Fly On The Wall Of China

I’ve been watching that Year In Tibet programme lately. I normally don’t like reality TV, but this is more like a documentary. It’s kind of like Big Brother, except without the jacuzzi.

Day Twelve  – And Kelsang’s been called to the consulate to explain his doubts over China’s selection of the Panchen Lama.

You can watch the show on your electronical computer machines, by the way, right here.

Spooky update – I wrote this last night, and this morning news is breaking about the biggest protests in twenty years in Lhasa, with troops surrounding three monastaries and reports of gunfire.You can read that story here and get breaking updates at the excellent Radio Free Asia who are all over this story. 

Media access, in fact communication access, into and out of China is extremely limited, which is why I feel that people with access to mass communication (which is me and you as well these days) have a duty to fuck the Chinese government as and when necessary.

You’re either with me or against me. Or both, if you play your cards right.

Only joking. Easy.

Have a good weekend everyone.
