Your correspondent is getting a little tired of the toxic debate about Tibet going on in the comments section of this this website, and many other websites.
It’s a little like discussing Israel and Palestine: everybody seems to have made up their mind in advance.
So I heartily recommend that all readers wishing to have arguments about Tibet head over to The New York Times, where Nicholas D. Kristof is Calling China:
I think I’m going to write my next column about China, in the wake of the Tibetan protests, and I’d love to hear from some Chinese readers…
… In any case, my sense is that many Chinese — whether in China or outside the country — are deeply indignant at U.S. media coverage of Tibet in particular and China-U.S. relations in general. I get waves of angry emails whenever I write about China and Darfur. So here’s your chance: What do we get wrong, and why? …
… Americans are welcome to weigh in as well, but In particular I’d love to get some thoughtful Chinese voices.
Go for it boys and girls: your chance to influence New York Times coverage, and help a hack who has discovered journalism 2.0.
