Human Rights worsen in Tibet since IOC award Olympic to China. Does China really care about the world?

Question

China promise IOC that they will improve human rights, freedom of press and lots of basic rights in China and Tibet. But they didn't keep their promise, they lied to IOC. There where more journalist in prison now then 2001. They faked the age of their Olympian, faked the singer mimicking girl at opening ceremony and faked the fire work just to show the world that they are great. They throw away thousands of Beijing resident from their home without compensating the land and money and who try to raise the voice sent to prison.

Answer 1

I think everyone should be very wary of China.  Human rights are bad and will only get worse the more powerful they become in this world.  They are no one's ally.

Answer 2

stop complaining

Answer 3

The beijing summer olympics is the time when the whole world's spotlight is on China. Because of the timing of the olympics and the popular media coverage along with it, some people wanted to use this chance to make the voice be heard to "break away" and gain independence.

FACTS: The western media have given a distorted coverage on the Tibetan riot problem. It made the problem appeared like the chinese government were sending in troops tyrannizing and persecuting tibetans rather than sending in troops to put out a riot that disrupts civil order that might eventually "lead to secession". Such riots that disrupts civil order is *breaking the law*, and any country have the rights to put out such riots because all countries have the *rights* over matters with their *internal affairs*.

Because of these distorted coverages by the western media and people's lack of historical knowledge regarding the Tibetan/China issue. People in the west received biased coverage by the media on China, on the Chinese government, and thus, the overall issue and automatically assumed this was about the Chinese goverment persecuting the Tibetan people. When in reality this is about chinese gov't putting out a large scale riot that have caused civil disrupts that might eventually lead to seccession. This distorted portrayal/coverage by the media and the lack of knowledge on the issue had created "a snowball effect" in the west where more and more people "followed the sheep herd" to join a protest over something that had no basis to begin with. The distorted coverage regarding China by the western media, people's lack of knowledge regarding Tibetan/Chinese history, and the snowball effect by the protestor's fanaticism is the main cause of this olympic controversy.

The imagery : "China's record of past human rights abuse" was an instrument created and falsely(overly exaggerated) portrayed by the western media became a sharp contrast to the *real human rights abuses (1 million civilian lives lost and countless interrogation methods inside detainee camps) that went behind the Iraq war was by-and-large gone unnoticed in the eyes of the American public. Bear in mind these human rights abuse that China have been accused of also happens in western countries.

HISTORICAL FACTS: China did not occupy Tibet. If you know Chinese/Tibetan history, then you will know China has the right over Tibet, [but giving Tibet it's autonomy],

Tibet was originally a *tributary state* to the Qing Dynasty, China, under the request of it's head lama. The current PRC of China is the legitmate inheritant of the last dynasty of China. Thus, what happened in the 1950's is not occupation, but it's securing its own territory, the original map of Qing (the last dynasty of China].

China has *legitimacy* over Tibet, but Tibet has the right to autonomy, thus it is called "Tibetan Autonomous Region" on the map.

Tibet can have autonomy; but not independence. Tibet is a part of China. China have fulfilled it's promise as previously made [in history] to provide economic support, protection, and development to Tibet. Acts of secession is considered breaking the law in any country in this world.

*The difference between a Chinese Tributary state and a colony is that the host state must provide development and support for the tributary and it's subjects retain their dignity, are treated as equal, as opposed to, a colony where its subjects are exploited.

This whole riot is about a large scale unrest that was *provoked* for secession.

It is time for these protests to stop, because the protestors have no basis for their protests and they don't "really" know what they are protesting about to begin with.

Answer 4

not a jot, but why should it?

Answer 5

Does China really care about the world? No. What makes anyone think they do? China thinks it is the best.

The Olympics is an invitation for the world to see how grand China is that's why they spent $50 billion.

Answer 6

I glad to see that most answers here are objective and educated.  Human rights did not "worsen" in Tibet since China staged the Olympics, as a matter of fact, terrorism did "worsen" as the Tibetan rebels attacked innocent civilians just to cause the Chinese government to lose face.  It's a disgrace.

China cares about Tibet, that's why they built the railway, so they can improve logistics, increase trade opportunities, and tourism for Lhasa.

Answer 7

A country cannot segregate itself from the rest of the world and hope to prosper. China has learned that, it is in no way ignoring the world, when it invites athletes from many different nations to come compete in the Olympics. It's in no way ignoring that by engaging in trade and commerce on an unprecedented level.

I hate how people compare human rights in China to human rights in America. You  must realize that China is a developing nation, whereas the United States is already developed. China is still in the past. America has locked up every Japanese American into camps, America supported slavery, Americans killed women and civilians during WWII.  

Answer 8

Iraq

(Tibet is part of China. Iraq is sovereign....so you decide.)

Answer 9

Isolationism.  Where a country does not care about matters outside it's own borders, it matters more about itself and ignores other nations.

America was like that up until World War II.  China is the same way.  Except America was a democracy and China is Communist, but hey.

Answer 10

No and DL is filthy liar. He has no stepped to Tibet since he's escaped cowardly in 1959 when he organized a CIA-coup to overthrow China's rule but he was brutally crushed.

He has no sense of knowing anything of Tibet now. Tibetans has live a happy but a difficult struggle life due to Han ethnicity's economic overtake. Economic freedom has worsened not human rights.  

Answer 11

no,

otherwise they wouldn't keep allowing things to happen in Tibet (even if it is part of their country)

or Darfur

Answer 12

human rights have gotten better in tibet under chinese rule. In the past you would have literally been a slave to the dali llama with a chain around your neck, no electricity and a for sale sign on your baby. China stopped this and freed the tibetan people. It's just that ex princesses have favor in hollywood and liberals think those robes are so hip. The are no better than the popes robes.  

Answer 13

no but all the foreigners cant wait to tell us about how the US media arranges our medal count...and Iraq....at least we try to feed clothe and educate the Iraqi people and are attempting to give democratic sovereignty to a people controlled by a soulless dictator...see what china is doing for tibet or even their own people

Answer 14

You should back your statement about the human rights has worsened if not it is really hard to convince me and I really don't get the rationale behind this question. I think you don't really care about the Tibet if you do please don't waste your time by asking such useless question and take some real actions.
