richard gere i love u and what u are standing up for, as for the communist funded comments below, u all can go fuck ur selves, u all are supporting the torture and tyranny that is taking place in tibet right now, be proud that u all are all trying to hide the bloodshed that is so evidently taking place, i pray for your misguided souls..
Wow, here we go again. Why is it we try to tell everyone in the world what they have to do. We tried to force Iraq to do what we wanted couldnt stay out of that one. Same in Afgan. . Now we are trying to tell the Chinese what to do. People there no WMD's or terrorists in Tibet. This is their business we need to stay out. We are not the global police or global bullies. We asked the Chinese to leave they said no. No means no people. Hey Richard Gere shout the hell up!!
A French writer's book put on sale recently has disclosed another side, including opportunism and tricks, of the Dalai Lama deified by some Western politicians and armchair pundits.
Maxime Vivas's new book "Not So 'Zen': The Hidden Side Of The Dalai Lama" hit the shelves of bookstores and online retailers Thursday, days after the Dalai Lama himself held a three-day public conference in the southern French city Toulouse.
Facts and views in the 130-page French-language book refute the long-time self-beatification of the Dalai Lama.
"Based on the word of the Dalai Lama in his transcribed memoirs and also in his speeches during his trips abroad, Maxime Vivas highlights opportunism, omissions, tricks, and lies of a man and his kingdom," the publisher Max Milo Editions said in a press kit.
"In a plea for secularism, the author raises the question of what would be a 'Free Tibet' led by a recalcitrant prophet in front of science and freedom of worship," the publisher said, while presenting a briefing of a feudal system decades ago under the Dalai Lama and the free primary education system in today's Tibet that is significantly bringing down the illiteracy rate.
"The trend in France is mostly to edit mass books praising the Dalai Lama. Writing against the Dalai Lama or breaking his image is akin to smearing the portraits of Nelson Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi, the idols which we can't touch," Vivas told CNN.
Confusion-and-curiosity-driven, Vivas conducted a truth-seeking trip to Tibet in the summer of 2010 with several other French journalists.
He found there is a modern Tibet prospering with free prayers in temples and monasteries and even on the streets, and Tibetan-written signs are everywhere.
"What I saw in Tibet is not like what I read from the French press and books," he said.
To clarify the contradiction of the real Tibet he witnessed and the one in the Dalai Lama's propaganda and most Western reports, Vivas read numerous documents, including studies of French parliamentarians, and researched opinions from various angles.
"This book is not based on documentation of the opponents of the Dalai Lama, not documentation of the Chinese authorities," he said. "But the information I have drawn from speeches, lectures, interviews and memoirs of the Dalai Lama, and also with his
The book with the Dalai Lama's photo on the cover is now on the bookshelves of Fnac, the largest retailer of cultural and electronic products in France, and in the book category of U.S.-based Amazon.com, the world's largest online retailer.
There have been many comments about the book on the Internet.
Some pointed out the double status of the Dalai Lama mixing political with religious faces.
"However the truth is, he is not actually the person he appears to be. His actions have not always been in accordance with his message of peace, tolerance and compassion..." a netizen named "Caz Namyaw" commented.
The book also has drawn attention from the French media including TV5, bfm radio and France info, among others.
Showing footage of a regional TV channel's interview on the book, Vivas pointed out several illogical arguments posed by some French media, which he said questioned him on the basis of prejudgment rather than the content of his book.
Vivas also said he didn't believe in the Dalai Lama's March announcement of handing over political power because he since met U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House in July
Wait a minutes - those are INDIAN police. I wonder why CNN won't show the police faces. Those are protests in INDIA. What does it have to do with China?
So the Chinese government don't want to see protests in INDIA? Wolf, you are an idiot.
Listen here richard gere! Just because you hang out with tibet separatist, downloaded a few pages on freetibet websites and shed a tears watching 7 yrs in tibet doesn't make you a tibet scholar. When are people gonna figure out that just because a celebrity gives his/her opinion on a politically charged cause doesn' t make them qualified to do so. I sincerely doubt that this moron can be unbiased in his interpretation of event seeing as how he hangs out with the dalai lama. I so hate his movies.
Actually Mr. Gere has been fighting to free Tibet for at least 25 years. He has been there and kicked out of China because he was standing up for the freedom of Tibet. I'm CERTAIN he knows a hell of a lot more than you ever will. I suppose Ignorance is bliss, from some like yourself, when life is do damn frightening.
Actually I don't think he knows more than I do about tibet because I've read a little ( just a little) about tibet before and after the dalai lama. That's why I'm no longer a fan of freetibet or the dalai lama. Ignorance is bliss and that's why I could never be a bandwagon hopping freetibet fanatic like you. It takes courage to think outside the media these days especially when it come to tibet. But I agree with you...ignorance is bliss. One question though...how do you feel about a theocracy???
For some unknown reason, The current Dalai lama felt threatened by this sect, and banned them, persecuted this branch, and label this sect of Tibetan Buddist believers as Chinese traitor, and evil.
Dalai Lama is a King dictator, not a god. He is biggest lier today in the western world.
