Palin visits the Potala Palace, once home to the Dalai Lama, and discovers the majesty of a building that was once the tallest in the world. Fascinating viewing from the BBC.

  • Give this palace to the one it belongs.

    This is and must be back the Dalai Lama's home

  • Tibet is gone! Ruined by Chinese. Oh yes fragments of Tibetan culture will linger and some Tibetan people will hang on for awhile but in the end Chinese, through deception, lies, force, any means necessary have taken Tibet, it's lumber, water, uranium, even take credit for their beautiful culture and history. It's one of the greatest tragedies in the history of humanity and it continues today. People always look away until it's happening to them personally.

  • @everlastingbio exactly, 50/50 for you then.

  • @Buddhistboy97 you mother-fucker lier. I'm Tibetan too, but I'm also Chinese

  • I'm Tibetan and I am angry because I feel like china stole Tibet, it's really the government fault. Now most of family members who are in Tibet are in prison getting beaten by Chinese soldiers! It just makes me sick!

    The 1 million figure has not been disproven, but it has also not been proven. Even if it is proven, the cause of death for the victims may vary from case to case, not all of which can be blamed on China's actions. Until the Chinese archives are opened (and they exist) like what happened with the USSR's archives, we will never know for sure. So I would take these figures with a large grain of salt.

  • @Bournetolive wow! you call kiling 1 millions Tibetans a project...?

  • Chinese should be ashamed, hopefully, history will re-dress the balance. hopefully.

  • @iamlumin Tibet will never be gone dear.

  • I was so hoping to get to Lhasa during my last trip to China, but it's still so hard for the single, unaccompanied visitor to travel there.

  • @kettlepuss

    China will not let Tibet go - if Russia has the will to fight to keep tiny Chechnya, and India will do the same to keep its part of Kashmir, then China will not let any of its territory go. If we do, we would disgrace Huangdi, who shed so much blood in order to bequeath the Yellow River valley to his descendants and give them the opportunity to develop a powerful and respected culture.

  • @iamlumin

    Of course it doesn't - US did all its killing and genociding when there was no international human rights movement. Unfortunately, China didn't have the luck of doing that then - it has to do it now, and human rights activists have fell upon this opportunity to demonize a country and its people like vultures on a rotting carcass. This won't change no matter how kindly China treats Tibetans, so no matter how loud you talk, we won't give a damn.
