"I am ashamed that nobody has the guts to stand up in the face of this Chinese brutality"

if you feel so strongly about it, why don't YOU stand up?

Never mind the killing, the looting YOU (foreigners) have done to Chinese people in the past hundreds of years!

Do Britain hv proper elections? I read some posts saying that some bureaucrats were appointed. Anyway do elections always lead to a good, clean, transparent govt.? U may not like d Chinese Govt.. but they proved to be good, responsive and people oriented & China is rising.

I suppose Jeff, Birmingham, was talking about Olympics, wasn't he? But if you want to throw in numbers... How about Mao Zedong being the world's largest murderer ever. According to independent historians 70 million Chinese (Tibetans included) have lost their lives due to his rule?

China "as shameful as the 1936 Berlin Olympics"? No, I dont think you are smart enough to realize it should be as shameful as 1904 British invasion of Tibet when officer Young Husband mawed down over 2,500 Tibeten monks.

hgao, Beijing,

Umm, I wonder who that Chinese analyst of Tibetan matters is?
Tears on d earthquake had hardly dried up. Now we read abt a crackdown after Olympics. Yes, maybe it could happen but not after d games, maybe after Sichuan is totally rebuilt. Ummm how long will that be? Can analyst be right?

I am ashamed that nobody has the guts to stand up in the face of this Chinese brutality and call it what it is: brutal, vile and utterly unacceptable. We are sleepwalking towards something as shameful as the 1936 Berlin Olympics, letting the Games be used for propaganda for genocidal dictators.

Jeff, Birmingham,

Are you kidding me? Relax their grip? The Chinese analyst is damn right, the true scale of China's repressive regime will strike upon the Tibetans and the Uyghurs after the global attention has shifted elsewhere. The IOC must respond for this too. If they have a conscience, that is.

i personally reckon if first-hand observations and interviews were included, it would be a more interesting piece of reading.
