This posted in response to the article "Western reports get a lashing from foreigners" if west media wants to come into china and tibet, they should apologize to 1.2 billion chinese ppl for publishing those misinformed pictures and articles first ,fire those who were responsible second. Otherwise why would china let a bunch of lying and hating journalists into their country? and by the way, to show a good will, US goverment should open guantanamo bay prison to chinese media immediately.

West has no need to apoligize for anything. The west doesn’t control the media like China does. The media controls the media. If your looking for an apology perhaps you should ask the 100s of media sources who you believe are “lying” about China and Tibet. As to opening Guantanamo bay, it has been opened many times to many organizations. Including Amnesty International. Perhaps China should do the same. You need to get your ducks in a row before you try to spread your government propaganda here or on any other HONEST site. I live in China, I read your history books and your news papers. If you believe anything coming out of your media then you are in dire need of a real education. Most the Chinese I talk to even think your comments are uninformed and government planted.
What is a misinformed picture? A picture is a picture. If the Chinese government has pictures that show a different story they can release them to the press and put them on the internet.
Unfortunately the ChiComs have become accustomed to bossing around sovereign Western nations and assuming that our institutions operate much like theirs do. In NZ their visiting diplomats have asked for demonstrators to be disbursed by our Police and they are never slow to haul our Government up on matters that are frankly no legitimate concern of theirs: like whether NZ allows the Falun Gong to practise here, or whether our PM officially receives the Dalai Lama.
Sadly our last few Labor governments have shown a willingness to facilitate this bad behavior, for fear of offending them — I guess they want that Free Trade deal with China *that* badly. Me, I wish they would leave that stone unturned.
