China is preparing for the 50th anniversary of the Tibetan uprising - which saw the Himalayan territory's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, flee into exile - with a "strike hard" campaign and propaganda on the evils of feudal oppression in pre-1949 Tibet.
The massive Chinese security crackdown in Tibetan areas initiated earlier this month has prompted the Tibetan government-in-exile, located in the northern Indian town Dharamsala, to appeal to the international community for help.
Chinese state media reports say that 81 people - targeted for criminal activities - have been detained so far in the crackdown, which started on January 18. But Tibet's government-in-exile says the "strike hard" campaign has been launched to prevent political protests in a year laden with tense anniversaries.

That is why we need to give them all the support that we can, this poor people have never had resources to protect themselves against such a powerful killing machine.

If the Tibetans were white or Christian, the outrage and cries of "foul" emanating from the US would be deafening. The western world's refusal to stand up to the murderers in the Chinese government is proof positive that the US and the rest of the west become involved only if monetary gain is to be had, or if God-fearing (white) Christians are threatened.

How long will the world remain silent about the treatment of Tibetan's by those dictators from Peking?
No one is free when others are oppressed!
