NGOs and the Tibetan Intifada
 Jonathan Kay mulls the Tibetan intifada:
Even as I write this, Sid Ryan and his CUPE colleague presumably are hard at work drafting a resolution aimed at boycotting all Chinese products. Student activists are smashing their Leonovo laptops. Engineering departments at campuses all across North America are tearing up their partnership projects with colleagues in China. There will also presumably be a flurry of anti-China resolutions put forward by the United Nations assembly and the UN's various agencies -- especially the Human Rights Council. Jimmy Carter, one supposes, is hard at work on a Tibetan-themed follow-up to Peace Not Apartheid.
Read it all.

This type of analysis has crossed my mind too but it does hold a danger. It may look like double standards by the media, the left etc. not to criticise China in the same way but if there is a chance that they might, it means an equivalence will be made with the awful Chinese regime, and the plucky Tibetans will lend their aura of just cause to the Palestinians and their Arab supporters who are somewhat genocidal, in my opinion, and so the complete opposite of the Tibetans who actually seem peaceful on the whole, who do have a culture, a language, and a recognised territory.
Just a thought anyway.
A well-wisher from Scotland.
