<description><![CDATA[As a British Citizen I was disappointed to read of the Foreign Secretary’s Ministerial Statement iss]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>As a British Citizen I was disappointed to read of the Foreign Secretary’s <a href="http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/news/latest-news/?view=PressS&#38;id=8299838">Ministerial Statement</a> issued on 29<sup>th</sup> October 2008 that recognised Tibet as part of the People’s Republic of China.  This has practically made impossible any negotiations with China on the Autonomy of Tibet as any incentive for the Chinese Government to do so has seemingly vanished.</p>
<p>So, it is with equal disappointment that I watch, read and listen as President Obama, on his recent trans-Pacific trip delivers a very unenthusiastic comment on issues regarding Human Rights in China, let alone Tibet, which appear to be conspicuous by their absence from the core of the summit’s agenda:</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>The major challenges of the 21st Century from climate change to nuclear proliferation to economic recovery are challenges that touch both our nations, and challenges that neither of our nations can solve by acting alone</em>,&#8221; says Obama.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>We will continue to act in a spirit of equality, mutual respect and non-interference in each other&#8217;s internal affairs,&#8221;</em> said Mr Hu</p>
<p>Obama did say that China<strong><em> should</em></strong> resume talks with representatives of Tibet&#8217;s exiled leader the Dalai Lama to resolve their differences but Hu’s insistence that the Dalai Lama is trying to split Tibet from the rest of the country doesn’t sound particularly inspiring. </p>
<p>Hu also said that previous talks had achieved nothing which indeed is correct given that the Chinese Government flatly rejected the Tibetan Government in Exile’s <em><a href="http://www.tibet.net/en/index.php?id=109&#38;articletype=press&#38;tab=2&#38;rmenuid=morepress#TabbedPanels1">Memorandum on Genuine Autonomy for the Tibetan People</a>.</em></p>
<p>The Dalai Lama, on a recent visit to Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, India, the region to which he escaped from occupied Tibet in 1959 said &#8220;It&#8217;s quite usual for China to step up campaign against me wherever I go. It&#8217;s totally baseless on the part of Chinese Communist government to say that I am encouraging a separatist movement.&#8221;  This was in response to Beijing’s criticism of his visit to that area, again another one that China lays claims on.</p>
<p>The Obama administration has in its first 10 months in office expressed a desire to see <a href="http://www.cecc.gov/">meaningful results</a> in Sino-Tibetan dialogue and also sent his Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett and Under Secretary of State and Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues Maria Otero to Dharamsala, India, to meet with the Dalai Lama.</p>
<p>The Dalai Lama’s Special Envoy, Lodi Gyari has subsequently stated that the Dalai Lama &#8220;would value an opportunity to hear directly from the President [Obama] about what transpired during the Beijing summit with regard to Tibet.&#8221;   A post-US-China summit meeting between Obama and the Dalai Lama is set to take place sometime in November.</p>
<p>Hu did, admittedly, bring up the human rights issue first saying that China and the US would hold talks on human rights and religious freedom issues; whether this refers to Tibet is yet to be seen.</p>
<p>Obama’s visit to China and his <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8363643.stm">rather dry and brief reference to human rights issues</a> could be seen as pandering to China’s rising status in the world.  But it could also been seen as a tentative and excessively diplomatic step towards nurturing future relations between the two countries, relations that may well be the key to resolving the Tibet issue.   As necessary and important as the climate, economic and nuclear issues of the day are, let’s hope that the Obama administration doesn’t lose sight of an issue that almost epitomises all that is not quite right with our world.</p>

<description><![CDATA[One of the sections of the new book A Great Deception &#8211; The Ruling Lama&#8217;s Policies asks ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://shugdensociety.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bp515249.jpg"><img src="http://shugdensociety.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bp515249.jpg" alt="Stack of money" title="bp515249" width="384" height="480" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-642" /></a><br />
One of the sections of the new book <a href="http://www.agreatdeception.com">A Great Deception &#8211; The Ruling Lama&#8217;s Policies</a> asks the question &#8220;Where has all the money gone?&#8221; with regard to the Campaign for a Free Tibet. </p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s a quote from the book:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>The amount of money raised for the Tibetan causes over the last few decades &#8211; which most contributors in the West have been led to believe is for a free Tibet &#8211; probably runs into hundreds of millions, in not billions of dollars. If these funds are not being used for a free, independent Tibet (because the Dalai Lama stopped aiming for a this as early as the 1980s), then what is this money being collected for?</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>This is a section of the article Selling Tibet to the World printed on June 5, 2008 by Michael Backman which is featured in A Great Deception:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>GUCCI, iPod, Facebook, Tibet &#8211; these are among the world&#8217;s hot brands, for which brand integrity is everything.</p>
