Quote by xiaodicksex-selective infantcide has exisited far before the existence of the communist government in China.
This is most likely due to chinese traditions where only the males would carry the family name.

No, it isn't that way. It could had been true in some parts of China, but it doesn't make sense to kill girls if you're allowed to have as many children as you will.

In that case, that is valid for almost everywhere, the most children you have, the more secure your future elderly age is. The girls would work at your home or help at your parcel while they're under marry age. And the most boys you have, the better.

But if you'r cornered to have only one child... bad luck for the unwanted girls.

It's a cruel fact: China's goverment one-child-per-family policy kills baby.

Quote by xiaodickFrom what I have heard, all this protests have made the China chinese hate the western people and it doesn't seem to change the stance the China people had on Tibet. I have also heard that they (the angered china people) are planning to boycott western products and Carrefour.

Well, it wasn't supossed to make them happy. Even more if that hate is encouraged by the authorities and the official media.

WE, the other countries that have been suffering economic and job losses becauce of China's piracy should be making boycott to China's products.

Blind hate? No. Here in different cities of Mexico a Chinese comunity is being built. They're new. They're welcome. I have Chinese neighbours.

But the Chinese goverment is quite other thing. Here in Mexico, mostly Catholic, we have an important icon, which is the image of the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe. That supernatural image has lasted nearly 500 years. The Chinese goverment copyrigthed it.

We in Yucatan have a traditional dish, called cochinita pibil. Copyrigthed in China.

We also make an elegant shirt called guayabera. In the U.S. they only accept guayaberas made in Yucatan, Mexico. But they have flood other international markets with fakes.

That's the picture.

no i don`t protest it.i even hate the people who protest it.Common it just an Olympic.There`s no point to to protest it

Please put your anti-china feelings aside for a moment, or you might not be able to get my point, Thank you.

You have a point that it doesn't make sense, but that may be not in the case to a Chinese (the ancient china one in particular, and chinese born and living in other places don't count) it is unfortuante to say that the particular bunch of chinese might think this way..

"why should I spend my resources on raising a child that would not take care of me in the future?"

it is unfortunate to say that not all ancient chinese loved their daughters, and see daughters as burdens.

it is also important to note that Chinese living in different places are different from each other in the way they think etc.. I did say that the chinese living around me are quite different from those in China, US etc..

what I had just mentioned may sound screwed to you, but the China people think differently from the people of your race and That's the picture.

is it possible to boycott China products? lots are things are made in china these days.

and it seems that the China people had began their protest against carrefour various parts of China. an outlet in the eastern city of Hefei has its entrance blocked by protesters using trucks.

the Chinese government do not need to do anything to make the chinese angry over the torch relay protests, they are educated to naturally response that way.

it seems to me that the torch relay protests seems to be nothing more the protesters venting their anger against the Chinese rather that to drive a message of freeing Tibet. It seems that the chinese are now more intent of keeping Tibet a part of China. the torch relay protesters might have just did what the chinese government had wanted.

oh, and the China people might think this way "China is trying to unify itself, but the westerners are trying to split China up, they are attacking China, they are harming China."

The protests against China has only fueled Chinese nationalism amongst overseas Chinese. As a person living far far away from China, I can say that the Chinese sentiments here and among neighboring countries are that the western media is going all out on its China bashing by capitalizing on the Tibetan issue and aren't happy about it. We are looking forward to the Beijing Olympic games being held on our ancestral motherland and the acts of the protesters and the harping of the Western media only consolidates the sentiments of majority of Chinese around the globe.

We Chinese, overseas or not, might not be able to read or speak our mother tongue (and we definitely do not access Chinese government-controlled media) but we do feel resentment against the trouble-maker opportunists who try to ruin an event that is looked forward to every four years. And look at how the protesters tried to mob a disabled Chinese athlete (wheelchair-bound) acting as torch bearer. A lot of Chinese are disgusted by that and to an extent, the protests which looks more like intentional rabble-rousing than one championing the Tibetan cause.

The issue of Tibet and China is ages old. Why not do protests in the past? Why keep quiet and wait until now? To give celebrity level publicity to it and especially the protests only when the Olympics is around only serves to reinforce the idea of "humiliation of the Chinese race" on the world stage. Go target the governments during leaders summit like the G8 summit or something like that (one where only the governments are involved). Targeting the Olympics that holds the dreams of every Chinese means targeting the not only the government AS WELL as its people. Take note that the term Chinese not only denotes nationality. It also refers to race, culture and history. Hence, we are not bound by geographical boundaries like how the Americans, British, French, etc do in terms of coming together on a single issue. Targeting the wrong event can have widespread repercussions.

IMO, sports is sports and is a complete, separate isue from politics and sovereignity.

wonder why ppl are so worked up over this and i do admit that i am a chinese, albeit born and raised overseas.

I do understand the oppression suffered by the Tibetans as I went and am going through it now( the government did it in a subtle way).

Let the Olympics carry on peacefully, it only takes place every 4 years and is a place for athletes to compete for the honours of their country.

I find it laughable that a great deal of the protesters around the world were white. In most rallies one could spot a few Buddhist monks, but they were usually in the minority. They at least have a closer connection to the issue and therefore more of a right to act accordingly.

Frankly, people should not be demanding that foreign nations relinquish control over their own territory. Whenever I mention this I get a heated response referring to the invasion and takeover of Tibet by China in 1950. However it is often forgotten that Tibet had belonged to China during the 18th century on up until the nation was sliced apart by brutal European imperialism. It must also be remembered that China has a history of deep political fragmentation with numerous "warlord eras" (even as recent as the 1920s). Political elites in China are aware of this, and fear descending into another such era above all else. If they let Tibet go, other discontented ethnic groups (such as the Uyghurs) might rise up and the ensuing chain reaction would tear political unity asunder.

It seems that the Olympic Torch protesters neglected to take a look at Chinese history, as well as doctrines of Buddhism. These stipulate, perhaps above all else, a renunciation of violence. However, some protesters who were supposedly acting in the name of the Tibetan independence movement, which is closely linked to the Buddhist faith, utilized violence. The most well known example was during the Olympic rally through France during which the torch-bearer (a wheelchair bound amputee name Jin Jing) was attacked and injured, though not seriously, by a protester who made it through the police line. The rally was repeatedly pestered by people trying to grab and douse the flame. This violent action constituted a blatant contradiction with what the protesters were supposedly standing for. Further argumentation against the protests came from the Dalai Lama himself who was publicly against them.

These protests were not only wrong for the aforementioned reasons but also because of the disservice they did to the Chinese people. China deserves the Olympic Games as well as the glory which should come along with them. The Chinese people have put a great deal of effort into this event and take a high degree of pride in it. Their efforts and sentiments do not deserve to be trampled upon by outsiders who are protesting against the actions of the Chinese government from a point of view which neglects to take into account the history of the region.
