- Description
Shows a Chinese soldier driving a tank which has the five interlinking circles that are the symbol of the Olympic Games painted on its side. He grins and says 'Roll on Beijing', as he rolls over a flag with the words 'Free Tibet' on it and as Tibetan monks flee to escape. Refers to the fact that the 2008 Olympic Games are to be held in Beijing and yet China has human rights issues like the Tibetan fight for independence that are still very problematic. The cartoon shows Tibetan monks protesting.
