Countries urged to see 'true face' of Dalai Lama

By Qin Jize (China Daily)

Updated: 2008-03-26 07:10

Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang yesterday again urged the international community to see the Dalai Lama's "true face" and offer no support for his secessionist activities.

Qin made the remarks in response to US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's recent call for China to consider a new policy to address the Tibet issue and to start talks with the Dalai Lama.

US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi also visited the Dalai Lama last week.

Qin said the position of just a few countries did not represent that of the international community.

More than 100 nations have expressed their support and understanding of the Chinese government's attitude to protecting the lives and property of its citizens from violent riots, he said.

Qin said the central government's policy toward the Dalai Lama is consistent and explicit, saying it not only listens to what he says but, more importantly, observes what he does.

China yesterday also criticized a British newspaper's report that linked the Beijing Olympics with the Berlin Games of 1936, saying the story is an insult to Chinese citizens and to the people of the world.

A report published in the British newspaper the Sunday Times said China is holding the Olympics for the same reason Adolf Hitler did in 1936, as an opportunity to collect accolades.

Qin said the Beijing Olympics is a magnificent sports meeting, and people from all nations have expressed their wishes to use it as an opportunity to enhance global understanding, friendship and cooperation.

"The Olympic torch symbolizes humankind's noble ideals and beautiful aspirations," Qin said.

" It also casts light on the gloomy mentality of some people, which will help the common people see their true face," he said.

"The Beijing Olympic Games must be a success with all the efforts made by the people of the

“How about you learn something before making yourself look foolish?”

If he were of the “learning” type, he wouldn’t spout such nonsense in the first place. He would have taken some time to read about Tibet and the ChiComs first.

If certain “FReepers” are enthusiastic about the ChiComs’ genocide in Tibet and elsewhere after learning the facts, the only thing that’s left to question is their moral compass (or more accurately, the existence of one).

Well, I’ve had an Asian roommate for about 3 years and my ex-boss was from a billionaire feudal Chinese family who fled to Taiwan with the gold. He sees the Chinese as cold heartless uncultured mafia type folks who rule as typical communist do. Having had friends from Mainland China, I tend to agree. Moreover, as he stated, the reason China lost the war was China’s indifference to Japanese atrocities (the Chinese elite viewed them as just numbers in an on-going war) but as many Vietnamese later discovered, being under communist is far worst than being ruled by the elite. In short, I’m pro Taiwan and definitely against all forms of communism based of seeing it’s destruction first hand.

Having had the “pleasure” of growing-up black in inner city New Orleans and continuing with that identity until my late 20s, I think the civil rights movement and shift to the empowerment of black Reverends (including MLK) did what slavery and Jim Crow couldn’t do, it destroyed black America (black America should have gone the Thurgood Marshal route to become mainstream Americans).

Having said way too much already, I tend to think that for humans to select a chosen “God on earth” at 2 years old and to have this “God” implement his will by unseen, unchecked men, to have this “God” live a disconnected life from reality, to watch this “God’s” followers kill with CIA furnished weapons and to have the people being supported (by China) as welfare recipients (because they haven’t developed under this “God”) is a bit too much and reminds me of black America. Furthermore, to have it’s people’s life expectancy increase from 35 to 65, to open the culture via a train from China and to bring education and individual hope to it’s people is a good thing, albeit from communist China and against “Gods little helpers” (“God” said he’s half Buddhist half Marxist)

“As for Tibet, it has belonged to China for several hundred years”

That’s a lie....pure and simple. Tibet was an independent country for most of its existence. It did not become a “part of China” till 1958 when Mao’s goons invaded and annexed the country forcibly.

I can’t believe how many FReepers are willing to believe ChiCom propaganda.

see comment above.

The infant was chosen as “God” because when the existening “God” died, his head turned East and the followers kept walking until they found “Him”

Couldn’t agree more. The ignorance of some here is astounding. What makes it doubly so is their audacity to show it off like a medal won.

Expanded troll alert...this thread is really attracting some attention from the ChiComs and their lackeys.

It looks like the ChiCom trolls have also banded together to sow disinofrmation on this forum.

So a life span increase of 35 to 65 years is a good thing, even if one is living in a prison? Why don’t the Tibetans get to choose their government? You seem to be against this. If I didn’t know better, I would say you are a PRC plant sowing misinformation, as there are many of them.

Qin wouldn't know a noble idea if it slapped him up against his stupid commie head. His "beautiful aspirations" are of a select party few living off the backs of the rest of his countrymen while they are forced to work at the point of a gun.

Buddhists do not believe in a “God”.....at least get the basics correct.

I also do not support Independence.

So I suppose your thoughts on freedom somewhat mirror that? If the rest of America turned commie all except for Texas, then by your logic Texas should also go commie.

You’re making a fool of yourself on this thread. But that’s a good thing - at least the authorship of your pro-ChiCom posts will be recognized readily in the future.

re: Texas. Texas wanted to be no part of Mexico, not even the native Tejanos in Texas wanted to be a part of Mexico. It was an independent country that voted for annexation 10 years after independence. Texas wasn’t violently annexed.

Re: Tibet was a part of China for hundreds of years, but the Tibetians are ethnically and culturally distinct from the Chinese. They had a right to declare independence, which they did in the 1910’s, and they had their independence robbed from them by Mao.

Color me skeptical but due to the entourage the Dalai Lama surrounds himself with

Who might that be? When I met the Lama he was surrounded by Tibetans. You obviously know little about the philosophy and preachings of the Lama.

In my 3.5 years on FR, I've never been personally attacked. But being as though you haven't been here for a year, I'll assume your learning the ropes and will thus reframe from a counter attack.

Brainwashed people believe in whatever you want them to believe in.

No, that's a fact, Jack! Tibet has been a part of China since the Yuan Dyansty in 1246 and remained that way until the fall of the Qing empire in 1911. It was during that time and the Civil War that Tibet declared "Independence".

FYI, it was 1950 when the Chinese started reasserting control over Tibet. It was 1959 when the Dalai Lama fled Tibet.

I can’t believe how many FReepers are willing to believe ChiCom propaganda.

It's not Chinese propaganda, it's HISTORY. Learn it.

Source? I agree about the need to learn history - only not from a ChiCom tool like you.

I am not attacking you; am merely pointing out the facts.

First you say that Tibetans have a God to worship. Then, when challenged, you claim they are brainwashed.

Some people deserve reproach; in my estimation you are one of them for sowing misinformation, and I belive knowingly so.

If you can give me facts, good sources, good historical references, first hand videos (youtube) and even your analysis based on your life experiences, knowledge and observations, then I will gladly call myself a fool and I'll say that you have enlightened me.
