- Tibetan monks 'surrounded' by Chinese troops
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  Chinese troops fired tear gas at Tibetan monks protesting Chinese occupation of Tibet and later surrounded their monasteries. Is the growing spotlight on Tibetan independence a positive result of granting the Olympics to China or has this been a major mistake? Perhaps you've read about athlete's worrying about air pollution at the games, the U.S. importing their own meat to avoid the steroids laden in Chinese food, China's alleged mistreatment of migrant workers working on Olympic sites and its efforts at building a road to Everest base camp for the torch relay.

We Chinese don’t know what really happened there, so please send more pictures. Government closed all the news out to other provinces.
You should be responsible for what you wrote. We need more detailed information from there, thank you.

You guys better shut-up about China or else no more money for the war.
Thats right, Bush is China’s ***** because they lend the US money for the war.
Good luck getting the major news outlets to talk anything bad about China other than what the State Department allows them to say.

It’s a disgrace that our gov’t ignores this travesty. Thanks for all you do.

I think the IOC has failed to put parallel pressure on China to improve its human rights and environmental record ahead of the summer games. Granting China the games without having a plan to pressure them on specific reforms has turned into a major error. I suspect the games will turn into quite a fiasco.
