Dalai Lama a terrorist!
He's the only terrorist I think I could beat. Bring him on!

[cammi_d]

So the Dalai Lama is a terrorist, hmm, and George Clooney is gay and the Pope is converting to Islam.

George Clooney is gay.

Bite your tongue....

Just a thought, the Dalai Lama being a terrorist and Iraq being full of weapons of mass destruction, which statement rates as the dumbest of the 21st century?

That would have to go to the Dalai Lama comment. The U.S. at least attempted to make their claim sound legitamate with "eveidence". Yes they failed miserably but at least they tried. China is just throwing this out there and its ridiculously obvious that it is just empty rhetoric trying to legitimze their continuing human rights violations.

Aside from that sad attempt to divert attention back to Bush, China has over done itself on this one.

Ethnic repression in Tibet masterminded by faceless trioMichael Sheridan, Far East Correspondent

The architects of Chinese repression in Tibet are three senior bureaucrats little known to the outside world but destined to be the focus of condemnation from human rights groups in the months ahead.

China preserves the facade of an autonomous regional government and has paraded its ethnic Tibetan figureheads over the past week. Chinese researchers say they are political nonentities.

The real mastermind of Chinese policy towards the restive ethnic minorities is a 67-year-old lifetime communist functionary named Wang Lequan.

Wang has proclaimed himself to be the top terrorist target in China. Nominally, he heads the party in Xinjiang, which, like Tibet, is a vast, remote and resource-rich region troubled by separatism.

However, Wang sits on the powerful politburo in Beijing and has assumed overall direction of policy in both places. He devised the model that has stifled Muslim culture in Xinjiang, staged political trials and executions, poured in millions of Chinese settlers and extracted mineral and energy resources to feed the economy.

Wang almost never gives interviews and operates behind the scenes, but on March 10 he gave away the extent of his responsibility by telling China Central Broadcasting: “No matter what nationality, no matter who it is, wreckers, separatists and terrorists will be smashed by us. There’s no doubt about that.”

His henchman, now applying the master’s methods in Tibet, is Zhang Qingli, the region’s sharp-tongued party secretary. Zhang is the man who called the Dalai Lama “a wolf in monk’s clothes, a devil with a human face”. He rose up the hierarchy in Xinjiang and was transferred to Tibet in 2005 as a reward for his loyalty.

He accelerated campaigns against Tibetan culture and religion, brought in more settlers and stepped up the commercial exploitation of Tibet’s huge reserves of raw materials.

Zhang is on record as saying that “those who do not love the motherland are not qualified to be human beings”.

The third most influential figure is Li Dezhu, the party’s racial theoretician. Until recently the head of its innocuous-sounding Ethnic Affairs Commission, Li wrote the textbook on destroying independent cultures and disintegrating religious minorities by promoting materialism.

In 2007 he elaborated the theory of what he called “cultural security” for China in an article in a party journal called Seeking Truth. In it he unfolded a radical change in Chinese policy, stating that its aim was no longer to preserve minority cultures such as the Tibetans but to refashion them.

Nicholas Bequelin of Human Rights Watch says Li is the first leader explicitly to state that the problem of minorities would be “definitively solved” by mass Chinese migration.

Bahahahaha..

ya okay right..

soo why are you trying to hold the Olympic games in Beijing.. oh yes of course to open the world's doors to you.

Isn't it going to become apparent to the world that your greed completely overconsumes you country. Over production and Pollution are killing your country.. but yet you make and export more.. With no thought that your goods deemed for export may oneday rot in your shipyards.


6 Billion + people some of the world's most pollutted areas, labour camps, human rights atrocities, the fact you were even permitted to hold an Olympic games event was staggering to me, but then on the dawn before the arrival of the games, you pull this charade in front of the world's Media.

China is fast becoming a joke when they should be a world power. Nice political Spin to try and deflect the blame. You regulate what people in your country can see but not the WORLD.

Question for you corrupt chinese communist leaders... uhm Who uses the weapons CHINA builds, Mostly terrorist states. There are more chinese AK 47 copies and RPG's floating around the world in the hands of armies and armed insurgents that the Russian made ones.

Then you have the nerve to call the one man Dali lama who has dedicated his life to peace a "terrorist" when in fact the Chinese government has invoked Terror into the hearts and Minds of their people for 50+ years.

Give your freaky little heads a shake...Perhaps we shouldn't have helped stop the Japanese invasion in the 30's or perhaps funded and helped Chang Ki Shek's group when they left China for Formosa after the rise of communism in China.

Nope the Dalai would "Enlighten" your ass pretty quick I'm afraid...

They are holding the Olympics in Beijing for one reason Money. The Olympic controllers and the rulers of China are mirror images of each other, consumed by power and greed.

[ShepherdsDog]

The Middle Kingdom wants to prove to the world that it isn't a middle aged has been. China can't be persuaded, engaged or reasoned with, only a a good old fashioned slap down would convince them to adjust their attitude.

Incorrect, China was allowed to hold the Olympics because it is other countries way to get them more involved with the world.

[ziggy]

With all that security, 3 protesters still managed to disrupt the torch lighting ceremony this morning.

That's been the rational ever since they USSR fell. That trade and tourism would infect the Chinese with a hunger for western things and they'd become more open and that would be reflected in their politics.
I hope none of you have been holding you're breath because none of that happened.

Let's consider the places in the world that China is involved in:
Tibet
Miramar
Somolia...

By those examples, I don't think the world needs or wants more Chinese involvement.
