Chinese brainwashing. When they come back home, tell them "Port City Sucks, Dalai Lama, and free Tibet" if they throw a fit they will need to be send to a re-education camp lol.

Why China? Even if China funds it we could have gone to a EU country and learn from them. Only good thing to learn from China is hanging corrupt officials

Hope they keep behind the new pistols issued to them. They can get cheap Chinese toy pistols to frighten people like the Tangalle Mayor.
