Chinese netizens including those studying overseas are fighting back to discredit often distorted, and sometimes dishonest, reports by Western media about the recent riots in Tibet.

A video clip titled "Tibet was, is, and always will be part of China" became an instant hit after it was posted on YouTube on March 15, attracting more than 1.6 million hits and 105,000 comments within eight days.

"Do u bandwagon jumpers really care about Tibet? becuz u know u don't, Tibet is just a TOOL for u guys to throw things at China ... Well since u want to bash China, but do u know ANYTHING about Chinese history?? Let me start by telling u this: The years that Tibet has been a part of China is way the hell longer than US/Canada/Aus/NewZealand's history combined " the producer named Huang Jinshao says in the description.
