Not appropriate

I really don't think it is appropriate for BU-today to show us a news like this. This whole China, Olympics and Tibet thing is real complicated and there are huge political interest behind both Chinese and American government. Both Chinese and American media has their own bias. BU is an academic community. People here should read things more insightful. If you want to show us what's going on in the world, please show us your objective analysis, not just one-sided critics. Yes, I know this paper doesn't express the BU-today's opinion about the media fight about the Olympics, Tibet and human right issues, but the facts you are using are consequence of those issues. You cannot just take what you want disregarding the complicated reasons behind it. BU has a large international student population, including lots of Chinese students. Chinese students know their government needs to improve her ways to control the country, but they are really not responsible for the human right and the Tibet issue. BU-today sent a paper like this to every single student's email box of BU community. What kind of effect are you expecting? Are you making things more clear? NO. You are only making Americans hate Chinese more and making all Chinese students' life even harder than it already is in a foreign country. This news really doesn't do anyone good.
