Your correspondent is getting a little tired of the toxic debate about Tibet going on in the comments section of this this website, and many other websites.
It's a little like discussing Israel and Palestine: everybody seems to have made up their mind in advance.
So I heartily recommend that all readers wishing to have arguments about Tibet head over to The New York Times, where Nicholas D. Kristof is Calling China:
I think I’m going to write my next column about China, in the wake of the Tibetan protests, and I’d love to hear from some Chinese readers...
... In any case, my sense is that many Chinese — whether in China or outside the country — are deeply indignant at U.S. media coverage of Tibet in particular and China-U.S. relations in general. I get waves of angry emails whenever I write about China and Darfur. So here’s your chance: What do we get wrong, and why? ...
... Americans are welcome to weigh in as well, but In particular I’d love to get some thoughtful Chinese voices.
Go for it boys and girls: your chance to influence New York Times coverage, and help a hack who has discovered journalism 2.0.
