My analysis is very simple:
1. The Dalai Lama is a cult lead by a guy who has the mind and real life experiences of a child and who is supported by a system that is similar to Burma in its suppression of the human existence. It was worth CIA intervention to support this cult against the evils of communism in the past but not now (comment 22).
2. China exists as a typical communist country (comment 22).
3. Those who pledge their full support to China or the Dalai Lama are choosing the lesser of two evils. Based on Taiwan’s elections and knowing many people who have lived in China and Taiwan, I tend to think the Tibetans would fair much, much better under China (comment 22).
Ironically, the US presidential election and US politics in general mimics the same complexities as this argument. There are no good choices over the short term and the long term requires a dynamic approach and a lot of patience.
“My analysis...”
You’re being too kind to yourself.
“I tend to think the Tibetans would fair much, much better under China (comment 22).”
Have you ever spoken to or met a single Tibetian? I guess not. I can also bet that I’ve known and met more ChiComs and Chinese (they are not the same) than you - having lived and worked with them for some time. Tell you the truth - after our heated arguments, even the mainlanders would grudgingly accept facts that you refuse to acknowledge.
“China exists as a typical communist country”
BS
With this post, you have been certified as an ignorant tool of the ChiComs. Congrats on this singular dishonor - the days you spent in the re-education camp are proving to have some use after all.
