The Dalai Lama affirms diplomacy with Beijing is the only way for Tibet

The Tibetan exile movement must press forward with its talks with the Chinese government despite almost no progress from years of negotiations, the Dalai Lama said.

The exiled spiritual leader warned that it could be decades before any benefits of such talks with China are obvious.

He said Tibetans were prepared to keep waiting for an improvement in their relationship with Beijing.

"Now we must find solution through dialogue, in the spirit of reconciliation. That's the only way."

(Reporter: But your dialogue is failing. It's not working with Beijing.)

"So including our own case also there must be spirit of reconciliation and through dialogue. So that I already mentioned to you. So far dialogue failed, but that does not mean in future no possibility, I don't think. See, we wait now 51 years. Now another 10, 20 years we can wait."

"Now whole world knows we are not seeking independence, but then it is Chinese officials who always repeat, we are splittist (laughing). So these are the causes of frustration. But that frustration does not mean we completely lost our hope."

The Dalai Lama said he hopes discussion will bring some form of autonomy for Tibet within China that would allow the Tibetan culture to thrive.

But Beijing frequently accuses the Nobel Peace laureate of seeking independence for Tibet despite an increasing sympathy for his cause among Chinese intellectuals.

Its like the move the matrix, too many people are taking the "red pill" and eating flavourless steak," thats the american society.

americans still believe their government is god believing and serving them when its just the opposite, for example, HOW MANY CONSPIRACIES CAN EVEN BE FOUND ON THE MEDIA'S SURFACE? while not all of them are nessasarily true but how many more lies hidden?

@PeakOilCountdown great name, at least you know the political games of "OIL"

iraq, iran, african horn(sudan, nigeria),antarctica,isreal are the main examples

[Mystery0Warrior]

"Free Tibet" is a just one of the games that usa is currently engaging china in

there are also "Battle for Darfur's oil" named "Save Darfur" and "Falungong" with human rights activists straightly recruited out of CIA is not deceptively planned enough much to USA's shadow government's dismay.