<p>Tibet, as a brand, works particularly well. It brings in millions, and Hollywood A-listers queue to endorse it. What&#8217;s more, they do it for free. Creative director and brand chief executive, the Dalai Lama, will visit Australia again next week. He will preside over a five-day Tibetan prayer instruction course in Sydney. A company has been set up to handle the visit &#8211; Dalai Lama in Australia Limited.</p>
<p>Tickets for the event can be bought online even from The Age&#8217;s own Box Office website along with tickets for Bjorn Again and The Pink Floyd Experience. But few are as expensive as the Dalai Lama experience, with tickets ranging from $800 for front seats to $450 for seats at the back. Tickets for good seats for the Sunday session alone are $248. Lunch is extra &#8211; between $18 and $27 for a pre-ordered lunch box. A clothing range has even been created. There are polo shirts, baseball caps &#8211; even men&#8217;s muscle tees emblazoned with the endless Buddhist knot. From street chic to urban cool, baby, this monk has funk.</p>
<p>Saving Tibet, like Saving Private Ryan, is a good earner. Everyone&#8217;s into it, even China. Back in April, a factory in China&#8217;s Guangdong province was exposed as one of the manufacturers of the Free Tibet flags so prominent in the anti-Olympic torch protests in Britain, France and the US. The factory workers claimed they had no idea what the colourful flags represented. Blame China&#8217;s state-controlled media for that.</p></blockquote>

<description><![CDATA[I have observed with no small degree of fascination, the obsession people have with &#8220;freeing]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I have observed with no small degree of fascination, the obsession people have with &#8220;freeing&#8221; Tibet.  I&#8217;ve wondered if the same people who vehemently oppose war would oppose it if the goal was &#8220;liberating&#8221; the region from China.</p>
<p>Having spoken with a Chinese co-worker in the past, he conveyed to me that the Western press oversimplifies things and that Westerners have no business meddling in Chinese internal affairs.  Needless to say, he&#8217;s not the world&#8217;s biggest Dalai Lama fan.</p>
<p>The Dalai Lama, of course, is the exiled leader of the Tibetan people.  The current one is referred to as &#8220;His Holiness&#8221;.  How a Buddhist is addressed with such a moniker is puzzling, given the fact that Buddhism, to my limited knowledge, doesn&#8217;t deal in &#8220;holiness&#8221; but I digress.</p>
<p>Why do I bring this up?  Because the Chinese government has done something which will not endear it to either the &#8220;Free Tibet&#8221; crowd or much anyone else in the good ol&#8217; U.S. of A.</p>
<p>They went out on a limb and made the following analogy,</p>
<p><strong>Lincoln:Secessionist South::China:Tibet under the Dalai Lama</strong></p>
<p>No they didn&#8217;t, well actually yes they did.  Check it out <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE5AB1BF20091112">here</a>.</p>
<p>How long before the following composite makes its way to the streets of Dixieland?</p>
<p><a href="http://lastrow.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/confederate-flag.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2867" title="Confederate Flag" src="http://lastrow.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/confederate-flag.jpg" alt="Confederate Flag" width="600" height="381" /></a></p>

<description><![CDATA[Jeder der mich kennt, weiss das mir das Thema Tibet sehr am Herzen liegt. Ich finde es erschreckend ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Jeder der mich kennt, weiss das mir das Thema Tibet sehr am Herzen liegt. Ich finde es erschreckend das vor allem so Staaten wie USA überall ihre Finger im Spiel haben wo sie in irgendeiner Art und Weise wirtschaftlich profitieren können. Dort wo es aber not tut und man sich auch die Finger verbrennen könnte hört man von der selbsternannten Weltpolizei gar nichts!!! <strong>SHAME ON YOU!</strong></p>
<p>Eines dieser Themen ist die Unterdrückung der <a title="Autonome Republik Tibet bei wikipedia" href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomes_Gebiet_Tibet">Tibeter</a>. Wer ist nicht weiss, Tibet wurde 1965 von den Chinesen anektiert. Das diese Übernahme nicht freundlich erfolgt ist, dürfte klar sein. Das Volk muss seitdem sehr viel leiden, und man hat es geschaft im Jahr der Olypischen Spiele in Peking/ China wieder auf die Problematik hinzuweisen. Leider waren die Proteste in Tibet und in den Chinesischen Provinzen wo Tibetaner wohnen nur ein Strohfeuer. Man schafft es nicht in die Weltöffentlichkeit Bewegung reinzubringen, geschweige den eine große Nation wie die USA dazu zu bewegen sich für was sinnvolles einzusetzen.  Im Zuge der Demonstrationen wurden mehrere Tibeter gefangen genommen, die bis heute noch wegen friedlichen Demonstrationen im Gefängnis sitzen.  Am 27.10.2009 musten die chinesischen Behören zugeben das die Tibeter Lobsang Gyaltsen und Loyak am 20.10.2009 in Lhasa hingerichtet worden sind.  Man bezichtigte diese Menschen der gewaltsamen Demonstration.</p>
