The Swindle of Dalai Lama - XU Ming-xu
[color=Blue]Mr. Xu's article should be an excerpt from his lengthy book revealing the hypocrisy of Dalai and the Tibetan Theocracy.But b[/color][color=Blue]efore posting the translation of Mr. Xu's article, I would like to share this piece with you.[/color]
[color=Blue]Something I found in the course of verifying Mr. Xu's reference to a UPI, Reuters press release in 1993!!![/color]
[font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red]Notes[/color]: [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt]Attached are archive records of both press releases which we translated into Chinese as well. Given its nature being a press release, information should have been provided by the Government-in-exile. We found therewas a [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red][b]serious distortion of historical FACT[/b][/color] by their claim that the [color=Red]1st Panchen Lama was disciple of the 1st Dalai Lama[/color][/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt], which [color=Red][b]simply is not true[/b][/color].
The first two Dalai Lamas, as well as first three Panchen Lamas were [color=Red]all recognised after their death[/color], though the granting of the title "Dalai" (1578) by Chinese Ming Dynasty was earlier than that of Panchen (1645) as granted by the Qing Dynasty.[color=Red]
Not only both titles were granted by Chinese Emperors[/color], it was the [color=Red]3rd Dalai Lama who actively sought for such title[/color] recognition from the Ming Emperor, and his action [color=Red]literally admitted that he was Ming's subject and ruled by the Ming Dynasty, and thus, was part of China.[/color]
The first Panchen (1385-1438) was 6 years older than the 1st Dalai (1391-1474) and was the 2nd disciple (from 1407) of Tsongkhapa(1357-1419), a legacy of Tibetan Lamaism. The 1st Dalai Lama,however,became Tsongkhapa's disciple in 1416, 9 years later than the 1st Panchen Lama.
How could a more senior disciple of the same teacher become the disciple of his junior fellow student?[/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt]
The Government-in-exile [color=Red]even distorts their religious history to make a false representation and illusion [/color][color=Red]that Dalai Lama is Panchen Lama's boss[/color], and the reincarnation of Panchen Lama needs Dalai's recognition to become legitimate.[color=Red][b]Well,it's not the case[/b][/color]. They cross recognise each other, similar to diplomatic relations.)[/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt]

"…[color=Red][b]He played an important rolein the education of the First Dalai Lama, who was the youngest of Tsongkhapa's five chief disciples[/b][/color]."
[color=Navy]Just a trivia for you guys:
[/color]You probably know the Dalai Lama has 9 siblings including himself.
Do you know that out of the nine, [b]how many of them are "Living Buddha"[/b]??
[size=3][color=red]The number is [b]5[/b], 3 elder brothers, himself and a little brother.
The more ridiculous thing was, his little brother secularized later on in India,
and was said to be somebody with brutality and violent behavior. How about that?[/color][/size]

[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]Ever since his exile to India in 1959, Dalai Lama has been demanding the Independence of "Greater Tibet". When US joined with China in order to counter USSR in 1972, Dalai had no choice but to change his strategy, taking a pear as an apple, naming independence-in-disguise as autonomy. His "Five Point Peace Plan" of1987 was commented as a "insidious Independence plan" by officials of the US State Department. The "Strasbourg Proposal" in 1988 was no better, but Dalai Lama claimed he made significant compromise and renounced his independence claim. The Tibetan Government- in-exile told China's Ambassador to India,"the Strasbourg Proposal matched the spirit that Deng Xiao-Ping told Gyalo Thondup on March 12, 1979 that 'except for the independence of Tibet, all other questions can be negotiated'.(27) The Chinese Government responded neither"Five Point Peace Plan"nor "Strasbourg Proposal"represented a fundamental abandonment of Tibetan Independence, and therefore there was no foundation for negotiations. (28) Then Dalai Lama alleged that Chinese Government set precondition for negotiation, and they demanded unconditional negotiations. (29) In fact, when they expressed to China's Ambassador to India that "Strasbourg Proposal" met Deng's term, they admitted their acceptance of Deng's term as a precondition for negotiation.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]The disintegration of USSR gave high hope for Dalai Lama, with their pitch getting higher and higher. On March 10, 1991, he mentioned in his Uprising Day address that, "Should Chinese Government not responding positively to his proposal in the near future, he considered himself no longer restrained by the Strasbourg Proposal".(30) [/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]March 22, Dalai Lama brought about "Asian Democratic Community", with Tibet,Inner Mogolia and Xinjiang as individual members with equal status as China.(31)[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]April 16, President Bush met Dalai Lama, his posture became firmer.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]August 19, Dalai Lama rescinded "Strasbourg Proposal", strongly demanded complete independence of Tibet.(32)[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]December1, Ukraine held a referendum, with 90% voted for independence. DalaiLama was in UK.The day after he was received by the Prime Minister J.Major, he foretold the press: "Complete independence of Tibet shall berealised in 5 to 10years." (33)[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]March 10, 1992, he addressed on Uprising Day that, "[/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=11pt]Ihave no doubt that one day our people, as well as the people of Inner Mongolia and East Turkestan (Xinjiang as now known) will be re-united in complete freedom in our respective countries." (34) Evidently he believed Communist China would fall like the Soviet, and China would disintegrate like the Soviet. Nevertheless, Chinese Government continued to discuss with his envoy for negotiations.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]On August 11 and October 3, 1993, Dalai Lama made a press release that startled the West. Followings are details of the press releases, (Notes: [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt]this is a translation from the Chinese text.)[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]UPI and Reuters, August 11, 1993, New Delhi, India --- The Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, said Wednesday ([/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt]Notes:archive records of UPI press release written as Wednesday, not Thursday as put by Mr. Xu. It seems this "quote" is a combination of the UPI and Reuters news and therefore is not a 100% quote from each[/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt]) he would will be willing to accept limited autonomy rather than complete independence for his Himalayan homeland.
