Christina Chan has more sex instincts rather than political sense that is why she always shows her projected breasts on all the occasions. Every one knows that it is NOT proper to mix sports with politics re-declareby International Olympic Committee all the time. Being a political sensitive university student, whatever a Chinese or not, you should have strong objection to CNN comments on Chinese ” a bunch” of “goon”. Why dont you oppose in public?! It is the common sense that the territory ownship is decided by the government, not by its people. That is why Hong Kong’s future was decided by the British and Chinese government, not by Hongkongers.
Dear Christina,
You have a lot of courage and you stand for your ideas. I like that despite my opinion about Tibet are a bit different from your’s. However, China needs freedom, democracy and humam rights first and not the Olympic Games first.I worked in China for 10 years, speak fluent Putonghua and have a lot of friends there. I know that these fanatic nationalists who hinder other people to speak out their free opinion, are a minority in China.
China will become a democracy one day and all minorities will enjoy their freedoms as well. The Communist party is in long-term doomed to fail.Again: I support you in speaking out your free opinion and I admire your enthusiasm. Frank
As a graduate of Arts Faculty, HKU, in the 1980s I wholeheartedly support Christine’s brave move. She championed the core values of HK of freedom of speech. She made no regret to speak out of her mind. HKU is proud of you!
P.S. I am dired heart lover of CHINA and support CHINESE UNIFICATIONS!!
Progressives who dared demonstrate or speak out during the 50s and 60s were harshly treated by the British colonial masters. Today’s democracy and freedom advocates should not forget the brave men and women of Hong Kong’s earlier generation.
To “Lala”:
Sports and politics have ALWYAS been mixed. The Olympic is the most poltical sports event anyway. That is why the chinese government was so hot in getting the bid. If is were improper, how come the chiense government in the past supported boycotts e.g. in Moscow???? Learn history! There are in fact serveral examples where particularly the chinese government played politics with the olympics.
CNN: I def. dont agree with those comments, however if you are masureing with the same standard, then besides being “anti-CNN” you def. need to prostest everyday against chinese-(state)-media. They are everything else then balanced and quite often insulting to a certain nationality.
As for HK: Hong Kong Society is much more marture than the one in the mainland. HKers are def. able to handle their own matters. That this is not possible is because beijing doesnt allow it. Thats why there where in fact a number of “pro-democracy”-rallies in the territory. But as long no-one carries a tibet-flag you wont notice it, isnt it?

Progressives in HK were not treated NEARLY as harshly as those on teh mainland who dared to speak out. Hong Kong was and is the most open and tolerant place in China. That is a credit mostly to Hong Kong people, but it is also a credit partly to the British.
Christina, I applaud your courage in speaking your convictions!
shes alot uglier than i have thought, which have contributed to the reduction of her persuasiveness. lol
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it’s time to pause and reflect.” Well done.
I am sick of chinese people getting pissed off with people protesting tibet and chinas human rights.
We who are fortunate to live in democracies unlike china have the freedom to say what we like and you cant stop it no matter how many flags u burn and shops u boycott.
I am glad to live in New Zealand where i can say what i think whenever wherever…beatuiful isnt it!
Democracy rules!!!
This attractive philosophy student found herself becoming something of a poster child of the free Tibet movement, solely because of her looks. The chattering classes on the internet showed the only possible response a fickle audience can generate when a person of great beauty appears at the picket lines; never mind that she has a weak campaign. People focused on the personality instead of the tenuous issues she was supposed to represent. At least we have the consolation of knowing where similar manifestations are doomed to end up.
Back at university it’ll soon be all forgotten, showing she did it because it’s the activist flavour of the month, the latest gimmick of the trendy student cabal with whom she consorts.
[I am sick of chinese people getting pissed off with people protesting tibet and chinas human rights.]
It goes both ways. Chinese people are also sick of Free Tibeters who ignore the
undemocratic ways of their feudal theocratic history, and the human rights abuse inflicted upon the serfs by the Tibetan aristocracy.
