Tibet is becoming strategically and ideologically important…

In 1949, the American foreign ministry said that: “Tibet is becoming strategically and ideologically important. Since Tibet’s independence could help us in our fight against communism, it is in our interest to recognize it as an independence state instead of as a part of China. The Tibetan population is conservative, religious and ready to fight [...]

Occasionally, Truth Leaks Out

Most of the news reports about China’s ethnic minorities in the “free media” focus on the “tensions”, “unrest”, “discrimination”, “suppress”, “restrictions on religion”, etc. Is it true that ethnic minorities in China are living like in the hell?

MSNBC will be cancelled

OK. I lied but so does MSNBC.
Look at this.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31892617/ns/world_news-asiapacific/
MSNBC changed AP’s original title!! The original title is “China officials: Police kill 2 Uighur men”. And MSNBC changed it to “Chinese police kill 2 protesters; lawyers warned”.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090713/ap_on_re_as/as_china_protest
If these men are called protesters, we should expect the following title from MSNBC as well:
‘protesters in afganistan killed 4 [...]

Manipulation? How?

As a hobby photographer, I applaud to the skills of the journalist for taking the second photo.
As a news reader, I feel ashamed and disgusted for the journalist for distorting the truth.
As another example of media manipulation, Yahoo! News hosts a series of photos taken during the riots:

The first impression: 1) Almost all photos of [...]

How to Report Riots in China 1-2-3

This is a template for the “free media” journalists to cook any reports of violent riots in China.
. Call it a PEACEFUL PROTEST (or peaceful demonstration) against the Chinese government even though innocent people are killed, shops are mobbed, cars are crashed by the rioters. Do use the words like “protester”, “demonstrator”, “crackdown”. Do avoid [...]

I am sure that many of you, our readers, have read the news about riots happened in Xinjiang China. From what we’ve read from the “free media”, it looks like another “brutal crackdown” by the Chinese government. Yes, every riot is just a testimony of how the China dictatorship suppresses its people. This, is what [...]
