China throws it's toys out the pram yet again...

It's funny really. Everybody knows so why are they trying to hide it? -
Re: China throws it's toys out the pram yet again...
I had a friend from Hong Kong who believed the Dali Lama was a terrorist who used to murder Chinese tourists with his bare hands. Seriously, that's what he had been told. Theres a lot I like about China, but trying to label the worlds happiest man as a terrorist is just stupid.

And HK is generally better then the rest of China in terms of freedom of knowledge due to a more western upbringing. -

China did at least make the toys they are throwing out of their pram! -
Re: China throws it's toys out the pram yet again...I have never met anyone who thinks the Dalai Lama was a terrorist.. Was this HK guy brought up in China or something?(Original post by Yung Mon£y)

No one's ever told me that Mother Teresa was a terrorist though :P
I think it's more to do with HK being a SAR so they are allowed freedom of information much more than the 'western' upbringing. (Do HK people really have a western upbringing though?) -
Re: China throws it's toys out the pram yet again...It is more western, or at least it used to be. They never referred to HK as China but HK so much so they would correct you if you said they were going to China.(Original post by zoeaw)

He was brought up in HK. That's my point though, you simply have gone on what you have been told about someone which is where it's possible to very easily trick people into believing the wrong thing.