Explaining that he believed the solution lies with autonomy in Tibet,with the Chinese looking after the defence and foreign affairs of my homeland."
The Dalai Lama said, "We want a middle path --- 'One Country Two Systems." ([color=Red]Note[/color]: One Country Two Systems was not in UPI's clip) The Dalai Lama said, "Autonomy is good enough for me [/size][/font][size=11pt]–[/size][font=Arial][size=11pt] let the Tibetan people decide on the Independence issue."
[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]Beijing [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt]refuses to hold talks with the Dalai Lama until he renounces his demand for Tibetan independence. Dalai Lama said China's Ambassador to India would see him. "This is a progress," he said,"I'm very optimistic. We anticipate my envoy and this Ambassador will have serious discussion."But he said, "I will meet him only when there is real results." Dalai Lama said China asked him to help find the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama, the second most important spiritual leaders in Tibet, who died in 1989. "This can be an important turning point for what we are doing.Previously the Chinese always said locating the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama was their internal affairs,which we don't have to bother."
[/size][/font][/color][color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]11Tibetan delegations in 14 years visited China. The Dalai Lama said, the meeting last month in Beijing between Chinese officials and [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt] Gyalo Thondup, his elder brother, was good. He urged India's Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao to raise the Tibetan issue in his visit to China next month.
Considering Tibet as an autonomous region of China, New Delhi prohibited those hundred thousands of Tibetan in-exile in India for any anti-China activities. In 1991, India arrested hundreds of Tibetans for protesting China's Premier Li Peng in his visit to New Delhi.[/size][/font][/color]
[[i] Last edited by ltbriar at 21-6-2008 06:30 [/i]] [color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]UPI October 3, 1993, Calcutta ---- [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt]The Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, said Sunday the recent accord between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization could be seen as an example for resolving the problem of Tibetan autonomy.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]"The past is the past -- I am looking forward" he said, "Even the Israelis and Palestinians have shed decades of hatred and violence and made peace in a spirit of reconciliation, I am quite sure that if both the Tibetans and the Chinese adopt a reasonable attitude, we shall find a harmonious solution to the problem."[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]Describing his proposal as "the middle path", the Tibetan god-king reiterated he was willing to accept limited autonomy for Tibet within China rather than demand complete independence for his homeland.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]These 2 conversations from Dalai seem a large concession as compared with [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt]"Five Point Peace Plan" and the "Strasbourg Proposal", which both required withdrawal of Chinese troops from Tibet. The 2 conversations however allowed China[/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt] looking after the defence and foreign affairs of[/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt]Tibet. He even quoted "One Country Two Systems" policy that Chinese Government promised Hong Kong and Taiwan.It seems as though acknowledging Tibet as part of China,especially when he was explicit in renouncing his independence claim in exchange for autonomy. This was completely different from his rescinding of "Strasbourg Proposal",insisting on complete independence, almost as if we were dealing with two different persons.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]Why would he (at least verbally) make such turnaround? After Deng Xiaoping's visit to the South in1992, Chinese economy has been growing at tremendous speed. Western observers who predicted the collapsing of CCP and China gradually changed their tones in saying that China would catch up with US and become the World's new super-power in the 1sthalfof the 21st century. In order to realize gains in the high growth of Chinese market, Western countries race to court with China. The Dalai Lama could only follow to change his tone. He probably did not give prior heads up notice to his staff. Attending a conference on Tibet:Religion, Conflict, and Cooperation held by the U.S.Institute of Peace on September 27-28, 1993 in Washington D.C., when I quoted and disseminated the Dalai Lama's conversation on August 11, 1993, Lodi Gyari, Dalai's chief representative to US and U.N. claimed the message was made up by the media, and that Dalai could not possibly say that(meaning renouncing independence). American professors attending the conference (all of them were renown experts on Tibetan issues or Chinese issues), though not denying the validity of such conversation,carried on discussing Tibetan independence anyhow, disregarding the Dalai Lama's new intent. It seemed as though the resolution to the Tibetan issue (independence vs autonomy) would be decided by them and not by the Dalai Lama or the Chinese Government.
[/size][/font][/color][size=11pt][color=Blue]Chinese Government's policy for the Dalai Lama is way far off what the Dalai Lama demands. On July 28,1981 when Hu Yaobang met Gyalo Thondup, he announced the "Five Guidelines" for the Dalai Lama:
1. Our country has sustained long term stability and economic prosperity, all the ethnic groups should unite and cooperate to enhance this new era. The Dalai Lama and his followers are intelligent and should believe it. Otherwise, they can observe a few years more.
2. The Dalai Lama and his envoy in touch with us should be sincere and not playing hide and seek or as if we are doing business negotiations. We should muddle ourselves in past history, i.e. what happened in 1959. Let's forget about it.
3. We are sincere to welcome the Dalai Lama and his followers to return and settle, with the objective that he will support the unity of our country, enhance the unity of Tibetans with Hans nation and other ethnic groups, and contribute to the Four Modernization.
4. Should the Dalai Lama return and settle, his political status and living conditions will be the same as prior to 1959. The Party's Central Committee can nominate him as Vice Chairperson to the National People's Congress. He'd better not return to Tibet, nor take up any position in Tibet. Of course he can make frequent visit to Tibet.
5. It's up to the Dalai Lama as to whenhe returns. He can make a brief press release, the content of which is up to him to decide. (35)[/color]
[color=Blue]Hu's message was for external (audiences). On October 2, 1984, T.A.R. Party Committee published the policy guidelines of the Central Government towards the Dalai Lama for internal reference. The main contents were:
1. As Dalai flee the country, he launched "Tibetan Independence" abroad, and spread a lot of misrepresentation. He undermined interest of his country and the Tibetans. He also ruined his name.
2. We will continue to work with him, and try to make him turn around for the better. Those of his followers willing to return to their homeland, we would welcome the mall. For those who settled for good, we would facilitate them properly. For those who again wanted to leave, we would see them off with courtesy. We would welcome for their early return, and wait if they delayed it. We would try our best to convince them if they decided not to come back, but would object to any separatism.
