中国是世界上最多的人口但西藏是一个无可争辩的独立国家。

对我来说中国政府必须思考西藏的问题。今日西藏流氓政府当于薘赖喇嘛的邻导下看起来个门活动是很平安的，可是中国很有名的作家王李秀说过薘赖去世已或藏族人们不会继须干平安的活动。另外西藏流氓政府的总理三多也说过不管花一百年多西藏流氓政府和组指已经准备了西藏问题的结决方法。

这次新疆饱发了汉族人和濰族人的毛顿决不是一个一班的事情，但这代表中国国家主席湖锦涛的名族团结的标语整是个无根据的。所以西藏和新疆的问题会影响中国国家的存在。

Fact vs Fiction

The July 5th Sunday unrest in Xinjiang and subsequent ethnic clashes leaves us with many unanswered questions. But based on reliable sources of information, that are corroborated, one can come to the following conclusions, that there are facts and also fiction:

Facts: Police opened fire on protesters. Chinese police did not crackdown on Han Chinese mob http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nYzgsSUSiE&NR=1as much as they did to Uigher minorities. The initial protest was largely peaceful. The Chinese did not have evidence to prove that exiled Uigher leader Rabeya Kadeer, instigated the protest.
Uigher did not say they want to kill or beat people, they demanded justice from the authorities. The Chinese government did not give a chance to the peaceful and peacefully started demonstration. The Chinese authorities were responsible for the atrocities. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8144362.stm

Fiction: The Chinese local xijiang government put the casualty figures at 184, without specifying who committed this offence. The exile Uighur group says Uigher casualties understated.

Value crisis

In a recent interview with HH the Dalai lama by a Germany journalist, the Dalai Lama was asked about the economic crisis to which he responded that the "financial crisis isn't purely a crisis of market economy, bur rather a crisis of value". From this interview, the Dalai Lama shared his insights on world economic woe, and I am impressed tremendously as always by His Holiness the Dalai lama's wisdom. The Tibetan spiritual leader may not have a economic background, but his indepth knowledge on Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, enabled him to grasp the human mentality so comprehensively and so sophisticatedly that he is well suited to comment on all issues. The Dalai Lama is a thinker, philosopher, scholar and scientist and economist. The world thinkers, scholars and journalists, weigh each and every words of HH, because in my view, they are so relevant and rational in this post modern interconnected world.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama's solution for the economic crisis is to inculcate value education starting from school, and so the change should begin with each individuals. Greed is the root cause as spelled out by HH . His Holiness also said the people who are most affected by this world financial crisis are the one who only think about money-even dream about it -are affected the most by it. So what lessons if any can learn from this economic crisis. Yes, the lessons we learn are many "the value of money is limited and insecurity is huge. Inner value, such as friendship, trust, honesty and compassion are much more reliable than money-they always brings strength and happiness". Despite of huge economic leap for the Chinese leadership, the Dalai Lama warns potential danger to it "communist elites only think about power and money, and this can be very destructive". So the bottom line is that money is not everything for a happy life not even for a happy society or presperous nation. As for happiness for an individual there is a formula :Happiness=compassion+emptiness. For a detail understanding of emptiness and compassion, "The Wisdom of Forgiveness" by HH the Dalai and Victor Chan is a must read. This is one of those rare books I have read by HH the Dalai Lama and it changed me and so will you on your outlook on life and its purpose.

Uigher revolution .

Five prominent Tibetan NGO based in Dharamsala organized a candle light vigil in expression of solidarity with the Uigher Muslims. The Dalai Lama issued a statement "I am deeply saddend by the deterioting situation in Xijiang and more so for loss of lives. I pray for the victims of family" and His Holiness also urged Chinese government to exercise restrain in handling the situation. A few Tibetans took part in Uighers demonstartions to protest Chinese crackdown in Washignton D.C. One thing is strikingly missing , it is the exile Tibetan government. It is not hard to predicate why the exile government remained silent on the events in Xijiang. There is a possibility that the exile government is losing an important public relation strategy, for keeping mum. The world is monitoring the situations in Xiajiang with such interest and intensity, leading newspapers from the continents churned out an plethora of editorials and Op-ed and reports on this Muslim minority clash with Han majority. U.S lawmakers were gearing up for a resolution to condemn the Chinese repression on the protesters, and dare to stand up with Rabiya Kadeer who is labelled by the Chinese officials as "terrorist" or "inciter"Turkyi Prime Minister would rise the issue on UN security council. The UN general secretary was "alarmed" by the number of death. President Hu Jiato cut short of his G-8 summit, a huge lose of face and an opportunity to exercise China's influence on major world issues with its counterparts in Rome.
It does not end here. The event in Xijiang has a rippling effect. Its consequence will be far reaching. Who knows, it is the beginning of the end of a trynicall rull. A Madarine caller to RFA said " ... only when the Han and Uighers unit to fight against CCP, can the people be victorous".

