Dharamsala, April 16 – The Tibetan leader, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has called on the international community, governments around the world and international NGOs to persuade China to “exercise restraint” in dealing with the situation in Tibet’s Ngaba region that has remained tense since Tuesday following confrontation between local population and Chinese troops.

FREE THE TIBETANS FROM CHINESE OCCUPATION!!!!!!!!

The influx of Millions of Han Chinese and the growing restrictions on religious practice have become the biggest threats to Tibet, which faces “something like a death sentence under Chinese rule”.

Encountering sufferings will definitely contribute to the elevation of your spiritual practice, provided you are able to transform calamity and misfortune into the path.

This, however, is not just a question of morality or ethics, but a question of our own survival.

The Dalai Lama

China and India face similar problems as both countries undergo rapid industrialization and urbanization, said Zhang Ping, head of the National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic planner.

The SED, which is partly aimed at boosting mutual trust, will enhance cooperation between China and India in various fields and help the two countries find solutions to common problems, Zhang said.

This will help promote the long-term economic development of the two economies and will have a profound impact on people in China and India, Zhang said.

Closer cooperation will not only benefit the two countries, but also help improve the power and confidence of all developing countries, he said.

The healthy development of the Chinese and Indian economies will exert a positive influence on the growth and recovery of not only Asia, but also the rest of the world, Zhang added.

Montek Singh Ahluwalia, deputy chairman of the Planning Commission of India, said the strategic dialogue reflects enhanced economic engagement between the two countries

"As we try to take our relationship to a new level, a further opening of markets and improvement of investment climate are challenges that we need to address together," Ahluwalia said.

He said the growing India-China relationship is an important element of changes that are taking place in the global order.

"As emerging economies, we are making our viewpoint increasingly felt on important global issues," Ahluwalia said.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh agreed to establish a regular bilateral strategic economic dialogue mechanism during Wen's visit to India last December.

@lycopene1 When my grandfather was in Tibet in the 1940s for missionary work, Tibet was already a part of China while the CCP did not enter Tibet then. My grandfather saw there were slaves under the Dalai Lama's brutal serfdom back then, and he saw thousands of Tibetan slaves had been killed by the Dalai Lama. That's a FACT that there were slaves under the Dalai Lama and Tibet is part of China. That's what my grandfather told me.
