march 10 charlottesville tibet china

NBC 29 reports that the Chinese government is PISSED OFF over the upcoming flying of the Tibetan Flag above City Hall. In case you didn’t know, the City Council agreed to fly the Tibetan Flag above City Hall to honor National Uprising Day on March 10th.
A representative from the Chinese embassy wrote to the City Council:

The action taken by City Council not only interferes in China’s internal affairs, but also departs from the established policy of the U.S government against the Tibetan independence.

What will Charlottesville do?

    How in the hell did the Chinese government discover that the Charlottesville City Council voted to fly the Tibetan flag? Will they discover that I eat at Taiwan Garden every Friday and stage an international protest?

    I am always happy to see Americans support Tibetan independence on the grounds that China is dictatorship that doesn’t allow for freedom of religion. Of course, before the occupation Tibet was also a dictatorship that didn’t allow freedom of religion… hmm

    I’m all for this sort of showmanship, but we really should start at the national, rather than international, level. I’m thinking of you, Brattleboro, VT:

    Voters in two Vermont towns approved measures Tuesday calling for the indictment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for what they consider violations of the Constitution.
