Video Violence

For those of you without access to YouTube, the Chinese government has made this CCTV video of the riots in Lh@sa available to bloggers. Obviously, this only shows one side of the story with lots of footage of rioters attacking Han and Hui residents of the city, but even so... the scenes of violence captured here don't do the Tibetans any good.

You don't need to speak the language in order to understand how video like this plays on the sensibilities of the Chinese people. They're pissed-off and looking for revenge.

I didn't know what the Tibetans were thinking. They showed hard power, but lost soft power, and how harder can they get? If I hated them, I would hope they do this often.

To chengduboy: That's they were planning. They claimed and pretended they represented "Tibetan people". Though in reality they can't even represent a single street in Lh@sa. But that does not matter. Whether they could create hatred between different ethnic groups matters. They hope normal people as you and me hate people in xizang as a whole, because otherwise how could it be possible for such a tiny amount of people have their dream came true.

What's also interesting is that the "riot noises" seem to be added to quite a bit of the video, although for some segments it seems recorded on scene. As any film-maker will tell you, sound is a big part of the emotional component.

In 1989,Beijing, they also said the college students burned some people to death, killed some innocent citizens and attacked the police......

But almost 20 years past, most Chinese know what happened in Tian'anmen square,Beijing, 1989

I found white people take a particularly sensive and delicate interest in the wellbeing of Tibetan and Uyghur people, to the effect that when han Chinese help modernize parts of Tibet and Xinjiang they would say han Chinese are destroying the environment and local people's culture, in aspects where han Chinese due to their own economical strength limitation are unable to modernize(harmonize) yet, white people would scream like Tibetan and Uyghur are their beloving children and how can their children be marginalized in their own land.

India also invaded Sikkim, but white people never ever so in love with Sikkimese people, there hasn't been much gutteral noise made so far. Why?

After puzzling night and day, I came to a enlightening conclusion, hey, white people must be in love with China, they love Asians, so they love Tibetan and Uyghurs who are also Asians or Mixed Asians, love, love, love....

True, we saw people burning military trucks, throwing stones at police on television, the authority didn't say they were college students,
they said they were spies sent by CIA to take advantage of the situation, and they ordered students to go home and clear off the scene, not to become the human shield of the true enemies, and kept sending out warning after warning day by day, but the students wouldnt back off, they thought the authories were trying to brush them off with false excuse.

Then there was cracked down, as everyone were expecting, only the actual number of deaths is not known to the public, from hundreds to thousands, different sources have different figures, whoever to trust?

Chinese authorities were good at hiding facts and may cause truth to be distorted, but the western media is excellent in fabricating and manipulating facts in the name of national interests, that is their freedom to libel if it is for the good of the white free world.

If you peel away the cover of democracy, you will notice that India is a very agressive country.

1) Invade and took over Goa. United Nation was considering to pass a resolution to condemn India but was veto by then Soviet Union.

2) Claim to have over 97% in Sikkim 'voted' to join India (an obvious fraud since most of the voters are not native to Sikkim. Send in 40,000 troops and absorbed it into India.

3) Use the pretext of democracy when it is convenient, as in Sikkim, but denied a democratic vote in Kashmir since India knows it will lose.

4) Heavily involve in Nepal politics.

5) Invade Pakistan.

6) Split Bangadesh from Pakistan.

7) Set up the Tamil Tigers to fight the Columbo government in Sri Lanka.

8) Invade China. Yes, India did invade China via the 'Forward Policy' of Nehru government. By Indian government own admission, the 1962 surprise Chinese attack occurs north of the Macmahon line, which is unilateral declared by the then British India and was not reveal to China until ten years later. (Thanks God the British didn't told India that China belongs to them!!!).

9) The only neighbor India has a good relation is is Bhutan. This is because Bhutan is too small to not to be nice to India. Bhutan is like a semi-colonial state to India. For eg. aside from all the economic concession like no tariffs to India goods..etc. Bhutan does not have a normal foreign relation to other countries. Bhutan's foreign policy runs through India. Bhutan has no diplomatic relation to China, to Russia, to United States, to Britain, to France. It only has diplomatic relation with India.

India is NOT a peacefull country that she try to protray to the world. Beware!!!!

