Tibetian monks were actually slave owers before liberation.
""China make tibetians second class People in Tibet.""
The monks, especially Dalai hopes to maintain that social order, to be first class people in Tibet forever!
Tell me a good way to build all those gorgeous buildings without damaging any pre-existed houses. Build them in the rural areas, in the desert?!
Exceptions do not represent the whole.
People in Beijing support this event with their greatest enthusiasm, despite all negative propaganda made by the west.
We Chinese love our motherland and are willing to defend it with all our might and main.
Frankly speaking, it's not easy to find an Amerian who's friendly to us on the internet.
The government propaganda against China is taking effect among those netizens, at least.
But what I want to tell you is: We're here not to make enemies, but to make friends.
I'd like to be friendly with you, if you like.
So proud to be Chinese~!!
