Yes, we can disagree on the treatment of Tibet. But I swear some people here (and I only say some) are using this thread as an opportunity to bash Chinese culture and Chinese way of life in general.

Well, I personally would like to differentiate my criticism between the Chinese State and the Chinese people. My long-term girlfriend is Chinese, from the South, and has quite a traditional/cultural family. I feel pretty privileged to be experience some of their holiday/family traditions and I definitely respect all that I see.
The deference to authority is a little hard to take, but I can look past it.
