"you have made accusations that I have proven were unfounded and inaccurate"

Give one example.

Discussion with you always follows the same pattern: (1) you make an unsubstantiated assertion, (2) I challenge you and provide evidence/references in support of my challenge and (3) you simply restate the same unmodified assertion. There is never any development of your arguments and for that reason I find you very tiresome.

Let me try once more. Do you have any idea of how many countries the US invaded and destablised since 1945? Or how many people have been killed as a result of those interventions? What are your views on its record in this regard?

I haven't removed any of your posts.

Don't you get tired of repeating the same old lies?

Tibet was not "invaded" by the PRC in 1959, because by then the Tibetan region had been part of China for seven centuries. One does not "invade" what is already one's own territory. "Invasion" has no meaning for a country exercising sovereignty over its own land.

These facts are accepted by the entire international community. The only people who dispute them are the reactionary theocrats huddled in Dharamsala and their 'useful idiots' in the west (that's you).

Your view of Tibet and Tibetan-Chinese people is deeply patronising. Dissilusioned westerners seem to imagine Tibet to be some kind of mythical utopia. You are just about as out of touch with ordinary Tibetan-Chinese as it is possible to be. It may not matter to you, but it matters to them that they are richer, healthier and better educated then any previous generation.

It's very revealing that you never quote any Tibetan-Chinese in support of your position. To you they are voiceless grinning natives who require your beneficence. And your reference to the "encroaching Han immigrants" is akin to the invocation of the "Yellow peril" by the self styled 'Free-Tibet' movement. It reveals your paranoia and racism towards the PRC and the Chinese people.

You views are despicable.

FREE ALL Oppressed people under Ruthless Barbaric Chinese Government

The CIA paid the Dalai Lama to do its bidding. I'd say that makes him a lackie.

The Dalai clique handle tens of millions of dollars a year. There are numerous stories of endemic corruption in the use of these funds. The Dalai Lama himself is remarkably nepotistic, using these funds to provide favours to his extended family. He is nothing but a corrupt gangster.

The CIA backed the Shah of Iran and it backed the Dalai Lama. No one who is serious diputes either of those facts. But perhaps you do?

I am not aware of any evidence that the CIA is backing the reform movement in Iran. Are you?

@sohei75

You are becoming very boring. I have dealt with this already as you know. Or perhaps you don't even read what others say to you?

My view - that Palestine is subject to illegal occupation and that Tibet is part of the PRC - is consistent with international opinion as represented by all major international institutions including the UN. If I'm a hypocrite then so are the 192 (or thereabouts) countries that make up the UN. If you believe that you are right and the rest of the world are wrong, you would need to have a very compelling argument.

Your claim that if the composition of the UN was different it would take a different view is pathetic. The UN, especialy the General Assembly, represents the views of the member nations as they are, not as you or anyone else would like them to be.

Now if you can move this argument on by contributing something new, please do. If you can only restate the same trite nonsense again, please don't bother.

The so-called 'Free Tibet' movement routinely uses deeply racist arguments against the Chinese people. In Britain this includes the use of racist cartoons that depict Chinese people as looking menacing and of having "slitty eyes" and "buck teeth." The similartity of this type of propaganda to that used by the Nazis in the 1930s to dehumanise Jewish people is unmistakable.

I saw these connections echoed in you and your arguments and your choice of friends. You support the "Free Tibet" campaign and you accept friend invitations from Nazi sympathisers. Circumstantial? Perhaps. But you make your own choices and when you enter into public debate you should expect to be challenged on them.