3. Central Government's Five Guidelines for the Dalai Lama remained unchanged.
4.Tibet is an inseparable part of the People's Republic of China.Independence in whole or in part shall not be permissible. The "9 guiding principles" for Taiwan (poster's note: i.e. "One Country, Two System") is not applicable to Tibet. Tibet and Taiwan are both inseparable part of China, but there is a big distinction. Tibet, being an autonomous region under the governance of the Central Government,was liberated for over 30 years, with democratic and socialistic reform in practice, and the old system (theocracy) abandoned. U.S. tries to induce "One China One Taiwan", still there are some who tries for "One China, One Taiwan One Tibet". These are absolutely not permissible,neither is "Greater Tibet Autonomy Region" realistic or possible.
5.The Dalai Group, with their hidden intention, repeatedly suggested to send young intellects abroad back to Tibet to teach (poster's notes:teaching Tibetan language). Our answer is: they are welcome to comeback to work, but they must admit they are Chinese, agree to be assigned, and be prepared to stay for long term. (poster's notes: The Dalai Group dropped this idea once they learned the requirement for Tibetan teachers to admit themselves being Chinese.)
6. Negotiation does not exist between the Central Government and the Dalai Lama. (36)[/color][/size]
[[i] Last edited by ltbriar at 21-6-2008 06:33 [/i]] [size=11pt][color=Blue]Perhaps realising prohibiting the Dalai Lama's residence in Tibet being too strong in Hu Yaobang's "Five Guidelines", Zhao Ziyang amended and expressed on a press conference during the National People's Congress on April 4, 1988 that, "There is no change to the Central Government's Five Guidelines with respect to the policy toward the Dalai Lama made explicit previously. What is the prerequisite for the Dalai Lama to return to China, to return to Tibet?There is only one which is he must denounce any engagement in Tibet Independence, admit Tibet is part of China, and fend for and strengthen China's unity together with all brothers from ethnic groups throughout China, and work together for a socialist China and socialist Tibet.This is the only condition. With this condition, his political status after returning to China: as a National People's Congress Vice Chairperson been stipulated by the Central Government. As for his residence, according to our Constitution, any citizen shall have the freedom to live where he/she wants. He can reside in Beijing or Tibet as he wishes, but the foregoing condition must be fulfilled. If he now accepts the terms in hope of coming back to continue separatist movement, we cannot agree to that. Therefore, if he insists in independence, insists on separatism, then the foregoing shall hold no more. When there isn't a foundation for discussion, then there is nothing worth discussing." (37)[/color]
[color=Blue]CCP used to proclaim: "Only Socialism can save Tibet." Should the Dalai Lama be allowed to return to Tibet and practise "One Country, Two Systems", wouldn't it imply Socialism isuse less for Tibet, and then further jeopardizing the claim "Only Socialism can save China"? (Hong Kong has been under Capitalism,allowing it another 50 years of Capitalism is not a problem for CCP).When CCP refused to let him returning to Tibet with "One Country, Two Systems" but just a mere position as Vice Chairperson to the National People's Congress, backed by foreign powers, how can the Dalai Lama possibly accept the offer? It was unrealistic and naive for CCP 's attempt to "lure" him. The result was practically giving in to the Dalai Lama, making him more arrogant and proud. It also give local Tibetans an impression that "CCP was afraid of the Dalai Lama", causing them to worship him more. The Dalai Lama actually has nothing in his pocket, he has everything to gain, but nothing to lose. CCP has Tibet under its governance, if negotiating with the Dalai Lama, it has nothing to gain, but only something to lose. Such simple reasoning, but CCP did not realize.[/color]
[color=Blue]It was strange that when the Dalai Lama spoke on August 11, 1993 pulling back from "Five Point Peace Plan" and"Strasbourg Proposals", when China's Ambassador to India was prepared to meet him, and when the Dalai Lama expressed he was "very optimistic", he suddenly suspended contact with the Chinese Government unilaterally, and shut the door for negotiation. (38). Nobody knows why till know. I think perhaps the Tibetan Government-in-exile after hearing the Dalai Lama's foregoing conversation, feared that he would actually recognize China's sovereignty over Tibet and reach agreement with CCP, and they just abruptly halt the liaison with the Chinese Government. The Tibetan Government-in-exile had been controlled by"young Tibetans", who either born in India or left Tibet at the age of10 or younger, that have no personal experience with Tibet natural environment or community. They have no idea that Tibet cannot be independent politically or economically, but they have been fed by the Dalai Lama's misrepresentation such as "Tibet has always been an independent country", "China killed 1.2 million Tibetans". Having been stuffed with freedom, democracy, self-determination, independence and hatred towards China in their mind, they definitely would not allow the Dalai Lama to come into agreement with the Chinese Government. The Dalai Lama was collecting his bitter harvest from the seeds of hatred he sowed, and became hostage of the Tibetans in-exile that he brood. It was also possible that Western Human Rights advocates worried the DalaiLama reached agreement with the Chinese Government, and instruct the"Tibetan Government-in-exile" to cut the liaison with the Chinese Government to prevent the Dalai Lama from negotiation. Thus, the Dalai Lama also became the hostage of the foreign masters whom he had turned.Therefore, it was not the Chinese Government obstructing negotiations,but the Dalai Lama's own followers or forces at their back.
