anysia: (Liar Liar)
Since the March 2008 outbreak of violence in Tibet, China has stepped up its campaign to vilify the Dalai Lama, blaming him for the unrest, which Beijing says was part of a campaign to split the Himalayan region from the rest of China.

It's not the Dalai Lama that is causing the unrest. It's poverty, pollution, villages being destroyed for multi-billion dollar projects, people getting displaced with nothing more than the clothing on their backs. It's the gov't disappearing people, jailing or murdering anyone who dares to speak out.

Yes, The Dalai Lama did, back in 1959, try to free Tibet from the Chinese invasion and attempt of eradication. Who wouldn't? That area is called Tibet, and Himalaya. One would expect the Tibetans and Himalayans want the people trying to erase them to be gone.

"China has repeatedly blamed the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan leader, and his supporters for fomenting the unrest."

Dear Chinese Gov't;

The nicest thing I can say about the above statement is "Bullshit!"

Let's say nothing about how you invaded their country, then claimed it as your own, saying it was always part of China, even though that is patently a lie, have brutalised, and murdered the people there causing the 'unrest'. No, let's have you place the blame for your misdeeds on the shoulders of a man who was forced to flee, because as sure as the sun comes up in the east, if you had gotten your hands on him, he would either have been killed, or beaten into being a propaganda tool.

It's not just Tibetans who are protesting against your treatment of Tibet. It's the world. The Dalai Lama proved once again, he is a man of peace by stating he supports China's hosting of the Olympics, but insisted nobody had the right to tell protesters demanding freedom for Tibet "to shut up." He also proved he is a better person than I am because I don't think China should be hosting the Olympics, especially in light of what they did to their own frigging citizens to build the stadium and accommodations.

I support the athletes, but I will not be watching the events.
