Chinese unite in global protest over Tibet, bias
Adjust font size:

In Melbourne, about 5,000 Chinese took part in a rally under the banner "Tell the truth of the Tibet issue and protect the motherland's unification." Chinese students stood in the city's Federal Square and handed out English pamphlets about the Lhasa riots.

In Dublin, Ireland, about 2,000 Chinese held a rally on Saturday. The rally was called to "protest against Tibetan separatists and support the Beijing Olympics." It was the largest rally organized by Chinese in the country.

Chinese in the Netherlands launched a campaign against misleading reports and distortion of the facts in the coverage of the Tibet's unrest last month. They also protested against the biased coverage of last week's attempts to disrupt Olympic torch relays in London, Paris and San Francisco.

"As Chinese, we are seriously protesting the way Western media outlets reported the Tibet unrest, which were mostly exaggerated and far from the truth," said a petition in local Chinese newspapers. The campaign called on more Chinese associations to join the protest.