[/color][color=Blue]It is more peculiar that despite Dalai camp unilaterally closed the door for discussion, the Dalai Lama continuously and persistently called upon the Chinese Government for dialogue, and repeated over and over again that all he wanted was autonomy, not independence, that he was willing to accept the "Middle Path" and "One Country, Two Systems". For example, June 6, 1994, he told Chen Wangwei, a reporter from Central Daily News that he was willing to accept "One Country, Two Systems" with China responsible for defence and foreign affairs of Tibet. (39) In his visit to Taiwan in March 1997, he also said he did not want independent. (40) After Hong Kong's return to China on July 1, 1997, he remarked again, he saw from "One Country, Two Systems" the solution to Tibet issue. (41) At the same time, he continued lecturing around the World, trying his best to publicize that Tibet has always been an independent country, criticizing China migration to Tibet, genocide of Tibet culture, killing 1.2 million Tibetans etc. He even called to hold a referendum by Tibetans in determining Tibet's future. (42) --- of course, the Tibet he referred to means the "Greater Tibet". By putting aside the fact the over half of the total population in the "Greater Tibet" consisted of 17 non-Tibetan ethnic groups, and only allowing Tibetans to vote for the future of Tibet, this is such a calculating and vicious mind. If the future of Northern Ireland could be decided by the Catholic there alone, Northern Ireland had been independent or joined Ireland already. If the future of Quebec lies on the vote of the French descents alone, Quebec would have been independent as well. However,this is permitted neither by international law nor international public opinion. The Dalai Lama wanted to deprive the voting right of those people of 17 non-Tibetan ethnic groups, over half of the total population, that have inhibited in the "Greater Tibet" region since ancient time – what a autocratic dictatorship and violation of human rights unheard of.[/color][/size]
[[i] Last edited by ltbriar at 21-6-2008 06:29 [/i]] Part 3 [font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red]The Dalai Lama every now and then emitted voices for independence.[/color] [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Blue]He told Taiwan's reporter he was touched by support for Tibetan Independence from certain Taiwanese, but he could not say it openly. He told Yu Jan-daw, DPP M.P. (Taiwan), "There will always be hope for Tibetan Independence." (44) and the same time, publications and speeches of the "officers" from the Tibetan Government-in-exile continued their propaganda for Tibetan Independence, [/color][/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red]asif the Dalai Lama had never mentioned giving up independence, or as if the Tibetan Government-in-exile was no longer under his leadership.[/color][/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]For instance, over the "Han-Tibetan Dialogue" held in Bonn, June 21-22,1996 and in London October 11-12, 1997, despite my presentation and my article distributed that quoted and made reference to the English version of the foregoing 2 messages the Dalai Lama made in 1993, Sonam Dabo, officer of "the Tibetan Government-in-exile in-charge of international relations and propaganda" kept mentioning "Five Point Peace Plan" and the "Strasbourg Proposal" (as mentioned previously, these 2 proposals required Chinese disarming from Tibet, and therefore is a plan of independence, which US States Department so recognized), without a word mentioned on the Dalai Lama's later statement of accepting autonomy only, giving up Independence and allowing Chinese Government to deal with Defence and Foreign Affairs (as evidenced by his presentation and article distributed in the meeting). On a later session, Tsegyam, director of ministry of security research institute of the Tibetan Government-in-exile said, "As 'One Country Two Systems' encompasses the concept of Tibet being part of China in principle[/size][/font][size=11pt]…[/size][font=Arial][size=11pt]this kind of autonomy is hardly acceptable for Tibet. According to the history described earlier, Tibet and China were two different countries, the law for future Tibetan autonomy must also be drafted by Tibetans. Therefore it is impossible for the resolution of Tibetan issue by applying "One Country Two Systems" directly, but it can serve as a reference and precedent such that through negotiation, we can find a compromised way to resolve the dispute between China and Tibet." (45) He clearly did not accept the "One Country Two Systems" that the Dalai Lama pleaded from the Chinese Government. [/size][/font][/color] [font=Arial][size=11pt] [color=Red]The other officers from the exile government all liberally expressed freedom, self-determination, independence, ignoring the Dalai Lama's statement of giving up independence. [/color][/size][/font]
[font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]The "Young Tibetans" within the Tibetan-in-exile show steady disrespect of the Dalai Lama. Pun tsok wang gyel who had been the Dalai Lama's representative to the U.K.said, "they believe the Dalai Lama knows everything, the past, the present, the future. He is god, so he won't make mistake. But I don't believe this. Of course I'm a Buddhist, but for me, he is just an ordinary person. Therefore, he has his merits and demerits. I often tell my folks, the Dalai Lama is aging.[/size][/color][/font] [font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red]We have to ask this question : if he is a reincarnated Buddha or not?[/color] [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Blue]However, his physical condition is not so well, nobody thinks about this issue[/color]. [/size][/font][font=Arial][color=Red][size=11pt]At the same time, if he makes mistakes, we have to ask this question. When he makes mistakes, we are obligated to remind him[/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red][color=Red].[/color][/color][color=Red]"[/color] [color=Blue](46) By mistake of the Dalai Lama, he meant giving up independence verbally.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font]
[font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]Goldstein once criticized the leader of Tibetans in exile over estimated their capability, very na[/size][/color][/font][size=11pt]ï[/size][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]ve.(47) However from the perspective of beneficial interest, the continuous whooping for independence has its practical purpose. The louder they make, the more money they receive from Western human rights camp, and hence better living they will enjoy. Should they stop their whoop, no money from foreign patrons, and they will cease to exit.[/size][/color][/font]
[font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font]
