In the light of international criticism on China's handling of the Tibet issue, Chinese all over the world are supporting China's Olympic Games and putting a "Love China" on their MSN. I have joined in the campaign for the following reasons:
(1) China has been humiliated by the western nations after the Opium War. Today China has come a long way to be strong again. I resent any more bullying by western powers.
(2) The Olympic Games is about peace and sportsmanship.
(3) Think about it, Tibet is not a new issue. Why are the protest voices suddenly so audible when the Olympics is drawing near?
While I am for greater freedom for Tibet, I am against the politicising the Olympic Games.
