Tibet and China enter a bar.... only one of them will get out alive, obviously

As many of you probably have been reading , the chinese government finally has decided to show its real face. Shooting in the crowds, using tear gas ,tanks and lorry to scatter protesters. This is Tiananmen, but in the era of the internet : more information :

From what information anyone can gather from newspapers and news agencies across the world, we have dozens of death in tibet at the moment. Troops wander the streets and foreigners are banned from circulating freely . Our main concern here, on chinesedissidents.blogspot.com, is freedom of speech and there is no more evident attack on it than uniformed stormtroopers in the streets of a supposedly free state. What can you do to help the people from Tibet ?

We started this blog about a month ago, we showed our concern two months ago. The crisis is ongoing and we do not know when it will stop. Although, some would argue, it started when the PRC invaded the kingdom of Tibet.One thing remains sure : the PRC has decided to show its true self to the international community, in the era of the mass media, how little information is allowed to go through the Chinese media sift is fascinating. Are we westerners stopping ourselves from learning more on this because we don't want to be disturbed by the thought of Tibetans being mown down, when expecting our nice and entertaining olympics ?

Actions and protest marches are being organised around the world. The main point of interest here is that the olympic torhc is crossing the United Kingdom and the United States in the next 2 months. We'll be providing information on any different actions.

More soon....
