Hi, thanks for your comment, especially for the link. It's hard to find material in English that gives a true picture of Tibet, thanks again!

Hi Bonney,

Agree with you, the Russian democracy case is a good example. In fact, most Tibetans are not rioters or demonstrators at all but the western media desperately wants to show the world all Tibetans are against Chinese government which is untrue. They even manipulated news images in order to get their news right. This has greatly angered Chinese people, we didn't expect the western free media could be so irresponsible, it made us believe they have an agenda.

Very nice to meet you, by the way.

Good points, Bonney. It would be so nice to have someone who wants "Free Tibet" to come over and present his/her opinions. So far, I haven't had the luck to receive one...

The western reporting on Tibet riot has truly educated many Chinese people that the western media is not truly free as it would like people to believe, we are all shocked. I have noticed that they always want to impose their ideas and values to others but I didn't expect they would FAKE the news.

Tibet became part of China since 1271 and has never become an independent nation again, even Britain and American government have to acknowledge it. In fact, no governments in the world recognize Tibet as a nation. But no westerners/Americans know. What an irony?

That's interesting, so BBC is comparing native Indians to Tibetans? I do remember three months ago, Lakota Sioux Indians declared independence from USA, why wouldn't USA let it go?

The USA was founded only in 1776 while Tibet officially became part of China in 1271, that's about 500 years earlier.

Even earlier, about 1300 years ago (Tang Dynasty), upon the request of Tibetan King who admired Chinese culture very much, Chinese emperor sent Princess Wencheng to marry the King, she traveled all the way to Tibet and brought Buddhism as well as many cultural treasures with her, stayed all her life in Tibet despite missing her native land so much. China was very strong at the time, never conducted genocide of Tibetans as they did to the native American Indians. Now BBC is to compare native American Indians to Tibetans? That's inconceivable, only BBC could have such "brilliant idea".

Please explain a bit more on your 2nd comment, are they going to create a Chechnya out of China's Tibet? That's so scary.

It's your idea? then why you said "this news are from BBC - Putin's news first...."?

Your first comment meant you are still thinking?

I am very confused...

Hi Slava,

I guess I know what you mean even though I am not 100% sure.

Does BBC understand the issue? I don't know. The problem is that they are not trying to solve any problems, instead, they are creating.

The international community has called for lifting economic sanctions against Cuba for so many years, everyone is against it, yet..., the sanction is barbaric, hurting ordinary people, isn't?

China helps Cuba from time to time, like bringing them high growth rice seeds, TV sets, etc. I wonder how Cuba would look like without the sanction.

Dear Bonney, thanks for the information.

I wonder if there is a picture showing Chinese military opened fire on the first piece of news, there are many claims but now evidence so far.

About the video, I can hear they were speaking in Chinese language, but don't know how they interprets it in Finish. When the riots spread to the neighboring area, I am sure anti-riot police force won't be enough so I assume troops were called in to deter but I haven't seen any real shootings in picture.

About Dalai Lama's picture, yes, it's not allowed officially because he is considered a separatist by the government, however, the government is not really monitoring it very closely.

The picture of the monks is true, it was shown in Chinese TV too, they were quite violent which embarrassed Dalai Lama because he has always been portrayed as a "peaceful" leader.

As you can see most Tibetans are quite simple, they are not rioters at all, those rioters were part of a so called "Tibetan Youth" organization which receives foreign fundings as shown in this piece of news. It's a well known open secret.

Welcome CanUhearMe, I am glad you step up to present your idea, I hope you can start reason with me rationally about Tibet, this includes Tibetan history.

I have watched the video you presented in the link in English on youtube before, it's a propaganda with fabrications and it seriously distorted the history. I am reviewing it now, let me show you a couple of examples of what I caught so far:

1) At the very beginning, how did they take the picture with a guard and a Tibetan in ropes? This is only a minor question. Now, have you noticed that they used the British version of Tibet history, in fact, British briefly colonized Tibet, is it fair to let the colonists to state the Tibet history? Ask yourself a logic question, why no countries in the world including France recognize Tibet as an independent nation? Do you have any historical evidence to show Tibet ever an independent nation? I have tons of evidences that show Tibet was under China's rule for over 700 years. We will get into history step by step. For now, just present questions for you to begin to think.

