For the US, the analog to Tibet would be the overthrow of the monarchy and annexation of Hawaii, or the slaughtering of Native Americans and forcing them to live on undesirable land.
When trying to make this more prominent in the [[Hawaii]] article, folks, including myself, were met immediately with abusive responses from fellow users - "ignorant," "intellectually dishonest," "childish," "blow your own horn."

Nationalistic groupthink is exhibited in many articles, not just China related ones.

Like the mild napalm-bombing of civilians?
Apparently you are either an idiot or read indymedia for your news, as Napalm has not been used in a war for decades.
Meanwhile, the atrocities in Tibet are well documented.
In any case, the point is that the en: wikipedia should have documented US atrocities, like [[Abu Ghraib]], and the zh: Wikipedia should have documented Chinese atrocities. Advocating removing either of them is unacceptable.
