Chinese Media: ‘Crush’ Tibet Protests

March 22nd, 2008 . by TexasFred

BEIJING (AP) - The flagship newspaper of China’s ruling Communist Party called Saturday for efforts to “resolutely crush” anti-government demonstrations by Tibetans, while Beijing urged people to turn in those on a “Most Wanted” list of 21 protesters.

As Chinese troops smothered Tibetan-heavy areas to avert additional unrest, U.S. presidential hopeful John McCain, a Republican, and House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, joined a growing international chorus of criticism against the crackdown.

The protests, which started in Lhasa on the March 10 anniversary of a failed uprising against Chinese rule, turned violent four days later and touched off demonstrations among Tibetans in three other provinces.

The movement has become the largest challenge to China’s control of Tibet since the 1959 uprising. It also has threatened Beijing’s attempts to project an image of unity and prosperity ahead of the Aug. 8-24 Olympics.

Chinese Media: ‘Crush’ Tibet Protests

China is once again showing the world how they deal with those that refuse to walk in lockstep with their communist regime, run over them with tanks, shoot them, whatever it takes, communism must rule…

And as much as the world tries to encourage the Chinese government to act otherwise, the Chinese refuse, and will continue to refuse until such time as they are forced to do otherwise, much like radical Islam…

And we support China, all of us, you, me, every American, we buy their tainted products, we buy anything they make and are willing to ship to our markets, and we do it because they, the Chinese, make massive amounts of whatever they make and they do it cheaply, forced labor works like that, and the Chinese government gets richer every day, not the Chinese people, the Chinese government, and by giving them the money to build a massive Olympics facility and stage the games, perhaps that facility, and the coming Olympics can be used as a weapon against the Chinese government itself…

Also in todays news, China may ban live Olympics broadcasts, so, why don’t we, the USA, completely boycott the Chinese Olympic games?? Our president is so concerned with freedom and political correctness, wouldn’t that be a way to lodge a strong protest, with some serious teeth in it, and give the Chinese government a reason to rethink their moods and attitudes??

And if The Bush were to encourage ALL free nations to do likewise, well, the possibilities are endless when you think of what a boycott like that could bring about, and if we, the American people, refused to buy the cheap and plentiful, albeit poisonous products of a nation that murders anyone that has the gall to stand against it, wouldn’t that be a real stand against human oppression and a blow FOR human rights on our part??

China is in morbid fear that the world will see them for what they really are, and it’s happening as we speak, but they can, and most likely will ban anything LIVE from leaving China as the killings in Tibet and any other place of protest continue…

All we have to do now is get the world, but most particularly the USA, over it’s apathy and break our Made in China addiction as we send a powerful message to the Chinese, if you cut off the money the Chinese receive from the citizens of the USA, their political and military economy falls into serious jeopardy…

As my good friend Bloviating Zeppelin says about the politics of the Republican party, “Hit em where it hurts, hit em in the wallet and get their attention, send money to ‘good’ causes, charities and so forth…”, the same applies to the Chinese government, take the money away and the power wanes, once that happens, if the Chinese people don’t have the will and/or desire to throw off the bonds of their oppressors, screw em, they aren’t worth saving anyway…
