Tibetans in India demonstrate against Beijing Olympics

[Gunny]

Instead of Olympics threads, maybe I should just have a "F*ck China"" thread? What with my being so fair and balanced :halo9:


Hundreds of Tibetan exiles marched near the Chinese Embassy in the Indian capital of New Delhi on Friday and held a protest rally while denouncing the Beijing Winter Olympics (https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/olympics) and demanding freedom for their region.
The protesters waved Tibetan flags and held placards bearing messages like "No Rights, No Games" and "Say No To Genocide Games." They demanded that China leave Tibet and implored the international community to stand up against Beijing.
"The Olympic Games symbolize the spirit of love and peace but this time they are being hosted by Beijing, which is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Tibetans and human rights violations of millions of people," said protester Sonam Tsering, the General Secretary of the Tibetan Youth Congress.


The protesters also raised other slogans against China and burned the Chinese flag. Some were detained by police after they jumped over security barricades and tried to run toward the Chinese Embassy.
A large number of Tibetans have been living in exile in India since spiritual leader the Dalai Lama fled Tibet after a failed uprising in 1959. China doesn’t recognize the self-declared Tibetan government-in-exile in India and accuses the Dalai Lama of seeking to separate Tibet from China.
Human rights groups have dubbed the Beijing Winter Olympics the "genocide games," and the U.S. and other countries have cited rights abuses in leading a diplomatic boycott of the event.
China denies any human rights abuses, calling them the "lie of the century."
Meanwhile, India won’t be sending its top diplomat (https://apnews.com/article/winter-olympics-sports-boycotts-india-beijing-19114dd70774842c58caa8b9b1371dc3) in Beijing to the Winter Olympics after the honor of carrying the Olympic torch went to a Chinese soldier who was wounded in a deadly border clash between the countries two years ago.

As I stated earlier, China isn't hiding atrocities anymore. Every capitulation is kowtowing.

As I stated earlier, China isn't hiding atrocities anymore. Every capitulation is kowtowing.The psychology is rather transparent yet completely ignored by the US/West.

This is all about "face" to Xingpong. wasn't so much Chinese culture as it is Chinese commie culture. I've read more than once Pingpong considers a gold medal count a sign of Chinese National prowess :rolleyes:

On the other hand, you have The West's leftist culture of being able to rub the President's nose in the sandbox and he won't say a word. IOW, playing right into emboldening Pingpong. Pingpong sees it as weakness. An issue Americans particularly have always had trouble with. We think other peoples in the World see how great we are and think they want to be like us while they go right along thinking the way they think. Not without good cause.

The West will do nothing until it has no choice. In the meantime, the bullies are going to bully. get away with it, and those of us with any pride will be seething inside with rage. Not just at the morons that can't manage to find enough issues at home to deal with without causing trouble abroad, but at the ineffectualness of our own government sitting there taking egg in OUR faces.

Wherever whoever is going to lead this Nation and the West out of this shit is, that person is unknown to me and needs to step the f- up.
