Dalai Lama Aides to talk with CCP
Sure, I don’t really expect anything to come out of this, but something is better than nothing. I mean the Dalai Lama mentioned this a while ago, but the CCP finally came out and made it official. Maybe they’ve been talking this whole time and they only just announced [...]

Well, things have gone back to normal here at the Stupid Pig China Blog after a few days of high (relatively) activity. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised by the comments that I received here, especially those who replied to the survey, since I expected the worst. I thought I would have no [...]

This project looks very interesting and hopefully will stay away from the name-calling that has infected most other groups. Check it out, maybe something productive will come of it.

So I usually don’t do surveys because my blog is too small to get an adequate response, but I guess I might as well give it a shot. Here are two questionnaires that I made, one for Free Tibet supporters and the other for Beijing Olympics supporters. Those of you who have read my blog [...]

London Torch Relay Disrupted
So I’m a big fan of ‘free speech’. There’s this game I play called ‘Nation States’ where you make a bunch of decisions for your country ranging from economic policy to how to deal with religious nutcases. Whenever I get the choice of whether to ’shut up these idiots’ or ‘let them [...]

Tibet Action Movie
So, it started me thinking… unrest in Tibet, a tiny flame carrying the hopes of all China stored at secret base camp high in the mountains, tight security, and government secrecy. Hrmm. Throw in a glass of holy water from some glacial Tibetan lake, Bruce Willis, and a bad-ass monk or two trying [...]

Wen Jiabao willing to open dialog with Dalai Lama
I’ve only been able to find this on China Digital Times, so I’ll refrain from posting until I hear more about this. So while most people would scoff at Mr. Wen’s comments about the Dalai Lama, this is actually pretty big. It’s a face saving statement that [...]

So as some of you know, WordPress allows you to see what search engine terms people use to find your blog. Usually people search ‘China’ or ‘Tibet’ or ‘Bjork’ and end up here, but occasionally there are some strange ones. However, there is none stranger than this:
“funny looking bald men without chins”
… … …
Anyways. Tibetan [...]

Previously I wrote a post about the angry response of the Han Chinese towards the Tibetan riots, so I’ll ignore those types of comments for now. Instead, here are some links to different Chinese views on the situation.
Tibet: Her Pain, My Shame
Tibet is disappearing. The spirit which makes her beautiful and peaceful is disappearing. She [...]

So I was never a huge fan of the Dalai Lama like some people in the west are. They always say he’s so ’spiritual’ and ‘peaceful’ and a ‘great leader’ and so on and so on. I don’t really know much about him and I never really met the guy, so me praising him as [...]
