In horrific late breaking news, Radio Free Asia is now reporting that up to 80 or more Tibetans have been killed in today’s violent clashes with Chinese military. Chinese authorities responded with brute force today to ongoing protests in Lhasa and across Tibet. Supported by tanks, thousands of armed troops have sealed off the three major monasteries where nonviolent protests were initiated on Monday. Chinese police have fired live ammunition into crowds of unarmed Tibetans and unconfirmed reports from eye-witnesses in Lhasa say that 26 Tibetans were gunned down outside Drapchi prison. While the international public and media have been appropriately horrified by China’s clampdown, the U.S. has made only very weak statements. White House Spokesman Tony Fratto said, “We believe Beijing needs to respect Tibetan culture. They need to respect multi-ethnicity in their society. We regret the tensions between ethnic groups and Beijing.”
Does anyone remember the Tiananmen Square Massacre?
Counterfeiting of every product we send there for manufacture, is minor compared to the Chinese government killing their own people. What the fuck is wrong with that place? They killed our animals using a poison to trick the chemical testing of the dog food into thinking there was more protein than there actually was. Poisoned our children with lead paint on toys. The list goes on and on… well, here’s the list.
What needs to happen to for us to something about this? Are we all too happy to go to Wal-Mart and be able to buy our needs cheaper than we have ever have? My boss went to China earlier this year to look at potential suppliers. The lure of low cost production facilities is too enticing for corporate America. The photo’s he sent back are astonishing… The pollution is so bad there, they will be shutting down most of the energy plants for a month prior to the Olympic Games. BTW, anyone want to take a stab at the age of the children that will be producing the apparel for the Olympics