2) All the scenes shown on the video about Tibet before 1950 were celebrations or big parties of mostly upper classes, do they really represent the social conditions of Tibet at the time? Ironically, I have a video clip from the same German expedition team which showed the other side of the story. Tibet was in a terrible condition that was worse than the medieval age, 90% - 95% of the populations were actually serfs and slaves. Here is the clip:

2) Anyone familiar with Chinese history know that this following picture was NOT taken in 1949 as the film claimed, it was in 1960s during culture revolution, can you see everyone is holding a red book? There was no red book in 1949 yet. So the producer obviously misused historical photos to distort history, this is a propaganda film, not worth the trust.


3) This following picture is more likely taken in 1959 after Dalai Lama's clique with the support of foreign government staged a bloody killing of the local government officials that year, not taken in 1950:

I would like to ask if you are familiar with Tibet-Chinese history between 1950 - 1959?

4) On the English video, at 17:00 mins, it said that "the pretext for the (Chinese)intervention was the presence of foreign army" ... can you find a historical proof that this was what China said in 1950? This is a lie.

5) It said Ban Chan Lama's was following the plotting of his advisers sided with teh central government, then why not saying Dalai Lama was following the plotting of his foreign advisers? When Dalai Lama took all the gold with him away Ban Chan Lama stayed and worked with his people all his life, so who is more credible?

By the way, I have many documentary films to show you later, so keep an open mind.

Hi Philippe, I appreciate your consideration but you really don't have to delete your comment(s), I knew it's a very tough topic when I started this post. I am sad not because of your comments but because there are so much misunderstanding out there about Tibet. I don't expect you to accept my opinion but only hope you and everyone will keep an open mind.

I don't understand French, but I remember the beginning part of the video, however, I am quite sure this English version is fabricating and misleading. I was in my lab yesterday collecting data till very late so I could only post a few examples. Today I finished 2/3 of the video, I got so tired of it, here let me give two more examples in pictures:

6) At 27:53mins, it said books were burned taken away from monastery, is this true? Take a careful look of the upper picture, please repeat the clip if necessary to make sure you see it clearly, those were papers not books! Those papers were actually decrees signed by serfs/slaves when they were sold to the rulers/nobles/slave owners. How do I know? because this footage was showed in a Chinese documentary film too. Have a good look:

7) At 30:18mins it showed pupils were learning in class, said this is the Chinese method. So what does it mean? what's Chinese method exactly? Before the central government took local power from the local "nobles"/rulers, 90% of the population were NOT allowed to learn how to write their own language, this is why we call "liberating Tibet", which is true. Since then, students have been learning both Tibetan language and Chinese language. Is there anything wrong? Why not telling the truth?

I have written down 10 additional notes during my watching, most are verbal disinformation, I just got so tired of it and stopped watching. I may or may not add those notes to this post later, it's just too much...

Hi Zhouye, thanks for your appreciation and reminding. In this case I am afraid it's not about high expectation, different opinions or demanding for "perfection", it's about purposely distorting facts. And I am not alone:

@zhouye:

I understood how you feel, just ignore the comments. Here is a new film coming out on youtube:

By the way, I read your comment on Dalai Lama on your blog, I just can't afford the time right now to analyze everything with you, but my simple questions are: 1) Does Dalai Lama have a genuine heart? 2) What good has he done to Tibetan people? My answers are no and no. That's why I have no respect for him.


@Phillipe:

From this short video clip you can see again those so called "books" are in fact papers as I mentioned earlier:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsoc4-QnplY

I understand, Philippe. We are just the same, people under the same Sun and the same Moon, only a small number of greedy ones who can't live without wars, they can't profit without harming others. What could be a more lethal weapon than provoke ethnic/religious wars?

Peace and love!

Hi my friends,

This French senator is brave, a lonely voice in France but he is well respected in China, here is what he says in a video clip. More and more people are standing up now.

OK, take your time and don't get upset so easily. Have a beautiful day! He is telling the truth!

I am happy that you have been "converted". p: Thank you for the Mélenchon link, I have read the whole article and many comments from another friend's blog a while ago(corrected an inaccurate statement). Thank you again!
