Social Crisis in China

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7308890.stm http://www.hrw.org/english/docs/2008/03/24/china18334.htm

Nowadays, there is an important social crisis in China between Han Chinese and Tibetans that everyone must take a look rapidly in order to reach as soon as possible a compromise between those people before it is too late. Briefly, what happening now is, since the 20-century, the China government and the Tibet ethnic group has signed an agreement that recognized Tibet as a part of the Chinese territory. Unfortunately, the Chinese government who not only centralized all the authority but also wants to vanish the Tibetans group and take their land by using violence has not longer respected this accord. Therefore, with no respect to the agreement, which had been signed by a common consent, the Tibetans groups are trying to reclaim their autonomy by also using whatever way they can to achieve their objectives.

I believe that, violence would be eradicated for whatever way it goes. In a society regulated by rules, communication is still the best language. I condemn people who used violence to oppress others like the Chinese government because it is everybody’s right to reclaim what belongs to them.

In conclusion, we cannot talk about a human right insofar as it doesn’t exist for certain people the right to express the way they feel, the way they think. For instance, I suggest that all those people who violate the human fundamental rights as well as the Chinese government would be severely punished according to the Law.

I do really appreciate your point when you praised communication and compromise as the best means to settle down the current situation in China. I believe that only peaceful negotiation could solve such kind of problems. Yet, I don’t see any reason why China should be punished by the international law for Tibetans harassment. At least, it is not the convenient time to take such procedures against China. Moreover, we should bear in mind that this country was elected among many other nations to host the Olympic games since it proved to be the most convenient place - socially, economically, Politically- to host the Olympic games of 2008. So, although I agree that Tibetans should defend their culture and freedom, I think that neither the time nor the place give them the right to look for that now. I even wonder how do these people who have been always known by their peaceful tendencies, dare to cease an opportunity such as the Olympic games to express their rebellions and anger. What is important is not their rights as much as the rights of the spectacles who are going to attend the games, to feel safe and comfortable during the shows.

I agree with you too. Actually, when talking about the Chinese government, it has something as same as in Vietnamese government. I understand why the Tibetans want to has their own independence. They need to be freedom, to be treated fair with their religion. Yes, it's true because everyone always wants to live in peaceful life. Hopefully, the Chinese government will make a good deal for the Tibetans.
