Re: Olympic torch relay descends into chaos, April 8.

It was with great dismay that I read of the turmoil surrounding the Olympics torch relay.

The pro-Tibetan protesters efforts at disrupting the Beijing torch relay in various cities such as London and Paris is such a disgrace to the spirit of the Olympics. And it is a sad reflection on the behaviour of supposedly civilized people.

The disgraceful interruption of the Olympics torch relay through cities cannot be justified on the basis of what is called the 'Chinese crackdown in Tibet,' writes Maureen Fiori.

The disruption of the relay cannot be justified by what is often cited as "Chinese crackdown in Tibet" in which the Chinese authorities strove to prevent more of the damage by the Tibetan mobs that had already caused extensive property damage and the deaths of several Chinese citizens including five girls burned in a fire.

The human rights abuses in China often cited as a reason to boycott the Beijing Games should be looked at in relation of abuses currently occurring in other parts of the world such as by the Americans at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, or the torture that exists in many countries such as Syria and Saudi Arabia.

What is happening in China today would pale in comparison to the abuses of the African slave trade supported by most Western nations that only ended in the mid-1800s.

In Canada, we need to look no further than the abuses of native people at the residential schools to remember that our own record of human rights is not all that clean.

Sure it would be nice if all countries treated its own citizens and others within their control fairly but it is not fair to single out one country for criticism simply because it is about to host the next Olympic Games.

在目前这不现实；甭说加国主流报纸，连北京的官方媒体，都不敢像写信者那样，在任何一个版面发表理直气壮正面谴责美加不光彩人权记录的文章。

作者这样写，是要具有反潮流勇气，作好被更多洗脑者误解指责怪怨之思想准备的。

“是这话，所以没啥好高兴的”——此话不完全对。看到“白求恩精神”仍有闪光，给加拿大漫漫寒冬增添些许温暖，我们理应由衷高兴和心存感激。

这一主流媒体发表的“读者来信”，可成为周六集会争取更多加国民众理解同情的最好散发传单。

最不想看见的，就是再次把集会办成上次多伦多那种“自娱自乐”的形式。

不注重对加国公众思想沟通的任何活动，都是无效活动。

瞎说。
中国高等院校都在全文学习“2007年美国人权记录”。中国现在敢于针锋相对地同美国谈人权。

如有反例，劳驾举一下。这半个多月，全是一口咬住达赖的文章，我可从未读过一篇矛头敢于直指达赖幕后主子的媒体文章。

China is a convenient super villain

Re: Pro-Tibet disruptions of relay sad reflection on civilized people, April 9.

After reading the letter from Maureen Fiori, I felt a breath of fresh air in the current, ongoing discussions on the China-Tibet issue.

No doubt, the human rights record in China needs to improve, and China should open Tibet to the outside media as opposed to shrouding it behind a curtain of mystery and control.

Font:****Or perhaps China should let go of Tibet one day if it is proven that's what the majority of Tibetans want.

However, the recent events confirmed my view that people in the world, and, particularly in the media, are seeking a super villain to chastise and China conveniently fits the bill.

There has been a major lack of balanced views on the subject, and the recent disruption to the Olympics torch relay was, in my opinion, thuggery and mob behaviour.

When the Nepalese police clobbered the demonstrators in Nepal, China got blamed.

And when the Chinese students in Canada marched to show their side of the sentiment, the Chinese Embassy in Ottawa had to be behind that movement, before any proof was in place.

Worldwide media play a key role in informing the public on a specific issue. So far the public has been ill served.
