I clearly remember and old B&W newscast in the UK, years ago, back in the 60s, with a load of Chinese students protesting in London. They all were holding up the book by its corner and chanting, in unison, "Down with British Imperialism!". Can't think why, as by that time most colonies had become independent, or close to it. And they should talk - annexing Tibet, and now moving in the furniture!
