China Continues Its Stance On Tibet

China has been lashing out at those who have been criticizing their government’s involvement in the protests in Tibet. The Chinese government has targeted the western media in it's drive to suppress this insurrection. The government claims that the Western media is trying to smear the communist party. In turn, the Chinese media has broadcast a rebuttal that presents it own version of the anti-Chinese protests. The Chinese media has placed most of the blame on the Dalai Lama. The Chinese government believes that the group who follows the Dalai Lama is planning to make the Chinese government make concessions before the arrival of the Summer Olympics. The Dalai Lama has denied being involved in the riots and has stated his support of China’s hosting of the Olympics. It is clear that the Tibetan riots are a public relations mess for China—especially due to their timing--right before the Olympics.
