FIRE OF FREEDOM IS BRIGHTER THAT OLYMPIC TORCH

Fire of freedom burns brighter than the Olympic torch!

The Chinese government has subjugated its own people and those in occupied lands such as Tiber for a long time. The Chinese Communist party has used brute force to extinguish the fires of freedom, liberty and human dignity but again, and again the fires have rekindled to burn even brighter than ever. Tibetans, the Chinese national in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the rest of main land China itself; they all want the same freedom and liberty than many others the world over take for granted.

China’s economic boom will, ironically, make the Communist party’s continued strangle hold on political power more tenuous; the party has headed China’s multitudes of rural peasants. They are poor and ignorant. But the party will now find the going will not be so ease to do the same with the growing urban workers. They are better educated and town-wise. The internet, for example, has made it near impossible for the Chinese authority to control what the Chinese public read- try as it may to censor it.

The Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games is just one event the millions on millions of people who feel the Chinese foot of oppression on their neck and their sympathisers will use to highlight this Chinese injustice. There will be many other events and occasions and the protesters against Chinese oppression will be there. The protests that have followed the Olympic Torch in London, Paris, San Francisco and wherever it goes next has sent one clear message that the fire of freedom burns brighter than the Olympic flame.
