FREE TIBET! BOYCOTT BEIJING 2008 OLYMPIC GAMES

Democratic Party presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton's denunciations of China have been diluted by disclosures that her husband, Bill's charitable foundation received a donation from a Chinese internet company accused of aiding the crackdown in Tibet.

The Los Angeles Times has reported that Bill Clinton, the former president, had been involved with Alibaba Incorporated, which manages Yahoo China.

Last month, according to The Telegraph, the company posted a government-issued "most wanted" warning on the website's homepage, urging customers to provide information on Tibetan activists suspected of causing riots in the disputed Himalayan territory.

In 2005, Alibaba arranged for Bill Clinton to speak at a conference of Internet executives in Hangzhou, but instead of receiving a fee, which can range from 100,000 dollars to 400,000 dollars, he accepted an undisclosed donation to the William J Clinton Foundation.

A spokesman for the foundation confirmed that a donation had been received from Alibaba
