To be fair, when the US took over Texas, and forced them to choose to remain a Republic or we'd help Mexico take them over, there were people complaining THEN too

In other words, I don't see how I cannot practice whatever religion of my choice is behind the closed doors of my house. How would these prosecutors know? :-bBecause there are 'moles' and betrayers everywhere, including your own family sometimes. A lot of people DO manage to hide it and practice in secret, but some are betrayed by people they thought were fellow believers. And China does a lot of really awful things to people they catch. They usually torture them in horrible ways for days until they die

Well, my point, again, is: stop running around shouting "SAVE TIBET"; just go ahead and offer a random Tibetian monk to live with your family. It's within your power.
After all, I don't run around yelling, "Help poor starving furry artists". I just go ahead and quietly help them. It's much more productive that way. :-b
And awareness of Tibet had been risen, like, 10 years ago. Start doing something productive already!
Never said I'm always right; but thats how I feel. All these protesters could cease vocal oscillation of the local atmosphere already and start, like, actually doing something useful about the problem?
Technically, there's no 'proof' of agent provocateurs. There's also no evidence of significantly more deaths among protestors than police (I've noticed that many local newscasts skip how many police were killed) unlike Myanmar.
Yes, religions are 'banned' but the penalty isn't death. In fact, in modern China retaining religious artifacts, sayings, etc is not illegal until you use them as reasoning to violate laws (like public assembly, tithing, birth rate limitations, etc.)
Yeah, I don't like their suppression of free speech. But I also dislike the Christians and Falun Gong adherents saying they have a right to violate laws in order to practice their religion. I would not let them violate most of the same laws here.

As much as I don't like laws myself, the only law I ultimately stand for is, as my mom put it, "Your right to shake fists ultimately ends just a hair from the neighbor's nosetip."

The Tibet Freedom noise is ultimately targets disjointing the Tibet territory from China; it is promoted, used -AND- sponsored by those people who seek to make damage to this country. Yes, this also happened in Chechen Republic in couple of past years. One thing to always keep clear: the politics are making their own games, looking for the benefits for their own countries, and -NEVER- care of the people which they manipulate, in Tibet, Chechnya, or wherever else.

Китайские вояки, безусловно, суровы, но и не с котятами они там общаются.
