Voices from Asia: Hope to enjoy a happy Olympics, rather than suffering a vile riot

Anand Mohan, a netizen from northern India, called the CRI online, saying that he was shocked by the riot in Tibet. "I knew that people in Tibet have received great benefit from the reform and opening-up policy, and their livelihood has immensely improved, especially since the launch of Qinghai-Tibet railways which facilitates the goods and personnel exchanges, and transports lots of travelers to the beautiful and mysterious region. Tibet neighbors India, and thus the peace and stability in the region concerns the peace and development in India. I condemned the violence that disregards the peace in Tibet and hope such incident won't happen again.

CRI online also sees many comments from netizens in Nepal, although the Internet development is not booming in the country. They said they felt outraged on the riot manipulated by Dalai clique in Tibet when the region sees prosperity day by day, and expressed their firm support to the "One China" policy.

Turkish netizen Musa Ozal said he knew the truth by visiting CRI web site. "I feel sorry to see the years of peace in Tibet is disturbed by the violence conducted by law-disobedient people, and I support the measures by Chinese central government. The incident in Tibet is not a haphazard, but carefully planned. Beijing Olympic Games is a long-waited sports extravaganza for me and acquaintances around me. All of us hope to enjoy a happy Olympics in front of TV screen, rather than the disgraceful violence.

Some Iranian netizens called or emailed the Persian Service of CRI, expressing the concern to the riot where saboteurs beat, smashed, looted and burned in Tibet, and supporting the measures adopted by Chinese central government to deal with violence.

Afghan netizen Saed Rahman said in an email to CRI that he cannot understand why some people associate Beijing Olympics with Tibet Issue. "I trust that Beijing is well capable of holding the Olympics. I am expecting the Games, and will surly watch it.

Listener Lafwra Manduster called the Pushtu Service to comment on the riot, and encouraged the staff to work hard. "I have comprehensive perception towards the incident. I want to say it is undeniable that Tibet is a part of China. Please continue to work hard and I will always attend to your work.
