PLEASE SHUT UP AND LET THE BOYCOTTS BEGIN!
Posted: April 8th, 2008, by Gyalpo Tsering
Many nations, athletes and politicians, including the Han people are crying foul against the use of Olympic boycott as a pressure point on the current brutal Chinese regime by Tibetans and other organizations. But have these same virtuous people thought long and hard as to the tools that China uses to subdue, harangue and torture Tibetans and other smaller occupied nations? Have they suffered the sleepless nights, the rapes, and many varieties of insidious torture and the decades of misuse of power by the Chinese communists and the police?
And on the question of freedom to worship, what would the Christian world think or do if their God was sacrilegiously hurled abuses at, or for that matter what would Moslems do, if their prophets were called, “…wolf in monks robes, a devil with a human face, with a heart of a beast”? By the same token of justice can this indignity be allowed against an unarmed and peaceful people? Are we so low in the rank of humans that we are denied the right to protest and shout against these injustices wherever they happen?
Isn’t freedom of speech, lawful assembly, the right to air grievances by peaceful demonstrations, and freedom of religion granted in articles 35 and 36 by the communist constitution of China? Or perhaps these laws don’t apply to the slaves of the Han people. Therefore, this is physical proof that Chinese laws do not apply to the occupied people and only apply to Han majority. And there is a hidden agenda, an unspoken agreement among the Han people and the ruling clique to institute a class structure, with the Han as the elite and the rest mere slaves and subordinates to the state. Since it is more than evident this is the case, the Chinese regime and the Han people are practicing a brutal form of imperialism, and a new form of communist feudalism based on race.
The people of Tibet ask, with what authority does Han China usurp the rights of other races, institute double standards and torture, maim and murder with impunity and call us reactionaries and splittist. And with whose authority do the dictators turn the Chinese public against us with the use of deceit and other heinous acts; dressing up as Tibetans and looting and burning ethnic Chinese establishments, filming them and then showing these acts on national TV as crimes committed by Tibetans? There isn’t a shred of doubt, with the current crisis among the occupied people that the Chinese regime is violating and abusing their own laws when it suits their purpose.
Before the Olympic was granted, China made huge promises to the world to grant her citizens more freedom, to allow unfettered access to foreign media, and to open China, none of which have been implemented and some of the promises blatantly dishonoured by the ruling junta. Point in case; the ban on foreign media from reporting on the huge demonstration all over Tibet and East Turkistan. The basic rights of the Tibet and East Turkistan people have been trampled on and ignored by no less than Hu Jintao, the premier of China himself, who earned the nickname, “the butcher of Lhasa” for his role in an era of harsh and brutal rule in Tibet during the eighties to forward his own agenda.
The right to live, is a basic necessity for the survival of a human being which right now is being ruthlessly suppressed and violated at every perceived threat to the Chinese regime and goes even as far as arm twisting independent nations like, Nepal. So where is the,” one world, one dream” that China promises?
Many have claimed that the Olympics have nothing to do with politics or the airing of grievances; and they should not be mixed. I say to these people look around you, you live in glass houses and you should not be throwing stones. The Olympics has been used by democratic nations and dictators alike to force their idea on the world since the very beginning of the games. And China by no means is an innocent bystander in all of this. She herself is to blame for casting the first stone. Aside from a grand scheme of theatrics to fool the world into believing she has changed for the better, China is solely to blame for state-sponsored terrorism happening in Tibet, East Turkistan, Sudan and many impoverished African nations.
Taking the world for fools, Hu Jintao and his cronies unscrupulously decided to strike two birds with one stone. One to declaration China as the new champion in the Super Power club; while behind the scenes, while the world is preoccupied with the “spirit of the Olympics”, the total annihilation of “minorities” races and the appropriation of their lands and resources into the embrace of the motherland. If China has a face to loose, or a face to be blackened the deed has been accelerated by the crimes of Hu Jintao and this geriatric cronies in Beijing.
Now that China’s glass house has a broken pane, I say to all you that disagree with boycotting the Olympics, you have become the misguided tools of China and are aiding a nation run by criminals to commit more crimes against humanity. The calls to boycott the Olympics and demonstration against the torch relay aren’t about small gold trinket locked away in a glass case or the bruised egos of athletes. This is about human lives and the death sentences being carried out against them for speaking out, so please shut up and let the boycotts begin!

