Some of them were JAPANESE JOURNALISTS who the Chinese dont want filming such things, and they were arrested and had the crap beat out of them for trying to show this internationally, and damage China's image.
I swear, this whole Olympic farce is going to come down like a wobbly stack of cards.
Why the world decided Beijing is beyond me. The Chinese are in for one MASSIVE international loss of face over this. It wont be pretty. But their government (not their people) deserve it.
They are on pins and needles and are going to overreact, and foreigners there are going to be caught up in it. They are going to make themselves look like fools on the international stage.
“Some of them were JAPANESE JOURNALISTS who the Chinese dont want filming such things”
That doesn’t surprise me in the least. The Chinese had to arrest someone after those attacks, even if they are innocent.
AND another fairly strong earthquake this morning in the same region as the last. If those big dams come down, they won’t know how to divide their attentions.
