The True Face Of The Dalai Lama

[Part.12]
Mao Tsetung taught that a true revolution must rely on the masses­on the needs, wishes, and

actions of the oppressed people themselves. Maoism calls this principle the Mass Line. Mao said:
"It often happens that objectively the masses need a certain change, but subjectively they are
not yet conscious of the need, not yet willing or determined to make the change. In such cases,
we should wait patiently. We should not make the change until, through our work, most of the
masses have become conscious of the need and are willing and determined to carry it out.
Otherwise we shall isolate ourselves from the masses. Unless they are conscious and willing, any
kind of work that requires their participation will turn out to be a mere formality and will fail."
In October 1950 the People's Liberation Army (PLA) advanced into the grasslands and mountains of
southwest China. At Chamdo, they easily defeated an army sent against them by the Tibetan ruling
class - and then they stopped. They sent a message to the Tibetan capital, Lhasa.
China's new revolutionary government offered Tibet's rulers a deal: Tibet would be reattached to
the Chinese republic, but for the time being the regime of Tibetan serf-owners (called the
Kashag) could continue to rule as a local government, operating under the leadership of the
Central People's government. The Maoists would not abolish feudal practices, or challenge the
Lamaist religion until the people themselves supported such changes. The People's Liberation
Army would safeguard China's borders from imperialist intervention, and foreign agents would be
expelled from Lhasa. About half of the Tibetan population lived in regions of Tsinghai and
Chamdo that were not under the political rule of the Kashag. These regions were not covered by
the proposal.
The Tibetan serf-owners signed this special "17-point agreement" and on October 26, 1951, the
People's Liberation Army peacefully marched into Lhasa.
Both sides knew that struggle would eventually break out. How long could the aristocrats and
monasteries continue to enslave "their" serfs­when everyone could now see Han peasants who had
liberated themselves from similar conditions using guns and Maoism?
The most powerful serf-owning families started to plan an armed uprising. The Dalai Lama's
brother traveled abroad to cement ties with the CIA, to get arms and request political
recognition. Monasteries organized secret conferences and spread wild rumors among the masses:
like saying Han revolutionaries fueled their trucks with the blood of stolen Tibetan children.
Long mule-trains of U.S. arms started winding their way from India to key Tibetan monasteries.
The CIA set up combat training centers for its Tibetan agents, eventually based in the high
altitude of Camp Hale, Colorado. CIA planes dropped weapons into Tibet's eastern Kham region.

Why don't you take a trip to Tibet and find out what really happened. Believe it or not Slick your government does lie to you. Do you remember the Gulf of Tonkin and the WMDs in Iraq etc etc? Slick your government also lied to you about the Dalai Lama.

More tan a million serfs have been liberated they say! Interesting how up to this point in the video they did not mention how many Tibetan's were killed, how over 6 thousand monasteries have been destroyed..... The fact that they made celibate monks have sex and had kids kill their parents.... And so much more... Yes it was bad in Tibet. There is a lot of truth in these videos but so many important details have been left out. Afterall this was done by CCTV - Chinese news.

I think the whole asians nations from korea,china,burma,laos,vietnam­,thailand,malaysia,singapore need to united as one nation, one currency, that mean this piece of land will be lot better proper and it's people will be be more happy. This century is century of united for prosper as long as the country respect every one equal right, protect the peace, help it citizens, no stealing, no murder, then life will be better, for me that mean more oppotunities to make money to improve life.
