墨尔本大报报道周日游行 突出藏独支持者被学生殴打场面
据2008年4月14日周一出版的墨尔本本地大报《Herald Sun》报道，数千名中国的支持者在周日在墨尔本市中心举行示威游行，联邦广场变成了“红色海洋”。
不过，一位名叫Shane Wells的藏独支持者表示，当自己在州立图书馆前面高呼支持西藏独立的口号时被多达15名中国留学生殴打。他说自己被一名学生猛击头部，另外一些示威学生则将攻击者藏匿在照相机后面。他说，“这是典型的中国式做法，听到不同声音就以暴力相向。”
Red Square for pro-China march
April 14, 2008 12:00am Article from: Herald Sun
SWANSTON St was a sea of red as up to 4000 Chinese rallied yesterday in support of their homeland's right to rule Tibet.
Pro-China protesters blasted the media, politicians and supporters of the Dalai Lama for what they called lies over China's role in Tibet.
While the rally was mostly peaceful, it was marred by an attack on a man by several protesters, seen by a photographer.
Shane Wells, a pro-Tibet supporter from South Yarra who lived in Tibet, was punched by up to 15 protesters near the State Library after he yelled pro-Tibet chants.
One attacker punched him to the head from behind, while other protesters shielded the attack from cameras.
"Their reaction took me by surprise," Mr Wells said.
"This is typical of China, that someone voices any opinion against them and then they get violent about it."
The attack was not reported at the time to police, who said the rally was incident-free.
Protesters said Tibet had been part of China for more than 1000 years and Tibetans had greatly benefited from Chinese rule, with improved health and infrastructure.
Rally spokesman Arthur Lai said separatists, not Chinese forces, were to blame for violence in Tibet's capital, Lhasa, on March 14.
"They simply went on the streets and attacked everybody," said Chinese-born Mr Lai, 18, a university commerce student who lives in South Yarra.
"The Chinese Government only reacted."
Louise Clayton, state president of the Australia-China Friendship Society, won rapturous applause.
"Celebrity followers of the Dalai Lama, and there seem to be a lot of them, and other outsiders are opportunistically seeking to challenge China's longstanding sovereignty," Ms Clayton said.
"The fact remains the vast majority of Chinese, including Tibetans, do not want Tibet to be separated from China.
"While the Dalai Lama cultivates the image of a peace-loving religious figure . . . it is clear he is a political figure with a political agenda."
Protesters waved Chinese flags, chanted slogans in Mandarin and English, and sang the Chinese anthem as they marched from Fed Square to the State Library.
