Support China

I read those words someday. And I think it told me something.
-----------------------
We all know those things:
1. Olympic is just sports game

2. China never invade any other countries in their history. The first explorer to circumnavigate the half-globe is Chinese, earlier 86 years than Columbus, over 100 years than Ferdinand Magellan. There was no aggression, no colonies along with their voyages. There were just trade and friendship.

3. Tibert belongs to China over 1000 years, and never independent from China. Read some histroy books, don't just listen to somebody -- Tibetan, your newspaper, or Chinese gov.

4. Over 300 million Chinese young poeple know english and can surf the english website then get you occidental opinions, how many of you can read Chinese and can surf the Chinese website and get the Chinese info directly other than told by your newspape?

5. All the Chinese Presidents -- Chireman Mao, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang and current President Hu -- are not of noble birth. All of them are born poverty. In China, they don't want to waste the money and time on the wealthy's elections. Serve for poeple (not just the the classes) with your ability. That's why Chinese people satisfied with Chinese gov and the reason why China get a high speed. Tell me, how many Presidents are born poverty? How much money did the candidates spend? With no money, can you have the chance to be the finnal candidates?

6. After defeated the Japanese aggression in 1945, Chinese gov said that the Japanese poeple were casualties too. Chinese gov did not ask for the Japanese reparations. And tell me, which other countries said so after WW1 and WW2？

Read some books, surf more webs, get more info other than your newspapers. Maybe you'll realize more things.
