We, The People.

The following is from BBC news online, a post of Chinese people's perspective on the protests of the Olympics. For me it shows an educated voice of reason and the general cencensus of many Chinese people all over the world.

Zhongze Chen, 25, Student, Hefei, China.
"Like many others in China, I am really saddened and enraged by the chaotic scenes in London and Paris.The failure of the French government to protect the torch in Paris has already aroused an outcry amongst Chinese people in cyberspace. Dozens have posted suggestions of French brands that should be boycotted in response. I agree that our country does have human rights problems. For example, there is a general lack of freedom. With regard to Tibet, I don't support everything our government does - and have even posted apologies on YouTube following events in 2006. But those protesters should wait until a more appropriate time to take a stand. I e-mailed Reporters Without Borders to say I support their cause - but they are choosing the wrong time to take a stand. The demonstrators are in danger of making an enemy of everyone in China. We are very excited and proud about the Olympics. I really hope they will be harmonious and magnificent. The best outcome would be improved communication between people inside and outside China - with the Games helping to reduce fear of foreigners within the nation".