中国部分知识分子发表“关于处理西藏局势的十二点意见”
(摘录)
5. 我们注意到,拉萨发生暴力行为的当天(3月14日),西藏自治区负责人就宣布“有足够证据证明这是达赖集团有组织、有预谋、精心策划的”,这说明西藏当局早知道暴乱即将发生,然而却没有有效阻止事态发生和扩大,这其中是否存在渎职,应该进行严肃的调查处置。


泰国华侨见证中共警察扮演西藏人持刀施暴
(摘录 / 希望之声电台报导)
一名泰国华侨女士在拉萨,14日亲眼目睹一名警察装扮成藏民,拿着刀子加入游行队伍。之后她在英国广播公司(BBC)电视台播放的节目中和中共大使馆提供的新闻图片中辨认出这名身穿藏服的警察。
当时那边算是比较危险的。很多国外的人被“保护”在派出所里面。因为中共当局规定所有的外国人要赶快离境,离开西藏。所以他们被“保护”,在派出所等候。等候离开西藏。她就亲眼看到那个拿着刀子的人脱下藏人服装,然后穿上警察的服装。她那时才知道,有这样一个不可告人的秘密。
在平民的示威抗议事件中,中共警察扮演暴徒进行煽动和栽赃不是第一次。早在1989年,深入西藏的中国记者唐达献就写下纪实:《刺刀直指拉萨──1989年西藏事件纪实》。文中披露:当年,当藏人发起和平示威后数日,中共当局安排大批特务和便衣,假扮市民和僧侣,有计划地造势:烧毁经塔,砸抢粮店,洗劫商店,鼓励民众哄抢物资。成功“造势”之后,军警展开血腥镇压。
今年西藏民众的抗暴行动和1989年有相似之处。一群20岁左右的男子,很有计划地行动起来。先是高呼口号,随即点燃了小昭寺附近的车辆,然后冲进周围的商店,抢劫货物,接着烧毁数十家商店。步骤有序,步调紧凑,动作干练。在小昭寺附近路口,有人已经提前摆满了石块,统一的尺寸和重量,一律在一、两公斤左右,竟未被遍布的公安和便衣提前“发现”。之后,就是大量军警和军车赶到,顺理成章地开枪“平暴”。

中共是否再次策划和构陷暴力事件,令外界瞩目。

@Zhang,

Last time, you accused that China murdered 1.2M Tibetans and we showed Patrick French's book for you. Now you started another accusation without any evidence to back up. Give us that Thai Chinese name, at least we can get the visa entry to at least prove she was indeed in Lhasa at that day.

There is enough evidence that Zhang is one of the chief conspiracy planners of the Tibetan riot.

According to an anolymous monk inside one of the monasteries that have organized monk protests,
Tibetan Youth Congress had recruited many new members secretly in the monasteries secretly, since police had been afraid of west accusation of interference in tibetan culture and religious freedom, the whole process went unchecked, and atmosphere inside the monasteries became more and more bolder pro Dala Lama, even him as pro China monk was afraid of being persecuted.

He told the reporters that the Tibetan youth congress had encouraged monks to do it as bravely as possible because there is strong support from CIA, with financial assistance from pro Taiwan independence group, he also told us one of the person sent to India to assist the planning were from Taiwan, his name was Zhang.

Posted by: Pamo chenchuo at March 23, 2008 04:03 PM

The detail of the conspiracy,

Taiwan election was approaching, Dala Lama was to orchistrate a coordinated riot as big as ever, creating an ever pressure on the Chinese government to dispatch troops for suppression of the riot, so the western reporters stationed readily ahead of time in Tibet could capture as much violent riot photoes as possible, with modification technique, air it on Taiwan and western media, so as to demonize Chinese government, make Mr.Ma Yingjiu, Nationalist party leader in Taiwan lose his support from public again in favor of the pro independent party leader.

When Taiwan was separated from China, Dalai also benefited greatly from a weakened China.

共匪拿出CIA也不可正当化中共犯的120万西藏大屠杀

Posted by: zhang at March 23, 2008 07:36 PM

Please, zhang. To be best interest of you, do open your door and let the sunshine in.

Posted by: Richard at March 24, 2008 12:34 AM

There Were definetly people burned by rioters in '89 of course, and there Were also people killed by army in '89. Never fight a lie with another lie.
1.2million massacre in Tibet? Has the "Zhang" friend ever studied mathematics? Do you know how many Tibetans were there before 1949 and after 1990? Do you know how terribly has the population dropped due to the rule of Lamaism from 16th century 1949???

To Mr.Zhang.
"一名泰国华侨女士在拉萨,14日亲眼目睹一名警察装扮成藏民,拿着刀子加入游行队伍。之后她在英国广播公司(BBC)电视台播放的节目中和中共大使馆提供的新闻图片中辨认出这名身穿藏服的警察。"
Such kind of "evidence" is the same word like "nonsense"
the use of "泰国华侨女士" doesn't help you much, it is a scientific and logic world, remember

Haha, zhang
Thank you for posting the "Thai Chinese" news here. That's exactly what we expect you to do. Actually when I saw that "news" somewhere else before I hoped you would jump out and link yourself with it. Now people know what color of goods(货色) you are!