The Chinese government is consisted of a bunch of people who do not hesitate to commit murder their people. When the atomic bombs tests succeeded in Uyghur, scientists jumped for joy. 190,000 Uyghur died by the tests. Moreover, the Yellow River flood was created by the Nationalist Government in central China in 1938. Before Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Yellow River Flood, he did not tell to the people, therefore, the flood waters took an estimated Chinese 500,000 lives. This is the China.
1) Beijing is confronted with the Tibetan people whose sense of a united nationhood stretches back at least as far as the seventh century.
2) This is a religious issue for them, even after 50 years the devotion to His Holiness The Dalai Lama is as strong as ever. He is not only their King but he is also their Spiritual Guru
Richard Gere doesn't know shit. It was clearly the Tibetans who started rioting, destroying property and killing people. The Chinese had every right to put down the riots.
The communist party got the Olympics despite all the human right abuses that happen in Tibet. So Tibetans are likely to have been upset because the International Olympic committee did not manage to improve the situation in Tibet at all.
Apartheid in South Africa was fixed with help from sports.
I never said they wanted to prevent China from hosting the Olympics, just that they wanted to embarrass China by making it look unstable.
But just in case you haven't noticed China's human rights record has improved a lot since when the Communists first took over. Nobody likes to talk about that though. It is on a upward trend, they aren't where westerners like it to be yet but it's slowly getting there.
Even if that was true which it isn't, since under the Dalai Lama's rule disembowelment was practiced, that doesn't overshadow that in Tibet today they have clean water, electricity and get a secular education.
Well what can I say, if you seriously think floggings is the worst thing to happen and refuse to look into it any further then I can't help someone who wants to stay willfully ignorant.
What do I think about the communist party? Well I'm not a communist if that is what you are referring to. I'm an American living in DFW Tx with no particular political ideology. But I can understand you trying to expose me as a communist, first sign of an attack by someone with no real argument. McCarthyism FTW!
Do some research and check my channel. The name I wanted was Chinese Communist Party Kills Nuns and Loots Tibet. But it could not be used because it has more than 20 characters. If you don't like my name please watch
Shooting them like dogs
watch?v=gPSbVPILEj8
and learn about Tibet (a nun was killed in that shooting).
I honestly could care less about the name you choose. My thing is the fact you wanted a name like that shows that you have an agenda of attacking China. It's pretty much equated if I picked the name "nazijew" people aren't exactly going to think I'm coming from a perspective of wanting to tell the truth and rightfully would think I'm pushing an agenda.
And I've seen that video before. Flimsy evidence at best, but even if true I don't condone the shooting of anyone if not in self defense.
You misunderstand me, I don't care that you choose the name. Thing is I don't see much reason to take you seriously when you obviously only care about demonizing one side.
Do I think the communist party is doing a good job? That is a pretty vague question, in terms of economic and social development, I would say yes, the average Chinese standard of living hasn't been this high in a long time. In terms of human rights I think they are improving as well but still have a ways to go.
you know they are talking nonsense.i live in china i clearly kown what happan in tibet.CNN is too irresponsible for what they say .tibet is in china so as to taiwan
get out of america, Richard Gere! give it back to the "Indians" the natives, they are repressed! DON'T STOKE fire there.You are used for political gains by monks!
there is a reason why this man is a actor and not scientist. Ready to go on his feelings and emotions rather that investigating for facts and history.
Êtes-vous un enfant? vous ne connaissent rien à l'histoire? taire, et ne pas vous tromper ici! peuple français sont aimables, mais vous êtes une exception!
si vous le souhaitez, laisser message, nous rendons AA, je vais vous conduire à la Chine, et également au Japon! à voir avec les yeux, pas putain de gueule!
shut up! liar!stupid liar!what do you want?son of bitch!you will get revenged!
1.3 billion blind suckers without the idea of real history... china is a poor nation if you watch it from this view.. and if you watch to the chinese government, i wouldnt like to be chinese anymore.... what a shame
1.2 million Tibetans. Destroying thousands Of monasteries and homes Under His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Tibetans have Take the nonviolent approach For freedom.
i checked the statistic bureau of ROC, which has recorded the population of tibet 1911-1949. during those 38 years, tibet population were seldom above 1 million.
Dr. M. Goldstein specified this in his books as well.
CNN PAIED SO MUCH MONEY PAY & BRAINWASH RICHARD GERE TO TALK UTTER RUBBISH ABOUT CHINA AND TIBET.
Tibet is NOT a independent country, IT IS a chinese province/state!
Chinese regained control of their state during the 1950s which removed tibetian slavery and poverty. The tibet people are FREE in China. China respects them, money has been pumped into infrasture/health/farming etc.
YOU Pro Tibet Protesters - need to update you knowledge, and remove racism out of you minds
he lies: tibet was always an independent country 1,2 million tibetans were killed
his people lie: there were no slaves in tibet there were no serfs the serfs had good life before 1959 the tibetans were genocided the tibetan religions were genocided the tibetan culture were genocided chinese steal minerals
as a matter of fact, it is difficult to find when his people told truth.
almost everything they said can be overthrown by evidences and logic.
It doen't matter if Tibet ever was part of China (was not), what matters is that Tibetans have the right to be free and decide for themselves what is best -- as does everyone else!
do you want to know what the tibetans are thinking? John Pomfret Washington Post 23-07-1999: . . . few Tibetans would welcome a return of the corrupt aristocratic clans that fled with him in 1959 and that comprise the bulk of his advisers. Many Tibetan farmers, for example, have no interest in surrendering the land they gained during Chinas land reform to the clans. Tibets former slaves say they, too, dont want their former masters to return to power.
