To the crowd of “if china is so great, why so many people leave china…., has any one claimed that china in general is greater than US and West europe? Even in the greatest country in this world, people still leave for whatever reason. I am glad so many Chinese spreaded to the rest of the world, so they can see the true face of the western countries and fight against all the injustice against chinese.

China has a lot of problems, you can bash China or make fun of China all the way you want, but at the end of the day China is geting better and better.

Those anti-China people or group crazily mix politics with Beijing game,it only hurt themselve at the end,makes all differnet ethnics in China be more united,they are fighting an uphill,losing and un-necessary battle with China. USA,stop killing people in Irap,is this human right???France:try your best to let your masses to have a better material life in order to keep pace with other EU nations. China knows how to govern this country.

I have lived and worked in China since 2006, and have a Chinese girlfriend.

I dont always like government policy, and dont always agree with it. But China cant be compared to other countries. Ignore the recent development. Ignore the common talk about China’s rise as a super-power. And when you ignore these things, then you can ignore some of the Western ideas we have for how China should be.

As far as Tibet, I dont know many Tibetans, but I would be fairly sure that most Tibetans, like most Chinese, dont care about preserving culture, they just want a TV, a home, education, and to dream of owning a car. These things we all take for granted is all many simple Chinese (and probably Tibetans) dream of.

The preservation of culture is something we want, we in the West, and something the rich Tibetans in exile already have. Common people probably dont share these ideas. Even ignoring the oft ridiculous rheotoric from the government, I think most people at grass roots level only want to improve their simple lives. Its easy for us to deny them that from our lofty positions.

And despite the parties faults, and I see many, every day. How should one govern 1.3 billion people? With total freedom and access to everything? Impossible here!

Millions and millions of Chinese live below the world poverty line. Just as many millions cannot speak any Mandarin Chinese. And just as many who can speak Mandarin Chinese, cant speak to each other as they dont understand each other!

When you live at grass roots level here, away from the big cities, you see how life really is. All these freedoms and ideals that we impose or wish for China are still decades and decades away.

They have systems of belief in modern culture that mean we should throw away the rule book when trying to suggest ways to improve their lot.

I have also lived in rural Africa, and in my experience, many elements in their poverty led society are still years ahead of China. Ignore the money, a developed country is about the people and the way they think, and live their day to day lives.

I dont think China will ever truly be a developed country in my lifetime, there is still far to much work to be done, but we cant see past the financial side of development.

And to complete the African comparison, the HIV/Aids timebomb is still ticking here, and I predict it will explode in the next 10-20 years.

You cant give freedom here, and all the things we associate with democracy in the West. The people just arent ready for it, maybe the next generation will be, but certainly not yet.

The Government here has so many faults, so many. But I feel they are stepping in the right direction.

And China hasn’t been one-sided? The television is basically telling the Chinese to hate Tibetians and Uilgers. Do you ever consider that maybe the Tibetians don’t want these schools or buildings that China has given them?

We call Tibet “Xi’zang Autonomous Region” in chinese. That means the top officer, the president of the Autonomous Region, must be a Tibetan. If Dalai did not rise and leave China, it is every probability of his life, to be the Vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference as a patriotic Tibetan leader. But he did not settle for that, he wants to keep his top prerogative in Tibet not only in religions but also in politics. Do you know his prerogative before 1959 as a slave-owner? He could use things made from slaves’ bone and skin,and he still uses these nowdays. What he said is the law in Tibet. People called him “Huofo” that means living God in Chinese. What he did recently is for getting back the top power in Tibet,not for the people in Tibet.The monks in tibet we call them “the Mi denomination”, they do not like monks in most of China as “the Chan denomination”. They were cleared away from Tibetan goverment at the separation movement of church and state in 1959. Some of them became religiosity monks just like Banchan Lama, the 2nd spiritual leader in Tibet.But some of them still thirst for kaiserdom. They kill have a reason, for political profit.

You said Han Chinese moving to Tibet making a once mountainous region into a commercial city destroying Tibetian culture and trying to assimilate it into Chinese culture. It is ridiculous! Is it happy to you that Tibet be a poor blindness and people starve to death every year only for being a original culture museum for your westen people? If it is true, where is the Indian culture in the U.S? You really do not care what is Tibetan wanted! They want live better like a free men, not slaves. In China, if you want to go some provinces or Autonomous Regions,you can go freely. Tibet has good environment, better salary and prosperous tourism.

I think the soul of civilization is to syncretize. We have a long history, more than 1200 years, on this.
Human Rights? What beautiful words! The people talking about China’s HR should be the 1,300,000,000 chinese, including Tibetan. Arresting some monks, becase they killed or injured people and breaked the law. It is right in every civilized country.

I love China more my life and allow nobody hurt her, becase this is the place we called home,becase we keep our peaceful life and make it better only under her asylum. Stop haughty Prejudice, it will injure both!
