| Ive been doing research and all for a presentation. It appears to me most people look at one side, but forget there are two. China invaded Tibet. That was wrong. They sent Han Chinese there. That was wrong. There is no freedom of speech. That is bad as well. But Britain Invaded Tibet too. They killed Tibetans and forced the Dalai Lama to sign a trade treaty. The Tibetans have to pay less then Han Chinese, and they mimimum scoore to be allowed at schools is lower for Tibetans. There is no freedom of speech in Chin. Nowhere. Of course, I must admit I dont know much about the punishments. I dont live there. But the Tibetan-in-exile-government says many wrong thins as well. China helped tibet in the 18th century. Tibet became an autonomous province. In 1951 the Chinese invaded to claim back their province and to directly control it. Why shouldnt they be allowed to control their own country, after they retought the partial independence. All Im saying is most people look at sites like Freetibet.com or tibetforjustice.com, and read the propaganda there. Same on the other side. Look at the "facts" on both sides, choose the most logical ones, and form your own opinion. Ill give you one. The Dalai Lama is an ageold use, the leader of tibet both spiritually and worldly. He is found by the Panza Lama after death, when he has reincarnated. Indeed the official Panza is picked by the Chinese government. The inofficial 1 was chosen the real way. The current DALAI Lama is from the time Tibet was autonomous. He knows what is best for his people. When he says he wants China to protect his culture and give Tibet bacl a good deal of autonomy but doesnt neccesarily want to become independant, then I believe him. Do not let yourself get pulled down by the mudfight of throwing dirt at each other. Look at both sides, and decide what you choose to believe. Perhaps it lies in the middle. Perhaps both parties are wrong. Only one thing is sure here: Neither China nor the Tibetan-in-exile government has told a single whole truth, nor do they reject lies. This has ben going on for so long its almost impossible to judge who is right. |
