The London Times is reporting that Chinese Police killed eight protesters.
Chinese paramilitary police killed eight people and wounded dozens more when they fired on a protest by several hundred Tibetan monks and villagers, The Times has been told.
Protests against China’s Tibet policy are becoming more frequent, and now, more bloody. Meanwhile, the Chinese media won’t stop talking about mistakes and bias in Western media. CNN and some German media outlets made mistakes while reporting about the Tibet riots. Wrong pictures and captions were used in some cases. Despite this news being weeks old, it still plasters cable news and front pages of newspapers.
The China Daily reported Saturday that over one million people have signed a website against Western media bias. Among the comments on the website, the China Daily reports, is “Full support to the Chinese government in safeguarding national unity.” Where’s the national unity in killing protesters and retaining control over territories that want to be free? Physically, maybe, opinion wise? No unity there.
