À moins de quelques mois des jeux olympiques d’été en Chine, nous devons rappeler que ce pays demeure un pays de Non-Droit violemment répressif qui ne répond pas aux critères internationaux en matière de droits de l’homme.

Who killed the Spirit of the Olympics ?

Pour que la démocratie ne soit plus une utopie en Chine, ne restons pas muets et communiquons d’arrache-pied, avec force d’images et courage pour faire crouler les fondations de ce régime totalitaire et cruel.

Participez à la résistance de l’oppression chinoise en envoyant images ou vidéos, impliquant la Chine, à tous vos proches ou collègues. Si vous êtes, vous-mêmes, illustrateurs, graphistes ou journalistes, exprimez-vous à ce propos, qu’il n’y ait aucun silence sur ce qu’il se passe en Chine.

Who killed the Spirit of the Olympics ? (Picture 2)

La communication demeure l’arme la plus efficace qu’il soit pour servir une cause noble, servons-nous en !

We have heard some bad news from Tibet China recently and seen some 'reports' on TV, newspaper, websites from the western media. We also see some people shouting 'Free Tibet' even here in Flickr. There is one thing I want to ask these people: how much do you really know about Tibet, about its history and the history of China? What makes you draw the conclusion that Tibet should be freed? And what and who makes sure that Tibet will be better if, only if, it is freed?

If you can't persuade yourself on the questions above, please, spare some time to look at the facts listed below. I'm sure they will give you a new view to Tibet.

If you think that Tibet is a country, then Alaska, Quebec, whether Northern Ireland should be a country? You can condemn anyone, because you are the owners of money, you have a majority of the world's money, you should ask for more? Who gave you the right to the invasion of Iraq? Who gave you the right to the invasion of Afghanistan? Who gave you the right to sanctions against Cuba? I would like to ask: what you clearance? OK, the "world police" That is your title, do you think who is a terrorist who is a terrorist, most of who should be boycotted?
Tibetan your sympathy, then killed by the Chinese Tibetan people? Like before you treat blacks, you will always sympathize with the enemy's enemy
I have to let all of the United States, have become an independent country, Quebec, Northern Ireland are independent!

Jason in Belfast says:

I want to share with people what I know and what I think is relatively correct.

I am a free person, born in China, and not working for the Chinese goverment (good thinking, but unfortunately you are wrong). I have my free mind to think, to tell bad from good, lie from truth.

(I am curious why when people from China speaks for their country will be considered to be working for the government... )

As for the freedom of speech and information, I would say that from my experience, I am agree that it is not completely free of speech and information in China. But, if you have seen the shame behavior of the western media on this Tibet riots, you will understand the reason. Here is the link:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSQnK5FcKas

There is no wrong to be long. Kind words should be read with patience. Well, if that's the reason you delete my post, sorry but I think that is the thing that doesn't make sense.

you must be the only person in china that can surf in this site,
for me Tibet is only one thing that is wrong in the Chinese behaviour, it doesn't mean that the rest of the world are saints, but again, Tibet is an occupied land since 1950 like Palestine is from 1967, what's the deference ?
please Jason answer my question
What's the deference between the call for independent of Tibet and the Palestinian one ?
Posted 16 months ago. ( permalink )

Jason in Belfast says:

Sorry Shalvas,

I am not in China at the moment, but I am Chinese, so I think it is necessary to let people here, where can't be offically accessed from mainland China, hear what Chinese think.

Well for your question, sorry again, I can't give you any comments. I don't think I can answer your question with my knowledge.But once I found something reliable, I would like to share my view with you.