The stupidity and gullibility of Hollywood comes out of a sense of self-righteousness and the need to support a cause to release their own personal guilt for living a lavish exploitative lifestyle.
You want to see slaves? Talk to a production assistant on any film or TV set these Hollywood hypocrits work on. See how poorly they are treated and how these divas and divos lash out over the wrong coffee in the morning.'
almost 7 centuries being part of china, begged many times the help of chinese emperors, so that their antagoists were wiped off and they were made the gods (DLLM and Panchen) of tibet, while only 36 years of high autonomy in only one part of tibet (east kham was not territory of DLLM), and you call this never ever was a part of china?
fuk u mother fucker coomie chihnese spy here on you tube lick my tibetan dick u moron ,peadophile ,fuck u commie china get the fuck out of my country .
How could this stupid arrogant guy reports on "situation" in Tibet if he has never been to Tibet? He is a fake buhhdist. He has a big mouth that likes to spread rumors and tell lies and he loves to poke his big nose into other's business. A disgusting shallow actor!
@theoneintheall Wow, here we go again. Why is it we try to tell everyone in the world what they have to do. We tried to force Iraq to do what we wanted couldnt stay out of that one. Same in Afgan. . Now we are trying to tell the Chinese what to do. People there no WMD's or terrorists in Tibet. This is their business we need to stay out. We are not the global police or global bullies. We asked the Chinese to leave they said no. No means no people. Hey Richard Gere shout the hell up!!
richard gere u should come to china and see what 's really going on in china before open ur mouth .seems u are an expert of international relations,well that's not true ... u better study harder ! btw;the shown footage is a joke ,come on C N N !!u can do better than that .lol
I lived in China and in Tibet. Tibet was a feudal state before Chinese invaded, so was China till 1911 and under warlords till 1949 and communists slaves since then. Whenever I raised Tibetan issue to Chinese, they defended their occupation by pointing Tibet before 1951. Should Japan be justified for invading China because of brutality of Chinese warlords after 1911
17 Point Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet which china signed in 1951
point #4 The Central Authorities will not alter the existing political system in Tibet. The Central Authorities also will not alter the established status, functions and powers of the Dalai Lama. Officials of various ranks shall hold office as usual.
CHINA STOP LYING, STICK TO YOUR PROMISE
dont believe magnietuit, he is a CCP member like superpowerchina
ccp proposed only social reform, and it was agreed by dllm. for 8 years, ccp didn't do anything for the social reforms, instead, they counted on dllm and his elite government, to carry out the social reform, but the efforts were simply neglect.
in 1959, dllm fleed.
if he fleed, that means he gave up his power.
he should have blamed himself not anybody else!
he broke the agreement firstly, who else can he blame?
Richard Gere is so Bias. Obviously, chosing him to be on the news is only going to support further goal of CNN to spread propaganda against China now and the rest of the world.
i wonder if people realize that all the footage that's being shown in this video clip of soldiers beating people aren't chinese soldiers...they're soldiers of nepal. those soldiers don't even look chinese for crying out loud. another example of the bias western media trying to demonize China...this time with video clips of soldiers that aren't even Chinese soldiers.
Free Tibet, Free Tibet From the Dalai Lama Institution!
"The Dalai Lama office was an institution created to benefit others. It is possible that it will soon have outlived its usefulness." -- Tenzin Gyatso, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama
Fuck you Richard Gere, Ive lost total respect for you ... in my eyes your just another dumb ass ignorant red neck sensationalising and exaggerating the issue at hand.
gere's gears aren't turning. where is he pulling this information from? tibetan buddhism is alive and well in tibet. he would know that if would simply go to tibet. a trip to tibet is cheaper than a trip to europe. besides, the people of tibet would never willingly return to the fuedal theocracy of dalai lama.
4) China expanded its influence in Tibet after 1720, as a powerful country dealing with a weaker neighbor. It later tried to occupy Tibet by force, violating the Cho-Yon relationship, but with the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, Tibetans expelled the Chinese and the 13th Dalai Lama proclaimed Tibet's complete independence...
•3) The Qing Dynasty (1644-1911): The Manchu rulers of China were Buddhists, and Tibet's Dalai Lamas and the Manchu emperors had a special priest-patron relationship called Cho-Yon whereby China committed to providing protection. Chinese nationalists may see this as sovereignty, but it wasn't. China at various times exercised influence and sent armies into Tibet - but so did Nepal during this time.
2)The Mongols never ruled Tibet as an administrative region of China, Tibet was given special treatment because Tibet's Sakya lamas were the religious teachers of Mongol emperors. By the fall of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, Tibet had again become in charge of its own affairs.
1)13th century: Beijing claims that Tibet became part of China during the Yuan Dynasty.
The Yuan was actually a Mongol empire, with Chenghis Khan and his descendents conquering China and nations around. For China to claim Tibet based on this would be like India claiming Burma since both were part of the British Empire.
Dickhead; ignorant fools like you always make me laugh. The fact that you think China is only made up of one ethnicity shows how ignorant you are. Even though the Mongols did conquer the Hans; they established a CHINESE EMPIRE. They DID NOT establish a FOREIGN empire. fucktard
