Welcome to Beijing.



Leehom's Olympic song: One World One Dream.



The lyrics of these songs are transpiring hopes of a better future for mankind. Yeaph... everything it's fine, everything it's perfect, but it is? Both lyrics and music are enchanting and inspiring as I said, but unfortunately we shouldn't forget about Tibet.

China people deserves to held the Olympics, not questions about it! What I'm questioning it's the communist party on power! Ultimately, they shouldn't benefit from this worldwide event, because they will transcend from the real meaning of the modern Olympic Games. These Olympics in all probability will be, the most contested Olympics in the modern Olympics' history, but in the other hand it will be the most magnificent Olympics ever held, if anythings goes smoothly as planned by the Beijing's regime. During the Olympics torch traveling around the world, the torch itself has met many protesters with their persisting voices of boycotting China's Olympics, but Beijing hasn't wavered an inch from reaching its final destination: to take the Olympics torch into the city of Lhasa (capital of Tibet), and in the very end Beijing made with this this symbolic gesture a proclamation to the entire world "Tibet is and will be part of China forever"

What sad conclusion for Tibetans ...their hopes have been crushed by the Olympic' spirit and by nationals' economic interests! All end here? No, I don't think so! Humanity has always rebounded (in a way or in an other) back from injustices, and Tibet with its people will too. Maybe, it will take time, a lots time, but eventually they will (see human's history). In the end, all kind of dictatorships have been defeated and Beijing's communist party won't be less...They will be crashed by humanity's history and judgment. Nothing is forever, no empire has lasted for good, and Beijing's despotical regime will met at last the same fate as the Soviet Empire, ostracized from history.

A bit of the Olympics' history from wikipedia.org:

The International Olympic Committee was founded in 1894 on the initiative of a French nobleman, Pierre Frédy, Baron de Coubertin. The first of the IOC's Olympic Games were the 1896 Summer Olympics, held in Athens, Greece.


The 5 rings Olympic's logo was designed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, in 1913, and it represent the continents of the Americas (North and South), Australia, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The rings are interlaced to show the coming together or meeting of the continents at the Olympics.

Let the games begin...Red.eVolution

P.S. On a personal note, I want once more to stress out: I have nothing personal with the Chinese people, I admire their culture and their history. China is a great nation with great people that has contributed to the human's history a lot. My quarrel is with those on charge of China's destiny which are hampering ideas and progress of a proud nation.

Tibet, a land in which with all the probabilities Tibetans will never get back!

In 1950 when, a 40s thousands strong men from the Mao Zedong's "People's Liberation Army" invaded the Tibetan's nation, and ravened systematically on the gentle and peaceful inhabitans of that country. Since then, a cultural genocide has taken a hold all over the Tibetan's land, a continuous perpetrating action by the dictatorial Chinese's regime. What was its aim back then, as well nowadays? A resolute mass annihilation and submissiveness of what has been (during the all Tibetan's history-lasted more then 20 centuries), "a land of peace and serenity".


After 60 years of blood and unspoken violence on the indigenous people of Tibet, the death toll (subsequently, to the Chinese brutal invasion) has approximately reached the 1.2 million, and more then a million of Chinese people has been helped by the government of the People's Republic of China to relocate and settle in Tibet, in an attempt to complete the colonization started in the 50s.

In 1991 the Dalai Lama alleged that Chinese settlers in Tibet were creating "Chinese Apartheid":

The new Chinese settlers have created an alternate society: a Chinese apartheid which, are denying Tibetans equal social and economic status in our own land, threatens to finally overwhelm and absorb us.

Still, the Tibetans don't want to fade away, to a forced colonization and assimilation inside the People's Republic of China and neither, to be relegated to a ghetto or worst, a reservation like the Indian nations in the United states. They want to keep their culture alive, they don't want to die out like the dinosaurs "in a mass extinction"!


The Tibetans, after a vainly pursue for a dialog with the Beijing's authoritarian regime, they have come to realize ultimately, that it's like one way dialog. While, the Tibetans are asking for a wishful autonomy, in the same time Beijing's abstruseness won't be listening to any of their fundamental pleas.They are not asking for a full independency anymore, as many times the same Dalai Lama as explicitly stated, but more likely an autonomy for Tibetans to protect their own culture. An autonomy similar to one of the two special administrated regions: either the Hong Kong region or, the Macao region. He has even declared in many interviews, that the Tibetans are a minority inside the Chinese nation and therefore, to accept Tibet as a part of China.

What more, Beijing wants?

Wasn't already enough for, the Beijing regime to have seized their nation and now, they are taking the identity of a distinctive and proud nation away, as well!!! What more, can they ask? Maybe, a full annihilation of the Tibetans as a race from earth's face. Then maybe, would it suffice for Beijing?

Tibet, the next new Palestine in Asia.

In Tibet right now, it's flaming a new kind of fight against the oppressor. Like the "Palestinians intifada", the Tibetan oppositions are switching from a passive struggle, to a more active and sometime extreme fight against their oppressor.


Future implications.


Today the risk is, of a new Palestine crisis under the shadow of the Himalaya. Beijing, as well many democratic nations don't fully realize that today, they are missing a last opportunity for a peaceful and profound solution, in this martyrized region of the world. Tomorrow, will be far too late for dialogue!

Till these days, economic factors have prevented most of the democratic nations to take some serious action against the Beijing regime, and unfortunately for the same reasons, not much of the Tibetans' future will change in the next decades.

A thundering...

A new and horrifying genocide is happening in Tibet these days. The position of the news medias in the evolving matter is, they do not know, they do not want to know or, they are afraid to upset someone, what is really happening to Lhasa and in all Tibet. When they speak about approximately 80 dead men, or when they cite Chinese's sources which are speaking about 10 dead, these news medias do not have any idea of how much far are from the reality.