This is reprints from someone's BLOG:
the westerner always harbors the prejudice to the Chinese, may see frequently to one view: These Chinese cerebrum has been washed, does not know matter's truth. In their opinion, the Chinese are ignorant, the savageness, is sealed up. Actually simply did not know that has many Chinese to know them are not less than, even if a spot, even can visit the website must be more than far them. They self-confident bent the waist completely, must stretch out to the pitiful young Huang person aids, must educate instructs them. Actually slightly has not taken into consideration to them has the thought to have the emotion live person, before respect peace and so on, what discussed that what understood? Now, they estimated that must feel strange in the Chinese domestic response, sums up this kind of ultra expectation to brainwash successfully, or is nationalism is in flood. But, they will not reconsider absolutely, their behavior means anything to the Chinese. does obeisance these idiots to bestow, I changed my view. I ever do not like any Olympics originally, thought that does not have what relations with me. But, it momentarily looks like two testicles to pinch equally now by others in the hand, the goal actually changes any Chinese's realistic circumstances, then I must say: Goes to your mother! Loves, likes participating. I did not think that this German MM is supporting Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso, she and her friends are helping one but actually busily, causes a leaf of front door thorough closure, reopens hopelessly. Will deceive them looking, the Chinese before the unprecedented speed built up rapidly under the national flag, gave up more individual rights and the freedom on own initiative, to avoid more injuries and the insult. They are not in the help friend, but is making an enemy, an Asia's orphan.
You thought that we like the Chinese government very much, even, for it dies? I thought that the idiot only then such will do, our also very repugnant the Chinese government, but we will deeply love our country, will deeply love us the people, we hope the Chinese government reform, but overthrows him, because, the Chinese government has been overthrown, we will become the biggest victim, but this will be precisely your goal, you want to let all Chinese obey your wish, will become you the slave, if China has been formidable, then you will think: ” these yellow skin's inexpensive kind must come with us to share the world the benefit “. Therefore on this Earth, nobody will like the Chinese, nobody will sympathize with the Chinese, nobody will think highly of the Chinese. Fortunately, we were used to it

My senor university thesis was on Chinese minority policy (and yes - a earned an "A" from a career diplomat thesis head).

The differences between herding cultures and farming cultures are vast especially when layered and set over several millennia (hence the lactose intolerance of most Han Chinese). This is not on the same order of, say, Kelt v. Anglo, much runs much deeper, say more like Americans annexing Somalia or Iraq. Not a good career move for a nation.

To all people censure China Tibet Problem.
You don't know what are you doing. You expect a civil war here, because that is your gov want you to do. You know nothing about Human right. You just hope no peace and chaos, just like what happening in Tibet. And this made you so proud of your current life.
Do you know this may bring calamity to Tibet, to China, then to the whole world, just like people were killed in Tibetan Riot some days before. In humans history, Scarborough Fair. We have walked a long way to have current peace. Why you want to break it for no matter what kind of reason.
Peace and no war are the most important. Have a look at recent 500 years, China always is a peace country, no matter we are powerful or not. We never break a war, especially not like some other powerful counties to break a war just for Oil or money, and even for slaves. But we are not weak. We are united. We are more pure than you.

To all people boycott Olympic
What you did just like what happened in 1980,1968,1896,1904,1972,1976,1956,1984 Olympic history, and now it is your turn to do this with your politic reasons. It will just bring yourself shame when some time you look back at your life.

I first stated that I do not like the Chinese government, but our Chinese hopes him to reform, what we deeply love is Chinese this land, if China in carries on genocide to Tibet the policy, then how several hundred years ago the American is also treats the Indian? you these westerners always thought that our Chinese is hoodwinked, actually we know are not less than you, 89 year matter? OK, we have been studying him, in China's society has the innumerable Civil society organizations to study for 89 years, you thought that we are also stupider than you? We also like the freedom, I even support Taiwan to be independent, but we absolutely do not come from US's inexpensive “the democracy”. you should the clear before Germany eastern people be the clear democracy implication how, you thought that was likely you imagines that simply? the American had also said that must protect the Indian, but the final Indian is very pitiful, we do not have wantonly the slaughter Tibetan at least, in March occurs in Tibet's matter, who has killed who? You only sympathized with these to kill Chinese's Tibetan, then your sympathy was sold at a discount, was the double standards, our country was not before that now we are impossible to think that the SHOOT who on SHOOT anyone, our only SHOOT these murderers, the hoodlum, truly wanted to let the human who China perished. If who wants to let the US perish, then the US definitely also meets SHOOT he, you can not believe?

Run and Gun [deleted] says:

Independent media access to Tibet seems a reasonable thing. The American, anti-globalization and more recent French riots were transparent to the world. Throwing a wall up only makes things worse for the Chinese government. Like any organization or nation - the most insidious and persistent disease that can infect them is for them to lie to themselves. The Chinese government doesn't exactly have the greatest credibility in the world in many ways. This is one more thing that causes the world not to trust the Chinese.

