The above portion of the editorial bothered me as this its NOT fact based. I was in China in the last couple of weeks, the people were killed mostly were Han civilian among them many women and kids, they were killed by Uighurs. I am sympathic of Tibetans as their protests were towards government but killing civilian women and children just made these Uighurs terrorists.
Our media needs to learn how to stay fact-based, no matter how attempting it is by just twisting the truth to support your points (which still could be true and correct). Unlike news in the Western world, while correctness of information is constantly monitored by the pubic. News about China hardly receives feedback from its subject - Chinese public.
I would concur Jianping Xu's previous comment that a large population of Chinese who previously admire western democracy and media had turned around recently, mainly due to these fact-twisted news. To avoid this happening again, check your journalism practice 101.
