The Chinese are no different

"Chinese President Hu Jintao took a hard line Saturday in his first remarks on the recent unrest in Tibet, saying the matter is an internal affair that directly threatens Chinese sovereignty." "China does not interfere in other countries' internal affairs, nor does it try to impose its own will on others," he said. As Tibet's former Communist Party boss, Hu enforced a harsh crackdown against the last major anti-government protests there in 1989. He has tightened Chinese rule over the Himalayan region since taking over as president in 2003, stepping up controls over Tibetan Buddhism and increasingly opening the region to travel and migration from other parts of China. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said a U.S. House resolution passed Wednesday "crudely interfered in China's internal politics, seriously hurting the feelings of the Chinese people."
