Yes, let's do our bit to help understanding of Chinese culture...

   [ Guardian, June 13-14 1992 ]

   When the next demonstrations took place, in 1988, the Chinese brought 
   in specially-trained riot squads -- Gyaltsen Chodon was one of five 
   young nuns who, in September of that year, carried a Tibetan flag and 
   shouted, "Free Tibet" in the Tibetan part of Lhasa. When the police 
   came, "they threw us into the truck like so many stones, twisted our 
   arms behind us and drove us to Drapchy. There they beat us, chained us
   to a wall and set the dogs on us. Later on they stripped us and used 
   electric cattle prods all over our bodies, several men and women at a 
   time probing eyes, mouth, nose, vagina, everywhere. They used the 
   prods like toys, enjoying themselves especially when they applied them
   to our private parts. They actually laughed as they did these things. 
   You're garbage, they said, forcing us to answer to names like: pig, 
   horse, donkey, cow and so on."

   Sometimes the young nuns were laid face down on the ground, arms 
   outstretched -- while iron rods were dropped on their backs from a 
   great height. (As a result Gyaltsen's spine was irreperably damaged). 
   "They would tread on our hands with their huge iron-tipped boots, kick
   us in the face and stomach. They put buckets of urine and shit on our 
   heads and the guards hit the buckets with sticks, roaring with 
   laughter as the excrement streamed down our face and bodies. They 
   would take the momo (small dumpling) which was our lunch, dip it in 
   the filth and force us to eat it."

   A young doctor, Tashi Dolma, had left her job in obstetrics in protest
   against the inhumanity of the regime's birth control policies. In 
   Tibet, state employees are allowed only one child; others carry a card
   permitting them two -- "No-one escapes", Tashi Dolma said. "In remote 
   areas, where there is no hospital, teams of Chinese doctors and nurses
   arrive in two jeeps, one for themselves, the other for their 
   equipment. They go from village to village over a period of two to 
   three months, performing on-the-spot compulsory abortions and 
   sterlization. At the end of each trip they have usually handled about 
   2,000 cases. As a doctor, Tashi was an employee of the state. She had 
   a little boy of three and a half, and when she became pregnant for a 
   second time, she was forced to have an abortion.

   She said: "They forced me onto a table, inserted an electrical device 
   into my uterus and left me alone like that for hours, bleeding 
   profusely. Then they came and inserted some kind of spatula, twisting 
   it round, scraping the foetus out in small pieces."

"I have always been proud to be a chinese."
