几天来在各大中文网站的热贴“沃顿MBA反暴力反歧视支持奥运纪实”是一篇歪曲事实
,别有用心的报导。下面摘自笔者和其中一位组织者之一的一位华人MBA学生的通信。
“……The debate in Wharton about China and its interactions with Tibet has

it off shortly after posting suggests to me that he reconsidered its message
or the use of Wharton to spread his interpretation of the presentation.
