Anti-human rights protesters in Canberra start off with a good dose of irony

The busloads of heavily-indoctrinated students the Chinese embassy organised to send up to Canberra so they can finally show their oppressed citizens at home a bit of footage of people happy to see the torch relay, have started with a nice bit of irony:

Chinese supporters chanted ``Stop Lying'' and ``One China Forever''.

"Stop Lying", said the people waving flags representing the regime in Beijing.

Then they started chanting "Stop running over people with tanks!" and "Stop shooting dissidents!" and "Stop refusing to let your people know what's going on!" and the Chinese officials suddenly realised they were talking about them. But it was too late.

Brilliant work, Chinese students. You know you can't mock your own government at home - because they'll kill you - so you get them to pay to send you up to the relay and then sink the boot in. I applaud your cunning.