A shame. See with eyes unclouded. Tibet is a wonderful place to visit. 0:25 Indian police. This is not even in Tibet. Please go and take a look yourself. It's a safe place, unless coordinated riots to steal and kill people are organised. It felt very safe and secure there. Humans have their own agenda for war. Let there be peace and prosperity. I was shocked to learn that the Dalai Lama was responsible for so many deaths. It is shameful to the people of Tibet. Please take a look at history.
This is what happen when rich people got bored, they join a so-called freedom cause to give them a meaning to their useless life. Gere cries so that he does not fade out of the public eyes, but I don't see him opening his own house door to Tibetan refugees any time soon.
sjwr3, I think it was lives before freedom. They reclaimed it after the British (and Germans, Portugese, French, Italians, Russians, and Japanese) caused the Chinese to lose it.
Don't point fingers until you're willing to pay reparations for 200 years of sheer horror.
Free Tibet! Free East Turkistan! Free Inner Mongolia! Do you know Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989? Do you know that your government in Beijing made its soldiers kill students on June 4th, 1989? Can you imagine how students were run over by tanks at Tiananmen Square? It has been only 19 years! China (government) is repeating the same thing in Tibet today. It is too early for China to host Olympics. 六四天安門事件 watch?v=EPHEV5Sh0ls
We Jap slaughtered many Americans, British, French and Chinese, our hands full of their blood, we loved it, we were nuked twice with that beautiful mushroom over our sky, now our genes are mutated, our mind retarded and brain dead, now we bang on our mother and sister daily to feel good, most of us now are bastards and children of incest with poisonous blood, our race is becoming evil and like demon, so please and please nuke us again to set us straight !!!!
Those ignorant, naive or prejudiced person like Gere and spreading rumors and lies. They are supporting a few activists and terrorists who do not represent the majority happy Tibetants.
Here is the link. Prepare to be shock about how restricted the media is in China and all the western media reports on the word "democracy" is not allow in China are true!! Pray for the lady. Her organs may be harvest by the CCP.
If you're for Free Tibet, instead of posting ridiculous comments like:
1) "Chinese are mind controlled robots"
2) "Destroy China"
3) Lies
4) Any combination of the above 3
Post suggestions on how to improve the situation, not on how to instigate hatred, destruction, anarchy, and war!
Reasonable people are more open to reasonable suggestions, while barbaric people are more open to barbaric suggestions, and stupid people to stupid suggestions.
Amen, brother! Also, lets start figuring out what would happen after independence. Let's say Tibet becomes free...then what? Would the economy survive? Would they be a stable country? I would hope so, but let's look beyond the mantra "Free Tibet" and look deeper into this.
As British proved, Chi Marxists started the riots in hopes of killing dissenters before Olympics. Seems to have backfired, so, now they HOPE there is a boycott, so they can mobilise the masses of unthinking robots... hee hee!
If you don't know, China is a rapidly developing nation, and has many problems to deal with, including the often vicious, vexatious, vilifying, vociferous western media, which sucks up so much attention through attaching the word 'controversy' to anything it touches, that in the end it hinders whatever progress the Chinese government is trying to make. Questioning brings issues to light, excessive questioning is provoking, which brings unnecessary attention and conflict.
People are always questioning the Chinese government and its policies, such as the media's silence to these events. But what good does constantly heckling the Chinese government bring?
These people are citing the mistakes to make it HARDER to move on!
How much do you think the Chinese government can get accomplished if it's swamped with idiots questioning about their media and other idiots asking of Mao's still in charge?
If you insist Tibet has been part of China, how can you explain the fact that Tibet was treated as a quasi-defeated nation after WWII because of her neutral (pro-Japanese) attitude during WWII?
Yuan (Dynasty) territory might have included Tibet, but Yuan was a Mongolian empire, not Chinese one. The same thing can be said about East Turkistan & Inner Mongolia. Ming and Qing Dinasty had only a bare "relation" with these areas. Han Chinese have never "govern" these - Han Chinese were and are "unwelcome" immigrants only. Tibet, East Turkistan, Outer Mongolia declared independence after Xinhai Revolution 1911 (Inner Mongolia 1939), which China has ignored until today.
But your government in Beijin has not allowed journalists from other countries to take photos/videos, to interview people, etc., in Lhasa without any restriction since March 16. Chinese officers told (in a high-handed tone) Japanese tourists leaving Lhasa not to say anything about what they saw on March 16.
And - remember that your government shut down the line between mainland China and YouTube the other day.
The violent, barbaric, superstitious, lazy, stupid, backward, uncivilised spirits of the Tibetan people will never die? Yes, ill-willed people like you and Richard Gere are keeping it alive. Don't pretend that you ever respected the Chinese people, because you don't even bother to do a thorough research that would lead you to an unbiased truth about Tibet. In short, you had been waiting for the collapse of China for years. Rest assured that your life isn't long enough.
Tibet was a feudal society before China came... what are they thinking? The thing that really gets me though is... why was the Chinese government blocking the newscasts of the protests in Tibet? The protesters were throwing stones and violently assaulting not only the police but Chinese citizens, women and children too. No, I'm not Chinese, but this nonsense (capped by that ridiculous and shameful attempt to steal the torch from Jin Jing in France) really leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
Chinese people are so racist and it shows. I used to respect the Chinese. Now I realize their mindset is like that of American Southerner 50 years ago. Tibet will be free because the spirit of the Tibetan people will never die.

