Tibet, protests are they freedom fighters or terrorists?

Are the protesters, freedom fighters or terrorists, you know once upon a time, the British called the people at the Boston Tea party trouble makers. The Mings thought Li Zicheng as an illegitimate usurper and bandit but is portrayed as an early revolutionary against feudalism by the P.R.China.

So are the normal Tibetians who are protesting in China trouble makers or people who have had enough of Chinese rule.
Very nice chankljp, but you should hear some of the Chinese anti-Japanese anti-foreign rantings. Anyhow if you have any proof that the CIA are still funding todays riots please show us.

My source, living in China and have visited other counties and cities in the asian world.

‘One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.’
- Raoul, ‘Die Another Day’

In my point of view they are nothing more then terrorist that use this opportunity to kill, burn, rob, and destroy things. China does not negotiate with terrorist, the government should ‘explain’ this to them.

Of course there is another view point. People in the CIA-backed anti-China, pro-theocratic “Free Tibet” campaign will say they are freedom fighters.

Excerpt from a discussion board on Facebook:

‘We will destroy China and its population with a massive nuclear barrage. The northern half of the Chinese eastern seaboard will be reduced to wasteland, Hong Kong and Hainan will be smashed into thousands of tiny islets, any major population centers will also be nuked to exterminate all Han Chinese infestation. In the aftermath, cities in China will rebuilt by the Eastern Turkistan-Tibet Alliance as giant slave labor camps and factory complexes.’

There are always different views… and that is the reason there is politics.

http://www.michaelparenti.org/Tibet.html

Just to avoid any misunderstanding, I am not saying that CIA funded todays riots. My point is that the US used to fund the Tibetan freedom fighter/terrorist in the past(the same way they did with the Mujahideen in Afghanistan back in the 1980s’).

I have read many anti-Japanese and xenophobic ranting from my fellow Chinese. I personally condemn them. But I have yet to meet a single Pro-Tibet independent internet user that is willing to debate me formally and academically.

I’m still waiting. My email account is open for anyone to accept my challenge. I can reply you in a few days.

Politics, how tiresome….

Edit 2:

bkk, since you are from England, please kindly answer this question:

Do you think of the IRA as freedom fighters or terrorists?

Edit 3:

The Dalai Lama said because Tibet has a different culture and language,therefore it should be independent from China. But how about Basquem and Catalonia in Spain? They also have their own unique history,language and culture. Why doesn’t Spain allow Basque and Catalonia to become independent countries?

Québec, Wales, Scotland, Corsia, Brittany, Aboriginal all have same situations. Why is China so different?

Excerpt from the New York Times:

“…the problem with Tibetan Buddhism resides in an obvious fact that many Western enthusiasts conveniently forget: the traditional political structure of Tibet is theocracy, with the Dalai Lama at the center. He unites religious and secular power — so when we are talking about the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, we are taking about choosing a head of state. It is strange to hear self-described democracy advocates who denounce Chinese persecution of followers of the Dalai Lama — a non-democratically elected leader if there ever was one. ”

Edit 4:

Well bkk, you made some very good points here. The reason I am calling the protesters ‘terrorists’ is because they are attacking all Han Chinese in Tibet, not just the military but innocent civilians as well. And that is what I consider unacceptable.

What is considered as terrorism in one society is considered freedom fighting in another. Conversely, the terrorists/freedom fighters could consider their enemies as oppressors, occupiers, or conquerors.

As for you question of what I am going to do if my country was occupied by a foriegn power. To be honest if there is a war breaking out on my door step, I will care more about my own life then to fight back. After all, you can’t enjoy freedom if you are dead. And if the new government is doing a good job in rebuilding the infrastructure, running the economic, and keeping the streets safe then I am most likely going to just accept the situation.

Alright, so I’ve been looking for a bit of a sport bike. I’m a 18 year old girl and I’ve been riding on a 95 honda magna(dad’s old bike..he moved up to a harley) and it’s not really my cup of tea.
