If you have not yet read the lives of the Tibetans in Dharamsala you should, it will give you a nice insight into their live. This post although will give you an insight into the protests that have been occurring around the world with the Beijing Olympics coming up. I’ll first disclose a little something I read on the New York Times, where people can send a letter to China, As a Tibetan, I take exception to “He May Be a God, but He’s No Politician,” by Patrick French. Mr. French suggests that if the Dalai Lama renounced parts of Tibet, progress could be achieved. Like the Chinese leadership, Mr. French does not appreciate that the Dalai Lama has already made the greatest compromise by agreeing to give up independence. Why should we now be expected to divide up our historical territory?Mr. French also implies that the Dalai Lama is harming Tibetans by seeking international support. Yet decades of “back-channel diplomacy” have not yielded results. The issue is not that the Dalai Lama is a poor politician, but that politicians are unwilling to effectively oppose China’s colonization of Tibet. Not only do these politicians conduct business as usual with China, but they have also rewarded China with the Olympic Games, much as the international community rewarded Hitler’s Nazi Germany with the 1936 Games.It is irresponsible for politicians to give China the Olympic spotlight without insisting on justice for Tibet. – Dechen Tsering, Berkeley, Calif., March 23, 2008 You can also read all the other open letters to the Chinese, interesting isn’t it, you can read the entire history of Hitler’s Olympics. In the last reply I spoke about how the Chinese also slapped Bush and asked him to take a look in the mirror as he is the cause of the biggest humanitarian crisis with the war on Iraq. Heres some good news, if you remember Avaaz wanted one million signatures to send to the Chinese, there was a record set as the signatures poured in and one million was achieved in seven days. Avaaz is now trying to get another million, probably to leverage the signatures with the population of China. This is Avaaz’s pledge to you, “After decades of repression, the Tibetan people are crying out to the world for change. The Olympic spotlight is now on China, and Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama is calling to end all riots and violence through restraint and dialogue.China’s hardliners are lashing out publicly at the Dalai Lama–but many Chinese leaders believe dialog is the best hope for stability in Tibet. The government is right now considering a crucial choice between repression and dialogue that could determine Tibet and China’s future.” Sign the petition people!
