Tibet, the neighboring country of China has protested the summer Olympics in Beijing. The Tibetans and Chinese have disputed over the separation of Tibet from China and unfortunately the disputes have interfered with our worlds most treasured event. Tibet and protesters have disrupted the Olympic torch trail across all of the participating countries, attempting to put out the flame. In England, the torch was put out by a protesters fire extinguisher while provoking the runners of the torch.
How does the protesting of the Olympics affect politics and America? (You may ask) Well, the protesters on Ti bets freedom have caused a lot of disruption for China and its people. This has caused other countries and media to stipulate if China should continue to host the Olympic games. Since the uproar and attention of the protesting, China has taken action to use force to control their streets and has shot and killed Tibetans. This has provided large concerns to nations such as America and wish to mediate the issue with China. China on the other hand has refused to allow media to interview and address the issues at hand in China.
The Chinese felt originally that the games would provide a wonderful leap in their current battle of civil rights within the country but instead taken a leap backward. The controversy between Tibet and China should not be incorporated into a world wide shared games which is dated back to ancient times of our world civilization. This types of heinous acts during the times of the Romans wouldn't be tolerated and as a matter of fact they didn't happen because the rules of the Olympic games was to stop war during the event, out of respect for the greatness of it. These acts don't just affect the U.S but the whole world.
