This year the Olympic Games has much problems with the Country Tibet. China rules already Tibet 60 years long illegal. Many people of Tibet are demonstrating against China but till now nothing has helped much. China says that Tibet is there land and that they’re not allowed to play the Olympic Games. Tibet accepts that not and there is much support from other country’s. Holland supports Tibet to. Much organizations from Holland are demonstrating to against China. Chinese people can not demonstrate because they where not allowed to speak wrong words about China. We’re hoping that Tibet still can play the Olympic Games. X
