As a Chinese, I love my motherland deeply and undoubtedly oppose the bias to China and some faulse reportage about Tibet by CNN&BBC Tamas, I agree maybe Chiese don't have so much human right as some western citizens obtain, but all things are getting better, which you and all western can't ignore and deny. I don't think it's suitable to talk about political issue in DT, especially in such a nonpolitical topic blog. - posted by Zhuanghua on April 11, 2008
Dear Tamas, Glad to see your reply, and glad to exchange opinions with you. For tibet, it is a very long story. Few hundreds words can not tell all truth. I'd like tell you more about tibet later if you are interested. Now, one thing I'd like you know is: Many Chinese are very angry on those 'free and fair' media like CNN and BBC, because they were found lying on tibet issue by misusing photos. These media are free but not fair. Yes, china government should not stop reporters go into tibet, but media should not create news when no news, it's immoral. Some Chinese is building a website to show how these media lie. Have a look if interested: http://www.anti-bbc.com/ (wish you can read Chinese) Frankly, I'm not going to, recently at least, upload photos about china's bad things, because I'm afraid that someone will misuse these photos out of ignorance or prejudice. BTW, I visited your website. You have many wonderful paintings and photos, I like them. K - posted by Miao on March 27, 2008
Dear Miao,Lingong and Watercattle, Thanks for the reply. It's good to know things are not that bad in china and better to know from the people of china. By free internet access i mean just the way it goes like in europe and the US. Ofcourse you can enter the internet, but can you write, communicate everything you like to, just like the most countries in the world. It's not a secret over here in europe, that many sites on the internet are not allowed to be opened by chinese people. It's great to hear different reactions from people from China, and still i'am upset about China's crackdown in Tibet. Thanks again Miao,Lingong and watercattle for your thoughts about this issue. I hope you'll let us see the many faces of china! Its a beautiful country with beautiful people!
