Re: I am a Chinese~

and re: the "it's our business" statement by Anthony was about Tibet, and happens to be true. I know there are truly a lot of westerners who liked Rage Against the Machine say very much and if they saw a show such as "Touched by an angel" or listened to Richard Gere and Woody Allen's ex-, they believe that China has no rights to sovreignty over Tibet, despite history. You will never ever see anyone in the world propose a boycott of any U.S. olympics because of 'what they did to the American Indian' nations, or 'to force them to give back Hawaii...or Alaska, or even Texas and Oklahoma.' NEVER. Which country right this second is occupying a foreign country--IRAQ--against the wishes of the vast majority of its citizens AND of the citizens in the country occupied? No, it's not China. As Anthony very very correctly pointed out, sorry Richard Gere, sorry heavy-metal concert goers, is that most Chinese in the PRC believe as he does--including the "smarter" women--Tibet is part of China. Should we protest the U.S.'s involvement in a sporting event because of this? You see, the number one shockingly conspicuous trait of Americans speaking on World matters is not superior knowledge, or even freedom of speech. You kidding? It's hypocrisy.
