Actor Gere urges EU pressure on China over Tibet
Quote: BRUSSELS - Actor Richard Gere, campaigning for a free Tibet, on Wednesday demanded Europe match the United States in appointing a special envoy for Tibet to increase pressure on China to end its occupation of the Buddhist region.
Quote: "If the EU also had this, obviously it would increase pressure, good pressure on China, who obviously wants to be part of the modern world, wants to be an equal player with the rest of nations," Gere told a news conference in Brussels.
Well I'll be damned, what's the "modern" world? What the hell is the "rest of nations"? America and Europe? What about Africa? Those are his f**king definitions! And an actor?! Excuse me for saying this but that deadweight of the society needs to go! scream
Edit: Anyways, after my initial outrage (yes, I hate morons who diss China, sue me stare ) Let's discuss this. How do you think China should change to be "accepted" into the "modern" world? Bah, I hate the sound of that sentence, it's as if we're begging to join the pathetic Westerners... stare (one of these days I'm gonna make them grovel at my feet...)

Look, he's an actor, and what do actors need? Coverage. Well done. I'd bet on this being no more than a publicity stunt.
Onto the topic.. from a "westerner"'s POV, they'd want China to be nice, fluffy, 'democratic', listen to what they say, obey their trade laws, etc. And as to becoming part of the "modern world" - what is it with these people? Time doesn't move any slower in China than it does here.. sweatdrop Really, it's because they don't want to lose their grip around world economics and power, and so they see China as a threat to their superiority, and therefore want to throw as much dirt on us as possible.

Dear Richard,
You're a great actor and everything (except for the role in "The Last Knight", that's was so shitty... stare ), but I think you should do more thinking, freeing Tibet isn't as simple as just the snap of a finger from China, there are complex political issues and such that you probably have never even considered before. And it's not like China is been some kind of a tyrant over Tibet, we're not using their people as slaves while we dwell on our rich asses, we ocnsider Tibet as part of our country and our people, so I think you should get over yourself and realise that just by knowing the Dalai Lama doens't make you president of the "Free Tibet" fan club, and I'd like to say that the Dalai Lama should get over himself as well.
So despite all that, I'll still watch your movies, provided that you don't make really bad ones anymore ("Runaway Bride", another one... stare )~

tamcharles Cat-Whiskers ....as if we're begging to join the pathetic Westerners... I see you're not the only one that subscribes to the mentality that the solution to all this is to generalize and then discriminate against groups of people. rolleyes Speaking of which, today is June 4th! Anyone else light a candle to join the vigil to remember what happened Tiananmen Square? mrgreen
You really think there'd be another solution to Tiananmen Square huh... stare True to that the government over reacted, but don't tell me you're naive enough to say that the students did not partially bring this upon themselvs as well. |

I can't believe you're saying that. Even I realise Tiananmen Sq was a terrible thing. The gov took it way, way over the top - and thanks to them, now the rest of the world have this thing about China being anti-democracy and evil and nasty. Yes, they did bring it upon themselves, but only in the sense that they knew the gov would be angry and they still went - but they didn't expect to be fired upon, and they shouldn't have been. |

A retired senior Chinese official, Li Pu said it best when he called on Beijing to vindicate the 1989 pro-democracy movement. "The students made big mistakes, but the government's military crackdown was even worse. It was extremely wrong to send troops against ordinary people,'' he said. He was also a friend to Zhao Ziyang. wink |
