China vs. Tibet with the rest of the world

Clever buggers aren't they!

China has now managed to create a fantastic propaganda opportunity. It hosts the Olympics and every nation around the world is shown effectively arresting or silencing Tibetan protesters.

So now can you imagine the scenes on Chinese TV - Britsh and now French protesters being arrested, of course that means that China is right - that Tibetans should just shut up. m You see Tibetan people now Britain and France have arrested people it is ok for us to do it.....

So it is a bit of a pickle.

Next stop is the blame game. Well China of course is at the bottom of all this, but then again lets not forget that Western views always favour the smaller oppressed guy against the giant monolith.. David and Goliath appears to always be a favourite with the media. For this reason I am staying well away from the whole China vs Tibet thing. (yes I know this is all to do with it but I am focussing on the way it has been construed and how it could be used by China)

So next to blame is the IOCC - who decided that China should have a shot at the Olympics, despite poverty on record scale, despite mass pollution and despite their controls on the media (only recently the BBC website has been "allowed" by Chinese authorities, perhaps they knew that the Tibet protest were coming and knew what reaction the Western police would have to take!!)

So the IOCC goes and sticks the Olympics in turmoil and then just does nothing - puts no real pressure on China and just allows all this to happen. I personally cant wait for the games, will be a waste of time really though as every television network will use it as an excuse to film "expose" documentaries.... They might be interesting though

Probably more interesting than the games themselves.
