While the Chinese government has called the protests "vile," many ordinary Chinese see the protests as evidence of that the West aims to humiliate and control China. The state press has been filled with indignation, especially after the Paris leg, and labeled the protests the work of "Tibetan separatist forces." Chinese torchbearer Jin Jing, who uses a wheelchair, has emerged as a hero in the domestic press.
