China. It has always been a part of China.

2. Chinese people in China as well as overseas do not support Tibet.

3. Boycotting China or Chinese goods will have a damaging effect on EU/USA economies. For those who call for a boycott do not understand economics. We live in a globalised world

.4. China is an economic might. Currently 3rd largest economy in the world. Nobody van ignore China anymore.

5. China is an emerging military power with nuclear capabilities, and has a seat on UN's Security Council.Bottomline: The anti-China protestors can keep dreaming.

How about all the people protesting for Tibet, Protest for Tibet. Leave the Olympics alone they are about the athletes and bringing the world together in one event. Athletes who have dreamed there whole lives about carrying the olympic torch are getting the brunt of your protests. To me, it is an act of selfishness and madness.

This morning, i overheard at the radio. That Europe done a statistic interview, on 'which country with highest security threat'. And guess what is the top in ranking?

CHINA. this is crazy. What about some western country, going into Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afganishtan etc. What about Iran? and why China? No doubt China is rising but, history evidence tell us, in the most glorious moment, China Chinese did not when round building 'trade settlements' and planting flags around. China did not act as 'world police'. 2000 years ago, from the Han, Tang, Ming dynasties, it had always been a graceful strong nation.

And i also overheard that one CNN small little reporter, commented that the Chinese is just like 50 years ago, describing the Chinese something like thief, thugs, hooligans etc... well, i BEG TO DIFFER.
Who were the 8 nations that almost 'tear' China apart? Hong kong 'given' to Great Britian and Macau also given alway to Portugal. Taiwan to Japan. countless unfair treaties were forced on China to signed. So, to mean all these are considered FAIR and JUST?

rubbish. utter rubbish. the pot calling the kettle black.

my friend commented, that his parents say that the western might be afraid, uncertain of China's rising. Well, very true. Why? i guess its afraid China might take 'revenge'? feeling 'guilty?jealousy?
i Don't know...

The values of Asia is different from the West. We do not stress on individualistic but harmony society. Neither Asia or China is inferior at all. Look around us, how many product are 'made in china'? and we are still not talking about ancient inventions that continue to impact our daily lives.

It is time to wake up for Asians, especially Chinese. To see the truth with a sense of personal pride and dignity.
