Americans held as China Cracks Down on pro-Tibetan Groups

wait till the olympic games are over.  Then the real crack down will begin.

While we find this story important, relevant and newsworthy and thank Olivier for mentioning it, the manner in which this was written does not reflect journalistic independence and should also be edited for copy, as well as content. How about:

China’s government is cracking down once again. This
time it is going after American and foreign isn’t
anyone in China who isn’t Chinese “foreign”?  blogger-activists who are pro-Tibetan. So far a dozen people have been
arrested as Beijing intensifies its crackdown.

Students
for a Free Tibet reported that fix? citizen
journalists What’s a citizen journalist? Giving
someone a computer and an Internet connection doesn’t make him a
journalist, any more than putting someone in the cockpit of a 747 makes him a
pilot who were in Beijing to promote Tibetan freedom If they were in Beijing to promote Tibetan freedom, they
weren’t journalists; they were activists have been detained.
Activist/artist James Powerderly had also been nabbed.

On
Wednesday, two Americans and a Brit were arrested for displaying a Tibetan flag outside the National Stadium, Bird's
Nest. “National Stadium, Bird’s Nest”
is not the name of the venue; Bird’s Nest is a nickname for it.

China’s government is highly sensitive to criticism
of its engagement in Tibet, -- what kind of punctuation
is that? the Communist troops entered the region in 1950.

"In
relation to foreigners holding demonstrations in Beijing in support of Tibet
independence, competent authorities have the right to handle these things
according to law," Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang told said at a news conference on Wednesday.

The
world is watching very closely now because of the Olympics. Many fear that once
the games are over, the Chinese government will clampdown clamp down once again. This
isn’t reporting; it’s opinion: “The world”? “Many
fear”?