The scope of the protest.
It is not overstating that the Sunday's protest was unprecedented to say the least. News trickled out the protest was initially started by college students who express solidarity for the Uigher victems of Gongdong toy factory. in an Youtube image, thousands of protesters marching with nothing visible their hands. The incident could have been more damaging and more bloody, have the local authorities failed to intervene . South China Morning post reported "Thousands of students detained at college" in an obvious move to prevent their roles in the waves of protest that rocked Xingiang. From Uramqi, the clash spiraled into neighourings cities Kashagar and others. unconfirmed sources put the death figure at 1000, mainly from police shooting and beaten. XingUighers overseas spared no time to vent their support for their brethren. In Turkey, hundreds of Uighers scuffled with police for demonstration in front of Chinese embassy. In Holland, 13 Uighers were charged for hurling stones at the Chinese embassy in a vent of their frustration and anger. "The week's events have catapulted Ms. Kadeer to a new level of global recognition" thus wrote in a byline article in Newyork Time.

Foreign media

What analysts term as a "media savvy", Chinese government this time allowed foreign media to cover the events except in a stage managed manner. Foreigon correspondents access to the Uighers neighbourhood were denied and interview with locals were closely watched by official prodigies. Did China really learn a lesson from their blackout media tactic in 2008 Tibet uprising and now allowing this seemingly semi free reporting by foreign journalist. An answer to this question from the Neyork times's Curry wrote "By allowing reporters immediate, if controlled , access, China wins some plaudits for its openness. These tour groups usually included a continents from country such as Nepal and Russia, where press is nominally free, but journalistic standard are rather flexible and relation with Chinese government are good. These journalists were relied on to produce a suitable number of "independent" stories in English and other languages parrot the the coverage in the Chinese State run press. In today's media world where search engine hits matter more than quality of writing, the Chinese are probably correct in calculating that the small number of predictably negative stories from the likes of the Newyork Times... are acceptable cost to achieve parity or even supremacy in the post protest online spine zone". However, even this is a fact , I would not complain of what irresponsible journalist report. The burden is on the individual journalist and their ethical consciousness. Truth will be revealed, and it can not be hidden.
what is the root causes ,
Chinese officials in Xingjiang pointed their fingers squarely on the frail exile Uigher world congress chairperson Rabeya Kadeer, and "outside influence". The later lashed out on the lacklustre response of the local authorities in Gongdong to the toy factory brawl, and the China's 6 decades of repression and marginalization of Turkey identity and culture, and of course communist propaganda against Uigher as a "enemy" of the state and "terrorist", that fueled the resentment against each other, and so the root cause of the this ethinic clash..

China's harmonous society undermined. The event unequivocally send a clear and loud message that the foundation of communist party and its stability has been shaken. And Hu's mantra of harmonous society were shattered. Hu Jintao would not skip the G-8 summit, if the situation was not that grave. The Chinese government is a obsessed with maintaining stability and this major social upheaval become a nightmare. They would leave no stone unturned to crack and restore calm and peace to the region as evidenced with massive reinforcement of troops. If not quelled and resolved this simmering tension between the ethnics and it has the potential to derail China's territorial integrity and topple the communist power. After all it was the ethnic conflicts in former Soviet union that lead to its downfall. Who will win, the Chinese government or the disadvantaged Uighur people? it sound a simple question, but there wont be a correct answer, only time will tell.
I dont know if the exile Tibetan government is making a strategic blunder by not issuing any statement on the events, so does the U.S government. Interestedly, a Chinese professor at Renmin University in Beijing, Shi Yinhong commented " China's foreign ministry officials are smart enough to know the fundamental difference between some human rights organizations, and congress and the us government". But do the Chinese officials make a distinctions between the Dalai lama, exile government, exile parliament and other NGO. It has been China's practise to heap all the blames on Dalai Lama for any "splittist"actions that any exile entities engage in. Or could it be exile government is still creating a conducive environment? and hoping against hope for a dialogue, which i say will be a whimsical dream.

