Have you talked with BAPA PHUNTSOG WANGYEL in Beijing? Perhaps this might be productive.

Unfortunately all I seem to hear online is the same old Communist rhetoric BS from Chinese people who know nothing about the realities that surround Tibet and the Tibetan people. So I applaude Proffesor Boshu!! I hope that you are able to reach out to many Chinese people within China and beyond.

We didn't invite anybody to come liberate us. My father told me that in fifties Chinese were telling Tibetans that they came to liberate Tibetans. Tibetans were confused and thought that the Americans were coming to invade tibet. Now you liberated us from whoever you thought you were liberating us from. Please leave and yes thank you for liberating us. Now we feel very liberated and don't need any more liberation. let us live they way we want to live. We didn’t invite anybody to come liberate us.

this is only one example of this extremely biased account of historical facts. as a scholar how could he talk about history without seeing things in historical perspectives?

many of the horrors he cited in the article were in fact very much taking place nationwide, not merely in Tibet, during a series of historical events. the reflections on and rehabilitations of this history have largely contributed to a politically relaxed China we see today. the very fact that Mr. Zhang has well established within the system, widely read on Internet and well connected to the international champion for Tibet and democracy should not be a small proof how tolerant the Chinese society has become.

Of course China has a long way to go to improve its human rights record, but would denouncing and eradicating Chinese revolution and its entire establishment since 1949 be a solution to Tibet issue?

The article can be summarized in one sentence. “In fact, history has already shown that China’s 20th century communist revolution was a mistake.”

It is an ideology based article. The rest of the arguments I can derive in my sleep.
