The talented artist :iconqinni: exercised his (or her) right to express her (or his) opinion on China's suppression of the Tibetan monks. The gist was, Tibet is a part of China and always has been and always will be and anyone who believes differently is a lackey of the lying western media. I pointed out without rancor that Chinese state controlled media is not impartial, and that, since I once spent a summer in Tibet I could say firsthand that the Tibetans want their country back. For that I have been banned from his (or her) page. IN fairness, Qinni warned that anyone who would dare to disagree would be banned, so I guess I got what I asked for. Well, that's how China treats people and I guess Qinni, as a patriot of China (though not a resident there as far as I can tell) has learned his (or her) lesson well.
Free Tibet!
Boycott the Olympics!

You know, that same summer (2002) China was bidding on the Olympics in competition with the Canadian city of Toronto. I supported China's bid since I believed this would be a good catalyst for China to reform its record of abusing human rights. Unfortunately it seems I was wrong.

That's kind of cowardly of Qinni to ban anyone who doesn't agree ^^;

Well, in any case - FREE TIBET!

And yea. Like Zime said, that's rather cowardly of Qinni.

Actually now that I have investigated further I guess I have to admit I am not banned from her page, he just deleted my comment and denied me access to her response. I can still see his page.

Yeah- you're studying mandarin aren't you? Well, read the comment I made to your sister for a better understanding- I am not actually banned from him.

Damn straight free Tibet! Avaaz.org has petitions for human rights issues like this. We need to get the world to do something about it rather than just watch.

Yes, I am. :3
Ah, I see. That's still rather lame, though. Hiding your comment.

That seems to be a little harsh - hiding your (and all) comments made on the journal, but then again it's their journal, they can do what they want.

Personally what I find really frustrating - and not just with this artist, with tons of people - is when people are so over-the-top patriotic that they 'know' there is 'nothing wrong with their country and never has been!' etc (hopefully you get the drift)

I recognize what country I live in, and am proud of it, but I know and acknowledge that my country has done some pretty bad and dumb stuff, along with all the good stuff too, and it (hopefully) continues to improve.

People like that are actually a big reason why China will never be able to compromise on Tibet, or Taiwan..The Chinese people have been so propagandized to believe they have a right to these places, if the Chinese government gave them up, there would be a huge uproar. The other reason is that if they give up Tibet, then they'll have that much more difficulty holding onto the Uighur autonomous region and the other minorities. Not saying I don't support Tibetan self-determination..I have my share of Free Tibet stickers :) ..just pointing out some difficulties. I do think the Chinese government could do more to remedy the situation esp. wrt. human rights..unfortunately the Olympics do seem to have spurred change in the wrong direction :(

BTW, 你最后一句好像没有写完哪?
