Overseas netizens

Netizens home and abroad are joining in the fight through the Internet. To unveil the truth is their common objective.

Wang Ping, living in America for 6 years, is an employee of a company. He read the reports about Lhasa riots from local media in mid-March.

Wang: Although we don't learn so much about Tibet riots, direct perception tells me it’s wrong, because these media always exaggerate reports on China's affair. When I telephoned with my friends at home, I know some reports are fraud.

Under the influence from local media fake repots, some professors with little knowledge about Tibet riots in America are publicly support Tibet issue.

Wang: They (the professors) are totally ignorant of fact. I feel so angry.

In order to let more people know about truth of Lhasa riots, Wang started to collect materials and sent E-mails to these professors respectively. I told them the average span of Tibetan people and the infant mortality rate in the past and present. I will post some memories written by Tibetan people on the Internet and let more people learn about Tibet.

During the interview, Wang always insisted that what he could do is limited. To reveal the truth of Lhasa riot more Chinese living overseas do what they could like Wang.

"The Lhasa riot has left a 'legacy' to the Chinese people. It could also be seen as a mirror that reflected the true faces of some people in the international community," said Qin Gang, the Foreign Ministry Spokesman, in response to the different reactions of some western media and Chinese netizens on the riot in Lhasa. "The coverage of the riots in Tibet by some Western media was a textbook of bad examples, which we Chinese people can learn from. What in all events are the so-called fairness and objectivity boosted by some western media?
