You can burn the Chinese flag in the US. I am sorry,I don't think it will help your people. If you could get a letter writing campaign going in the US, Canada and elsewhere, to get the politicians to threaten the Chinese government that the athletes of those countries won't go to the Olympics in China unless they stop the human rights abuses in Tibet, conditions may improve for a time anyway. The Buddhist practices of the Tibetans scare the Chinese a lot.

The USA won't threaten China......where would we find anything to buy then? am sorry to say but that is why some people overseas wonder why we choose one country to fight in the cause of "democracy" but other countries we do support are doing the same thing ....that's one reason we are misunderstood overseas. and before I get bashed over this, I travel overseas and am asked this a lot....and those people LIVE over there and know the facts of whats happening because they are the neighbors. Also, they have had wars on their homelands, yes we had 9/11...but a out and out war? no other than if you want to count Pearl Harbor have we. I just don't think we can continue to go into every country we want to and decide that's the "next" one we'll change for whatever reason. We need to get our own backyards cleaned up and protected here first.

Go for it! Apologists in Canada might be upset but heck with them. It is one of the unforgivable crimes how some Americans aided in the communist overthrow of China and have continued to treat them as valuable trade partners despite their horrendous human rights abuses, in Tibet and China itself. We are responsible for China's growing industrial might, all for the sake of big American corporate intrests, it's like Bush said a few weeks ago, "it all comes down to money". There is no money to be made from Tibet, so it's not important to our nation's leaders. Sad but true. And all those who usually side with the communists, always seem to overlook these human riughts abuses, or point to some tyrant third world dictator the right wing supported as an adversary to communism, as though two wrongs make things even. Of course we have a UN that is supposed to be good for something, but no one has decided what yet.

large thought. maybe this might make the olympics well worth observing. it would additionally be an spectacular way for in any different case unknown athletes to get some notoreity. it rather is a shame that American olympic athletes are not given a similar admire as different athletes interior the country. the U. S. gained gold, silver, and bronze for the a hundred meter sprint in Athens, yet does every physique remember their names? yet all of us understand who Nancy Kerrigan is. meanwhile, the chinese language guy who gained the hurdles remains getting comercial requests interior the land of the no longer-so-unfastened. Face, the Olympics might have as quickly as been the video games of the gods, yet now they are rather uninteresting. I nevertheless do no longer think of diving is a interest, yet i assume that is extra ideal than the Asian video games the place even Chess is assessed as one. Our athletes could adhere with what works to get observed. Doping has been overdone and that they get rid of the medal, basically severe injuries get any assurance, and we quite do no longer choose yet another bloodbath (torch would not conflict with the aid of Tiananmen does it?). Athletes getting arrested and deported for wearing Tibet flags? that should make the front web site of instances, London and long island. extra means to them. yet, be careful, i've got study the China on a daily basis and it in lots of instances comments how the full u . s . a . concurrently gets their thoughts harm. For the naive who say the Olympics should not be political, are you suggesting they do no longer seem to be? as properly, China has been politicizing it for years now. only ask Taiwan who, at China's demanding, could compete below the idiotic call "chinese language Taipei." Politics looks the subject of the video games, who're we to disclaim them. this could be the excellent Genocide Olympics yet.

Can burning the PR China's flag help Tibetans to obtain freedom or independence? I do not think it could. Although the PR China's government is too mean, Tibetans need this evil to survive.

In the US you are legally permitted to burn almost anything as a form of protest. Canada does not have federally protected freedom of speech so you might want to check with the police. I'm not familiar with recent incidents of burning flags or effigies in Canada, but that may just be a difference in traditional protest customs.
Under certain conditions you may be prohibited from burning things for safety reasons, not because you can't protest; be prepared to use non-burning forms of expression if need be.
