Hmmmm.... when I fed what I just wrote back into Babelfish it comes out pretty strange.... ah, well, I just wanted Richard Gere to go and put flowers in the gun barrels of Chinese soldiers, since that's what our leftists like to do.....
Google translate is much better. If google translate and my knowledge of Chinese characters is anything to go by you made your point. Hence my laughter :)

Have you told this person that the translations are pretty rough and don’t express her thoughts very well? And the same must be true when she translates our words back?

Thanks, yes, it comes out better in Google translate -- glad to know about that (wow, Google is into everything these days):

"People in Tibet are very unhappy. I hope Richard Gere sent to live there, but he did not seem to want to go, otherwise the Chinese government may not allow it. If Richard Gere may live there and then he put flowers in the barrel may be just the Chinese soldiers and asked them to go home

[not exactly idiomatic English but it does give an approximation of what I was trying to say!!]
