I think the West likes to exploit this Even the Dali Lama does not want a "Free Tibet" Just some autonomy. Which does not sound like much. Except it could be a dangerous starting point for the Chinese government. I believe there are other groups of people in other areas that would want the same thing? Is that true? |

What wrong with a little autonomy? Why are you so hot to defend China? |

very impressive ! but it was a recent "interview" that I heard him say that he did not want Tibet to break away, be independent from China he said that "autonomy" was what he sought so if you are making donations to "Free Tibet" it is not what he prefers |

I did not think is was as simple as many think it is. Even thought it is fun to go to a "Free Tibet" rock concert and buy a tee- shirt |

I was a fan of this site when I first got to Australia, beccause I couldn't open it in China. lol But the research result was quite disappointing. Debate about who has the more correct answer wouldn't have any result, cos we are not the profesionals of statistics. But I strongly suggest you to go to Tibet and have a look yourself. Just avoid the current events and Olympic traffic. |

![]() Not really. But people would be send behind bars if they spread information for seperate the country with large public audience (like what Bjork did in Shanghai concert, she got away because she's a foreigner), or organise similar kind of campaign/movement/party...etc. It was clearly stated in the Chinese law that it's a crime would result 5 years life sentence. As a individual, it's perfectly okay. But I did got some bashes for uploading it, some people fears that this would result a U2-ban in China. But the concern was vanished after free-tibet concert bands Sonic Youth and Rolling Stone hold their concerts sucessfully in Shanghai. Besides, I personally don't believe the Dalai Lama loving U2 boys would ever consider hold a concert in the communist China, so, it's all okay. ![]() ![]() |

Page 12 & 13 are fairly digestible, and 9 & 10 are helpful as well. http://www.case.edu/affil/tibet/book...n.in.china.pdf |

![]() You guys are right. Nothing bad is happening in Tibet. No one is being killed, no one is losing their language, religion is safe from persecution. It's all puppies and butterflies, with the Chinese government taking a lead on human rights in the region. They're working to make the Tibetans a happy people, free from all worry. ![]() ![]() |

In Paris.
![]() The girl who was carring the torch was sitting on her wheelchair, she's an athlete with only one leg. The guy in the white shirt is an athlete too, and he's blind. I guess that's the peaceful protest that Dalai Lama was referring to. |
