    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”?
