Senior Chinese Leaders Taunt Tibetan Leader

After talks broke down between Beijing and representatives of the , Chinese officials have already begun talking about the septuagenarian religious leader’s passing. From The Globe and Mail:

The 73-year-old Tibetan leader, who has suffered a bout of ill health and hospital treatment in recent months, has already given up most of his political duties. Now he faces taunting from Chinese officials, who yesterday spoke openly of his “poor health” and his “passing away.”

The , hugely popular in the West and in the exiled Tibetan community, has been the nemesis of the Chinese government for decades. Beijing accused him yesterday of planning “apartheid and ethnic cleansing” in his Tibetan homeland.

In a report later, China’s state news agency said the government is looking to the “post- era.” It quoted an official who made repeated references to the advanced age and “poor health condition” of the Tibetan leader.

The remarks are certain to deepen the gulf between Beijing and the Tibetan exiles, who are planning a major summit from Nov. 17 to 22 to decide on a new strategy in the aftermath of the failure of the latest talks between the two sides.

  • This is their miscalculation. CCP can never sinicized Tibetan. if they really want the harmonious society, ethnic relation, open their arm other wise it will be night mare for the communist official. Today many chinese regular citizens, Buddhist, lawyers, scholars and students are coming out open to support Dalai lama’s middle way approach which is not seeking independence but a cultural autonomy to preserve religion and cultural heritage.if these official continue to supress Tibetan, they will be responsible for the spillitist activities. save Tibet and save china from this communist regime.

  • Did the British Empire, during the time of it’s colonization period of India, have the stupidity to personally and politically attack Ghandi?
    Either way, it’s truly disgusting how history repeats itself sometimes. Wake up China!

  • Well, if you look at it positively:

    Zhu Weiqun has outed the CCP publicly, and that is in particular to the US and the EU who had supported a meaningful dialogue, for having no intention at all to compromise on anything.
    Thanks for that!

    So, a stalled dialogue behind closed doors has been pulled out of the closet and exposed publicly.
    Great!

    In fact, now the talks can begin in seriousness!

  • The Dalai Lama is a traitor to the motherland when he conspired with the American CIA to overthrow the government in Operation Picdadilly Circus where thousand of Tibetan seperatists were trained in Camp Hale in Colorado.

    Maoists counterattacked the air drop of these Tibetan terrorists and freed the vast number of slaves and serfs that were controlled by the Dalai Lama and a few of their Tibetan lords.

  • Oops, the CIA operation to train Tibetan terrorists was named “ST Circus”. My mistake.

  • HH the Dalai Lama’s motherland is a land where mother’s only speak in the Tibetan language, and call their land the Fatherland. A land that is the Tibetan Plateau.
    You say “thousands of Tibetan seperatists”….first of all I have not heard their was nearly that many and even so, i dont think a thousand could invade any country let alone China. And second of all Tibetans, or any other person who is educated about the matter, refer to them as guardians of their fatherland!
    Zephon, the only slave in this situation is YOU. A blind slave to ignorance!
