To many people's surprise, nearly all the major Western media have been involved in reporting false facts on Tibet. Some cannot even figure out the difference in appearance between Chinese and Indian people.
On major Chinese web forums, discussions on the truth behind the recent Lhasa Riots and the Tibet issue has peaked in the past two weeks.
As well as anger and doubt about false reports and support for government action, there are a considerable number of posts on collecting solid historical facts on the status and development of Tibet under Chinese sovereignty.
Many Chinese media workers and scholars have also analysed the Western media's agenda.
In the age of information and the Internet, there will always be people watching when the truth is not told.
