Chinese Students in U.S. Fight View of Their Home

From The New York Times:

Rather than blend in to the prevailing campus ethos of free debate, the more strident Chinese students seem to replicate the authoritarian framework of their homeland, photographing demonstration participants and sometimes drowning out dissent.

A Tibetan student who declined to be identified for fear of harassment said he decided not to attend a vigil for Tibet on his campus, which he also did not want identified because there are so few Tibetans there. “It’s not that I didn’t want to, I really did want to go — it’s our cause,” he said. “At the same time, I have to consider that my family’s back there, and I’m going back there in May.”

  • Hey,
    Think carefully and then write. How is western media is even more biased than Chinese media? Did you close one of your eye when you read Chinese media?.
    If you think the developments that CCP made in Tibet is for Tibetans? You are totally wrong, billions of money that CCP spent in Tibet are not for Tibetans and those expenditures are for the millions of Chinese in Tibet. I would be happy if CCP has such heart to spend these much money for Tibetans. Those infrastructures are for Chinese settlement in Snowland which doesn’t belong to CCP. There are nobody who don’t like developments but developments made by Chinese government in Tibet are really biased as you guys are biased. Tibetans are second class in their own land under brutal occupation of Red Communist party. I explained to you if you don’t understand it!!! Open your two eyes to see the truth and if you still can’t see reality, then put on your glass!!!