Uighurs vs Tibetan

The news of deadly "riots" in Xingjiang has splashed across the front pages of the world media. It is an irony that some U.S politician including Hillary Clinton says" we don't know all the facts, urged both sides to restrain". Whereas U.S speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi condemned the "brutal crackdown against peaceful protesters, and expressed concern for those detained during protest". Is US, the world's most powerful nation sending a right signal to China with such contradictory statements on the same issues and events unfolded in the China -occupied far western region of Xingjiang. What do the advocate of human rights make of Clinton's spineless statements?
Scholars and experts on China flatly rejected the notion that "quiet diplomacy" will not work with China. But still the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is too timid when making comments on China's policy against minorities. In her most rest trip to China, Clinton said human rights issue will not supersede trade and other priorities that US would like to engage with China. Ones deemed as a "hero" for standing up for the rights of voiceless, has now stabbed on their back. Is Clinton worthy of our respect?
amateur video images posted on social networks such as twitters and others shows the initial protest were peaceful and as crowd of hundreds of people marching through a thoroughfare avenue. Yet in another video, it is apparent who is charging against who. The peaceful protesters refused to disperse, that is when the Chinese riot police beat and chased them away, as seen in this clip http://http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1mOTG11KE4&feature=related

News analysts and commentator started to draw a parallel of 2008 Tibetan uprisings and the current Uighur protest in Urumqi. Both the protest started in a peaceful way, and turned into deadly riots resulting lost of innocent lives. Trace of identical elements in this mass protest are :
ethnics clashes between the Han majorities and Uigher minorities, protesters went on rampage. Chinese official media describes the protest in the same manner "looting, smashing, killing and burning", and then again Chinese government accused the exiled Uigher woman leader Rabeya Kadee for orchestrating and masterminding the protest in Uramqi. Official Chinese media failed to investigate the root cause of this resentment, which was not difficult to figure out. Instead protesters were labeled as "sparatists" with "outside influnce". As some analyts were quick to point out , the mas protest in Xingjaing were influenced by the Tibetan uprising in 2008. There is some truth in this. The Uigher minorities have for the first time in their history of struggle against the communist invasion, lauched a mass peaceful protest. In the past there were sporadic incidents of "violent attack", which the Chinese government claimed as an "act of terrorists". But a protest of this scale is unseen before nor such mass rally. The Uigher exile leader Rabeya Kadeer condemened voilence and urged protest to be peaceful. Thanks to the christmatic leadership of the Dalai Lama, Tibetan movement has remained nonviolent. Year 2008 was a Tibet year, when the brave people of Tibetan made their aspiration and hope explicitly known to the world. Year 2009, is a year for the Uigher. If protest is well planned and organized, leaving no room for violence, then the Uighers could make their case heard on the world stage. China is a rising super power, but at the snap of a finger the instability of Chinese society is exposed. The Chinese president Hu's call for a harmonious society sound very hollow. Giving the 60th anniversary of the founding of Communist China, there could be no better opportunities for the unhappy people to express their grievances. An opportunity too good to pass up... China is rising and the world is watching..
What lessons Tibetan learn from this historical moment:
Communist leaders have studied thoroughly the fall of soviet unions, and they would not repeat the mistake. Chinese leaders would not compromise on Xingjing, they would handle the protest in the same heavy handed manner, as they did to the Tibetans. But can brutal force conquer the spirit of human beings for ever? it might sound true that power comes from the barrel of a gun. But it is also true as Chairman Mao himself said, "whereever there is a suppression, there is a revolt".
In Today's post modern world, violence is condemned in any forms. Peaceful expression of universal rights were regarded as a essential fundamental rights of the people, which earn support from peace loving people of the free world.
The lessons Tibetans learn from the Xijiang protest is violence breed violence and it leads to a vicious circle. Han Chinese mobs were brandishing sticks and lethal objects roaming the streets of Uramqi, in retaliation of the killing and beaten by the Uighers. A section of Tibetan still have not given up violence as a means of regaining Tibetan Independence. But the Dalai Lama's vision and wisdom bars this raw emotion to surface from the Tibetan people in exile. As His Holiness put it taking up arms againts China is "suicidal". It can be not proved more starkling than the recents events of ethnic clashes in China and Xijing.
We should never abandon the path of peace, and mass protest is the way of highlighting Tibetan plights on international arena.

