I personally don't see any difference between those rioters who've killed innocent people from other ethnic groups on the streets of Lhasa and their Albanian counterparts in Kosovo while the western meida such as the CNN and the BBC called the former "peaceful" protesters whereas the latter extremists. I wonder if they can still find a word called hypocrisy in their vocabulary.

China is till at the Middle Age...when are the Chinese going to raise against the dictatorship they leave in everyday? And just for David (weymouth) understanding, your phenomenal country is committing a cultural genocide regardless of the reason advocated by the Chinese Communist party. Go get informed man (possibly using a web browser outside China).

Lorenzo, Sydney,

Good on them. Very brave.

I know there are alot of foreign students in China. It would be good to see some of the europeans (who are unlikely to be arrested and totured) show their faces.

Jonny , London, UK,

This is not western propaganda to boycott olympics...
I, as a burmese inside Burma of Asia, also not support any suppresion on any race of humanity...
Chinese holds a great power to stop the genocide in Darfur, they have influence over Burma's dictators to make political change...but it doesn't because Chinese Government also suppresses its own people...and it's ashame for the Chinese president to say its rise of global power is for peace and harmony...what a ridiculous statement he made in his new year speech...Shame on you!
and I support any action or any statements that will make the chinese government perform its responsibility as a rising global power in stopping the genocide and suppression in every part of the world...

Well David from Weymouth ,your fellow counrty men are in Tibet which is not your country. You should feel privalged that you as a Chinese national are allowed to leave your counrty and visit,travel or live overseas,unlike the Tibetans under Chinese rule.

Tobes, Dongguan,

I pray for and with these students... But I wish there would be more I could do living here in Beijing. It's really heartbreaking times.

the one who has never been to china has no right to gossip about china. you gugs know noting about the truth. in this riot, the "dalai " group poured the oil to an ordinary tibetan and fired him to death, and killed other 9 innocent people.
if it were in your country, or if it were your family that had been hurt or killed, what would you say!!

This is Western propaganda! The observed protest was not directed against China, but against the Tibetan separatists.

A candle is burned for peace in Tibet, not for further rioting the streets. Those Peking students expressed their shame for its own people violent and brutal behaviour back in Tibet.

Meanwhile, all Tibetan students in Peking University, Tsinghua University and Renmin University (from others I do not know) were summoned by the authorities to present, in written form, their pro-China attitude towards their teachers and the system.

Everyone who is not comforming to the will of 1,3 Chinese people led by the CCP must be insane and thus removed from higher education.

"the students are actually tibetan trouble makers. There in my country! if they dont like it, they can go to lhasa university(the one we chinese built!)

David, weymouth, dorset"

"my country" - But surely its their country as well David?! Or don't you think you belong to the same country??

DW, Beijing, China

Shame on Chine all these years!

The Allies during the War of the Pacific freed China from Japanese hegemony and enslavement.

Surely the Chinese must see they have become their enemy-routing the Tibetans same as Japan did to them.

Withdraw from Tibet now!

Steve, Beijing, China

After 50 years of peace & non voilent approach by HH the Dalai Lama, Is it the shift of Tibetan struggle movement to voilent now? Surely I hope so..... China will see what Tibetans are in the next few years!!!!

How I wish countries would boycott the Olympics. One of the conditions for their being celebrated in Beijing was a demonstrable improvement in China's human rights record. The current events in Tibet, not to mention Darfur, inspire absolutely no confidence in that government's committment to human rights.

Norma, Northampton, MA / USA

Wow, no violent riot no police action? Anyone still insist peaceful protest is not possible in China?

Charles L, Seattle, WA

How brave of these students.
