抗议者在集会期间闯中国驻澳大利亚大使馆大门 (Protesters Charge Gates of Chinese Embassy in Australia During Rally)

在大约200人星期一聚集在中国驻堪培拉大使馆外抗议中国对待西藏的做法后，澳大利亚警方与抗议者发生推搡。抗议者呼吁澳大利亚联邦政府就西藏人权记录勇敢地面对中国。

抗议活动以呼喊口号、高唱歌曲和平地开始，但是在抗议者向使馆递交请愿信的努力失败后变得紧张。

藏人和人权抗议人士星期一在“人权日”集会期间冲撞中国大使馆大门。一名男子试图爬越大门，其他人把标语牌和旗帜插在门上。

抗议组织者土登泽旺说，这些抗议人士想让外界关注他所说的中国过去50年来对西藏的非法占领以及对西藏人民权力的压迫。

Australian police scuffled with protesters outside the Chinese Embassy in Canberra Monday after about 200 people rallied to protest China's treatment of Tibet. Protesters called on Australia's federal government to stand up to China over its human rights record in Tibet.

The protest started peacefully with chants and songs, but became tense after protesters failed in attempt to pass a petition letter to the embassy.

Tibetan and human rights protesters charged the gates of the embassy Monday during a Human Rights Day rally. One man tried to climb over the embassy's gates while others put placards and flags on them.

Protest organizer Tsewang Thupten said the group was trying to draw attention to what he called China's illegal occupation of Tibet and its repression of the rights of the Tibetan people over the past 50 years.

美国、中国贸易官员强调有必要打击保护主义 (US, Chinese Trade Officials Stress Need to Fight Protectionism)

在美中两国为这个星期就贸易、汇率和知识产权问题准备举行艰难的高层谈判之际，美国和中国官员表示，两国需要同保护主义做斗争。

美国商务部长古铁雷斯星期一在北京举行的一次研讨会上说，美国和中国需要合作，一起遏制保护主义情绪。古铁雷斯说，真正有助于保护市场的只有创新、保持接触和竞争。

中国商务部副部长陈德铭在官方中国日报星期一发表的一篇采访报导中说，双方应当避免非理性和片面地指责对方。

美中官员星期三将在北京开始部长级会谈，预计保护主义问题将受到格外重视。

American and Chinese officials say their countries need to fight protectionism as they prepare for tough high-level negotiations this week over trade, exchange rates and intellectual property.

In remarks to a seminar in Beijing Monday, U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez said America and China need to work together to block protectionist sentiment. Gutierrez said the only things that really help protect markets are innovation, engagement and competition.

In an interview published in the official China Daily newspaper today, Vice Commerce Minister Chen Deming said that both sides should avoid unreasonably and unilaterally blaming the other side.

Protectionism is expected to be given prominent attention this week when U.S. and Chinese officials begin Cabinet-level talks in Beijing on Wednesday.
