Does this look like a “Torch of Harmony?”

This is a photo of the Chinese government’s Olympic torch in London, surrounded by a group of identically-dressed Chinese guards (the only torch relay I know of ever that had to be guarded by stormtroopers). In the distance, you see police blocking pro-Tibet protesters.

The Chinese government calls its torch a “Torch of Harmony.” Does this look like a torch of harmony to you?

Like with the Chinese government’s occupation of Tibet, the only “harmony” we see is one enforced by stifling dissent.