Post olympics, China will create a true multicultural meltingpot in tibet. China will accept refugees around world and give them foods and put them inside tibet. Tibet will a true melting pot.

yes, i think all politicians should support the boycotts to china. the reason for some to go against is economic interests. now we are going to see who has the guts and who is afraid. who is a believer and who is the greed.

wow.
Mao. How original. You went and spammed a bunch of comments with the exact same words. What is your problem? Afraid that China is being wrong again and the world is finding out about it?

Coffee sippers who think it might be a good idea to free Tibet from China are about 58 years too late. China is not going to free Tibet, and Western encouragement of Tibetan resistance will only get people killed needlessly.
Tibet was part of China for centuries. In 1913, when China seemed to be falling apart, the British Empire encouraged Tibet to declare its independence. It did, and that lasted until 1950, when, at the end of the Chinese civil war, China invaded and reclaimed the area. By then, the impotent British Empire was in no position to help anyone even if it had been so inclined. America chose to do nothing.
If you are not willing to make your way to the Tibetan plateau and face Chinese guns and prisons, then you certainly should not sit around some coffee shop and urge Tibetans to do so. Tibet is a strategic area of China, and the Chinese government is not going to give it up or grant it independence or even autonomy. To paraphrase a famous outlaw, it is enough that we know that China will do what it has to do.
As for us, we should do nothing. Tibet is part of China, and what happens there is an internal affair of China. The rest of the world has no right to interfere, and other than bloviating for a while, I seriously doubt that it will. Unfortunately, in this age of global communications even bloviating can cause bad things to happen to people.
Boycotting the Olympics is a foolish idea by a tiny minority of fanatics. The Olympics have nothing to do with Tibet, just as they had nothing to do with the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. Boycotting the games would be a cruel blow to athletes who have been sweating and training for four years. It would accomplish nothing. It would further politicize the games, which should be encouraged to return to their amateur status.
China was awarded the Summer Games in a fair international competition and has spent a lot of money getting ready for them. Any attempt to spoil the games will do a great disservice to the athletes, the Chinese government and the Chinese people. It will do nothing positive and will only harden attitudes and end up making the world even more dangerous than it already is.
Americans in particular should keep in mind that we are currently engaged in mismanaging two occupations of two countries that we illegally invaded. Neither enterprise is going well. Neither is our economy. In short, we have enough on our own plate without trying to steal a bite off of China’s plate. We should make sure that Afghanistan and Iran are the last wheezes of the sick American Empire and shut it down and return to our republic.
I don’t know why some Americans seem to have trouble realizing that the days of the European empires are over. Part of the problem is that we have way too many vocational intellectuals and way too few real intellects. A vocational intellectual is someone who makes a living writing or talking. Such people tend to live inside their heads. Delusions of grandeur and fantasies about the real world are constant occupational hazards for such people.
No country in the world has to do what we tell it to do. Certainly that’s the case with the big powers like China, Russia, Japan and India. As you can see every day in your morning paper, even a little country like Iraq can cause us more trouble than it’s worth. It’s a crime against humanity that our sons and daughters are dying in the desert dust while fat politicians cavort about in Washington. Don’t encourage Tibetans to die in some futile fantasy about independence. They are not independent. They are part of China, and part of China they will stay.

China isn\’t invincible, and in spreading its army across the Tibetan plateau and East Turkestan, it has spread thin. Also, the environmental costs to China in the coming years for ravaging the plateau, will alone cause the house of cards to waffle and collapse. Perhaps China should look to securing the safety and prosperity of it\’s people\’s long term survival before it makes pretensions to rule other nations.
I don\’t know why you don\’t see that the age of Empires is over. And that includes the Chinese Empire. Stop being fooled by China\’s ephemeral strength of the moment.
Also, get your facts straight. China didn\’t \