In old Tibet before 1950, 88 percent of Tibeten people were born as slaves. Slaves didn't belong to themselves, they belong to their slave masters who occupied 5% of Tibeten population at that time. Slaves could be sold,bought,abused at the will of their masters!
I admire Lincoln,the greatest former US president because he abolished the slave system in Southern America. Lincoln is always the hero in my heart.
Those Chinese who abolished the slave system in Tibet in 1950s are heros either!
Richard Gere is a lying piece of shit. There's video evidence of dalai lama's followers attacking civilians with knives and looting shops and burning them. And his campaign won't free tibet. He should worry about the misdeeds of American government and worry about his own country's misdeeds rather than others first. Extremely hypocritical.
This is NOT about human rights. This is about geopolitical interests and trying to weaken china by using the dalai lama/tibet. If it were about human rights, why nobody protests against the nepalese police, who are shown in the videos. Why nobody protests against the tibetans, who are burning chinese shops and attacking chinese and other minority citizens in lhasa aggressively????
richard gere is an ACTOR! and CNN puts him on for some serious news analysis, like he's some kind of expert on Tibet. I can't believe what I'm seeing here. CNN has lost all its credibility.
1,why you use Indian police arrest terrorist protest video. where is you claimed china official police force?
2,why there was only XIZANG ( Tibet) terrorist attaching innocent people video all around YOU TUBE.
TIBET IS PART OF CHINA ! ANY TERRORIST ACTIVE WILL BE DESTROYED IN ANY COUNTRY! GERE IF YOU CAN BURN A FLAME IN CAPITAL HILL WITHOUT REST. I WILL FOLLOW YOU IN REST OF MY LIFE.
This has been flagged as spam show
richard gere i love u and what u are standing up for, as for the communist funded comments below, u all can go fuck ur selves, u all are supporting the torture and tyranny that is taking place in tibet right now, be proud that u all are all trying to hide the bloodshed that is so evidently taking place, i pray for your misguided souls..