Shared understanding

A week or two ago, Tibetan exile media headlines "Dalai Lama rejects Tibetan exile PM's offer to quit"http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/politics/dalai-lama-rejects-tibetan-pm-in-exiles-offer-to-quit_100202618.html
This is a perfect example of communication is not what you said is what they thought you said.
PM Samdhong Rinpoche meant to say to the Dalai Lama that the 2011 Tibetan PM election be preponed two years earlier, so to "give younger Tibetans the opportunities to lead responsibly". So the Dalai Lama rejected the appeal on the ground that this "may send a wrong signal to the world community".

The news of Samdhong Rinpoche's offer to quit has disappointed many of his diehard followers, who even broach the idea of electing him for a third term by reforming the Tibetan exile constitutions in 2011. Samdhong Rinpoche is known to be most effective and most competent communicator in exile political cycle. Then why his thoughtful appeal has backfired him? Did it ever occur to Samdhong Rinpoche what the people would take react to his proposal for the advancement of Kalon election? Why there was such a gulf between what Samdhong Rinpoche said and what the people understood him.

In his interview with the VOT, Rinpoche clearly mentioned that there was a big discrepancy of what he proposed to the Dalai Lama and what media quoted and projected his proposal.

Rinpoche argued that it was not a proposal to resign at all, he advanced the idea of preponing the Kalon election which is permissible under Tibetan constitution. If he propose to resign from the post, then there would be a leadership vacuum, which he didn't intend to do at all. He further said the question of resignation comes only after a candidate won the majority and elected to PM, then he would resign.

However, Some media attributed Rinpoche's resignation over differences in his administration, which Rinpoche said to be a bogus. However there was different thoughts and ideas about the preponment of Kalon election among the cabinet members, but rarely any differing views on policy matters. Speaking in his usual calm and collected manner, Rinpoche convinced that his proposal to prepone was for the the best interest of Tibetan diaspora and even giving an opportunity for the young Tibetan leaders to shoulder responsibilities.
However, no matter what was his intention, his initial unintentional message to the media has considerable damaged his reputations. His opponents used Rinpoche's so called resignation offer as a means of undermining his leadership credibility. At a meeting in Washington d.C
a prominent former Tibetan exile cabinet member, speculated Rinpoche's resignation issue as such
" All his major policy, such as on education, privatisation, and dialogue with China failed to bear any fruits, unable to continue in such a state of affair, he probably wished to resign. What other reasons there could be?".

Communication is irreversible, despite of Rinpoche's clarification on the issue of resignation. The impact of the initial message was damaging and far reaching.

Dalai Lama's Birthday

Tibetans in diaspora were celebrating the 74th birthday of H,H the Dalai Lama in many ways. All the offices of Tibet in different countries and continent host receptions for dignitaries and Tibetan supporters. While Tibetan masses celebrate the joyous day of HH's birth with great fanfare. Thousands of Tibetans were converged in NY city, and the celebration began on Saturday 10:00am and keep going on till Sunday. It is marked with speeches by the representative of HH the Dalai Lama, followed by breathtaking cultural shows by young Tibetans.

"You might be in the world's biggest financial city, NY, but with this impressive show of Tibetan traditional songs and dances, there is an feeling of Tibetan identity being kept intact in the west" as says by the organizer of the two day events. The huge gatherings signals Tibetan people's unwavering trust in HH the Dalai Lama's leadership, it is an exhibition of Tibetan people's loyalty and love for their beloved spiritual leader the Dalai Lama. The day two, Tibetans have gathered in Central Park, where the partying continues with Tibetan song and dance and other merriment.

Meanwhile in Washington D.C the capital area of Tibetan associations for the first time celebrates Dalai Lama's birthday by taking into heart his preachings on warmheartedness and compassion. The organization would host a reception for the homeless in Washington D.C . A treat these disadvantaged people do rarely get in their entire life. Members of the organizations, donated foods and money for the homeless. "On his Holiness's birthday, it is an unique opportunity to accumulate good merits. With the economic recession, these homeless people were also affected with dwindling donation of money and food, we believe this is the perfect time to make them feel good", says Tse Lhamo an organizer of the reception for the homeless, speaking through her cell phone on the way to the receptions. She says, the Dalai lama has urged Tibetan people to take social works. Even it is just for a day,we want to make the homeless people at home by creating a sort Tibetan environment with Tibetan decorations, and on top of that a Tibetan food for them.
This is just the beginning of the celebration, July 6th, which is officially tomorrow, and Tibetan worldwide will celebrate their Messiah's birth with prayers and party.
