The Weblog of Breaking Parity

From the article to which I provided the link below, there is another interesting piece of information:  

Both the Dalai Lama and his advisor and youngest brother, Tendzin Choegyal, claimed that “more than 1.2 million Tibetans are dead as a result of the Chinese occupation.” The official 1953 census–six years before the Chinese crackdown–recorded the entire population residing in Tibet at 1,274,000. Other census counts put the population within Tibet at about two million. If the Chinese killed 1.2 million in the early 1960s then almost all of Tibet, would have been depopulated, transformed into a killing field dotted with death camps and mass graves–of which we have no evidence. The thinly distributed Chinese force in Tibet could not have rounded up, hunted down, and exterminated that many people even if it had spent all its time doing nothing else.

Some may say, why are you showing so much disrespect toward Dalie Lame (Dalai Lama). One should respect him at least as a religious leader, shouldn’t he? I say: “the hell religious leader”. This man was a young ambitious dictator who struggled against the central Chinese government for his dream of kingship. Failed to find local supports, he became the best friend of CIA, spread rumors about China, trained insurgents and then smuggled them back into Tibet with the hope that they would bring him back to his grand palace. Only until middle 1970’s, his American support was cut off. As he described it himself, he felt angry and “betrayed”. Not a big surprise, is it? Anyone, who participates as a chess piece in foreign powers’ agenda against his own country, is bound to be betrayed sooner or later. I’m sure he must have had a very bad time, until finally he got the new idea. Hey, how about a “peaceful solution for Tibetans’ self-ruling”? That sounds like something would sell. To most westerners, the keywords are enough. How many of his supporters actually find out what kind of solutions he presented to Beijing? Those are full of craps. To start with, he asks for a territory at least 100% larger than the current Tibet region. Does this exhibit any sincerity toward reaching a solution at all? Now he is claiming that he’s “virtually powerless to stop the violence in Tibet”. If that’s the case, go resign. Don’t do it in words, but in action.

The point is, one can only switch his political stance so many times. I am glad that some of the radical Tibetan extremists are questioning his “moderate” route and even his leadership now. Those so called Tibetans, 2nd or 3rd generations of the Tibetan-in-exile, grew up in the west, speak English better than Tibetan, and have never lived in Tibet until their “government” send them there “for business”. They drink Coca-Cola, eat french fry, watch cartoon and play PS3, and meanwhile, they don’t forget to cry:”we don’t have any freedom! We must go back to fight the evil!”. Those are the rotten generations. The moment they abandon this old cunning  man, we are left with a much easier problem to solve.
