Tłituje Dalai Lama with the Chinese (2)

Paper Tiger presents: an interview with the Dalai Lama of Chinese Internet users in the translation into Polish .

I hope that the translation will help you understand all the twists and turns of Sino-Tibetan dialogue.

In this case, the role of "democracy" there is Igor Janke, who selected a bloggers and their questions.

Barrier? What barrier?

Somewhere in the West after the New Year saw the mercantile dimension of Chinese barriers to the Internet. A think-tank in Brussels wysmażył the report, which now - in the mouth Neelie Kroes - went to recipients in China.

Could Poland borrowed the Chinese art of paper cutting? - Asks a portal to the province of Shanxi.

Next journalist explains that the Poles to come alone and cut-outs - like the Chinese - they are proud of their folk art. Writes up to the area near Warsaw Kolbiel (科乌 别 尔), where women in long autumn evenings wycinały ozodoby different paper on the windows and ceilings of huts! (For me it is moving information, because it comes from my mom Kolbiel; I remember from my childhood view of the traditional great-grandmother, striped skirt - a pity that today, this tradition has died out.)
