i will....... News From Xinhua The air quality in Beijing has improved dramatically in recent days thanks to the effective temporary measures, an International Olympic Committee (IOC) official said here on Wednesday. "I am very surprised because I thought it would be different, but it's much better, much better," IOC's Olympic Games executive director Gilbert Felli told reporters. "You don't feel bad when you breathe so it looks good, I'm confident." Last Sunday, Beijing started a two-month-long control of vehicle use to ease traffic pressure and improve air quality for the Aug. 8- 24 Games. According to the restriction, vehicles with even and odd number of plates have to run on alternate days in the metropolis. Felli, who is a member of the IOC's coordination commission for the 2008 Games and visited the Chinese capital regularly since 2001, said he was pleased with the overall preparations and felt less anxious at this stage than he had at previous Games. "I'm very happy to see the level of preparation, the quality of the venues, the look of the city ... flowers and trees, it's fantastic," he said. "You are always excited before the games. But I have to say, at some of the past Games, I was more nervous because a lot of technical problems were not solved, but here they are solved." There were media complaining that the security around Beijing is so tight that the festive atmosphere an Olympic host city should have is hardly being felt. But Felli jumped to defend Chinese organizers' efforts to host a safe Games, saying what they are doing now is in line with Olympics norms. "I think the people have just arrived and maybe they've never been at the Olympic Games because it's always like this before the Games when they put in place the security," he said. "If you go along to the Olympic Green in the evening you can hardly move because so many people are stopping to take pictures, so I can see some atmosphere."

The politics of the 2008 Olympics...
i had seen the site. i think, a country won't do anything if they can't get Benefits but i don't know what Benefits can CCP get more through Darfur. If have,that's oil...... i have a crazy thought,why U.S so Care about Darfur? FOR THE OIL.!Energy!?(I don't know) Of cause China needs Oil,but we never start wars (Iraq,and....Iran?) We never try to set arms into those places......if Nato get into Darfur,i don't think they can help work out the problem...... China never starting a war,never intervention any state,and deal with problems through U.N, i think the Darfur issue just because of Resources U.S may have 2 aspects to shame China. 1. Controlling Darfur,and the oil,new found Resources 2. Pressuring China Goverment,4 the Initiative of Negotiations with China in (such as Trade,economy politics......) http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/print/200704/darfur-climate you may had visit this website,but i think you can see again ......it support a new way to think about Darfur,politics just a gun,but benefits control it.the "gun" may aim at the shadow of the Fact,but the really aim,we don't know~!

ok ok ......i won't First ,let's talk about Tibet!!!! Do you think Tibetan are living in fire of repression???? Slavery and Serfdom in Tibet, historical evidence Here is some list of books that show evidence of Serfdom and Slavery in Tibet. One article can be read here http://rwor.org/a/firstvol/tibet/tibet1.htm Might contain bias read at your own discretion. Anna Louise Strong She was in Tibet during 1950s, she wrote a book "When Serfs Stood Up" On page 270 She was interviewing a local serf after Chinese government took over and the serf said "In the past you didn't dare wash your face, for the overseer would think you were showing off, but now you wash your face several times a day. You even wash your hair and your dirty shirts. You sing out loud in the fields without worry. If you sang in the fields formerly, the boss would say: ' You'll attract the hail from the heaven. Will you take the responsibility for that"' But now you sing as much and as loud as you like. We put new words to the old songs. We even have dramas and dances at the rest period in the fields." Hisotrian Michael Parenti in his article Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth http://www.michaelparenti.org/Tibet.html wrote "In old Tibet there were small numbers of farmers who subsisted as a kind of free peasantry, and perhaps an additional 10,000 people who composed the “middle-class” families of merchants, shopkeepers, and small traders. Thousands of others were beggars. There also were slaves, usually domestic servants, who owned nothing. Their offspring were born into slavery. 15 The majority of the rural population were serfs. Treated little better than slaves, the serfs went without schooling or medical care, They were under a lifetime bond to work the lord's land--or the monastery’s land--without pay, to repair the lord's houses, transport his crops, and collect his firewood. They were also expected to provide carrying animals and transportation on demand. Their masters told them what crops to grow and what animals to raise. They could not get married without the consent of their lord or lama. And they might easily be separated from their families should their owners lease them out to work in a distant location." Sir Charles Bell, a British colonial officer, also a renowned Tibet Scholar and a personal friend of the 13th Dalai Lama wrote book Tibet: Past & present , on page 79: "Slaves are sometimes stolen, when small children, from their parents. Or the father or morther being too poor to suppor their child would sell it to a man, who paid them "sho-ring," "price of mothers' milk," brought up the child and kept it or sold it as a slave ..." "Two slaves I saw ... had been stolen from their parents when five years old, and sold in Lhasa for about seven pounds each." "The slavery in the Chumpi valley was of a very mild type. If a slave was not well treated, it was easy for him to escape into Sikkim and British India." Israel Epstein interviewed many local Tibetan during his travel to Tibet in the 1960s, described his book Tibet Transformed: in some worse cases serfs had to hand over children to the manor as household slaves or nangzan, because they were too poor to keep them alive. There are many more books I can list, but I will leave it right here. There is the common perception for the western is Tibet was a heavenly land, and the Communist Government invaded it. Keep in mind there are 2 sides of every story.(By Foxhunt99)

Dalai Lama 's True Face
Photo By AFP (Agence France Presse) Dalai Lama was accused of Religious persecution April 13, 2008 In the Tibetan school, Bylakupee(In India,NOT Tibet), Tibetan students were asked to give signatures that they never worship Shugden, and also to pledge that they will never share religious and material amenities with Shugden people. 20 students refused to sign and pledge. So they face danger of expulsion from the school. In the three different camps at Bylakupee, the signature and oath campaigns were carried out. It was presided by abbots of Sera and the Dalai lama’s representative. The situation is getting worse. And more miserable and suffering shugden devotees. In 1996, the Dalai Lama said the worship of Dorje Shugden was banned .but for the protestors, the ban is unfounded and oppressive As i konw,2 ASF reporters was hurt by Dalai Lama's adherent ,because they interviewed Kundeling Rimpoche,who's the leader of Shugden devotees. Dalai Lama sure controls a lot of people,but most of them are illiteracy......
