Gathering round my desk this afternoon, my roommates and I watched the video clip about Tibet riot from the internet, released by the state-owned CCTV. We were shocked by the atrocity of those Tibetan rioters, as several innocent people were burnt to death and many were injured in the disturbance.
Chinese government said the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama had planned and incited the violent demonstration, which was widely accepted by most of the Chinese people who concerned themselves in this problem, including all four of us. I don’t quite understand why western leaders still contact with, even support Dalai Lama, who wanted to break Tibet away from China, including British Prime Minister, U.S House Speaker. The latter also denounced China’s so-called crackdown on the violence. I suppose, it must arouse public indignation in China, because many Chinese people don’t want to see that the united country is to be separated, just like the Americans during the 1860s.
Chinese government should take more stern measure to those separatists, safeguarding national unity.
