The other governments of the world could ignore protests in their own countries as simple run of the mill typical "nothing to worry about" demonstrations ... don't worry china, there'll always be a few students foaming at the mouth ha ha ... now about that trade agreement ... ".

But they now have a moral imperative to speak out. If there is ganocide and the world says nothing it will be the bigger crime than the murdering.

I think this is the hope of the Tibetan youth.

The world was talking about tibet, but doing it in an academic objective way.

The youth are saying "this isn't a jaw exercise for right on students, this is our home and our life - we are suffering and under occupation and desperately want help.

Please don't brush us under the carpet.

If you do we may as well be dead anyway so bollox to restraint.

what is China going to do?