The Tibetans in exile have put in place a healthy democratic institution in both temporal and spiritual fields. So we are very much prepared.

Listen here richard gere! Just because you hang out with tibet separatist, downloaded a few pages on freetibet websites and shed a tears watching 7 yrs in tibet doesn't make you a tibet scholar. When are people gonna figure out that just because a celebrity gives his/her opinion on a politically charged cause doesn' t make them qualified to do so. I sincerely doubt that this moron can be unbiased in his interpretation of event seeing as how he hangs out with the dalai lama. I so hate his movies.

Actually Mr. Gere has been fighting to free Tibet for at least 25 years. He has been there and kicked out of China because he was standing up for the freedom of Tibet. I'm CERTAIN he knows a hell of a lot more than you ever will. I suppose Ignorance is bliss, from some like yourself, when life is do damn frightening.
Dark13Trinity 1 year ago
Actually I don't think he knows more than I do about tibet because I've read a little ( just a little) about tibet before and after the dalai lama. That's why I'm no longer a fan of freetibet or the dalai lama. Ignorance is bliss and that's why I could never be a bandwagon hopping freetibet fanatic like you. It takes courage to think outside the media these days especially when it come to tibet. But I agree with you...ignorance is bliss. One question though...how do you feel about a theocracy???

For some unknown reason, The current Dalai lama felt threatened by this sect, and banned them, persecuted this branch, and label this sect of Tibetan Buddist believers as Chinese traitor, and evil.

The Chinese government is consisted of a bunch of people who do not hesitate to commit murder their people. When the atomic bombs tests succeeded in Uyghur, scientists jumped for joy. 190,000 Uyghur died by the tests. Moreover, the Yellow River flood was created by the Nationalist Government in central China in 1938. Before Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Yellow River Flood, he did not tell to the people, therefore, the flood waters took an estimated Chinese 500,000 lives. This is the China.

4) China expanded its influence in Tibet after 1720, as a powerful country dealing with a weaker neighbor. It later tried to occupy Tibet by force, violating the Cho-Yon relationship, but with the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, Tibetans expelled the Chinese and the 13th Dalai Lama proclaimed Tibet's complete independence...
arafel1964 3 years ago
•3) The Qing Dynasty (1644-1911): The Manchu rulers of China were Buddhists, and Tibet's Dalai Lamas and the Manchu emperors had a special priest-patron relationship called Cho-Yon whereby China committed to providing protection. Chinese nationalists may see this as sovereignty, but it wasn't. China at various times exercised influence and sent armies into Tibet - but so did Nepal during this time.
arafel1964 3 years ago
2)The Mongols never ruled Tibet as an administrative region of China, Tibet was given special treatment because Tibet's Sakya lamas were the religious teachers of Mongol emperors. By the fall of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, Tibet had again become in charge of its own affairs.

