Students plan mass torch 'defence'

And it says no Chinese can tolerate being humiliated by "scum of the Chinese nation" and "running dogs".

"Whether you carry a Chinese passport or are an Australian citizen, I believe that each and every one of you, the sons and daughters of China, are as one with us in loyalty and love for the motherland!" it says.

The letter also promotes free bus rides from Sydney and Melbourne to Canberra.

This and other calls to protest are being promoted through Chinese-Australian websites such as www.aobo.com.au.

Zhang Zhuning, chairman of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association, said police were underestimating the "piles of monks" and "paid" thugs who would create trouble in Canberra. But he said he was not afraid of local Falun Gong groups because Chinese triad gangs had "quietened them down".

Other student groups played down the likelihood of trouble, at least from torch relay supporters.

Lydia Liu, of Sydney University's Chinese Students Association, said she believed students travelling to Canberra did not intend to protest. "I do know some Chinese students will go to Canberra to support the torch relay on their own initiative," she said.

"We as an organisation hope that the torch relay will peacefully pass through Australia on its way to Beijing."

Jimmy Xie, from Canberra University, said Chinese students would go to see the torch because they were proud their country was hosting the Olympics, but they would not be there to protect the torch. "The Chinese people want to be friendly to everyone," he said. "We don't want a fight. We want to wish good luck to China."

The friend-and-enemy language about Tibet and the Olympic torch is more extreme inside China. Individuals who have called for moderation or dialogue, such as an editor called Chang Ping at the Southern Metropolis Daily, have been subjected to vicious, personal denunciations on blog sites and in state-controlled newspapers.

Zhang Rongan said the Chinese embassy in Canberra "is organising buses, food and places to stay" for protesters.

A Chinese security official in Beijing has told The Age the embassy has been organising volunteers to help protect the torch. The embassy could not be contacted yesterday.

Meanwhile, Pakistan has changed the venue for its torch run and India has slashed the route for its leg of the relay amid fears of disruption.

The torch is due to arrive in Islamabad today on the first leg of its relay in Asia. "As such there's no threat but, obviously, because of the overall security environment, we didn't want to take a chance," Pakistan Olympic Association spokesman Baseer Haider said, explaining the change of venue.

In India, the torch's planned journey through a New Delhi neighbourhood tomorrow has been cut by two-thirds, according to local media reports.

In Japan, a public celebration linked to the torch relay in the city of Nagano has been cancelled due to security concerns.

虽然文章中仅仅提到了www.aobo.com.au 但是说明澳宝的地位、影响力以及软实力在经过这次火炬时间后（目前应该说是在这种火炬事件中）极大的提升了。这样对澳洲华人的凝聚力是一件好事。
