Video of the 3-mile, thousands-strong handshake through the streets of London between the Dalai Lama and the Chinese Embassy, for meaningful dialogue. Rough cut.

Yeah, but at least this was a constrcuctive demonstration. Avaaz didn't attack China, instead they tried to bring the opposing sides closer. What happens after that still depends on the intention of China and Dalai Lama. If they can't solve their problems through dialog, then both sides more or less deserve the consequences anyway, I guess...

I was happy to participate in such a positive and peaceful event. There was no sense of anti-china feelings, only a genuine desire to encourage and support the use of peaceful and meaningful dialogue to resolve the issues.

Thanks to everyone at Avaaz, they have given us all the opportunity to come together in peace and harmony to be heard.

Graet idea - thanks to all supporters! Fair talks between the Dalai Lama and the governmental leaders of Peoples Republic of China NOW!

Hello, Shortchm, Fornately, I am staying in Europe and North America for more than 8 years. I know the way you are thinking and acting, but you don't know the true situation in China, do you? I can speak and read english to understand you, you cann't? is it true? Don't always think you are right and you are the god. Another fact is: not all Tibetans believe Dalai, only the yellow cap group does. Learn before you talk.

I was just going to say the same thing...it's very unfortunate. But then again if you try and criticize Israel in any way you are immediately branded as an anti-semite. Just look at what happened to those professors who wrote the book about the Israel lobby.

hey westernmedia what do u mean that we are ignorant ? you chinese are the ignorant one who are all stuffed with chinese propaganda and can't take a slightest criticism.and to tell you the fact that every tibetans belive in H H the dalia . FREE TIBET.

[westernmedia2008]

Because westernors want to surpress China and want to show their humanity through Dala Lama. But most of the free-tibet guys are ignorant on what they are doing? Even don't know what's the population of Tibet? and how many believe Dala Lama. In your mind,all the Tibetans believe Dala.But it is not...
