Blog Chinese demonstrators in Paris
April 20th, 2008Yesterday, 19 April 2008, around 4,000 Chinese, mainly students, living in France have demonstrated in Paris, supporting the Olympic Games, condemning the French government and Reporters without border. They were repeating the official slogans of China government.
They said that Tibet is an internal question and that the question of human rights in China has not to be discussed by others countries. One student said that the tempo of increasing democracy in China is a home affair.
As a journalist, in response asked if they think that there is too much freedom in France, a female Chinese student said “yes”, but it is the French democracy that allowed her to demonstrate against the French government with no problem.
What could happened if French citizens demonstrate Tiananmen Square criticizing the Chinese government ? Prison or expulsion ?
