Aijaz Ahmad describes the Cultural Revolution as a base for the prosperity in China now. This shows how myopic and demented this anachronistic old coot is. No mention of the millions that died during the revolution and the problems facing China today. You must appreciate aspects of Chinese growth but to not recognize the suffering of the past or the problems today, including rampant, fostered and dangerous nationalistic xenophobia. As an Indian this is also treacherous. He's prob. a naxalite to.
Tibetan Gov. in Exile is the legitimate representative body of the Tibetan people, holding democratic elections with universal suffrage. The ICJ has investigated Tibet on 2 occasions. 1st in '50s;finding genocide taking place and that Tibet was an independent state. In 1997 these findings were reinforced by another investigation chaired by Australian High Court Judge Justice Kirby. HHDL has already moved to a position of moderation, people like Aijaz are unrealistic in their demands on TIbetans
In fact any tourist who had gone to China should understand that minority tribes enjoy more benefits than the chinese themselves and china one-child policies do not apply to them.. extinction of tribes are what Chinese government is afraid of, China is konwn as the most culturally interesting places where long history is preserved.
The Chines have behaved like pigs in Tibet since the 1950s - cultural revolution anyone? - with documented killings and torturings. The Chinese people have been brainwashed by their government for decades. If the Chinese had been treated by a foreign power like the Tibetans have they'd be fighting back as well.
The other 15% are Chinese police trying to simple defend themselfs!, they are not killing no one, the Western media are all united to make China look bad, The Real News, how about that?, please tell more the true :0 becuase it will be really late, and in that region what we neeed is more peace! not war, and we can not mess with China. Dalai Lama should shut up! before some one gets mad and kills him. Tibet will never be independent from China, stop dreaming Dalai Lama.
This is for The Real News.. Dalai Lama, that person is evil, and only wants affairs for them self, those monks are the cause off all this conflicts, and are payed by U.S goverment officials in Nepal, to make China look bad, before the Olympics comes, this is just a political weapond that the U.S govemrnet has made, simple as that. All those footage showing Tibetans beign "killed" and "beating", are just fake! i can say 85% of the police are not even Chinese they are from Nepal
DUMBFREE is just another cr agent trying to make sure everyone is in line with the Chinese PLA/CRP thinking by spamming, flaming, unjust rating, censoring and spreading propaganda from a 30.000 online CRP army
Aijaz Ahmad, is a dumb ass sitting in jihadi land pakistan and trying to comment on tibet, this ass has no clue about the ground situation, he calls dalai lama a "god king" , this shows he is a typical islamic moron. if real news is serious about journalism they should get decent analyst. at this rate this news channel is going no further than youtube.
It would be easier to take your critique seriously if you avoid implying that Muslims and Pakistanis are typically morons. Furthermore, you assume that an Arabic man is Muslim. Racial bias has killed your credibility.
As the Dali Lama is (according to Buddhist ideology) Buddha reincarnate and the head of Tibet's government in exile, "god king" isn't too far off.
if you know a little bit of buddhism you will know that buddha is not god and tenzhin gyatso is supposedly a reincarnation of thubten gyatso and not the buddha, they are teachers. islam is not a race, it is a cult, i find the ideology moronic and people following the ideology equally so. nowhere do i mention "pakistani moron" or "arabic moron", i say "islamic moron".

Dissent has been on the verge of bubbling over in Tibet for the last 50 years. The Tibetans are witnessing the slow disintegration of their culture, and you have the nerve to blame the unrest on the CIA?
Next time you're in Lhasa, ask a few Tibetans how they feel about the influx of Chinese culture. Ask them about hope, and whether it's being carried on the wings of Chinese rule, or shredded in its claws. Ask them who the Panchen lama is!
The current Panchen lama was inserted by the government of China in place of the choice previously made by the Dalai Lama. I was simply trying to make the point that most Tibetans don't recognize the Chinese implant as the true Panchen lama, and resent the atheist Chinese government for attempting to intercede with their religious tradition
Well, I support atheism (or should I say anti-religionism), sorry. This reincarnation crap is just that = crap. EVIDENCE?
Is what you say the root cause of Tibet's unrest? In that case, FUCK TIBET. If there's more to it, let me know. I will listen.
Don't talk to me about "human rights abuses", because that happens in EVERY country in the world. Tibet is no exception. I don't condone it, mind you. But nearly EVERY country in the world involves some sort of colonialism, if you look into it.