[font=Arial][color=Red][size=11pt]Of course the double-dealing of the Dalai Lama could not lure Chinese Government's trusting him really giving up independence. [/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]Therefore Chinese Government has always been putting the Dalai Lama's open admission that Tibet is an indivisible partof China, ceasing of separatism activities as preamble for holding any discussion with him,and the Dalai Lama firmly refused to make such promise. On December27,1992 the Dalai Lama told AFP reporters in Paris, "If they ([color=Black]poster's notes: meaning Chinese Government[/color])are willing to see my delegates, then let's start negotiating. But if they still insist I must announce and declare Tibet is an indivisible part of China, I will not." On November 1, 1997 when Jiang Zemin gave a speech at Harvard, somebody asked why he did not have dialogue with the Dalai Lama, he said, "I think our policy toward Dalai has been very clear. He has to openly admit Tibet is an indivisible part of the People's Republic of China, openly denouncing Tibetan independence, and ceasing every and all separatist activities. However very regrettably I feel the Dalai Lama hasn't done so and he has never stopped in any separatist activities of his Motherland." (48) Two days later, Tsewang C. Tethong (the Foreign Minister of the Tibetan Government in Exile) made a statement that, "Chairman Jiang Zemin demanded the Dalai Lama in admitting Tibet as an indivisible part of China, which is the same as demanding the Dalai Lama to rewrite the Tibetan history and accept the saying that historically Tibet has been a part of China. The Dalai Lama will never do that. He always says that this is lying and as a Buddhist, he cannot lie." (49)[/size][/color][/font]

[font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]The United Nations and all countries in the World recognize Tibet as a part of China, this is a legal issue that nobody can deny. The Charter of the United Nations stipulates "All Members shall refrain [/size][/color][/font][size=11pt]…[/size][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt] from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state[/size][/color][/font][size=11pt]…[/size][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Blue]"The demand of the Dalai Lama to admit Tibet as an indivisible part of China by the Chinese Government is in accordance with the international law and the Charter of the United Nations. On June 27, 1998, as soon as Jiang Zemin reinstated the foregoing requirement in a joint press conference with Clinton and further demanded the Dalai Lama admitting Taiwan as one of China's provinces, Clinton followed right a way, "I agree that Tibet is part of China, being one of Chinese autonomy regions. I can understand the reason why such admission is a pre-condition for opening up dialogue with the Dalai Lama." (50)[/color] [/size][/font][font=Arial][color=Red][size=11pt]June29, the Tibetan Government-in-exile recognized that the Dalai Lama was "not seeking for independence" on one hand, and insisted to demand on the other hand that their discussion with Chinese Government shall be unconditional. (51) They didn't even accept the precondition that Clinton agreed, illustrating that they basically were not serious about any dialogue, and spurned international law and President Clinton[/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red].

[[i] Last edited by ltbriar at 21-6-2008 06:45 [/i]] [font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]The facts that Dalai said he only wanted autonomy and not independence, and that they refused to admit Tibet being a part of China are self-conflicting. Text materials in American political science all state that the preamble for autonomy is recognizing the sovereignty of the Central government over the autonomy region; the "Dictionary of American Government and Politics" defines: autonomy (self-governance)is short of independence, autonomy is a certain level of right to administer internal affairs of certain region within a sovereignty state. (52) Since the Dalai Lama refused to admit China's sovereignty over Tibet, their alleged autonomy is merely independence in disguise,a well planned swindle and a trap hidden with deadly motives. Tenzin Choegyal, younger brother of the Dalai Lama revealed the Dalai Lama's strategy in one shot when interviewed by Pierre-Antoine Donnet ([color=Black]Notes: French reporter[/color]), "First we demand autonomy, then we drive the Chinese away! [/size][/color][/font][size=11pt]…[/size][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt] same way as the British were driven away from India! [/size][/color][/font][size=11pt]…[/size][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt] Autonomy shall be a starting point." (53)[/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt] [color=red]The ideal of the Dalai Lama is first to return for "autonomy" in "the Greater Tibet" without admitting Tibet being part of China, and then declare independence reacting 1959 event again, once they are established. He took both Jiang Zemin and Clinton as fools, and this is the basic reason why there can't be any dialogue between the Chinese Government and the Dalai Lama.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font]
[font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]Just like the Tibetans-in-exile have economic consideration in continuous whoops for independence, the Dalai Lama also has economic consideration in his verbal denouncement of independence. He has realized if Tibetbe comes independent completely, he has nothing to support the living of Tibetans now fed by the Chinese Government, not to mention accommodating the Tibetans-in-exile. Invited by Orville Schell, Dean of UC Berkley, School of Journalism in 1997, he mentioned in his visit to Taiwan in March 1997 he discussed with the leader of DPP, "I also told them my opinion on Taiwan Independence. Emotion-wise, everybody wants for independence, however it is not correct to handle this issue emotionally. We must remain sober in evaluating this issue from economic perspectives. First we hardly have what it takes for complete independence. Taiwan's economy relies heavily on China[/size][/color][/font][size=11pt]…[/size][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt] Tibet has the same situation as well.[/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt] [color=red]I think, even for the long term interest, economic interest of Tibet, we should handle the relationship with China on this basis. Tibet is a inland country with vast territory, scarce population, and difficult transportation, but with rich natural resource endowment as well. For more speedy physical establishment, if we cooperate with a more advanced stronger country, we shall have more benefit than complete independence. This is my bottom-line, my rationale for seeking true autonomy and not independence." [/color][color=blue]The Dalai Lama even took one step back from "Tibet has been an independent country from historical time." He said, "my stance is seeking real autonomy, not independence. Of course, I believe Tibet historically has been an independent nation. It takes historians and legal professions,not politicians, to answer if Tibet was a part of China or not. There are a lot of questions to be answered if we look at the past.Therefore, the best is to forget the past. Those are history, and we should look ahead, so that even 2 entirely unrelated nations can easily united to become one country.This is my basic stance." (54)
