But there is a serious difference between your people and mine: In Germany, it is part of our mentality that a friend has to point out your mistakes and speak openly with you from time to time. People from other countries, especially from Asia, consider this to be rude. I think tough love is the only true love. I love speaking openly, and I honour people for speaking openly. An upright human beeing who cannot take another man's truth is - in my eyes - not an upright human beeing. I also have no problem with explicit language. Sometimes, you gotta spice up an issue and polarize, in order to save people from dying of boredom.
So if you read criticism on your gouvernment about certain stuff, you must understand that this is meant as an advice, not as an insult. I consider the chinese people and culture as to be one of the most fascinating and admirable ones. But there are certain things that are totally fucked up in China. And Tibet certainly is one of those things.

Ok, As your empressement, I have to say sorry to you !
Perhaps there're some impertinence to you in my words!
But according to my experience, many weseterners in this bord
have many prejudice on Chinese people and government!
They made we Chinese almost have no patience to discuss with them!
We ever thought that Chinese and westerner could discuss many
many thing , but when we expressed our views, they would shouted at
us as a czar ,such as "You have been brainwashed, Chinese guys!",
"You are propagandizing as your government!"! What we could say?
You westerners have enough reason to shut up our mouth, close the
door of communication, left only voice of westerners!
What many westerners have done only used to ignoring voice of Chinese
people!This is fact!
We won't shut up!We must let you westerners hear our China's voice!
We come here unpromptedly to discuss with westerners!We only want westerners
know what Chinese people are thinking and feelings of Chinese people!
In many areas, wesaterners's views are different with Chinese views!
But we could discuss them , if you are right, we will accept them!
If we are right, you could also accept us!
But don't educate us as a teacher!We are facing the same world,nobody
have right to think he (she) is more right than others!
And nobody have right to think their environment is more democratic
or free than others!
If you agree my above opinions, we have chance to discuss many many
things, and we can be friends!
But if not, I have to talk rubbish here and there!
About Tibet, all we Chinese won't give in, you may try to dicuss with
more Chinese!More and more Chinese you dicuss with, you will find the
fact!I am only normal one of Chinese people!
(friendly smile)
================================================== =======
In fact ,Chinese is same with German!we also consider that frankness between friends
is the most important!