The Tibetan's government has published a listing of the first forty dead assessed, following the Chinese repression over the continuation of the uprising in Lhasa and the neighboring regions.

Lhasa, 21 March 2008

According to the Chinese's agencies press, more than one hundred Tibetans been involved in the incidents of Lhasa have surrendered to the police. The state television has broadcasted the images of the arrested men, "all of them been involved in the actions of beating, devastation and arsoning" in the course of the interrogations.


The tension continue to be very high in the Tibetan's capital, as well in the other Tibetan's provinces, in a particular way in the Gansu's region, where in the past days some hundred of Tibetan men, on foot and on horses, have headed towards the center of the governmental offices succeeding in replacing the Chinese flag with a Tibetan flag. No sure news on the number of the deaths, at least some hundred been told from some sources of the Tibetan"s government in exile, and only thirteen deaths counted from the Chinese authorities.

A lots of people are afraid that the number of the victims is more elevated then that. To no foreign journalist is granted to enter in Lhasa and the Beijing's government continues to exercise a tight control on all means of information. A correspondent from the BBC in Beijing is letting us know that the number of the military convoys approaching the Tibetan's capital is continuously increasing and that the situation "is much similar to a curfew one".

From sources reached by phones today we learned that in the area of Lithang (Kham - in the oriental part of Tibet) has been killed at least 15 persons yesterday. Beyond 30 have been killed in the course of four various manifestations in the near province of the Amdo (Gansu).

The Chinese army has imposed a total curfew in the Lithang region: anyone adventure in the roads he's arrested. The Tibetans are enforced to remain in their houses and tourists are confined in their hotels. Meanwhile, the protesters mopping up continue undeterred. Frequently firearms' shots have been heard in an intimidating manners.

China isn't embarrassed at all for yesterday incident, when an activist of 'Reporter Without Frontiere' has disturbed the Olympia's ceremony. At the contrary China's representative from the ministry of the foreign countries, Qin Gang has asserted, that those who had sabotaged the ceremony should feel embarrassed for violating the Olympic spirit. The spokesperson has also added, that China is confident of a regular development of the torch's race that will get through 135 localities all over the world and 31 Chinese's provinces.



According to the tradition, in the ancient city of Olympia the sun's rays has once again ignited the Olympic flame. In the course of the official ceremony, in which have assisted the president of the organizing Committee of the Beijing's Games Ling Qi and the president of the Olympic Committee International Jacques Rogge, three activists pertaining to the group Reportèrs sans Frontières have succeeded to unfold, while Ling Qi was speaking, a flag on which were represented, in place of the Olympic circles, five handcuffs on black background. The protesters have been readily stopped from some representatives of the police enforcements, present on the place. The Chinese television has censured the images of the protest.

"the Olympic flame is sacred and the human rights are even more"

a representative of Reportèrs sans Frontières has explained,

"we cannot allow that the Chinese government to make use of this symbol of peace without denouncing the dramatic situation of the human rights in China and Tibet".

Also arrested, some Tibetans with Swiss, German and American passports for having tried to wave some banners and Tibetans flags along the streets of Olympia. The president of the CIO, Jacques Rogge, after asserting that "it is not the case" to speak about the boycotting of the Games, has also let he know that the Olympic Committee is cautiously operating with Beijing for a pacific solution of the Tibetan's problem.



Of a different tone, the position taken from the president of the European Parliament, Hans-Gert Poettering. In the course of an interview released to a German daily newspaper, Hans-Gert Poettering has declared to be favorable at the hypothesis of the Games' boycott. "Beijing must take a decision and open negotiations immediately", he has asserted. "In the contrary case the boycotting can be justified.

"We desire only the full success over the Games, but not at the cost of the Tibetans' cultural genocide ".

While Beijing, in spite the protests which are coming from all around the world, has not renounced to include Tibet and the Everest's mountain on the Olympic torch crossing them.

Tibet is in turmoil since, the Tibetan monks started protesting against the Chinese regime. The exiled Dalai Lama denounced a “cultural genocide” toward the Tibetan people coming from the Chinese occupation, but in the same time he's contrary to boycott the Chinese Olympiad because as he said, "China's people deserve it". The Dalai Lama (the spiritual and political leader of Tibet) has declared in the past that, he doesn't seek full independence anymore, but he would accept for his people an autonomy and in the same time, the respect for Tibetan's human rights.


Meanwhile in Lhasa, the situation seem more quite since the Chinese police forces has managed to crackdown the demonstrations. The Tibetan exiled government in Dharamsala has declared that, at least 80 people had died following the Tibetan turmoils, while Chinese authorities said that only 10 civilians have died.

Right now, the Chinese police and military forces are refraining themselves for more strong actions because, the Chinese authority are afraid that crackdown on demonstrators could lead to more bloodshed and consequently China have some implications for, the holding of the Summer Olympics.


In my humble opinion, an authoritarian government which treads on human rights so despicably even on his own people, doesn't deserves it the privilege of holding the Summer Olympics anyway, and because of this authoritarian regime which defeats the spirit of the Olympics, by holding it. Therefore, democratic Nations should boycott it. I know, that many Chinese people are counting in this big event but, they should reflect that nothing is going to change for the people of China in the near future even with, the upcoming Olympiad. Until China is ruled by an authoritarian regime such as the Beijing Communist party, very little hope have left the Chinese people for, the so much gasped freedom they deserve. In the very end, the Olympics are just a palliative administered by the "Chinese Communist Party" for, the real needs of a -Free and Just- Chinese society, nothing more!
