i was summarising what you said.

your big assumption is that t¡bet will go back to how it was ruled pre-1950 (let us assume we accept your notion that t¡bet was hell on earth pre-1950). your also assuming i am advocating something that is not being asked - for t¡bet to be free.

that was 58 years ago, these times are changing.


You summarized what you understood of what I said. You understood whatever you wanted to, ignored what you wanted to, and came up with your lame assumption.

So, tell us: how will t¡bet be run. By a Marxist da1a¡ 1ama? That will get some traction I think. Perhaps he can even run the Communist Party of T1bet! Wow.

And WHAT are you advocating after all? I think that even you dont know (that's what I understood from your posts).

Let's see.

Hmm. First let's create some infrastructure. Something like creating a railway so that goods can move more efficiently, a power station, invest in the real estate market, and perhaps invite qualified (or at least MORE qualified) labor to work and invest.

After all we cant live forever of meditation and yak butter (words of the da1a¡ 1ama, remember meditation doesnt fill up stomachs).

It's always the same: people know what they DONT want, but they rarely know what they DO want, and that's why most dont achieve it (not excluding myself here).

if t¡bet could change itself as strong as UK or USA, then it could be individual nation or country in world, but it is so hard to be it, cause nowdays no countries would like to help them directly by wills, China it has developed so strong and powerful, people only like talking with powerful or wealthy humans, people never like weakness or sickness person to make themselves down~~~~~

HC,

t¡bet could be replaced with one of 100 other minorities seeking independence/semi-autonomy etc. I would want a group representing the t¡betan people, probably Samdhong Rinpoche along with the da1a¡ 1ama to meet with Beijing to enter discussions. Regardless of what is going on now, they are not proposing an independent t¡bet - which is apparently what is stopping Beijing meeting with them now. Obviously religious freedom would need to be reinstalled as well as protection for the Chinese minorities that now live there.

Quite clearly the present situation is not advantageous to either Beijing or to t¡betans. Beijing would have much more to gain from finding a solution than merely burrying its head in the sand.

I've not claimed to have a solution and do not know enough on the subject to pretend to have one. It has even been too long since my world ethics class to run through the main ideas. I'm just trying to point out that your notion of events is just as twisted those you point out that believe t¡bet is some sort of spiritual nirvana.

Nathalie, I just don't know your definition about weakness, sickness, forceful or powerful... It sounds a bit self-centred....

But not all the Chinese are like this.

Sure views are "twisted", since they dont match yours.

Although you could not point exactly how they are "twisted".

"Good" argument.

"Enter discussion" on what exact points?

Bhutan has been a protectorate of India for quite a long time now. I dont know much about it but from what I understand it would be difficult to compare it with t¡bet given that it has a pretty strong monarchy and has been stable for quite a while. From what I just read (I am ignorant on the topic) they just converted to democracy and we will have to see exactly how it goes. Kudos to them. Would that work in t¡bet? Very hard to say.
One thing that looks positive is the limited number of parties, that could be a good thing.

Early to tell. And they have their big brother India giving stability. Good for them.


"I'm just trying to point out that your notion of events is just as twisted those you point out that believe t¡bet is some sort of spiritual nirvana."

Exactly which events you are talking about and how are they twisted.

Could you be VERY SPECIFIC?

It's kind of hard to discuss specific points with you if you can only come with the usual yadayda ("enter discussions" "finding a solution"), pre formatted ideas with little practicality.

I bet you are the kind of person that goes to a rock concert "free t1bet" and think that you really did good.

yes, me is very strange, me is not self-centred, me daily post in here, me spend lots of time on this site and think about the way of how to deal with t¡bet issues for all of us frequently by self, me weakness is impatience, me sickness is behaviors so soft-hearted, me is no forceful, but very strong-minded on getting what I want in life, me is no powerful, but very stubbornness in reality~~~~~~~

I think you make some good points and recent threads have encouraged me to learn more about the subject. Unfortunately this kind of line just makes you sound like a prick. I can't see anywhere the other poster has blindly suggested FREE T BET or something even approaching that.

Thanks.

I am famously known as an (arrogant) prick here.

Glad you liked some of the points.

Gotta take the good with the bad.

Peace!

hc is the master of extrapolative pigeonholing. If you don't agree with him, he labels you as whatever extremist fits the topic, regardless of what you actually have or haven't written. Disagree with him more than twice, and you're now also 'brainwashed' and 'pathetic'.

Yup, he's some boy. Laughing

Hi Buddy,I thought we should leave this "justice" forum asap. I took several hours to read the posts here and I found many pro-china posts be rudely attacked by dirty words and ridiculous comments. Whatever rude behaviour they do is reasonable and normal-mental,at most culture difference. But on the other hand,they stored a lot of words to Chinese:CCP-RULE,BRAINWASHED EDUCATION,POOR,Categorized.,etc. Now I wonder if speaking very dirty words in the pubilc forum(except the adult porn forum) is one of their culture,even some adults who have children already. One more thing, the moderator here(such as Yu888) will change the title of pro-china posts even change the content to the contratory to meet them without the writer's agree. He is definitely one of them.

About the riot in Lhasa,even they confirmed the riot, their points will turn to "why this happen" (of course this is an issuse)and not admit that the police has the right to calm down it by force in any country.

We should leave here. I thought you and me come here just want to share some truth. But they never listen to any truth from Chinese. Let them talk with themselves. Anyway,it seems that here is belong to English-speaking expats only. Anyway they do not post in Chinese forum, otherwise their clever organization will warn them such as: 一些西方媒体驻北京的办事处表示,他们收到了数百个抗议电话和传真。驻北京外国记者俱乐部上个周末向俱乐部的成员发出了警示,敦促他们对中国公众对外 国媒体的印象和看法保持警惕(VOA NEWS OF MAR.25)。

I am sure someone will use dirty words very quickly after my post. Who care? That is their culture. Now I understand a little.

What is "they" refer to? Of course not point to all expats here, but some guys. People will know.

^

But at a regular press conference in Beijing, spokesman Qin Gang acknowledged the presence of the pro-t¡bet activists.

"Any act to disrupt the Olympic torch relay is shameful and unpopular," he said.


It always fascinates me the way the Chinese govt expects people everywhere to respond to challenges of 'face' (and other Chinese cultural norms) the same way a Chinese person would. (before anyone jumps down my throat, yes, every country struggles with these kind of things)

hence the question is, is it better to:

make the mistake and then correct,
or not to make mistake by not reporting on it in the first place.

It's a reasonable piece and there are some quite good comments on there, including from several Chinese people. Can you imagine the Chinese media being so open to enter into a discussion about their reporting.
