Yet this info has not been reported anywhere. The report also said that the police was caught &amp;quot;flat-footed&amp;quot; by the violent rioters. the chorus condeming China for cracking down peaceful demonstrations sound hollow after I heard this new info.China did not interfered with the five or six peaceful demonstrations by the monks until the killing and burning started. Actually, the government was a little late to take control of the violence.&lt;/p&gt;

Even now, Hu is still willing to talk if the rioters give up their ciiminals activities. Personally, I think Hu and his government iare weak and thus has invited this bloody violence. No one should talk to violent criminals just like America and Europe do not talk to terrorists. No TALKS CAN BE CONDUCTED BETWEEL THE GOVERNMENT AND DALAI UNTIL ALL THE MURDEROUS CRIMINALS ARE CAUGHT AND THE SOURCE OF THIS VIOLENT RIOT IS REVEALED. CHINA SHOULD NOT ENCOURAGE CRIMINALS AND TERRORISTS by makeing any concessions including talks..&lt;/p&gt;

China was expecting Taiwan to cause even bigger mess. Citizens in Taiwan have just elected a president they want. The loser in presidential race in Taiwan planed to announce independency if being elected for such an opportunity as Olympic Game. People often thought that China would give in for whatever China could not tolerate in the name of Olympic, but China once announced that China never allows Taiwan seperating from the mainland, and China would attack Taiwan to sacrifice Olympic. We, as a member &amp;nbsp;of this global community must take this situation very carefully.&lt;/p&gt;

Up to now China has lost her face. China maybe concerns about the future or not. If the Communists in China do not care about human rights, nothing else the Communists cares about and we do not handle the situation carefully. The consequence doesn't look good for all of us on Earth.&lt;/p&gt;