I understand how you can be upset at the criticism of China over what you think is the minor issue of human rights, however people don't mobilize in such strong opposition without good reason. Think about why people are so upset with the Chinese government, and consider that many, especially in America, value individual freedom and justice over "peace". You seem to have had some exposure to Western ideas especially since you are here on FLICKR. Look up the powerful lyrics of PINK FLOYD - "WISH YOU WERE HERE" and consider if perhaps you yourself might not have traded a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage.

See the Beijing's Spirit video :
Jeux Olympiques de Beijing 2008

There is an article from The Sydney Morning Herald
The Sydney Morning Herald
___________________________________________ __
A broad coalition of professional activists, anarchists and freelance stirrers is rolling out a series of shaming campaigns intended to fuel the cacophony of complaint against China's hosting of the 2008 Olympic Games.

In addition to the usual physical displays of opposition, the groups are ramping up a powerful online presence that includes the use of the big three social networking sites - MySpace, Facebook and YouTube - plus an array of widgets, podcasts, blogs and other web-based weapons of persuasion and subversion.

The agitators include long-time China critics such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the Free Tibet Campaign plus a host of smaller activist groups covering the entire gamut of anti-Beijing causes including Darfur, Burma, workers' rights, animal rights, pro-democracy and the death penalty.

Their common aim is to drown out China's attempts to use the Olympics as a celebration of its coming of age as a modern economic powerhouse and refocus international attention on the many skeletons that rattle around in the regime's closets.

With the Olympic torch setting out on a four-month, 19-nation tour of the globe, before returning to the Chinese capital for the start of the opening ceremony on August 8, expect to see the symbols of the Games - in particular - come under sustained attack.

Today's launch by Amnesty International's Australian branch of its Olympics campaign, for instance, features a monkey character called Nuwu.

No Olympic Games without democracy!

China campaign director, Sophie Peer, says this is the first time that the Australian branch of the international human rights organisation has used a cartoon character in one of its campaigns.

Nuwu - meaning angry young boy in Mandarin - is a play on "Fuwa", the collective name given to the five Teletubby-esque mascots of the Beijing Olympics.

The Fuwa five "seek to unite the world in peace and friendship through the Olympic spirit," the official Beijing Games website says.

Amnesty's mascot wears a red bandanna - just like the ones worn by many of the Tiananmen Square protesters in 1989 - and "wants to set the record straight by speaking about the human rights abuses suffered by people in China", Amnesty's new Uncensored website says.

The monkey - the brainchild of an Australian creative team - is also used as the logo on Amnesty Australia's new Facebook presence, one of thousands of "Causes" that members of the social networking site can join.

For activists, the five official critters have become sitting ducks and fair game.

They have already been appropriated by PlayFair 2008, a campaign launched by a group of labour organisations promoting workers' rights in the global sporting goods industry.

PlayFair's website features posters of Beibei, the blue fish-themed official mascot that is supposed to symbolise the "blessing of prosperity", working in a sweatshop sewing garments.

Ben Cohen, the co-founder of the famous Ben & Jerry's ice-cream company in the US, says that he also has the cutesy mascots in his crosshairs.

Cohen is helping the Mia Farrow-backed Dream for Darfur organisation, which seeks to end the genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan by putting pressure on China, the Sudanese regime's principal international backer.

"I'm interested in running some sort of campaign that introduces these little guys [the mascots] to the world as 'Looks cute - supports genocide'," Cohen told The New York Times last month.

Farrow's organisation is also behind the push to rebrand the Games as the "Genocide Olympics", a phrase she first used in a commentary published in The Wall Street Journal last year.

But the award for the most brutal act of Photoshop subversion goes to activists who transformed the official Games emblem from a statement of "trust and an expression of self confidence" into a blood-stained symbol of repression.

The official emblem of the Games is called "Chinese Seal, Dancing Beijing". It's a red and white stylisation of the Chinese character "jing", which is both the second character in "Beijing" and the word for capital.

The official Games website states that the emblem - which looks a bit like a running stick figure - is supposed to be "filled with Beijing's hospitality and hopes, and carries the city's commitment to the world".

