A Tibetan woman goes to the Olympics

Jocelyn Ford reports from Beijing:

A Tibetan street hawker lives in a community of migrant workers in the outskirts of Beijing. Hostilities toward her escalated after the March riots in Lhasa. She and her son are delighted to find they are welcome at the Olympic stadium.

    In Lhasa it was the Tibetans who were doing the stoning. I'm sorry that the violence of Tibetan Buddhists in Lhasa made it hard for the many Tibetans in the rest of China, and I hope people realize that other Tibetans aren't like that.

    Oh, Tiebten in Bird Nest! I thought they were all locked up or banished for the game.

    I guess she was awarded a ticket for her refusal to sell leopard skins to Sharon Stone, like thousands Tibeten street hawkers do in Beijing.

    Anyway, quite an objective report, showing bad side of her hostile Han Chinese neighbors which I hate. I only hope that, with an annoying CPI, Beijinger will not take to streets one day and chase away this immigrant woman with long swords and stone her poor boy, like in Lhasa, or in South Africa.
