Olympics (Video Collection)

Seems like a good idea to have something topical as I return to my blogging ways here on The Red Flames of Revolution. We’ve seen all kinds of riots in recent days, protestors complaining about killing in Tibet. Is it a legitimate dispute, a cleverly executed strategy by foreign or national governments, or is it merely an excuse for the flint to be lit between Western and Eastern cultures? We’ll start with the most recent, this is San Francisco, pretty much now.

Next up a fight in the water fountain in London on April 6th.

According to Western media the incidents weren’t reported on Chinese television. Here it is on Chinese television.

The following day it was the turn of Paris.

A more detailed look at this after the break.

Here we’ll let both sides play out their side of the story. First up is the Chinese approach which focuses on the rights that China have to Tibet and and is certainly compelling.

And the response from Free Tibet, the classic ‘argument from birthright.’