But over at The SubRealism Manifesto website, a group of freelance anarchists has published a wicked video parody in which "Chinese Seal, Dancing Beijing" becomes the bloodied, crime scene chalk outline of a dissident who has been chased and mowed down by a tank.

Once viewed, the Beijing Games stick man will never look the same again.

The video is the work of the French cartoonist Guillaume Podrovnik and an American who uses the pseudonym Keiko Ketsugo.

Podrovnik, who describes the site as a "radical, anti-consumerist project", worked for many years as a political cartoonist on the anti-Beijing Hong Kong newspaper Apple Daily.

Ketsugo says the video, which was created using the animation tools in the Second Life virtual world, drew its inspiration from a four-panel cartoon found on the web in which the blood-rimmed silhouette is formed after a man is executed by a firing squad.

A similarly edgy animation is being promoted by Students for a Free Tibet on its parody of the official Torch Relay site.

The animation, a hack of the official Torch Relay logo, can be downloaded and used as a "badge" on blogs and websites, ensuring that it will spread virally across the internet.

The official logo is static and depicts two characters running, holding aloft a flame in the stylised shape of a phoenix, the mythical creature that in Chinese culture symbolises high virtue and grace and is supposed to appear only during periods of peace and prosperity.

However, in the Students for a Free Tibet version, one of the characters pulls on a policeman's cap, the torch becomes a truncheon and the other character is beaten senseless until it collapses and blood spills down over the Olympic rings.

The online flash video mocks China's torch relay logo and slogan "Light the Passion, Share the Dream" in an attempt to expose China's cynical Olympics propaganda, the SFT website says.

The IOC's most sacred symbol, the five interlocking rings, have also been targeted.

In one image used by the French organisation Committee for Supporters of Tibet, the Olympic rings are shown as tank tracks.

In a poster, originally published by Amnesty's branch in Slovakia and later withdrawn, the rings are depicted as barbed wire loops. The image shows a man pointing a gun at the head of prisoner.

The poster uses the slogan "China is getting ready", the same one being used by the Beijing Olympic Organising Committee in the lead-up to the Games.

A similar theme is being used by press freedom group, Reporters San Frontiers, which is promoting its Olympic campaign with a graphic using interlocking handcuffs instead of rings.

shalvas, i couldn't help leaving some words.
1st, i am from mainland China and i am surfing on flickr and have seen your comments, arguments,and pictures all. My question is: have you really been to Tibet? Have you visited Tibet people by yourself really? Did you take photos of any violent behavior targeted on Tibet people? What you see by person is what you should believe and then should spread. So please investigate first.
2nd, believe it or not, i am not working for government or paid by anyone (according to your logistic sayings as above, i figure you may burst out questions like these)
3rd, no goverment around the world is perfect , that's why politics is just a game that some people like to play and some people like to use. BUT, do you think this kind of behavior (http://laiba.tianya.cn/laiba/images/149836/1 2077620330315393349/A/1/m.jpg) can be called some actions calling for peace?????
Like that we all know our parents are not perfect person, but that dosen't mean they are evil. Do you know what 'misunderstanding' means? And how many of you who support Tibet free really came to China and knew the truth happening here??

Shaul Hanuka says:

lynn,
if you have really followed what i wrote here in flickr you should have noticed that i take china responsible for more atrocities than those happening in Tibet,
I know for sure that ORDINARY people in china can't surf here,
Also,
if you check my last blog post here you'll see i have more things to say about china other than the Tibet issue.
ihanuka.blogspot.com/

also,
putting 4 pictures in your profile wont full anyone,
it is obvious you're working for the chinese public relations machine,
why don't you sue people that use the olympic trade mark ?
why doesn't Adidas or McDonald's or Coca Cola sue anybody ?
cause you people live in the dark,
and you people are afraid of the light,
you shouldn't bid for hosting the olympic games
that was your mistake
cause china and it's global pimps like nike will never enjoy the dark again.

you are really funny...thanks for overvalueing me anyway.
yes people here who knows less about web browers can not get access to flickr if they only know how to use IE by Microsoft. BUT don't you know Firefox can work with additions? Do you know how many Chinese use Firefox? This can only prove that you know this about China but not that about China. Try to listen and prove by your own, i know you won't believe me.

