China alarmed over rising support!? March 26, 2008 10:21 AM

New Delhi, March 26 - Global strategic analyst Stratfor believes that Beijing was disturbed by the sight of Pranab Mukherjee and Condoleezza Rice jointly addressing the Tibet issue in Washington.
Alarm is rising in Beijing that the US, India and other nations including the UK are actively supporting the Dalai Lama in an attempt to force policy changes in China. Protecting its territorial integrity is of utmost concern to China... Beijing is hypersensitive to real or perceived threats, always assuming the worst about outsiders motives, global strategic analyst Stratfor said.
Indias decision to allow the Dalai Lama to seek refuge in northern India in 1959 has perturbed the Chinese government ever since. Beijing believes India could control him more effectively if it wished to and as New Delhi has in the past but is simply choosing not to, it added.
In India though, China plays a unique divide card wooing Congress, while treating the UPA government with thinly veiled contempt. A delegation from the Communist Party of Chinas international cell visited Congress headquarters here to propose a seminar in Beijing at the end of 2008 to commemorate 20 years of Rajiv Gandhis visit to China in 1988. The leader of the delegation, Li Jinjun, also formally proposed that Rahul Gandhi head the Indian delegation. While there was little mention of Manmohan Singhs visit to China, there were glowing references to Sonia Gandhis trip.
Over the weekend, the EU parliament made its first call for a limited boycott of the Olympic Games in Beijing. Its president, Hans-Gert Pottering, told a German daily, If there continue to be no signals of compromise, I consider boycott measures to be justified. The only other European leader to endorse this has been French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner, but this call has received little traction from around the world. Back home, MEAs silence on Chinas arrogant behaviour with Indian diplomats is attributed to Indias traditional diffidence towards the Chinese. This is the second diplomatic aggression by the Chinese towards India in the last few months after China protested against the PMs visit to Arunachal Pradesh in February.
Last time, India stuck to an anodyne statement about Arunachal being an integral part of India. MEA, caught off balance by China yet again, will wait for the foreign minister and the foreign secretary to return from Washington before taking a position..

We all know what self-determination means to the Dalai Llama March 27, 2008 3:42 PM
Dear Senator Feinstein,
Socialism is all about curing the social ill.China wants to cure anything ill about society in a progressive manner as much as anyone.Peaceful protests for an independent utopian democratic socialist state are welcome by such as the U.S. vis a vis Puerto Rico nationalism, Canada vis a vis Quebec nationalism, etc.However the path of violent protests is entirely against Buddhist thought and against Gandhi socialism which illumines the social ill for purpose of reasoned peaceful nonviolent change to end the ill, and the violence has no place and should be condemned by the Dalai Llama and his entourage formerly headed by Heinrich Harar the Nazi Josef Viceroy of Tibet(even today the Dalai Llama is associated associated with known nazi war criminals and is a CIA asset like the Shah of Iran, Hitler's vassal during World War II).Those of his followers who are violent must be suspended from membership in his church and forced to go to a remedial church where they are counseled to the path of nonviolence by his ardent followers.It was revealed on the tele show China Today that Tibet was a brutal and impoverished dictatorship run by a godking with a brutal criminal code of laws and legalized serfdom, economic slavery and even slavery.These social evils were ended by the Chinese overthrow of Tibet, in which brave Chinese soldiers gave their lives so that Tibetans would not suffer tyranny at the hands of this same Dalai Llama, the psychopathic top-dog oppressing everyone else and bell-curving them out of existence, though we are all as Gods only he can live like one, claiming to be "The God".
