What shocked Tenzin most was when a Chinese student carrying a pro-China
banner approached him, in the midst of event, and asked him how much he
got
to take part in it; evidently with no idea of the whole torch relay event.
?What happened is that there were lots of pro-Chinese, and one of them
came
to me and asks me how much I got,? Tenzin wrote in our usual online
chat. ?He thought I might be one of them (Chinese),? Tenzin went on.
?And then I asked him back (the same question) and he said he got 350
dollars (US) from the Chinese government to protest against us (Tibetans
and human rights activists). He specifically told us that lots of
students,
almost all of them were paid to protest against Tibetans,? he added.
