I actually came across the same video not long ago, the link is here:

I think this link will be faster than the HK one

Sometimes one has to admit how funny the westerner can be, In my view, the actual Tibetans live or death is not the real concern for them, but the value for they to explore such tragedies to blackwash China has made them so exciting about what’s happening.

Yup, exactly. I could imagine those attention whoring Western journalists having an orgasm when they heard about the Tibet riot. These hypocritical liars!

How to get reliable, fair and unbiased news when journalists and even tourists are banned from entering the region? Just like what happened during the recent Myanmar uprising.

The communists even imposed strict internet controls. The PRC are internet savvy.

Concreteshadow SG

Ya, if you have nothing to hide than there is no need to black out - right??

To get a fair judgement, we cannot rely on western media because they are a free media.

There is a difference between free speech and reporting stuff without any biased views.

Hence people need to look at both side media before making a judgement.

But strange I still can see the tibet riot news in the china websites.
China government of course advise foreigner not to enter Tibet because of the riots, there are many chinese civillians who get attacked simply because they appear on the street.

To be fair, not all western media are biased. But as far as I know, those from US, UK are definitely biased against China. When UK is ruling HK, the media also never urging British colony to give democracy to the chinese there. But after HK is returned, all the funny news suddendly pop up.

Gentlemen ... if you're wondering why the link on youtube.hk is slow ..... or some of the links on youtube.com is unaccessible from your place in china .....

and why your favourite youtube videos cannot be found, or can't even be accessed from the internet in china, especially the certain sensitive contents on youtube.com, ..... don't be alarmed ..... it's I presume, only a temperory ban by the chinese goverment ....

no worries ... hopefully, a proxy browser will allow you to view "objectionable contents" .... and that once this thing blow over, all will be well again ...

As Tibetan riots spread, China blocks access to youtube

before one starts screaming of it all being untrue .... just do a google search, and see thousands of websites reporting the same thing ....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Shield

so well ..... curious that some fellows are able to access youtube over there eh ? .... small wonder isn't it, if you can only see one side of the protests, of the "dastardly tibetans attacking hans" ... then racialism and nationalism would easily be stoked in you, no ? ...

some, of course, like the TS, would actually be overseas ... for the rest ? .... I'll let people draw their own conclusions ...

*update ... a friend of mine in beijing has just confirmed that he's unable to load some of the more "objectionable" youtube links i sent to him over msn .... and he cannot load the youtube hong kong website from there at all

Ya and the chinese govt tells the truth always and has never killed any tibetean.

Who the hell asked the chinese to go to tibetean streets to get killed?

And I am betting tht all of u forgot to remember when the chinese shot at monks who went to india and tianmen square and all other times kept under covers.

Look at the title of the report and the picture that accompanies it. Those are supposed to be Chinese police?

It reveals the true face of Western media and their frenzied obsession with besmirching the image of China. To achieve their purpose, they will do anything, including concocting reports, as shown both in the video referenced in the first post and the report whose link is provided here.

Of course for the sycophants whose lips are firmly placed on Uncle Sam's (metaphor for the West at large) buttocks, those lies are unquestionable truth. Boy, they so would bend backwards to rationalize such lies on behalf of their ideological masters.

Bigotry is an ugly thing up close when you read some posts here.

This is the most moronic, arrogant and childish question I have ever seen. Are tibetan streets known to have wild and vicious animals looming around waiting to kill?

Consider Tibet a place with great religious significance, your question is blesphemous.

u cannot completely trust report of both sides.

Tibet Riot 1 - http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=gX8e5MrBsnA

From 30sec clip, monks in red-yellow robes join rioters in attacking people in the street, destroying private properties and more...

Tibet Riot 2 - http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=h3rcSZ1GXKg

More looting, vehicles overturned and properties burnt (including a BOC office) At 3:15min clip, a passerby was attacked and one rioter attempt to stab him with a daggers-like weapon clearly visible. Luckly one fellow rioter stopped him from causing further harm....

Tibet Riot 3 - http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=HvJ_ksIz4Z0

Sight seeing after a riot. Mandarin speaker says "all worthy goods were stolen, those that are not or can't be looted were burnt..."

At 1:45 min, soldier or paramilitary police in a cab or private car pleading the driver to go faster (to hospital) as he attended to an near-unconcious person apparently hving difficulty in breathing. At 2:20 min, hospital stuff attending to victims with slash wound (Note no gun-shot wound). At 3:13min burnt-out fire-engine left behind on street. A survey of riot aftermath from a police vehicle and over view of the city. Reminds me of Jakarta 13 May 1998.

Tibet Riot 4 - http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=GMQNg2n11rI

More aftermath video and on-going fire. Firemen extinguishing fire while at 2:30min, some helplessly trying to salvage another of their burnt out fire-truck. Some portion looks like taken from CCTV with no audio feed. At 3min, same scene of unconcious person from Clip 3 and injured passerby.

"We must oppose Chinese policy but not the Chinese. Not on a racist basis.” , Dalai Lama in Mar'08

About the Chinese riot police, I notice aside from having armed with anti-riot gears, some are armed not with guns, but cameras. This is similar tactic used by UK law-enforcer during football match violence for future criminal identification.

Concreteshadow SG

China is also to be blamed as they expel all the reporters from Tibet

so those reporter have to resort to use similar photographs from Nepal to illusytrate their point-

otherwise they will use real photos taken in tibet-

Consider Tibet a place with great religious significance, your question is blesphemous.

I woudn't be surprised if you were a stauch chinese supporter.

Are tibetan streets known to have wild and vicious animals looming around waiting to kill?

What wud u do if one day u were run over by one country and they were killing off ur race?Would u welcome them with flowers when you they are there?

That's a no brainer.So what explains the calculated eradication of tibetians and filling it with chinese?

"Anti-CNN" website reflects Chinese people's condemnation

The website "www.anti-CNN.com " reflects public condemnation of some Western media's "distorted" reports of the riots in Lhasa, capital of China's Tibet Autonomous Region, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said on Thursday.

"It is purely spontaneous condemnation and criticism by the Chinese people toward some Western media's irresponsible reports which violated professional ethnics," Qin said at a regular press conference...

What’s the point u mentioned the country, when Tibet has never been an internationally recognized country historically? Shame on you even Marco Polo, the 1^st westerner went to China has duly mentioned Tibet, apparently because it belonged to part of Yuan Dynast territory where he was visiting. That’s some 1000 years ago, much longer than some modern western countries’ histories combined.

What killing? Under Dalai’s slavery SERF SYSTEM, Tibetans’ population never grew too much, yet after 1959, the population now is doubled to 2.6 million from 1.2 million under the Serf system. The number speaks itself, what genocide? When infant mortality in you favored Slavery Tibet is 460 per 1000, now is under 35 per 1000.

Yawning slogan and fabricating killing number do not make your CIA supported “Gov in-exile” any legal/moral high ground. Less than a quarter million Tibet offspring holding various foreign passports do not represent the Tibet with near 3 million people which is always under Chinese territory over thousands years.
