…just don’t blame designers for the actions of politicians

OK, so we’re totally against the madness of the goings on in China and Tibet right now, but please let’s not taint the nation as a whole for this.

Of course, we should be celebrating China’s design achievements. Politics should have no bearing on this, otherwise the Tibetan monks’ protests might just become the one defining image of this visually inspiring and wonderful country.
