The Western media on China, the Olympics and Tibet

Monday morning reading from the evil Western media.

• From Canadian website Macleans:

Interview with Susanna Ng

An influential Chinese-Canadian blogger on Olympic protests, media bias and how Tibet has become a fantasyland for Westerners

The Chinese-Canadian community is remarkably unified in condemning the protests that have dogged the Olympic torch run and politicized the Beijing Summer Games, says Vancouver blogger Susanna Ng.

• From The Guardian:

From Olympia to impasse

by Dominique Moisi

China and the west are almost matching each for sheer incompetence and hypocrisy over the Beijing Olympics

• From Peking Duck:

Radio Free Asia’s Tibet “coverage,” and more

Alice Poon of Asia Sentinel pointed me to this most interesting post about Radio Free Asia and the neocons behind the RFA’s curtain. The post is a real shocker, and causes one to wonder if the entire Tibet issue hasn’t been manipulated to further the agenda of PNAC and the AEI.

• From The Mercury News:

How dare the West use the Olympics to China-bash

• From The New York Times:

Protests of the West Spread in China

Nationwide demonstrations against a French supermarket chain spread on Sunday as thousands of people protested what they said was France’s sympathy for pro-Tibetan agitators. The protesters have also been singling out Western news outlets, especially CNN, for what they said was biased coverage of unrest in Tibet.
