China 'rented' torch crowd


China 'rented' torch crowd
News 24[Saturday, April 26, 2008 02:33]

Canberra - Chinese officials orchestrated a huge turnout of pro-Beijing students for the Olympic torch's Australian appearance to swamp pro-Tibetan protesters, Canberra's top city official said on Friday.

Australian Capital Territory Chief Minister Jon Stanhope told Sydney's Daily Telegraph that Chinese embassy officials helped organise a crowd of more than 10 000 supporters for the torch relay's visit on Thursday.

"I have absolutely no doubt," Stanhope said. "In fact the ambassador has indicated that he was in contact with representative Chinese organisational groups, most part in Sydney and Melbourne.

"I don't know the nature of the links or the organisation, but I know there was contact between the embassy and Chinese representative groups."

The pro-China crowd vastly outnumbered about 2 000 pro-Tibet activists protesters, at times jostling and heckling them.

"Rent-a-crowd"

The Telegraph, without quoting sources, said it understood Beijing's officials in Canberra were in constant contact with travel companies and student leaders who were recruiting crowd members.

It said China organised a "rent-a-crowd" in Canberra to try to ensure a trouble-free passage for the relay, which was disrupted by pro-Tibet protests in London and Paris and rerouted due to security fears in San Francisco.

Australian officials admitted on Thursday that they were surprised at the Chinese turnout for the relay.

"We didn't expect this reaction from the Chinese community, which is obviously a well co-ordinated plan to take the day by weight of numbers," Canberra Olympic relay committee spokesperson Ted Quinlan said at the time.

The relay's appearance in Canberra was largely peaceful, although there were seven arrests and tensions between rival Tibetan and Chinese supporters.

There was controversy when Australian police tussled with the Chinese "flame attendants" - described as "thugs" by London Olympics official Sebastian Coe - to ensure they had no security role on the day.

Hey Mid, why don't you move over there to Tibet and at least get a long stay visa so then you would have a vested interest into what is going on instead of setting on your dead ass over where living is OK for you and just stirring up shit about something that is none of business.

Blackgang have you received a envelope from a Chinese official lately? I don't see your problem with Midi's post. This isn't a censored Chinese forum last time I looked. Hmm I better be careful in case some blue and white track suits start following me.

Nope, I just can't see why some assholes think it makes em look important to always be sticking their nose in some other countrys private business when they do not have anything going on in either country.
Just the same as some asshole that lives in town keeps bitching about us folks that live in the mountains away from everyone and still bitching about us pissing on a bush in our yard if we want to.,, same fucking thing,, just none of their fuking business and they do no good by doing it, but in their own mind they think that they look bigger to others, more important,, but no really, just more stupid.

So, yes you have stuck your nose in here for 8-years.

Did they have schools when you were growing up? What does "with never going out of the country" actually mean?

Being American has nothing to to with it.
But being a dude like like those that always worry about what is happening to others and wanting to do something about it like MID and the other nosy assholes is what has something to do with it.
I never went into a warzone for making someone else do different, but only went for money, I could care less.

When I go it is not for soldier pay but much better money than that.
So what is wrong with you guys, forgetting what country you are from and what they have done down thru history?
I have never been a politico in any country so what ever they do or have done is no doing of mine, and I really don't care either.

Wrong:

The Invasion of Grenada, codenamed Operation Urgent Fury, was an invasion of the island nation of Grenada by the United States of America and several other nations in response to the illegal deposition and execution of Grenadan Prime Minister Maurice Bishop.

On October 25, 1983, the United States, Barbados, Jamaica and members of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States landed ships on Grenada, defeated Grenadian and Cuban resistance and overthrew the military government of Hudson Austin.

The invasion received a mixed reception, although it enjoyed broad public support in the United States as well as in segments of the population in Grenada. October 25 is a national holiday in Grenada, called Thanksgiving Day, to commemorate this event. Conversely, the invasion was criticised by the United Kingdom, Trinidad and Tobago and Canada.

Approximately 100 people lost their lives.

Wrong:

The 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion was an unsuccessful attempted invasion by armed Cuban exiles in southwest Cuba, planned and funded by the United States, in an attempt to overthrow the government of Fidel Castro, shortly after John F. Kennedy assumed the presidency in the U.S. This action accelerated a rapid deterioration in Cuban-American relations, which was further worsened by the Cuban Missile Crisis the following year.

The invasion is named after the Bay of Pigs, where the landing took place. It is known in Cuba as Invasión de Bahía de Cochinos or Playa Girón.
