Yiwu: After having an opportunity over the past few days to read your posts, I've come to the conclusion that you are a bit of a hypocrite. I rarely use the word, but it seems to fit you perfectly. You state you live in the US, and have lived here for ten years, yet you seem to despise the government - and people - that allowed you (yes, "allowed," as it is not a "right") to come here. Read your own posts: >You are like a lot of Americans, have such a huge ego, and so arrogant.< >If the US does not like a neighboring gov., it will just play some dirty tricks to overthrow that gov., and put somebody the US wants as the head of the nation.< >Because the US never learns from the history.< >But after living in the US for the last 10 years or so, and after listening to those unproved, unfounded, one-sided, and very biased reporting about China day in and day out, I genuinely think the people in the US are brain washed about China.< (Question: Who would you rather receive your news from? The Associated Press, CNN and the New York Times, or Xinhua, CCTV and the People's Daily?) >US is believing in hegemonism< >"many Americans thought the world was revolving around the United States". I agree.< If the US is as bad as you claim, then really, now; why do you stay? Why don't you return to China? You are obviously tremendously proud to be Chinese, and China is your country. So why aren't you home? It's a serious question, Yiwu. regards, JS

Just as a matter of interest, according to the World Book Encyclopedia, Tibet fell under the control of China in the early 1700s. It regained independence in 1911, although China never relinquished its claims. Chinese forces re-entered Tibet in 1950, and signed an agreement granting autonomy in 1951. The Chinese government never lived up to the agreement, and the Dalai Lama fled in 1959. The Tibetans resented the disrespect shown to their religion and traditions, and the favoritism shown Chinese settlers in the region, and there were sporadic riots throughout the '50s and '60s. In the '80s, China began a more conciliatory policy, but the slow pace of reform bred further discontent, and rioting halted reform and brought another crackdown...
