Maybe. That would be interesting.

China should be boycotted in every way for their terrible human and animal rights policies, the way they are beating stray animals to death with poles in the streets and of course Tibet. The sad thing is, a boycott would hurt the athletes more than it would hurt China. We can make a political statement without keeping those young atheles from their chance of a lifetime that may not come again.

It's interesting that how many people shout free tibet has no idea what tibet was and what tibet is now.

Are you actually working for the Chinese government?

That ended 35 years ago when US-China relations were normalized, so it's hardly likely to be on most Americans' priority lists at the moment.butter7 said:But the most interesting part is that Dalai Lama was on CIA's payroll, and young kids selected from Tibetan royal families were also trained by CIA with military skills. If I was an American citizen, I'd definitely want an explaination about WHY my tax money was used that way.
butter7 said:Well, I think it's up to the athletes to decide what they wanted to do. And they should know that whatever they decide (yes or not), it would come with a cost.
What interesting is that people talks openly about culture genocide, however, it's Chinese culture actually made the human right and animal right condition as it is. Just like South Korean people crazy about dog meat, Chinese people, especially people live not so far away from Korea, include the province I came from, shares the same fever.
If Japan is allow to hunt extinct whale species in the name of culture protection and get away with it, why not China?

martha said:It's not that you said something "good" about China. It's that you intimated that what China was doing to Tibet was a good thing.
butter7 said:
I never said it WAS good. I can't speak for Tibetan people because I'm not a Tibetan. I only speak for myself, and I don't like the policies that Chinese government has on Tibet.
If I was born in Tibet, I wouldn't have to pay tuition fee which is two times higher than the local students to do my higher education overseas.
The province I was born was a huge tax source, however, the money we payed didn't used on us, but go staight to Tibet. The muslim temple and christian churches in my province have to fund themselves, but the temples and religious activities in Tibet could get fund from the government as long as it was registered.
martha said:
Ahhhh. You've explained so much right here.
Nothing like "free" tuition to justify destroying an entire culture, wiping it from the face of the earth.
butter7 said:
I don't know where you point is come from.
Do you mean that Australia shouldn't provide education to Chinese kids so they won't wipe Chinese culture away from the Chinese society living in Australia?
martha said:
What the hell? You were talking about how money goes to Tibet and how they don't have to pay tuition.
butter7 said:
I was talking about higher-ed only. Tibetan kids got profit of having lower entry requirement because Chinese is not their mother language, since their compulsory education was run in Tibetan. But we are both Chinese citizen, and the uni's are using my money, so why they got the profit not me? That's what I don't happy about.

than what is happening in Tibet

First Nations peoples in Canada have a free university education as well. This includes all professional faculties, books, etc. They also pay no taxes.
I'm not particularly bothered about it, given the historical context, the fact they are riddled by poverty, the rampant substance abuse in northern reservations and so on. I think it is very similar to Tibet so I'm not really sure why you are so upset.
deep said:
and treating other people, that take the time to post in this forum,
like we know more about their situation than they do
(you may recall some people telling you about Canadian Health care service)
does a disservice
martha said:
Yeah. But this thread is about China and Tibet. Tibetans and their culture are being destroyed.
You just like to be contradictory and stir shit.
I think it is very similar to Tibet so I'm not really sure why you are so upset.
butter7 said:And I have faith in the native Tibetan people, who was born and rised in Tibet, for bring their culture to the new century.
deep said:
I for one would like to learn about Chinese politics from the perspective on a Chinese person
butter7, thanks for taking the time to post in here
martha said:If there are any Tibetans left.
destroying an entire culture, wiping it from the face of the earth.
butter7 said:
The whole Tibet thing really should have be solved as soon as possible.
deep said:
Chinese government provides some programs for Tibet that most Chinese people do not get.
deep said:
how many have been wiped out?
Since 1950, an estimated 1.2 million Tibetans have been killed by the Chinese.
