suggested last week that the devastating May 12 earthquake in China could have been the result of bad karma over the government's treatment of Tibet..."I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else," Stone said Thursday during a Cannes Film Festival red-carpet interview with Hong Kong's Cable Entertainment News.
