Imagine if this had been a white foreigner beating the Korean...

Are there any "white foreigner" Chinese?

From the picture, it looks like the Chinese guy hits like a girl.

Where do the Chinese communists learn to protest? Not in their own country, that's for sure.

I went and watched the Olympic Torch arrive at City Hall today. I was there for about three hours waiting. The Chinese students were very well behaved and thrilled to see white people there watching the torch arrive. I also give the South Korean police a great deal of credit as well for professionalism. When the Chinese students got a bit too loud, the Korean police would calmly make a line and break up the group. I saw a few things on the media about violence but that was a very, very small minority. I have seen many protests in Korea and today was a picnic.

You must have been on the wrong block.
The action was on another block.

Unless there are some pictures out there of Chinese students flipping over the police buses or the police trampling someone to death, today went about as smooth as my commute to work each day on the subway. A little pushing is just the Asian way of getting to know one another.

Good video of Chinese protesters kicking the crap out of protesters in a hotel in this thread.

I was there and so were hundreds of foreigners having a good time. I don't think that these reports are a true reflection of events. About four people held up Tibetan flags outside the hotel but what really were they expecting? There just have been 6000 Chinese people there singing songs. Its like going to a nation of Islam meeting dressed up as klu klux klan member. the whole thing was over pretty quickly, actually in a matter of seconds. That was the only event in an otherwise enjoyable afternoon.

He probably deserved it and it doesn't look like he is hurting him, just slapping him like a bitch.

They need to stop this silly tradition. It just stirs up a bunch of trouble. Is this why DongDaegu station was insanely crowded today?
