I agree completely that the best thing the Chinese government can do is allow open and free access to all media. By shutting it down it just makes them look like they've something to hide. All mainstream media has an agenda (Chinese/Western, there's no difference) and I think it's a tragedy that we live in an age where we can't trust our reporters for an unbiased story. @TheAnand: The Dalai Lama is no longer supported by the CIA. He was in the 60s and early 70s when anti-communism was at its hight in the US. The US was looking for a way they could drive a wedge into communist China. As the "red threat" has since died, so has any support he may at one time have received. Regardless, he shouldn't be judged to harshly, as they would technically have been taken by his 'government in exile' and distributed to train insurgency forces - it was, after all, the position of the Tibetan leadership (then, as now) that they were invaded by the PLA and that they needed to fight back. @Carl: Good post.

But jokes apart, Dalai Lama and CIA? :!: :?: WTF is that connection? Taking too much space is another matter, but I would have appreciated your guts if you had linked to the exact evidence on the same matter. I always thought china was evil :wink: .
