the Tibet incident
I think it was more about China’s sensitivity than my rebelliousness. When I was in Denmark I mentioned Greenland and The Faroe Islands and there wasn’t one complaint. In Shanghai I was just documenting an emotion that most people can relate to. I feel sorry for China, actually. The Olympics are coming and how will they deal with the protests there ?
Some newspapers said I screamed ‘Tibet ! Tibet !’, but if you watch it on YouTube you’ll see I just said it in a normal voice. There was no reaction in the room whatsoever ; it was only later that people started to complain. I think it was the Chinese government going on to teen websites. They were trying to speak the kids’ lingo and writing, ‘She’s not cool’, or whatever – I mean how sad is that ?
