Lhasa Rising at Tibet Will Be Free runs through a spoof copy of The People’s Daily that is circulating widely in China now that includes jokes about the murder of the Dalai Lama, an earthquake killing everyone in Japan, China testing a nuclear weapon in San Francisco, China accidentally bombing the Pentagon, and China re-absorbing Taiwan.

Ultra-nationalism doesn’t spring about in a vacuum (Rwanda, Bosnia, etc. – they were all state-incited).  The Chinese government needs to start acting as a responsible member of the world community, not like a genocidal and thuggish clique.  Unfortunately when it comes to Tibet, it seems that Beijing reverts to barbarism.

Go read the full post – there’s nothing funny about this “spoof” and given Beijing’s intense internet censorship, this “spoof” seems to at least be tacitly approved of by the Chinese government.
