the tibet-china story has been lingering in the media for weeks, ever since the initial torch lighting ceremony. i feel sorry for the athletes that have put in so much of their time and efforts in training for this once-in-a-four-year occasion because no one is writing about their stories. what was meant to be a goodwill sporting event has turned into a political platform.
anyhow, there has been some interesting anti as well as pro china campaigns circulating in the media and web. some are quite creative while others are very extreme.
an online game developed by the americans that show their anti-china views. even if you do not feel the same as the guys who developed this game, i am sure you will get a kick out of this. http://www.addictinggames.com/olympictorchrelay.html
in retaliation of cnn's pro-tibet coverage, computerworld reported that a bunch of chinese hackers are readying an attack on cnn. however, there is always a conspiracy theory to everything, so could this be something that anti-china parties have planted to make themselves look vulnerable. you be the judge.

here is a guy (i am assuming it's a guy, looking at the language used in the video) that have quite a strong view on those who don't know the facts about the china-tibet relationship, but are slashing the chinese government for their actions against anti-china protestors. this video generated 2,779,252 views over a month and numerous comments among youtube viewers.

i am sure you know this one... the [heart] China that appears in front of the names on your msn contact list. this viral has spread like a virus and i m sure you are also seeing this on your msn. my question is, do people know why they are putting the [heart] China in front of their names? is this to show that they are in support of the olympics? or is it because they agree with the chinese government's views? by participating, they've engaged themselves in the political agenda.
so... who is stirring up all these controversies and driving the political frenzy. my guess would be those who run the united states of america and people's republic of china. lets focus back on the games and continue the political warfare after the games, shall we?

well, do u think its just the Games?
its supposed to be China's largest showcase - its arrival into the international scene..etc etc.
apparently, they trying to make money out of it.
Now, all nationalities need a single-trip visa to get into China from Jul 1. everyone with business visas or multiple visas are no longer valid.
The FOreign Ministry is taking the opporutnity to milk every single soul thats coming to China over the Olympics, even if they're not traveling for the Olympics.
that sucks.
ComputerWorld:
Hackers had launched some low-intensity attacks against CNN ahead of the April 19 deadline, but on Sunday, another group calling itself HackCNN picked up the attack. CNN visitors experienced a noticeable slowdown during the early hours of Sunday and Monday, researchers said.
This group also managed to deface a Sports Network Web site (sports.si.cnn.com), replacing sports scores with slogans such as "Tibet was, is, and always will be a part of China!"
Hackers made easy-to-use Web attacking tools available for download on hackcnn.com and then encouraged as many computers as possible to join in on the attack.
The attacks can be hard to stop at first, and they tend to garner attention to the attacker's political cause, said Jose Nazario, a senior security engineer with Arbor Networks. "We're going to see this again because it's effective to some degree."
Lazy: noticed how everything which has been executed via traditional means have gone digital... in the above example, a digital riot.
