...Bias Against China? In previous issues, TIME has indeed given much time to the political aspirations of some Tibetans, despite their violent protests. But in "Why China's Burning Mad," peaceful protests were marked as "virulent nationalism" with little serious reflection on the nature of the protesters' beliefs [May 5].

The root cause of so much dissatisfaction among the Chinese people is the sense of being treated unfairly by Western media. Sadly, in Western democracies there is hardly anyone to speak for China.