Hola cristina me gustan mucho tus fotos y tu precioso pais, pero lo siento
yo solo hablo en español,lo siento megustaria saber mas cosas
Oh please, just an average looking girl seeking some attention. Nothing to see here. Move on.
Chan How Man, I support you
bahhhhhh… IF you all didnt know…..Tenzin is Tibetan name… which makes me Tibetan…As a Tibetan i am here to say “Thank You” and funny thing is.. You all should be happy for what she did.. Man.. i know everyone wants Freedom.. not just my people….
…. Free Tibet………………….
Tibetan serfs who suffered under the old theocracy and treated as slaves have their freedom. they sure don’t want you Tibetan exiles back in power so that you can rob them of their freedom again.
i a sick of the chaines pepole whan they kill my countarey pepole
can’t they ever think what tibetan feel when each day they pepole die!!!!!!!!!!!!
This young lady is a hero becuase she irrespective of anything else she put Tibet before herself , this shows just how much she loves Tibet so here is a poem i have written about Tibet and i wish to dedicate it to her
Thought ” China does not own Tibet and never will , see Tibey is in the hearts and spiritual life of the people , where they are so to is Tibet , all china has is a piece of land , pity they dont study history for no one can own anything for long, as the spring comes each year so to will the summer of Tibet , to people of Tibet never give up for we love you , i love you , i love your H.H Dalai Lama , remeber Tibet lives within you and your spirit something the chinese can never steal from you
Dedicated to Christine Chan
I am the Candle Flame
Tony Robin Bulley 17th October 2008 ©
I am the candle flame for Tibet on high
My country stolen mountains in the sky
Valleys weep your clouds float on by
Freedom taken from me that’s why I cry
Oh mountain trails how I miss your track
My flame burns bright I want you back
Within my soul I yearn my eyes wet
Tibet you were my life ill not forget
Why did you come take my home away?
Even then you didn’t ask I had no say
You stole my heart my spirit all I had
Now here I burn my flame bright but sad
What did I do I ask the question why
For I grow weary to see my land for I die
Here I stand you smile look down on me
Ill fight for you till my death to set you free
So many years I’ve suffered silent in pain
How I yearn to touch your gentle soil again
To climb to yonder mountain peek above
Once more my spirit to feel of your love
hi how are you? thank you so much of help tibetan
Christina Chan really thank you so much for support to Tibet and especially in 2008 you have worked and protest to china for free Tibet when the Olympic Torch threw in Hong Kong and then the police arrested and beat you but you protest to china for free Tibet by one mind and one heart. Then I was cry because I saw you in you tube when you protest in Hong Kong and some polices beat you and took away by a police car. Therefore my two hands put together on my chest and say thank you so much and I will never ever forget it. Then the Buddha blesses you all the time and long live. Good luck. Free Tibet….
Chan Hau Man, go ahead I dupport you,
She has inspired me greatly.
There is a definitive difference between “Free Tibet Movement” and “promotion of people self-determination”.
As a Hong Kong University student and resident, what Christina is promoting is the latter. She has never spoken for the former.
The intelligence behind her conviction is not for the sake of Tibet, but for Hong Kong. If activists like her do not use the platform that Hong Kong has for advancing the cause for a higher degree of democracy within China, then China will not have a good chance of becoming democratic in the 50 years term given to Hong Kong. If Hong Kong is not even allowed to hold protests for democracy during its 50 years autocratic term as per the UK-China agreement at the 1997 Handover, then the world can see that China cannot hold her promises as well as having an aspiration for the greater good of her people.
This, is what “Promotion of People’s Self-determination” means! “Free Tibet” on its own is simply a self-seeking end; it has no higher motive to advance China to a democratic level.
I think that everybody no matter whatever they said,but actually we are just humand being. then we ought to think ourself then others. I mean actually we will be honest and tell the truth
be free everyone who under suffering
Hello Christina, thanks very much for your kindness and support for Tibet issue
You become a hero of HKU and HK people.
I fully support you. You become a hero in Hong Kong. Hong Kong people love you forever! Continue to fight for justice for Hong Kong.
