All China can do, is enter into an open debate, through press and through open internet. Blocking websites, not allowing press or people to talk to outside world, does not look fishy but dangerous too.
Let the people of China shout and say, that whatever is said by Western world is false. Similarly let them (Chinese) know, what stand , the people outside have. What do they think, and why they think so, and thus let them decide on there own.
A representative ( Chinese authority) in between are always dangerous, as this always leads to corruption. Authority must be in the hands of people, at least in the matters of free speech.
I never see, the conflicts are at all among the people of the world. But the conflicts exist between the dominants that take over the nations. In case of China it seems the dominants never want the outsiders to talk to their slaves. As this would open there secret, on how they make people to live under there rule.
Thanks.

Laurel is correct. Why do we have to ‘lose’ Tibet and it’s culture to become part of China? I can’t understand why the media, as biased or unbiased as it is, isn’t allowed to report on what is actually going on! Human Rights have suffered greatly.

Yes China wins because the world allowed China to invade Tibet, a sovereign nation. The governments of the world are so dependent on cheap products from China that they do nothing when China attacks neighboring countries.
It is sad that Chinese people consider this a “win”.
Losing Tibet to China is a great loss for the world even if it is a “win” for China.
Also it is the Chinese controlling the press releases to the world and not the Tibetans.

[...] lets look at a Chinese perspective, Carl Pei gives some good insight (h/t to HHR) as to why many in China feel the way they do: Western coverage (CNN, Fox, BBC, …) [...]

More specifically, this:

The decade-long covert program to support the Tibetan independence movement was part of the C.I.A.’s worldwide effort to undermine Communist governments, particularly in the Soviet Union and China.

@Carl: Good post. I agree completely that the best thing the Chinese government can do is allow open and free access to all media. By shutting it down it just makes them look like they’ve something to hide. All mainstream media has an agenda (Chinese/Western, there’s no difference) and I think it’s a tragedy that we live in an age where we can’t trust our reporters for an unbiased story.

@TheAnand: The Dalai Lama is no longer supported by the CIA. He was in the 60s and early 70s when anti-communism was at its hight in the US. The US was looking for a way they could drive a wedge into communist China. As the “red threat” has since died, so has any support he may at one time have received. Regardless, he shouldn’t be judged to harshly, as they would technically have been taken by his ‘government in exile’ and distributed to train insurgency forces – it was, after all, the position of the Tibetan leadership (then, as now) that they were invaded by the PLA and that they needed to fight back.

I always thought china was evil . But jokes apart, Dalai Lama and CIA? WTF is that connection? Taking too much space is another matter, but I would have appreciated your guts if you had linked to the exact evidence on the same matter.
