Did China Legitimize a Video from the Tibetan Government in Exile?
Time Magazine's blog says yes after they have shut down YouTube in China in a rather heavy handed way. I tend to agree. Banning voices (Christian Science Monitor on the banning of the Dalai Lama from a South African peace conference) and messages (CTV on banning Roger Galloway from Canada) just tends to make them stronger. It's a pity given that I think there is an "other side" when it comes to these issues. Those with power should have learned by now that by attempting to crush a message, you often have quite the opposite effect.
