‘Free Tibet’ Flags Made in China
A factory in Guangdong, China has been exporting flags overseas during the “Free Tibet” protests ahead of the Olympics in China. Workers said they didn’t know what teh flags meant until they saw them on TV, and alerted the authorities. The factory owner said the orders came from outside China and he didn’t know what they meant.
That is one smart factory owner. He took advantage of the situation to make a little extra cash, and unluckily his employees were too loyal to their country. If you accuse him of ignorance for “not knowing what they meant,” look at so many of the ignorant protestors ordering the flags.
Violent protests started by Tibetans on March 10, and have followed the torch around the world by supporters. Tibet has failed since 1959 in gaining independence from Beijing. Recently migrants have moved into the air from China and have basically taken over the economy. This, along with an apparent discrimination have fueled the protests. The sad thing is that most of these protestors don’t know enough about the controversial situation.