[/color][/size][/font][color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]On November 28, 1997, the Dalai Lama told a Chinese (Han) in Dharmasala,"Should I return to Tibet, I will turn Tibet into a peace zone, with no army except a few police for necessity. Therefore we need protected by a strong China,as well as their material support. Though we may obtainassistance from other countries, however, if Tibet is a part of China, China shall be liable to assist us in supplies. In return we provide China Buddhist culture so that it will be for mutual benefit. There are some millions of Buddhists in China, and there will be more needs for Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhism is the best Buddhism, of course it is not the only religion. We respect other religions. Tibetan Buddhism is not just good for Tibetans, but for 1.2 billions of Chinese brothers and sisters as well, especially for young Chinese in rebuilding their spiritual belief. When Chinese Buddhists and other Chinese realise this, they will be actively involved in protecting Buddhist culture from beingdestroyed. If Chinese respect Tibetan culture and its environment, treating Tibetans as brothers and sisters, why shall we be independent and separate? It is because I view Buddhist culture as more importantthan political status, therefore I seek for real autonomy of Tibet, not independence." (55)[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]In these two talks, [/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][color=Red][size=11pt]the Dalai Lama accused the Chinese Government for destruction of Tibetan culture, religion and environment as usual[/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red][color=Red].[/color][/color] [color=Blue]Much had been discussed previously on Tibetan culture and religion. The environmental issue has mainly been caused by boost of Tibetan population. Basically population boost is a common issue faced by allthe nations in the World for environmental problem, a topic discussed in every United Nations Conference on the Human Environment. The United Nations even set up the Global Environment Facility in encouraging and assisting developing countries to control population. Scientists from different countries cry for birth control. When interviewed by the New York Times, the Dalai Lama himself said, "Population is a cruel reality. In India, due to religious tradition, some people have difficulty to accept birth control[/color][/size][/font][size=11pt]…[/size][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]. I think, the situation should be intervened from the beginning [/size][/color][/font][size=11pt]–[/size] [font=Arial][color=Red][size=11pt]Birth control[/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red].[/color] [color=Blue]Ofcourse, on the whole, from a Buddhist perspective, abortion is an act of killing which is bad. However, it all depends on the circumstances. If the child will be born with a disease, or its birth will bring about serious problem for the parents, they can be exceptional cases." (56) He said in the 38th Uprising Anniversary Memorial that, "due to expansion of military base, various construction and population expansion etc.,the environment is at risk." (57)[/color][/size][/font]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[font=Arial][color=blue][size=11pt]As previously mentioned, [/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red]Tibet[/color][/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red], though extensive, with the majority being covered with snow-capped mountains and rugged rocks, temperate desert soil and periglacial temperate frozen soil, cultivatable and pasture lands are limited. Because of the altitude and cold, aridity, scarcity of oxygen and gusty wind, productivity remains low. In 1980 Sun Hong-lei, Vice President, [/color][color=Red]Chinese Academy [/color][color=Red]of Science discovered in his visit to [/color][color=Red]Tibet[/color][color=Red] that the pasture was already over-grazed. I often saw Tibetans sold grass roots they dig out as firewood. This is the consequence of the Chinese Government's inability to enforce birth control among Tibetan peasants and herdsmen as it was intimidated by Western criticism. The Dalai Lama admits: excess population will ruin the environment, and birth control is a must. He continues blaming the Chinese Government for destroying Tibetan environment while accusing on the other hand the Chinese Government's demand for Tibetan residents to have only 2 kids is an "violation of human rights" and "genocide". This demonstrates him being [/color][color=Red][b]hypocritical, insidious, sly and vicious[/b].[/color][/size][/font]

On one hand it criticized, "The Chinese Government prohibits Tibetan women give birth to more number of children than stipulated,but the quota is not as severe than that imposed on Han women. The implementation of this policy varies in a large extent depending on the location. For those exceeding the quota, measures that violate their legal right will be taken, e.g. fines, mandatory abortion and sterilization." It deliberately omitted[/size][/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=Red][size=11pt]the fact that [/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][color=Red][size=11pt]the Chinese Government exempts Tibetan peasants and herdsmen from birth control, [/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]and instead, extend Chinese Government's birth control policy for urban population to cover all the Tibetans. On the other hand, it accused,"the most acute environmental destruction made by the Chinese is the diminishing of pasture, turning massive habitat for herds and wildlife into deserts." (58)[/size][/color][/font] [font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red]By Chinese, it refers to Han people. Will Han people be herding or removing grass-roots in Tibetan pastures? Han people are not accustomed to Tibetan beef and mutton diet or the Tibetan butter churned tea. The deterioration of Tibetan pastures into deserts is purely a result of population explosion (of Tibetans).[/color] [/size][/font][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]The Dalai Lama and the Western human rights advocates, making extensive propaganda, [/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red]accused the Chinese Government's birth control on urban Tibetans as "genocide",deterring the Chinese Government from controlling the population of peasants and herdsmen; while in the meanwhile frame the Chinese Government for environmental catastrophe that was caused by explosion in Tibetan peasants and herdsmen population, what a weird catch 22?[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font]
[font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red]The Dalai Lama's claim "Tibetan's Buddhism is the best Buddhism" is purely boasting.