Its my strong advice to rediff and other indian media to stop editing the information in order to make is more sellable,, I have noticed it several times and now am quoting it in front of everyone to think about it.
When the Tibat woman saying sth in Mandarin, the subtitles came out was: All the Tibetan people have gathered together yesterday on the street and the militery men come and fired some tear gas, some poisonous one, to us in the afternoon at 3 or 4PM and arrested about 10 or 20 people.
however, in case that I know Mandarin well, I translated what did she said for you:
I feel very difficult. Those minority splittists are doing distorting activities! we are all witnesses. They don't accept to live well-being lives. The children can't go to school, workers can't go for work normally, our good lives are distorted...
now u can see how different are the two translations. However i ask you all to use your sources to confirm it and then reach to the conclusion. If we keep on distorting things like this we will always spoil our relations with others.
and you can see from the subtitles, that snippet originated from CCTV!!! (Chinese National TV)

kapil barman, You are right. Many Indians first have some preconception in their mind and use this to understand everything happening in China. That is why from outsiders' angle, Indians are so narrow-minded and ignorant. Without any dbout, Indians can view everything for sake of their interests. but this is not talking sense. From angle of Chinese, they view things for sake of their interests. So, Indians and Chinese speak two languages for the same truth. However, if medie distorted the iron truth. This can only make Indian become joke and ignorant.
In Tibet, mobs(so called protestors) set fires to shops and caused civilians death. In many countries, protestors smashed properties of Chinese embassy. all these are the truth.Indians have right to justfy what Tibetans have done if you like and Chinese have right to justify what they have done if they like, but do not deny these truths. Otherwise, Indians are clowns.
Germany TV station used time-unknown footage which shows Nepalese police arrested protestors with subtitles saying Chinese police arrested Tibetans. It becomes a international joke. CNN did the similar things. Yesterday,Germany TV station already apologized for this. Frankly, Tibetans are losers this time no matter how correct their cause is. The world are silent for watching they set fires and smashed properties. It seems Indians like to be Indiots, right?
