It seems as if the protests at the Olympic torch relay are starting to hit home.
Prompted by being kept housebound by a nasty cold, I dug my best shortwave receiver out from under the bed and strung a crude indoor antenna (sufficient to receive the strongest stations) for it. Up until this evening, China Radio International had been basically ignoring stories of the protests. Now they are tut-tutting about how sports and politics supposedly don’t mix.
Which, hopefully, serves as some sort of indication of what’s being said in the domestic media in China: enough, if one reads between the lines and adjusts for the bias, to make it clear that China’s Tibet policy is very controversial internationally.
It turns out that what I thought was a nice and warm and fuzzy animal welfare orginazation advocates killing pit bulls simply because they are pit bulls.
Charming.