[/color] [/size][/font][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]Let aside that he was never invited by Buddhist countries like Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Cambodia, and majority of Buddhists from Japan and Korea do not worship him, Han's Buddhists are not interested in him either. This is not surprising as the Dalai Lama does not know Chinese language nor did he study Chinese history (see previous article). Therefore he was not aware that Buddhism was introduced to Han territory way before Tibet. Chinese translation of Buddhist scriptures are the same if not better than Tibetan translation in volume and in quality and took place much earlier. History records show that in the year 2 BC, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Visha&action=edit&redlink=1]Visha[/url] (Notes: tribe in Central Asia, that might be related to Kushan Empire, see [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuezhi]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuezhi[/url]) Emperor's envoy Yichun to Chang'an (Notes: close to today's Xian, Shaanxi Province) and verbally dictated Futu Jing (Buddha[/size][/color][/font][size=11pt]’[/size][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]s S[/size][/color][/font][size=11pt]ū[/size][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]tra) to Jing Lu, a staff official of the Han Dynasty.In March 1988, Buddhist Association of China confirmed "Yichun's dictation" as the landmark for the introduction of Buddhism to China, and held a celebration in November 22 of the same year in Beijing for the 2000th anniversary of Chinese Buddhism. (59). Approximately 500 years after "Yichun's dictation", in the 5th century, it was said there was a treasure chest fallen on Tibet, containing Buddha statues,scriptures, pagoda etc.However, Tibet did not have its own language then and nobody knew Buddhist scriptures written in Sanskrit. (6th) It was until the 7thcentury when [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepal]Nepalese[/url] princess [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhrikuti]Bhrikuti[/url]Devi and Tang Dynasty princess Wencheng each brought Buddha statue,Buddhist scriptures and talismans in their dowries when they married Songts[/size][/color][/font][size=11pt]ä[/size][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]n Gampo, then Buddhism started to spread in Tibet. The Tibetan Government-in-exile also recognized this in their "Tibet:[/size][/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]proving Truth from Facts", "The wedding to the Nepalese and Chinese princesses were of particular importance, because they played important roles in the spread of Buddhism in Tibet."(btw, what Princess [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhrikuti]Bhrikuti[/url] Devi brought was [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esoteric]esoteric[/url]([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajrayana]Vajrayana[/url]) Buddhism,and the one that Princess Wencheng brought was exoteric ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahayana]Mahayana[/url]) Buddhism.) In 645 BC, Xuanzang, the monk, brought back scriptures from India and conducted a translation project in Chang'an. 75 scriptures totalling 1,335 chapters were translated, which began large scale Buddhist scripture translation in mainland China. (61) Large scale scripture translation took place in Tibet in 775 BC when Songts[/size][/color][/font][size=11pt]ä[/size][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]n Gampo built the Samye Monastery ([i]bsam yas gtsug lag khang[/i]in Tibetan), more than 100 years after Xuanzang. (62) Chinese Buddhism is just as good as Tibetan Buddhism. Should Han believe Buddhism is of use in rebuilding their spiritual, they can consult Chinese Buddhist scholars instead. What do they need approaching the Dalai Lama for? [/size][/color][/font]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]If Hans were as what the Dalai Lama hopes for devoting all efforts in chanting and worshiping Buddha, aiming at a better next-life, they would not have been able to develop technology and work wholeheartedly, producing massive products and wealth to raise Tibetans who cannot support themselves economically, and let Tibetans enjoy modern materialistic civilization without even a sweat, yet happily chanting, bowing Buddha for a better next-life.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Blue]The Dalai Lama told overseas Chinese students in [/color][color=Blue]America[/color][color=Blue],"In recent decades, there is a tendency for materialism in the economicreform to the socialist market economy, whether socialist or capitalist, which to a large extent destroys the spiritual world andmoral values of [/color][color=Blue]China[/color][color=Blue].A desert of spiritual and moral values is rapidly spreading in Chinese society, under which circumstances, Tibetan Buddhism and Buddhist philosophy can bring millions of Chinese brothers and sisters in locating their spiritual destiny."(63) As we all know, the status ofmonks and nuns as public spiritual mentors severely dropped as the economy of [/color][color=Blue]Thailand[/color][color=Blue], the Buddhist state, took flight with widespread money-worship, hedonism and secularism. This indicates modernization will definitely lead tothe decline in Buddhism, a historical development which is not due to any conspiracy by the Communist Party, or avoidable by any Buddhist master or leader. Furthermore, the Han's culture is built upon pragmatic rationality, which by virtue reject irrational Tibetan Buddhism.This can be illustrated by the favorism played by [/color][color=Blue]emperors of Yuan and Qing Dynasties, while the general public were not convinced by Tibetan Buddhism. [/color][/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red]The Dalai Lama's promoting Tibetan Buddhism to Hans at the end of the 20[/color][color=Red]th[/color][color=Red] century, dreaming for nostalgia of "Mongolian Imperial Master", spiritual leader of 1.2 billion Hans, is just a vanity fantasy.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt]In April 1997 when the Dalai Lama met Chinese Democratic activists in Washington DC, he said, "There is no way Tibet can be independent politically or economically. Tibet can only rely one of its neighbours [/size][/font][size=11pt]–[/size][font=Arial][size=11pt]China or India. Comparatively, China is a better choice." (informed by an attendee to the meeting.) He did not explain, but Dawa Tsering did release a bit of information. He said, "Tibet is in an embarrass position, located between two large nations, China and India, pressed and squeezed from both sides. The geographic location of Tibet predetermines that a choice has to be made. I believe China is a better choice over India,as Chinese sense of religion is rather mild, and will get along easier with Tibetans. Indians are strongly tied with religion belief, and inter-religion disputes, if any, will be severe. We have sensed it in India, some Tibetans hardly have any Indian friends after spending thirty to forty years in India." (64)[/size][/font][/color]

[/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red]The Dalai Lama once said, "As Buddhism was passed from India to Tibet, with it came many other elements with cultural significance. Therefore I have no doubt that India has more claim on Tibet's sovereignty than China."(65) After Tibetan settled in India, they found this simply was not so.[/color] [/size][/font][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]Neither the Dalai Lama nor Dawa Tsering explained what do they mean by "rely on", probably nothing to do with religion [/size][/color][/font][size=11pt]– [/size][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Blue]the Dalai Lama believes Tibetan Buddhism is the best Buddhism, what else does he need to rely on? It should be political and economic support.[/color] [/size][/font][font=Arial][color=Red][size=11pt]China[/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][color=Red][size=11pt] is more able and more generous than India to expend on supporting Tibetans. The perfect deal for the Dalai Lama is:Chinese Government shall continuously raise Tibetans, yet they should also pass the administration of "Greater Tibet" back to him as well, plus Chinese Government should remove th 17 ethnic group, which accounts for over a half of the population of "Greater Tibet" out of the region(i.e.genocide), and finally, allowing him to preserve the right to declare independence any time. What a smart bargain.[/size][/color][/font]
