| TIBET: Communications Cut Off By Communist China. A Preview
of what the West would face should Beijing's dreams of World Hegemony came to fruition? Quote: | DHARMSALA, India - China has launched a "brutal crackdown" in Tibet since protests shook the Himalayan region last year, the Dalai Lama said Tuesday in a speech to mark the 50th anniversary of the failed uprising that sent him into exile | The Official Story:
Quote:
Early Monday, small bombs ripped the emergency lights and roofs off a police car and fire engine at a timber farm in a Tibetan area in Qinghai province, Xinhua said. No deaths were reported. A local official, surnamed Qi, confirmed the explosion.
It was unclear if the blasts were connected with tensions over the tight security, but they were made by "unsophisticated homemade explosives" and came hours after a clash between locals and police who were inspecting vehicles at the Makahe timber farm, Xinhua said
|
Communications to Outside Severed:
Quote: | "There won't be large-scale protests because the security situation in areas of Tibetan populations is very tight," said Dibyesh Anand, a Tibet expert at London's Westminster University. [I]"Let's say there is a protest in a small town somewhere. How would we know? ... Even if there is a clampdown we will not find out." [/i][Emphasis supplied]
|
Pretextual "bombing"?:
Given the clamp-down on all news reporting from Tibet and Tibetan-areas outside of Tibet proper, one can wonder why did the Comunist Government of China allow this bit of news to "escape"
Was this like the Reichstag[Parliament] being set on fire by the Nazis and then blaming the Communists and Jews?
There are several things the Nazis and the Communists have in common. One of these is "Racial"/Cultural Genocide.
The Dalai Lama:
Quote: |
Tibetan culture and identity are "nearing extinction," he said in this Indian hill town, where the Tibetan spiritual leader and the self-proclaimed government-in-exile have been based since shortly after fleeing their homeland. "The Tibetan people are regarded like criminals, deserving to be put to death.""These 50 years have brought untold suffering and destruction to the land and people of Tibet," he told about 2,000 people, including Buddhist monks, Tibetan schoolchildren and a handful of foreign supporters.............. . "Even today, Tibetans in Tibet live in constant fear and the Chinese authorities remain constantly suspicious of them," the Dalai Lama said.
|
What is to be done? The answer is precisely the one that Communist China will not allow:
Quote:
The Dalai Lama's envoy, Kelsan Gyaltsen, said .......
"At the moment, unfortunately, the Tibetan people inside Tibet are experiencing the harshest wave of repression since the days of the Cultural Revolution," he told reporters in Stockholm. "Tibet has become a giant prison, and at the moment nobody knows what is going on inside that prison."
Gyaltsen also appealed for help. "We would like to appeal to members of the international community to persuade the Chinese government to immediately open up Tibet, to allow international observers into Tibet." [Emphasis supplied]
|
Imagine if the West complains too loudly about some action by Beijing. Is this the Country you want to be borrowing even more from?

Remember GOOGLE having to modify its Search Engine to accomodate the Communist Government to do Business in Red China? Quote:
This year, China has largely sealed off Tibet to the outside world.
Recent visitors to Lhasa have described armed police posted on rooftops. Local governments in Tibetan areas have ordered foreign tourists out, and foreign journalists have been detained and told to leave. Internet and text-messaging services, which helped spread word of last year's protests, have been unplugged in parts of the region. [Emphasis supplied.]
...............................Snipped............ .........................................
This year, chains of police checkpoints confront travelers to ethnically Tibetan areas — a quarter of Chinese territory that stretches from Tibet to parts of Qinghai, Sichuan and Gansu provinces. Convoys of armored vehicles and sandbagged sentry posts have turned the remote mountainous region into something of an armed camp. Police patrols have increased outside Buddhist monasteries.

Anybody hear anything on American TV/newsmedia about Tibet lately?
In fact, anybody hear ANYthing about any Foreign Country on American media --unless it's the 3-I's: Isreal, Iraq, Iran?
What accounts for this I-solationism?
I have to go to foreign news services..BBC etc.
Are we not --media-wise --the most provincial country?

Creatures | Well I wish you would post it as I'm tired of being the only member complaining about this. I got more forign news sources bookmarked than American ones.
Plus, NYC is utterly provincial in reporting news from other Cities/States. Maybe tha's why I stopped buying newspapers. | |

I really feel sorry for the Tibetan people, as I do all peoples who are living under occupation.
It's getting a bit awkward, Mrs Clinton going to Beijing and telling them off for persecuting the Tibetans.
Then saying to the Chinese, by the way, seeing as I'm here, I've got a trillion dollars worth of treasury bonds I'm trying to sell at 0.5% interest?
I believe Tibet should be an independent country, and China's excuse that historically it was a part of China, sounds to much like the excuse they use for persecuting the Palestinians, another thing Beijing could remind the American delegation about. You know, people in glass houses.
What should we do, boycott Chinese made goods, good luck on that one.
It's almost 5am here, perhaps none of us are sleeping well.