actually i am working in journalist industry and keep reading both eastern and western press everyday. it happened that there is one report on Wallstreet journal website mentioning a PR machine thing. all i wanna say is that for me myself, i choose to get more open to learn what the truth is. and i noticed that you mention those brand names a lot. you focus on nike coca cola and McDonald, actually i don't like them either. in fact , on some forums here they are already get onto a controversy ad poster of Cocacola with monks on it saying 'make it real'. so will you change your attitude on Coke now because of this? don't say yes.
i don't know about politics and don't think it should be tied to Olympics. for the business part , we can only be strong to innovate and bit off intruding brands; i seldom use flickr to post views, just get really upset when reading the distorted report on western press and the whole protest against the torch thing. To be fair, aside from politics, for most Chinese people, we have a warm heart for the Olympics for a long time after all.

Owen,
I do hope you can read better than you can write,
if you have read what i wrote earlier you would have noticed that i think that both the people of Tibet and the people of Palestine should have the freedom to decide weather they want an autonomy or independence.
also it is in my believe that the suppressing of human rights in ALL china was in the interest of the USA much as it was in the interest of the regime in China, cause that made the Chinese people into a cheap labour force denounced of it's rights.

you know nothing about china, about tibet,
tibet has been a part of china since 1362AD, and China always be good to Tibetans, Dalai Lama himself does not deny Chinese goverment's policy.

Study history, study the truth!

you westerner just do not want China to be powerful, do not China to endanger your benifits! So mean!

Let me tell you, China is powerful, China has its own way to develop, do not say so called "democracy"! Chinese is change better and better, we are proud of our government! Chinese are united to go against anyone who want us be their enemy! do not say I am brainwashed by the goverment, look how many Chinese protest on the Tibet riot and western media's distortion around the world!!

it is errant to go againt 1.3billion Chinese, it is dangers to enrage 1.3 billion Chinese!

"We guys" chose this time cause the Olympic games have opened a window in time where the western media will endure the bashing of the sweatshops and the way the US economy and the "communist" regime have come together to suppress the Chinese people.

BTW, for those of you who are really serious about the truth about the history of Tibet, please check the following history books by true historians.

Ebrey, P. B. (1996). The Cambridge illustrated history of China. Cambridge [Cambridgeshire] ; New York, Cambridge University Press.

Fairbank, J. K. (1992). China : a new history. Cambridge, Mass., Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.

Twitchett, D. C. and J. K. Fairbank (1978)(Volume 9). The Cambridge history of China. Cambridge, [Eng.] ; New York, Cambridge University Press.

The following book also makes very interesting reading:

Exactly. The westerners have committed hundreds of years of human rights abuses during the colonial era. And now they are blaming China for human right abuses? So irony and hyperbole, that even they did not mention the worst human right violation in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine.

Come one, bring it on. The world has become sinical more than ever with your hypocritical rights and democracy propaganda. Just political bs.

brian toronto says:

What are the true motivs for those people to promote anit-china, anti-olympic movement? China, with 1/4 of the world population, won the right to hold olympic through fair competition, invested $40 for it, and the Chinese have the right to hold a successful game.

Those fake "human right activists" use the "human right" as a stick, they do not want China to change to the better side, what they are doing here is not out of "good will", but feeling of threat by China's development, or pure jealousy. If you really hope China to have better human right condition, the key is connection, not isolation. Use your brain!

US CIA has done so many activities in its histry trying to split other countries. CIA has been funding Dalai Lama's team for 2 decades. Evil motif!

Boycott means no participation, staying away from it. Why you talk about this topic? Any logic?

hi, Shaul,
Just to remind you that your ignorance and arrogance is a big offense to all Chinese.

I am wondering how much did you get paid to bring shame on China, well, who cares, you are FREE to do that.

By the way, before criticizing China, look at a mirror first.
If you learn history well, you might remember what the western has done to China!!!!!!!! Talking about human rights, you are not qualified.
Posted 10 months ago. ( permalink )

joanne_zhang35 says:

oh, Just bring to my mind, I know a way that can make you a REAL human rights guard. You can donate you money to and help those earthquake victims(including many minority ethic groups) like the communists did. I am sure you can do better than the communists because you have such a gracious human mind and spirit. You are so caring and all the Chinese should be very appreciate. Those hypocrites can not be compared with you.