1)13th century: Beijing claims that Tibet became part of China during the Yuan Dynasty.
The Yuan was actually a Mongol empire, with Chenghis Khan and his descendents conquering China and nations around. For China to claim Tibet based on this would be like India claiming Burma since both were part of the British Empire.

These people are citing the mistakes to make it HARDER to move on!
How much do you think the Chinese government can get accomplished if it's swamped with idiots questioning about their media and other idiots asking of Mao's still in charge?

If you insist Tibet has been part of China, how can you explain the fact that Tibet was treated as a quasi-defeated nation after WWII because of her neutral (pro-Japanese) attitude during WWII?

Yuan (Dynasty) territory might have included Tibet, but Yuan was a Mongolian empire, not Chinese one. The same thing can be said about East Turkistan & Inner Mongolia. Ming and Qing Dinasty had only a bare "relation" with these areas. Han Chinese have never "govern" these - Han Chinese were and are "unwelcome" immigrants only. Tibet, East Turkistan, Outer Mongolia declared independence after Xinhai Revolution 1911 (Inner Mongolia 1939), which China has ignored until today.

To Chinese friends:
You say "Western media is biased".
But your government in Beijin has not allowed journalists from other countries to take photos/videos, to interview people, etc., in Lhasa without any restriction since March 16. Chinese officers told (in a high-handed tone) Japanese tourists leaving Lhasa not to say anything about what they saw on March 16.
And - remember that your government shut down the line between mainland China and YouTube the other day.
Think why.

And yeah... humiliating China is totally the way to help China's relationship with the West and keep the old school communists out of power.

The violent, barbaric, superstitious, lazy, stupid, backward, uncivilised spirits of the Tibetan people will never die? Yes, ill-willed people like you and Richard Gere are keeping it alive. Don't pretend that you ever respected the Chinese people, because you don't even bother to do a thorough research that would lead you to an unbiased truth about Tibet. In short, you had been waiting for the collapse of China for years. Rest assured that your life isn't long enough.

Tibet was a feudal society before China came... what are they thinking? The thing that really gets me though is... why was the Chinese government blocking the newscasts of the protests in Tibet? The protesters were throwing stones and violently assaulting not only the police but Chinese citizens, women and children too. No, I'm not Chinese, but this nonsense (capped by that ridiculous and shameful attempt to steal the torch from Jin Jing in France) really leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

China is paranoid that the western media gonna used their newscast out of context so they decided to hide it. But of course, bad idea.

Chinese people are so racist and it shows. I used to respect the Chinese. Now I realize their mindset is like that of American Southerner 50 years ago. Tibet will be free because the spirit of the Tibetan people will never die.

In old Tibet before 1950, 88 percent of Tibeten people were born as slaves. Slaves didn't belong to themselves, they belong to their slave masters who occupied 5% of Tibeten population at that time. Slaves could be sold,bought,abused at the will of their masters!
I admire Lincoln,the greatest former US president because he abolished the slave system in Southern America. Lincoln is always the hero in my heart.
Those Chinese who abolished the slave system in Tibet in 1950s are heros either!

Gere is such a moron. This wasn't planned? I think the Tibetans are smarter than that, and they're playing their limited/pathetic hand pretty well.

Richard Gere is a lying piece of shit. There's video evidence of dalai lama's followers attacking civilians with knives and looting shops and burning them. And his campaign won't free tibet. He should worry about the misdeeds of American government and worry about his own country's misdeeds rather than others first. Extremely hypocritical.

This is NOT about human rights. This is about geopolitical interests and trying to weaken china by using the dalai lama/tibet. If it were about human rights, why nobody protests against the nepalese police, who are shown in the videos. Why nobody protests against the tibetans, who are burning chinese shops and attacking chinese and other minority citizens in lhasa aggressively????

qmassasin, you are right, that agitated statements only put on negative effects. However, "hate China" is also over-reacting. Don't you think?
