Dalai coterie's secessionist attempts doomed to fail

(Xinhua) Updated: 2008-03-17 06:43

LHASA - Memories of horror were alive again. Rioting that erupted in Lhasa on Friday resembled two previous riots in 1959 and 1989, only in its cruelty and always indisputable links to peace-preaching Dalai Lama.

On March 10th, more than 300 monks from the Zhaibung Monastery ventured into downtown Lhasa. The monks, who were supposedly converted to peace, were invective and aggressive, and flagrantly confronted with the security forces.

In the Sera Monastery, ten monks held up flags of the so-called Tibetan exile government and shouted "Tibetan independence". In the ensuing days, a few monks chanted independence slogans and challenged officers who were maintaining order. Lime and boiling water were poured over those around them, and stones rained down.
In blatant attempts to create sensation, three monks in the Zhaibung monastery lacerated their bodies with knives and took pictures of one another, photos that were to be used to blame others for the harm they inflicted upon themselves, police said.

Affrays turned violent, and losses were grave. The mob on Friday set off a destruction rampage and spared nothing and nobody along their way. Rioters set fire to buildings, torched dozens of police cars and private vehicles and looted banks, schools and shops. Innocent civilians were stabbed, stoned and scourged. At least 10 died, mostly from burns.

In the shocking degree of cruelty which local Tibetans said they had not seen in their whole lives, "brutal" was an understatement of the true picture, but the word was only reserved for the mob, and not for the policemen.

Throughout the incident, Lhasa police officers exercised great restraint. They remained patient, professional and were instructed not to use force. In humanitarian spirit, they even rescued the malicious monks who attempted sensation through hurting themselves. But such restraint was met with even more malice.

Young officers -- fathers, husbands and brothers -- were stoned, lunged, stabbed and clubbed, like any other innocent victim. Twelve of them were badly injured, two of them critical.

Such hostility was not "non-violence" as Dalai preached, but what the "revered" monk practiced. Religious leaders, local Tibetans and other residents stood out and condemned the riot.

It is obvious that the latest well-planned sabotage in Lhasa was another bloody exercise of Dalai clique's political conspiracy.

America is behind the whole thing

As we speak, Pelosi and her gang of thugs are setting out for Dharamsala to coordinate with the despicable splittist (scheduled to arrive on March 20).

Western Reporting on this is So Biased!!

Go look at the NPR website - when they "reported" the incident, they allowed ONLY the various pro-splittists to speak on open air, and unlike other programs they ran, they did not allow call ins.

On the CD site, anybody can write and everybody does. That's why the viewpoints are a lot more balanced.

I feel very sorry for China

to be attacked in her own country by American and Western paid thugs.

Attacks on Chinese stores and buildings, the poor girl beaten in the red dress.

Instigated attacks on Chinese on their own soil, in the motherland.

As we all know, terrorism is a terrible thing, but when it comes close to you, you see how terrible.

I hope and trust the Chinese Security forces and the Chinese anti-terrorism forces deal with these attacks quickly.

I further hope the WEST, led by the USA, stop instigating attacks on innocent Chinese in their own land.

end

Peaceful defined

By watching those demonstrators overturning cars, beating up the girl, smashing shops, wielding axes, kicking in shop doors, and burning houses, I now understand what his "holiness", the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the eternally wise and shining, the Da-Lai-LLa-MMa means by his perception of peaceful. Here is a clue to understanding the mystic chanting & uttering of this holy monk: he means exactly the opposite of what he says. This by the way is also true of the Western media (BBC included), which reported that the demonstration was PEACEFUL!

That's right.

Buddhism is a milder faith compared to monotheistm. But this DL action only tarnish Buddhism image.

He's only "a politician with Buddhist robe and Italian shoes", skilfully use religion to exert his political goal.

""""" People around the world are aware of both sides of the argument, unlike readers here. """""

Sade news for your ec.

It was reported on CNN "INSIDE CHINA" yesterday.....the whole thing.

They were, for once, reasonably fair in their reporting.

"""" Yes, the rest of the world is concerned about the attacks on innocent Tbtans in their own land. """"

I take it they are not concerned with the attacks on innocent Hans?

It is part of China ec.

If you want to change that, you could always leave Australia and hand them back "their own" land.

Don't be so single minded.

NW,

I agree with you. Buddhism is a peaceful religion (or philosophy?) and I have always respected Buddhism how I know it from China, Thailand, Vietnam and Japan. The DL is a bad example and has tarnished the image of his religion in Non Western countries by his recent actions. Over here people don't see him as somebody special.

Back in the Vietnam War, the US encouraged the Hmong and Montagnard peoples to fight against the Communists with God-knows what inducement. When the US lost the war these people were quickly dumped into the garbage bin of history.

During the Iraq War, the Kurds were again urged by the US to rise up against Sadam Hussein, promising American support, blah, blah, blah, ... And again the Kurds were stabbed in the back when they were no longer politically useful.

And now the Tibetans are falling for the same American bulldust. Haven't the world learned that the US don't keep promises? Haven't they heard the old Native American saying "White men speak with forked tongues?" So sad.

So it seems, at least when I read the press from Western Europe or watch BBC. Murdering Han people wasn't even mentioned in many reports. That's the free press from the West. Really disgusting.

Hello and welcome, juicy.

I will have to partly agree with my good friend, Mengzhi. You cannot judge an entire nation, by the bad behaviour of one or two of its people.

While there may we ...

I know what you mean, and I agree.
But you have not forgot to attack in your example.

For them, it's only the rioters that matter. Really sick.

It's no matter. China is merely an old-style territorial empire like Austria-Hungary, the Ottomans or Czarist Russia. It will, with time, follow them.

A funny statement.

The most hot topic nowadays is about how a modern imperialist stage an illegal war against another sovereign nation. Yet their citizens still their nation is justified to do any unilateral military action.

Hmm, wishful thinking, nothing else, I guess. China is not the Soviet Union. The West is still learning about it.
