It appears the owner’s son do not want to continue retiring daddy’s business. I wonder why they don’t sell the business to a third person to continue the restaurant operations.

When Chinese court accepts cases based on tortious conducts outside China (Cafferty’s alleged defamation?), US courts should also accept cases from outside the US. To be fair, Tibetans and others who have claims against Chinese entities should be able to file lawsuits in California using the CA long-arm statute. Unlike…

Wow, Chinese care so much about GDP, wages, public education, scientific research, infant mortality, life expectancy, and so on. In the end, they might make Tibetan people as happy as Japanese salarymen who are the happiest people in the world. Without China’s help, Tibetans will be as miserable as South…

The song goes "Biwako ohoonseeeen......" for Kansai locals. Mmm, I sometimes cannot recognize old posters in different names.

gmygmygmy – I somewhat come to like you. But I do not think China has been done more favor than disfavor to the Tibetans because there is no freedom of religion. Historically, many people in East Asia wanted to learn Chinese characters in order to read Buddhist sutras in Chinese.…

blaze 524 – your posts are so interesting. My opinion may sounds like a first year college student paper, but I think Chinese people are fully ready for democracy. If you mean democratic institutions by Bush’s administrative branch, Pelosi’s legislative branch, and Robert’s Supreme Court, I guess almost no one…

do ordinary, non-Lamaist Tibetans want independence or is this really a case of the minority, Lamaist monks being outspoken and not really representative of the majority? Remember, in the old regime, a Tibetan monk had his life valued as much as his weight in gold. Whereas a serf's value was…

I suggest, in Nagano, they should have different designated areas for pro-China supporters and others including pro-Tibet protestors so that pro-China people can have their cerebration peacefully.

Years of pent up anger may have fueled the unrest but the manifestation of that anger into a rampage on innocent civilians is inexcusable.

I generally agree with his comment against VIOLENCE. However I believe many posters here, especially Americans, think provocation justifies retaliation.
