In the final section of China’s Tibet Documentary they show Tibetan aristocrats riding their serfs like horses. I know this is bias, but that’s really bad.

This section is all about how great it was when China quelled the Tibetan rebellion and liberate the serfs. They also declare that there was no possibility of cheating in the following election.

This section gets into some American involvement, the CIA mostly, and how the Dali Lama worked to prevent equality for serfs. They also compare Mao to Lincoln.

This segment covers the gap of wealth in Lhasa, Tibet’s capital It’s interesting to note how often they refer to the Dali Lama as connected to the upper class and the serf system.

This section really gets into what the Chinese government wants to expose about Tibet. They talk about the Dali Lama trading serfs as property, and how the Tibetan government lied to China about how they treated serfs as non-citizens. I don’t know how credible this is, considering how much emotional music they use, but if so, shame on Tibet.

This video from CCTV is the first in a 6 part series about Tibet’s serfs. It reeks of propaganda to me, but it’s still interesting to see what the Chinese government does to discredit the history of Tibet and the Dali Lama. They focus on the serfs and how the Tibetan government and upper class mistreated them.

Cartoon from China Daily

Countries like Croatia have been trying to get EU approval for years now, focusing much of their budgeting and planning on building a stable enough currency to merge with the Euro. Right now, with the economy of Eastern Europe disintegrating, it is more vital than ever for these countries to be propped up by the Euro. But at the same time, the risk for the EU is that much greater.
