Dear Editor:
I was and am very very upset to read the article about
Tibetan situation in yesterday's daily collegian. As far as I know, the
situation in Tibet is a riot rather than a so-called "parade". The
rioters killed so many innocent peoples, one of them is just a
five-year-old kid. I don't think any country in this world will allow
this kind of riot without any response. I think the one who should be
blamed is not Chinese government, it is the RIOTERS! I do not know
where did the author get all those informations, and I strongly
recommend him (her) to talk with someone from China before writing this
kind of article. There are almost one thousand Chinese students
working or studying in UMASS Amherst, I am sure everybody will be very
happy to tell him(her) why Tibet is part of China, and what's the real
situation in Tibet now.
Again, I am very upset of The Daily
Collegian for publishing such an extreme article without further
investigations. I believe that gave most of the Chinese students,
faculties and staffs a very bad impression of The Collegian Daily.
Best

Dear editors,

I am writing to address a problem about your 3/31 news about Tibet:

http://www.dailycollegian.com/home/index.cfm?event=displayArticle&ustory_id=afc4646e-7c8e-447b-af0d-22766fdf5e09&page=2

Obvious bias and missing of information

makes me really angry about your news. Being the most influencial
newspaper in Umass and also New England colleges, I respect a lot of
your work, completeness of report and political justice.

However, this article disappoints me greatly by speaking

completely for one side!!! Your news ignores the fact that the crisis
in Tibet has complicated history background and this issue cannot be
simply viewed just from some limited voices, newspapers, especially
CNN. If you just go to youtube.com you'll find tons of other side of this crisis.

So, please interview more people, more voices before you write

those articles. Even if you don't mean to select a specific political
part to join, you already offended a lot of Chinese students and
scholars by the ridiculous INFORMATION ASYMMETRY!

Sorry if my words displease you. I just want you to understand how

we feel about this article and our country. I don't want to argue with
you who is right and who is wrong here, because it's a long story and
it's a story involves too much conspiracy we may not know and convince
each other. Also, I don't want to say, it's our own business and no
country is qualified to judge since it's an open world, and everyone
could speak his own opinion.

Therefore, my opinion is, you should let people know more about China, and Tibet problem. BUT PLEASE, keep your elementary EQUITY, which is the BASIC JOB of newspaper and media industry.

Thanks for reading.

Cheers,

From Leo Gao:
Having spent my Ph.D period at Amherst, I know what a liberal place
Amherst is and I have also talked/debated with many of tibetan fellows.
But this matter is everything but being liberal!!!


A simple fact an one year (maybe not one but five I suppose) old
kid could see China has brought Tibet from slavery to modernization,
the majority of the people are better off now. Many (or most) of people
who now reside oversea and make fuss on the issue because they were the
slave owners and the noble group and deprived of their previlige. The
others are some idealists and naive and simple-minded people who don't
really know much about the history but told and used by those people
with agenda. It is absurdly funny and sad to see so many kind and
innocent western people to stand with them without efforts to knowing
the truth/history behind the matter.


I have had understanding/sympathy for Tibet. And I have to admit
that there is much to be improved from the Central Gov part. Having
said that, I feel this free tibet movement is nothing but absurd. I am
completely appalled and DISGUSTED by the current move from oversea
"so-called" Tibetan and the sheer media distortion on it. For the first
time in my life, I have so be with the central Gov on the issue. If I
may give some of you a pieace of my mind, in particular those media
professions if you consider yourself (qualified?) as one of them, do
your homework and know what you are talking about before you
speak/comment on a matter of such gravity. Or simply Keep one's mouth
shut instead of showing the ignorance.

厉害啊~~~

well, my intial response to the western media propoganda on the Tibet issue was as furious as yours, I basically hate people pointing fingers without facts, or worse yet, with bad facts.

then I thought again, what the hell, I said to my myself, what about the China media controlled by the communist party's iron grip? And what about the way the government treats/abuses its own people? Haven't they executed enough ever since they took power in 1949? They turned the country up side down and 50 years later, the leaders and their descendents ended up being on top of the food chain, isn't that ridiculous?

Chinese people is the best of people in the world. But the communist regime in China is the worst of worst.

at the end of the day, I am cool.

Your points are well taken. Nonetheless, I suppose we shall not mix orange and apple, right? The fact(let's suppose it is true) that CCP is bad doesn't mean it is always wrong/bad, right? We(at least I) aren't with the Gov/CCP on every issue  and it has to be looked at case by case. For some, we take a stand while the others we give a laugh and let it go.  BTW, as for whether the CCP is the worst of the worst, as far as I am thinking, it is a debateable question but bear some true element there, what do you think? Any party or country/Gov you could think of is not bad or evil in one way or another?....and what would be your solution to China(let's say we can get rid of CCP tomorrow)?
