It is culture conflit between the east and west, I dont think the western culture can beat chinese culture like they beat Eastern Europe and Middle East, the later has already existed 2000 years.

Tibet is not Western culture and has lasted much longer than the current "Communist" Chinese government, which is not actually Communist, because there is vast economic inequality there.

To some of the comments on this video, I just have to say: Get a grip.

Tibet was always part of China? Sure. That's why it has a separate national name and a separate culture. Get real.

And for people trying to demonize the Dalai Lama, your comments are ridiculous. You are talking about one of the most holy, enlightened people on this planet. I am not a Buddhist and do not even have a specific religion and even I can tell that.

So, please try to stick to reality with your comments.

[astrogirlsirius]

Just as the Dalai Lama is calling for non-violence and cultural understanding among peoples, I ask for nonviolence in the comments here, please. I will delete abusive comments on both sides.

I loved the beijing opening ceremonies. The china games were the most memorable thus far for me and these tibetan religious fanatics should be ashamed of themselves for what they did. Shame on you!

Ask, whether you have prevented any animals from being poisoned. Ask, whether you have at anytime in your life purchased any pirated document in your country. For crying out loud, you don't really have to hate one developing country that much. Do you?

[guyfrommalaysia]

Eidelmania,

Why would you use foul language to defend your point if you are anti-China? You obviously want to destroy my good intention in bringing some peace into this discussion.

Piracy and animal poisoning (sic) happens everywhere in this world, not only in China.

[guyfrommalaysia]

Hi there did you send me a message about nationalistic Chinese just now?

[Eidelmania]

dew neigh ama chue hi ah!

[Eidelmania]

We just want you to stop poisoning our animals and children with your lead and toxin's and stop ripping off our copy rights. In sort we wish you'd have a little apathy for others. What's with the elephant ivory and tiger testicles for crying out loud? I mean how dare Canada declare independence from America, They've been part of our culture for thousands of years, Shame on China for being so nationalistic, and ignorant.

[guyfrommalaysia]

Tibetans, alas.

Don't you have life? Doing all these for fear of low self esteem?

While the world is going on, I'd rather sit back home and learn a few Chinese phrases, than to think about these.

What a mess!
