With due respect to everyone, I want to say something. Don’t you think that this is a simple take of our childhood-”my enemy’s enemy is my friend”? I clearly do not have to state here who is the enemy and who is the friend.

Whatever it is, i really don’t mind the Americans supporting Tibet against the Chinese aggression. But, i hope that America doesn’t have any plans of landing in Tibet anytime soon. That, would be the perfect recipe for the third world war.

That is what I am hinting at. You never know what happens when US is in question. Lets hope Obama( as the wave is pointing, I anticipate him to be the new president) brings in some bright and appreciable change.

US always interferes in the matters of others. Though I feel a sort of sympathy for the Tibetans, some of them are my bosom friends even, yet i think US may have some very serious plans in mind for disintegrating China. Its really worrying for China if US is thinking this way.

Who knows, after USSR, its China.

“Unless western proponents of Tibetan liberation wish to be viewed as theocrats or 21st century feudalist sympathizers, they would do well to cease referring to Tenzin Gyatso as the Dalai Lama.”

Absolutely rubbish. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Apart from that, I disagree with your views completely or put it this way - I find it very difficult to agree with even a single argument in your article.

Blind love affair? Do you have any idea what the Tibetan cause is all about? If USA the champion of human rights and freedom doesn’t fight for the cause then who would?

You are talking of liberal democracy and other ridiculous things in Tibet. I cannot believe a person so ignorant about the history and the set up of the Tibetan system is so confident while writing something that look so profound about Tibet.

Yes I agree. After all Tibet is nothing more than a Chinese province just like Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and perhaps in the future Texas, California etc would be.

Tibetans have endured untold misery over the last 5 decades of Chinese oppresion and brutality. Now they have virtually replaced their culture with Hun Chinese culture by settling in millions of Hun Chinese from the mainland.

The Dalai Lama is fighting a just cause. The millions of dispersed Tibetans worldwide know better than you and me what is best for them. Why are you targeting the Dalai Lama in the fashion you are over the Tibetan issue?

i am doubtless that dalai lama is anti chinese american and indian agent. india and china have many border disputes because india has occupied chinese land in the south all across the border.

india support tibet and dalai lama to justify its claim on the chinese land it hold illegally. amrica supports dalai lama because america think china is a threat for a long time now.

dalai lama is supporting terrorists in tibet.

Under China Tibet has prospered beyond imagination. The Tibetan economy is booming with tourism and other business. I understand that China markets Tibet to the rest of the world as a uniquely cultured society where the highest seat of Buddhism is housed. This has made people from other parts of China to come in and settle down in Tibet doing brisk business. There is nothing wrong with that.

If Tibetans accept Chinese rule they can enjoy exactly the kind of prosperity and peace people from other parts of China are enjoying owing to the unprecedented boom in the Chinese economy in the last 25 years.

It is the duty of all major democratic countries of communities like India, European countries, United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Brazil to stand up in the support of Tibet by forming a coalition for ‘Democracy in Tibet’. All the country should send their representatives in Tibet to monitor China’s imperialistic and suppressive actions. No country can go alone against China so forming a group would be the best idea.

A suggestion to Tibetans, Don’t expect any kind of support from any country in this issue, No country has the courage to stand with you against mighty China. They had a great opportunity to stand up against China when the Tiananmen Square slaughter occurred in 1989, they did nothing. The Fact is that no country can ignore the power of two billion people of China. Search your future under Chinese flag only.

The whole world is taking interest in China’s internal affair and Tibetans are trying to blackmail China’s authority. I am in favour of eliminating Tibetan thugs who killed several innocent Han Chinese in country. Let the US start a war with we Han Chinese by taking side with Tibetan thugs, it would be a disaster for them.

Tibetan people cannot stand alone, they did not achieve anything in any field. They know how to become monk and nun. They cannot compete with Chinese even in Tibet. I know that the Chinese government has given quota in higher educations and in different other fields too. But they have developed a habit to live on others’ sympathies and charities. Did they have any idea what next if China goes back from Tibet?

@ Ying, The US is not interested in starting war against China or any other country. We all know this is your own problem but you Chinese should try to solve it without using violent means. BUT you don’t know the language of peace. You believe in killing the dissent voices and this is what you are doing in Tibet. Stop doing it now.

Tibet was an independent country but China invaded the country in 1959. The Republic of China had installed 14th Dalai Lama in 1940. Dalai Lama’s previous incarnations were installed by the Qing Dynasty. Tibet is a part of China now and the Tibetans should respect the integrity of China.

@ Maqsood, I think you have no idea about the history of Tibet and Dalai Lama. You can do some home work before posting such comments. leave aside all the Chinese propaganda on this, the concept of Dalai Lama is based on reincarnation in the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. Nechung oracle made the prophecy and several spiritual Tibetan Buddhist masters recognised it. No Chinese government has ever installed Dalai Lama because they have no authority to appoint Lama in Tibet.

The Tibetans are Tibetan, an independent community, this wrong to call them Chinese. Tibetans never told the Chinese to take the charge of Tibet. History says Tibet is an occupied country. China should leave them alone.

I agree with Zac, the whole world should come together to stand against China and should start boycotting china at almost every level and start the protest with China Olympiad. China has the long history of committing major atrocities in regions like Tibet, Myanmar, Sudan, Darfur, Ethioplenia and Arunachal Pradesh. China has the power to push the world into the time of 1000 BC because they doesn’t value lives.
