Western nations got careless about the Tibetan situation
I’m very glad with my guide, since he can tell me so much more inside information. I discover that Tibetan pay more tax than Chinese. Furthermore they cannot get a passport untill they reach the age of 40 years.
The Dalai Lama and the Panche Lamas have political influence and are democratically chosen by the people. Of course, a nightmare for the Chinese government. That’s why the policy is now pushed in the direction of gaining power over the lamas.
How?
-
The Dalai Lama flew to India after the Chinese plan to kidnap him.
-
The Chinese will infiltrate in the next election of the Dalai Lama. They will vote for a “Chinese” candidate who will back the Chinese government.
-
The number of monks and lamas are strictly controlled to weaken their power in society.
And then the question arises why the western countries really don’t care about what’s happening here. Probably China got too powerfull and economically reasons are prevailing. It’s terrible and not much will change in the future. Let’s hope China will collapse before the Dalai Lama dies. It would be better for wild life as well, despite being a totally different story.
“The road to hate China”
I know it is wrong, but I think China is still not the place to be. I don’t like it and will never come back here.