Just look at Kosovo, for instance. The western world applauds the new Kosovo state. But Serbs are thinking "WTF happened? Albanian muslim migrants just took over a huge chunk of our country?"
CIA hasd been heavily involved in Tibet during the Cold War. Don't be naive and think the Cold War doesn't continue today. For chrissakes.
I'm not sure why the fact that human rights abuses happen in every country makes protesting the atrocities in Tibet, or anywhere else, a bad thing.
The incident with the Panchen Lama involves the disappearance of the child who was the original, and replacing him with another chosen by the Chinese. Your beliefs are irrelevant.
And I just love your comment about the cold war. It's completely asinine. Just in case anyone was taking you seriously, Stumblefuck.
I think China still owes us for all that opium. They been holding out.
In any case the cheap goods and services are a result of the Chinese government approach to life. China and India are screwing over their own people with neo-liberalism and old-fashioned fascism. Whitey is just a collaborator.
And thank you, my genitals are quite manly, and done over in the Jewish fashion.
Have you ever thought of medication by the way? I don't think the talking cure would work for you.
My last post was a response to freedumbed. It makes sense in that context.
One should really ignore such pathetic monstrosities as this strange, unhappy little man, but I felt like giving some response to his sociopathic gibberish. I was just kidding around. It's one way of responding to the annoying but meaningless presence of this sick fool.
FUCK the Chinese government. They're all monsters. I think the Dalai Lama has been put into a very bad position and is doing the best he can to stop the violence. The Chinese? They're exploiting his bad position and, as usual, trying to paint him as some kind of criminal. Coming from a criminal regime.
I'll try to pay my share, but I work a minimum wage job, so 200 trillion might take me a few thousand years to pay back. Oh yeah, and Free tibet, don't buy chinese products like little white me.
I don't believe the Dali Lama (did I butcher the spelling?) is a God of any sort. But I do recognize his ingenuity in leading a religious sect. And I believe it is an embarrassment for the Chinese to act in the way they've acted.
I do not know why Aijaz Ahmad thinks the Dalai Lama is born god king, that is not at all what the Dalai Lama is. He is simply a Buddhist monk and a teacher, who happens to share the role of head of state.
Funny you never hear the right-wing in this country questioning the cozy relationship we have with a Communist dictatorship. Want to end repression in Tibet? Quit buying Chinese made junk. Better yet, place an embargo on all Chinese made goods, services & agricultural products. Shut off Chinese investment in US. Of course, this will never happen. We American are just too greedy & too addicted to WalMart.
China would just laugh. They are an economic superpower, and we owe them about a gazillion dollars. They could sink our economy in five minutes. It would hurt them too, but they won't ever back down on Tibet. They want the resources and they are deadly afraid of setting a precedent for nationalis movements, of which there are several in China.
And I think they enjoy oppressing people, frankly.
We don't owe China as much as you might think. China has serious problems internally & they're going to have to loosen up if they want to survive. Their leaders are worried right now about violence during the Olympics caused by Chinese citizens due to the rampant inflation & uneven levels of prosperity between the rural areas, farmers laborers, & the cities, professionals, elite, etc. Plus, they're destroying their environment & desertification is expanding rapidly.
Point I was trying to make was that we would have NEVER considered trading with Russia like we do with China. All you ever hear from right-wingers is how the dems are like commies/socialists/etc but, when their beloved pres Bush gives China preferred trade status, not even a whimper? It's all about slave labor for US corporations. As soon as the Chinese start demanding better pay/working conditions, they'll move somewhere else. Example: Mexico.
freedumbed; witness the effects of lead poisoning. possibly a chinese laborer painting toys intended for export to the US? Proof positive that OSHA standards need to be implemented & enforced in China.
For real dude, learn to string together a coherent thought before spewing your shit all over the internet. I don't know how anyone could take you seriously at this point.
aijaz ahnad is a hardcore marxist,obviously he supports china.he is a editor in indian magazine frontline in which he himself aid that he is a marxist and always wrote pro chinese articles in it,try to read the magazine if you want proof
1) Calling the Dalai Lama a "God King" is offensive. It isn't the religious meaning of his office, and sounds like a character in a Kipling story.
2) The Dalai Lama has stated that he has always wanted to change Tibet from a theocracy to a secular, democratic state (still with a Dalai Lama and the vital Buddhist culture, but with no political power.) But his job now is to preserve Tibetan culture and come to a peaceful accommodation with China.
i fucking love you guys. this is like revolutionary press. you look at corporate news and they're talking about paris and britney. or Hillary and Barack..no difference.
