Thugs vs. Peacekeepers or Fighters vs. oppressors; Mob vs. Protectors or Martyrs vs. killers? Before I could judge, please allow me to present some recounts of the Tibet unrest from the commons there. (As most western media had sided with Tibetans, I basically pick quotes from common Hans for balance.)

I don’t wanna comment this event please try to contact authors if someone wanna dispute with them. Because I’m han-Chinese and I also don’t live in Lhasa which is the capital of Xizang province.

But I can tell you the minority has favourable policies in China because I have ever lived and studied in the North-east of China and my classmates and some who I knew are minorities.

Maybe I have been regarded as CCP plant becasue of what I said. But you know many Chinese love China just like American love America because China is our motherland.

I wonder how much the figures have changed from then until now ...
