Political situation is good for travelling in China in August?

I'll go to China in August 2008 starting from Xinjiang and trought the countries of Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan until Beijiing. I wanna know if in your opinion the political situation will be good for a travel in those countries of China. If you are coming from one of those countries please give me an advice about my next travel and uùinform me about the situation you have found there.
Thanks. Reply to this

I'm in Beijing right now and things seems pretty stable. The government isn't allowing any large scale functions of any kind, so they're really keeping a close watch on things. Xinjiang might be a bit more explosive but I wouldn't know. Tibet too- but I'm pretty sure you'll be ok wherever you go. Reply to this

HI MELL
TAKE it easy~~
I believe most people are kindly and friendly , but just a little are bad-man
it s difficult to explain that by my poor english ,Y~ maybe you can understand .or not
AS we know TIBEt is one provinces of China , but dalai who is a monk . i dont know foreigner how to call him who is always want TIBET to independence .
Donot discuss about these, just talk about tour ,
enjoy yourself
GOD LUCK Reply to this

OK I will tell somethings about DAlai,maybe the history that i will tell you have not heard before ,then talk about Taiwan
FIRST , Dalai Lama is only a title that does not a person~s name and who hold this title he will be one of the Spiritual leaders of the TIBET s Buddhism . now this Dala Lama is the fourteen Dalai Lama . the word Dalai means the sea, Lama means who is above the other man . the word Dalai lama is Mongolian
TIbet is always a part of CHINA . the title Dalai had been given by the king of China , you can find the trace from a book calld 《宗教源流考》.
before 1959 A.D. ， Tibet is always in slave society ! DO you know that ? the PLA want to change the old society, but the Dalai refused then he went to India . some years ago, there was a crime in Tibet , their lead called them to fight with local civil ,destory shop . donot you think he is terriorst ? Reply to this

THE PLA is Chinese army.
there is a mistake in my last message. "some years ago" is wrong that s some months ago, in March , hadnot you heard somethings from Tibet?
I had said before Dalai Lama went out of TIbet , the Tibet was in SLAVE society .

and the Dalai said he want Tibet to be free ? whats the "free" he refered to ? the Tibet ~s civil to be free ? or the Tibet is to be free by his governance for a new country? and if he refer to the second , he is dividing my motherland . maybe u always hold the view which is Tibet is not to be free and civil lived in suppressing ?
i wonder how dou you have this mind ?
have u been to Tibet ? are u heard the Tibet~s civil say"i am not free"?
If not ~ how do you know Tibet is not peaceful ?

i strongly suggest you to visit Tibet for listenning and looking . Reply to this

Do you mean they were slaves to the Dalai Lama? Well, he is their respected religious leader. Personally I think it would be a good thing if Tibettans listen to the Dalai Lama more than they do.

A lot of Tibettans do not want to be part of China. They do not feel that it is their land and want to govern themselves. At the very least I think they should be allowed to publicly express this desire without fear.

..are u heard the Tibet~s civil say"i am not free"? ...

Well, yes I have. There are some brave ones who take the risk of being interviewed by the Western media.

i strongly suggest you to visit Tibet for listenning and looking .

I could listen to Tibettans speaking on this forum. I saw posts from Chinese people who approve of the Chinese government but none who dont. In your opinion, why are there no Tibettans speaking on this forum? Also there must be Chinese people who do not approve of the Chinese government. I met one the last time I was in Dublin and had a very interesting conversation with him. Why do people like him not speak on this forum?

I dont know ~ but i am sure just a little Tibettans can speak English, and do you go to China forums which forums are used Chinese . Tibet now is also a very poor place . i went to there 2 years ago , MOSTof them were poor , most of them did not go out of China . if you have not gone there ,you really dont know what they think.

YOU tell the "the Western media" , I donot how to say that ! . NOW most of Chinese people are rejecting BBC!
DO you know the BBC garble the truth about a affair happened in Tibet in March , i am very angry with that . they used fake photos on their Website. how can we intrustion West media.

Maybe you can meet Chinese people in Western Country who tell you how Chinese terrible she is. last year I
had been to Paris , i saw a women who is Chinese publicized negative about China , so i asked her politely : 中国真的那样么?( is China really that?) , the women was ashamed 😞混口饭吃,拿点钱,在外面生活不容易) only for meal , lived in abroad is hard , if I do that my master will give my salary.
MEll ,how many people like u really know the truth , so if u canot to Tibet ,u will never know the truth.


Anyway Timreh, you seem to be confident that there will be no unrest in China during the Olympics?? Well, at least that is good for foreigners who are going to see the Olympics.

i cannot comprehend what you say
do you think Chinese government will persecute foreigners? if that , u really do not know China and make a deep mistake about China
or , do you mean who will raid Chinese during the Olympics ? if someones who raid Chinese ,but it ~s not duty to him but duty to CHINA . can i comprehend that the 911 event are not duty to the terrores but duty the U.S. , what a absurd thought
At my first message in the forum , i said "in fact , the Chinese govenmnet are never trying to squash civilian unless someones want to divide the country "
none of Chinese people can bear anyone who want divide their motherland
can you bear one of the U.S. places make independence ?


I find you usually use the word " I think" that is unfair to CHINA ,
if i have been teached that the U.S. is alway a terrible country and my parents tell me the U.S is a autarchy , and always fake things or negative tings for the U.S. ,, and the people who tell me that never have been to the U.S.! Reply to this

Are you saying that the BBC actually in some way made photos rather than take them? Why would they do this? Also, in your opinion why would the BBC lie about what happened in Tibet in March? Would they have something to gain from doing so?

do you think Chinese government will persecute foreigners?

No, but political demonstrations might take place or riots.

....can you bear one of the U.S. places make independence ?

I often wonder why so many object to regions having their independence.
