Inside Story - Tibet's struggle for autonomy - March 10 - Part 1

Tibets spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, has publicly condemned China on the 50th anniversary of the Tibetan uprising. But what exactly is the Tibetan cause and is the momentum still there, in a generation removed from the original struggle?

The deteriorating situation in Tibet comes as international human rights organizations are denouncing the Chinese government's widespread crackdown against anyone who criticizes its policies. The global community overwhelmingly supports the calls for freedom by Tibetans, Chinese democracy advocates, and all those living under Beijing's authoritarian rule.

Major Chinese media outlets have planned 60th Anniversary historical retros.

The Great Starvation, which claimed 36,000,000 lives, and the crushing of democracy moves within the party, both resulted from the political madness of the Lushan Conference. Neither the Starvation nor Lushan are mentioned once.

In a moment of high spectacle, we have struck a new low. Side-stepping of major episodes in China's history does significant damage to the credibility of China's media.

FREE China and Tibet

Chinese man on the panel repeats the mantras of chinese propaganda.

The dalai lama's middle way approach for tibet issue is endorsed repeatedly by the tibetan people in referendums with more than 80% support. clearly there is no dual stand from the tibetan side.

In 13th century both china and tibet were under Genghis Khan's empire. But later both nations became independent. Down the history China occupied Khan's land and Tibet too in 1949 and now justify the claim. Lies.

Tibet is 1/3 of China.

@HumanRightsVideosT first I have to ask you that there is a major problem with dalais middle path when he is asking for the removal of millions of people from greater tibet?

[eastern2western]

@HumanRightsVideosT look I do not live in tibet which disqualifies me from making judgments about the economic developments. but I have huge problem with those so call tibetant activists because most of them have never even stepped foot in tibet and can not accept different groups of people living in tibet. yes it is true many have moved into tibet but they also have contributed to the economy in the last 60 yrs and asking them to leave is wrong