[color=Red][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red]To deceive worldwide media, the Dalai Lama can go any distance in formulating stories,[/color] [/size][/font][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]we have covered quite a number, and there are a few more.[/size][/color][/font]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Blue]Dalai's autobiography said, "China installed a third of its nuclear weapon on Tibetan soil because Tibet is one of the world top uranium reserves. Apparently China wants to contaminate the majority of Tibet with radioactivity through its uranium exploration. In Amdo County,Northeast Tibet where I was born, there is a well known large Gulag ([color=Black]poster's notes: penal labor camp for Soviet political prisoners[/color]) with an estimated capacity to hold 10 million people. (66) In his 1987 address to the US Congress for "Five Point Peace Plan", he also talked about China's nuclear weapon facility and nuclear waste disposal in Tibet. [/color][/size][/font][font=Arial][color=Red][size=11pt]His allegations were dismissed[/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt] [color=Blue][color=Blue]by the [/color][/color][/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Blue]conference on Tibet: Religion, Conflict, and Cooperation held by the U.S.Institute of Peace in September, 1993. The report, which accused Chinese Government for violations of Tibetan human rights and sympathized Tibetan Independence, had to admit, "there had been rumour on disposal of nuclear waste in Tibet, purportedly coming from uranium mines in eastern Tibetan Plateau and nuclear facilities in central Tibet.However, these allegations had never been confirmed by any judge or international communities." (67)[/color] [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red]The total population of [/color][color=Red]Qinghai Province[/color][color=Red] is barely 4million but was alleged to have a prison camp with a 10 million capacity [/color][color=Blue]something even labour camp expert Harry Wu was not aware of. Who will believe such a myth? [/color][/size][/font][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt](According to the "1997-1998 Laogai Guidebook" published by the US Laogai Research Foundation run by Harry Wu, Wayuxiangka Farm, the largest penal labour farm in Gonghe County, Qinghai,holds only 11,134 persons.)[/size][/color][/font]
[color=Blue][font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font][/color]
[font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]Other examples are:"some Tibetan children are forced to become slave labour"(68); "China proclaimed to eliminate Tibetan language in '15 year's time'", "a lot of Tibetan schools are just children's labour camps. Only about 1500 children actually receive proper education." (69); "Chinese top leaders want to have a Tibetan genocide" (70); "Chinese promotes what they call "segregation and cultural assimilation" which isa racial discriminating policy". (71) [/size][/color][/font][font=Arial][color=Blue][size=11pt]The first few are clearly false accusations, the last one is self-conflicting [/size][/color][/font][size=11pt]–[/size][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red] if Hans want cultural assimilation with Tibetans, why do they segregate Tibetans from Hans?[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font]
[font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Blue]The Dalai Lama also learns to play catch 22 game, accusing Chinese Government for leaving Tibetans in miserable, pitiful poverty, e.g. lack of medical care, education and electricity etc.; while on another instance, he blamed, "In May 1984,Chinese's Tibetan policy has changed remarkably. Hu Yaopong's proposal of cutting 85% of Chinese officials in Tibet was rejected, instead migrants were being encouraged. Under the banner of "development", 60,000 skill and unskill workers relocated to Tibet with terms of employment of wages, housing and vacation leaves offered by the Government." (73) Under Dalai's reign, there was hardly any modern clinic or school in Tibet (I define modern school as not just teaching languages, but science subjects like maths, physics, chemistry and biology). With the exception of Dalai Lama himself and afew closely related lords, nobody had any electric lighting. Therefore the Dalai Lama does not have any ground to blame Tibet's lack of medical care, education and electricity under Chinese rules. The "skill and unskill workers" he mentioned were exactly the engineering technicians, economists, medical staff, technical researchers, educators and their assistants responsible for the 43 engineering projects. Their missions were to build and run hospitals, schools and power stations to raise the living standard of Tibetans, but were labelled by the Dalai Lama as migrants aiming at Tibetan genocide.[/color] [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Red]The Dalai Lama's villainy matches his arrogance.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Arial][size=11pt] [/size][/font]
[color=Blue][b][font=Arial][size=11pt]The Swindle of Dalai Lama --- 5[/size][/font][/b][/color]
[font=Arial][size=11pt][color=Blue]Themost ridiculous was on November 2, 1998, when he said on the "International Campaign for Tibet Conference", "Chinese Government has refused to recognized [/color][color=Blue]Tibet[/color][color=Blue]'s unique culture." (74) As mentioned foregoing, Hu Yaopong's speech on Tibet in 1980 lavishly praised Tibetan culture, demanding extensive promotion and development of Tibetan culture, putting it as significant as the economic development, and calling it "duo development". Hu emphasized on the 2[/color][color=Blue]nd [/color][color=Blue]Tibet Project Meeting in 1984 that the uniqueness in Tibetan culture lied in its religion, again demanding extensive promotion and development of Tibetan culture. In 1984, Jiang Zemin held the 3[/color][color=Blue]rd [/color][color=Blue]Tibet Project Meeting and said, "we must be cautious in spreading the outstanding culture of Tibetan tradition." (75) As previously mentioned, the Chinese Government allocated 0.3 billion yuan in restoring 1,787 monasteries, established a lot of Buddhist school, Tibetan researching institutes and publication on Tibetan studies. In 1987, "Regulation on the education, use and development of Tibetan language in TAR (draft)" was passed in the 5[/color][color=Blue]th[/color][color=Blue] meeting of the 4[/color][color=Blue]th [/color][color=Blue]People's Congressional Meeting of Tibetan Autonomy Region, which was implemented with due diligence. As of today, Tibetan radio and television broadcasts are bi-lingual (Chinese and Tibetan) in their operation, with specialized movie translation productions. Tibetan publications and books are seen everywhere in massive volume. The majority of elementary schools use Tibetan as the teaching language.Tibetan courses are offered in high schools and universities. The Chinese Government also established special office to collect, organize, study and publicize Tibetan cultural archives. Perhaps the Dalai Lama exhausted his list in blaming the Chinese Government, and can only resort to fabrications, which literally means he is at the end of his road.[/color][/size][/font]
