By Rama LakshmiWashington Post Foreign Service Wednesday, April 2, 2008
NEW DELHI, April 1 -- Angry Tibetans in India chanted all kinds of anti-China slogans last month when they gathered to protest the crackdown in their homeland. But one chant, in particular, seemed to be an ominous warning to the government in New Delhi: "China-India brotherhood is a Chinese deception!" the Tibetans shouted.

5.TIBET: CHINA CLAIMS AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL IS BIASED
AGI/EFE) - Beijing, 2 April - The regime in Beijing has rebutted Amnesty International claims, accusing the humanitarian organization of "harbouring prejudice against China." In a very recent report, Amnesty International has once again targeted the People's Republic for the human rights situation, especially concerning the repression underway in Tibet, and warned that the crisis is bound to grow worse as the Summer Olympic Games in August approaches: the latter will not result in an attenuation of the crackdown on dissidents, but the very opposite. "Amnesty International has anti-Chinese prejudices," said Jiang Yu, spokesman for the Beijing Foreign Ministry, "which is why it is easy to image how useful its report is." The humanitarian organization has spoken out on the increase in arbitrary arrests of its opponents, including the journalist Hu Jia, on trial for "subversion of public order," due to a series of interviews in which he criticized his countries' authorities, especially concerning the imminence of the Olympics. "No one in China," said the ministry spokesman in a press conference, "can arrogate the privilege nor the right to be above the law." http://www.agi.it/world/news/200804020932-pol-ren0002-art.html

Japan's Emperor Akihito and other members of the royal family are unlikely to attend the Beijing Olympics amid concerns here about China's crackdown in Tibet and other issues, a report said Wednesday.
The Japanese government thinks it is not a good time for a rare royal visit because of the unrest in Tibet, a recent health scare over Chinese-made "gyoza" dumplings and a spat over disputed gas fields, the Sankei daily said.
"We were planning not to ask royals to go even before the gyoza incident (surfaced in January). It is all the more true now that the Tibetan unrest occurred," it quoted an unnamed government official as saying.
Japanese authorities have confirmed at least 10 people suffered pesticide poisoning after eating tainted dumplings imported from China.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao invited Emperor Akihito and other royals to the opening ceremony of the August Olympics when he visited Japan last year.
The emperor told Wen then that the government decides on the royal family's foreign trips, a palace spokesman said.
The foreign ministry said no formal decision had been made.
"Nothing has been decided regarding the attendance of dignitaries," a ministry official said.
The last trip to China by members of Japan's imperial household was a landmark visit by Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko in 1992.
China remains deeply resentful over Japan's brutal occupation from 1931 to 1945, an era in which the Japanese revered Akihito's father Hirohito as a demigod.
The two countries have recently worked to mend ties, which were strained by former Japanese prime minister Junichiro Koizumi's annual visits to a war shrine in Tokyo, which Beijing regards as a symbol of Japan's militarist past.
Chinese President Hu Jintao is expected to visit Japan in the coming months.
