Time to tell them how the Chinese feel

I have been receiving more emails from overseas these days than usual.

Writing from India, Australia, the United States and elsewhere, some readers hope to make me, and more Chinese through me, understand their points of view.

One Tibetan, living in India, wrote to me, saying that the "Tibetans in exile are seeking autonomy and not freedom and that our means of realizing this goal is through peace and non-violence. There are times when our adrenaline does the talking, we break things, we shout, we cry but physically harming and hitting people is out of the question".
