Eating human babies???? Blah, blah, blah, that's such an old turkey. Everybody knows that it was a hoax story concocted by a HK or Taiwanese tabloid magazine in 80s/90s. Oh well, I suppose once something is on the net it never dies. It seems those who are ignorant and gullible are always the first to fear and hate and are the last to self-reflect.

Actually if you go to youTube and search Korea+ Torch+Chinese+students you will see that the fights were actually initiated by Korean demonstrators first and alot of the objects supposedly used for violence were actually brought to the scene by Korean demonstrators as well. Seems to me to be another case of selective narrative to fit one's own purpose.

koreans are much more well mannerd than chinese. I'm pissed people make us out to be like them.they are dirty, eat anything that crawls (even human babies), go to other countries and beat up its citizens, and then say china is the best nation. I feel sick that their people are allowed in our country, but then, some chinese are good people. the rest are mindless nationalist who need to be deported to their coutry, or worst... north korea XD

Actually the Tibetan protesters have used violence and force in the other relays. But I find it interesting that these Chinese students' behaviour tended to reflect the culture of their host countries. The students were not protesting violently in Japan or Thailand, whereas in S Korea their demonstration seems to reflect the usual course of Korean demonstrations, which is that it usually ends in violence. Very interesting.

if chinese have such a problem then go protest in your own country. don't take your violence to other countries or at least learn how to protest peacefully.
