      How tragic! Sounds like China is trying to spin the story. Very Sad.

        I think that it is time to re-evaluate our trade relations with China.

            Jeremy found this video of the incident...while not graphic...disturbing none-the-less.

              The Chinese Massacre 1989 was not only in the nations Beijing but through the provinces. This is a separate incident. The situation with the Taliban also near Their borders.

              Everone seems on edge. Sad times we dwell.

                This is very disturbing to say the lease, but let's not blame the privately-owned businesses in China for the outrageous actions of the Chinese government.

                Would a boycott of Chinese goods help? Doubt if our government will take any action since we want Chinese to act in the N.Korean situation.

                This has been going on since Mao was in power. Tibet swears allegiance to the Dali Lama not godless communist, thus their fate is to be shot like dogs. In most cases, there are no witnesses. File a complaint with the UN and even if you had video and interviews with the shooters, nothing would happen.

                I think I heard that the Dalai Lama had a meeting with the Pope in Rome this past week. What can other religions in China do to help the follower's of the Dalai Lama?

                  This is a Tibet issue. China as Russia has long borders, which face not only various RELIGIONS but also GENE POOLS.
