China on the march

Some pretty worrying stuff happening in this part of the world concerning the Beijing Olympics.

Yesterday, I was working in town. Suddenly a sea of red walked and shouted its way past the door of the shop (on the main shopping street). The crowd was so noisy, the customers couldn’t talk to us and had to wait until they passed by.

After the noise died down, the customer I was trying to communicate with told me that the Chinese people on the march were not from the capital. They had been paid to come to the city from a university town to the north. It is a university which has a large group of students from China. They were bussed to the capital to demonstrate.

Yesterday over 4000 pro-China marchers walked through the streets of Auckland, and several pro-Tibet demonstrators were beaten up.

New Zealand is promoting Chinese immigration...........................
