Is China really serious about Civil and Human rights injustices - Tibetans are dying

For Discussion - Written by Matt Norman
I hear so much happening with the lead up to the Beijing Olympic games and it troubles me. Tibetans are dying because they are standing up to be heard. While the Chinese government continue to believe in a society of hate and injustice.

If the World were to look at China differently they would understand that the people in China are amazing people and a people that seem concerned with their own Governments treatment of not only Tibetans but of their own countrymen. What of those people that have stood up to the government in protest? where are they now? The Chinese people that stand up for equality and freedom are jailed or killed for taking a stand. What China can do now is commit to change. The whole world is looking at them. They could finally be part of the greatest global community by showing true power of change. All the fuss is about the Government not allowing people to speak up to be heard.

Imagine the day when our brothers and sisters in China could stop the Civil and Human rights atrocities and be welcomed into the global community as a part of something bigger. The World we live in is a big place. Why don't those in power urge opportunity. It's a natural right to have the best life we can have with what we've got. Protesting the Olympic games shows us that some people are gagged for the power of silence.

One person gets to make a difference. Can we as a planet stop the injustice? Can we? The answer is not violence, nor war, nor threat. The answer is Yes. We can help garner change. Stand up. You have your freedom to do so. Do it.
