It looks like Jin Jing is now being made use of for propaganda purposes - "look at those evil pro-Tibeters, they attack disabled people!" (Not that I have a particular problem with that - any Western government would be delighted to use the same kind of propaganda...) So now Chinese people think that French people are anti-China? The propagandists of both sides, "pro-Tibet" and "pro-China" should feel happy with a job well done.

There's no comparison with "tank man". "Tank man" was risking death, or, at the very least, imprisonment. Jin Jing was risking a few scratches.
It wasn't an attack? That shows how hypocrite you guys are. If these were attack on westerners, you probably make a big issue about it. When it is chinese girl being harrased, you say its just a scuffle and some scratches? Do not use double standards onto other people while ignoring your own human rights problems as well. Whether it is a protibet or pro china it doesnt matter. The fire has started. It is up to you bunch of westerners to decide whether to dose the flame bigger and burn everyone in it or to cool matter down and let it dose off. We Chinese are not afraid of you westerners as your backside has even more shit to be clean up. let the shit slingging begins!