<p><strong>Ich schliesse mich dem Protest von &#8220;International Campaign for Tibet&#8221; an und Verurteile das Vorgehen der Chinesischen Behörden und fordere die Chinesische Regierung auf von weiteren Hinrichtungen abzusehen.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Auch Hannes Jaenicke unterstützt diese Aktion:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Lrjy4XtoIao&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Lrjy4XtoIao&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Um diesen Forderungen Nachdruck zu verleihen sende ich heute meine Karte aus der Aktion Missing Voices unterschrieben zurück an die Internation Campain for Tibet zur Übergabe an die chinesischen Behörden.</p>
<p><strong>Informationen findest Du auf:</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Was les ich da schon am Morgen früh für tolle Neuigkeiten.</p>
<p>Der Amerikanische Präsident Barack Obama will sich am 17.November mit dem Chinesischen Präsident Hu Jintao zusammen setzten um sich über Menschenrechte zu unterhalten und Obama will vorallem auch das Thema Tibet ansprechen. Was mich persönlich freut, denn China kommt ja immer in Konflikte mit Tibet und der Art wie sie die Tibeter behandeln. Meistens gegen die Menschenrechte. Auch will sich Obama in Zukunft mit dem Dalai Lama treffen und auch mit ihm über Tibet sprechen und die Sicht aus seiner Seite anhören um bei den Konflikten behilflich zu sein. Wer weiss vielleicht hat Tibet doch noch die Chance eines Tages wieder Frei zu sein! Ich bin im Kampf für die <a href="freetibet.org" target="_blank">FREIHEIT Tibets</a> dabei!</p>

<h1><span style="color:#993366;">Dalai Lama visits Arunachal Pradesh</span></h1>
<p>Sun Nov 8, 2009 5:35pm IST</p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;">By Krittivas Mukherjee</span></p>
<p>TAWANG, India (Reuters) &#8211; Thousands of Buddhist monks and supporters welcomed Tibet&#8217;s exiled spiritual leader on Sunday to Arunachal Pradesh also claimed by China, a trip that has renewed tensions between the Asian giants.</p>
<p>The Dalai Lama arrived by helicopter in this remote Buddhist enclave nestled in the icy folds of the eastern Himalayas, where he had passed through after fleeing Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule.</p>
<p>The visit, as well as reports of border incursions in recent months, has triggered tensions between the world&#8217;s two most populous nations, whose relations remain hostage to mutual suspicion lingering from a brief 1962 border war.</p>
<p>The Tibetan spiritual leader defended his visit to Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh and said he wasn&#8217;t surprised by Beijing&#8217;s reaction.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is quite usual for China to step up the campaign against me wherever I go,&#8221; the Dalai Lama told reporters after opening a museum at a 400-year-old monastery in Tawang, which is at the heart of the border row between the two countries.<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-643" title="in.reuters.com1" src="http://hinduexistence.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/in-reuters-com12.jpeg?w=300" alt="in.reuters.com1" width="300" height="171" /></p>
<p>&#8220;My visit here is non-political,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Beijing, which considers Arunachal Pradesh to be part of south Tibet, criticised the visit as undermining Chinese territorial integrity. It has slammed the Dalai Lama&#8217;s &#8220;scheme to wreck China&#8217;s relations&#8221; with India.</p>
<p>India and China have made little progress in resolving their decades-old dispute over the Himalayan border, despite several rounds of talks.</p>
<p>China lays claim to 90,000 sq km of land on the eastern sector of the border. India disputes that and instead says China occupies 38,000 sq km (15,000 sq miles) of territory in Aksai Chin plateau in the western Himalayas.</p>
<p>The neighbours which compete for global resources and influence, have also exchanged diplomatic barbs at multi-lateral forums and sparred over visa policies for their citizens in an escalating row that many fear could spiral out of control.</p>
<p>This, despite relations thawing in recent years on the back of mutual trade that is expected to exceed $60 billion next year, a 30-fold increase since 2000.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-644" title="in.reuters.com" src="http://hinduexistence.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/in-reuters-com3.jpeg" alt="in.reuters.com" width="450" height="262" /></p>
<h3><span style="color:#ff0000;">THOUSANDS LINE UP</span></h3>
<p>On Sunday, thousands of people lined the road to Tawang &#8212; a moonscape of steep, craggy mountains and white stupas, which is home to the Monpa people who practice Tibetan Buddhism and speak a tongue similar to Tibetan.</p>
<p>Roads were washed, welcome gates with colourful Buddhist paintings erected and the valley&#8217;s main monastery decked up. With hundreds of exiled Tibetans arriving for the event from all over India, the town took on a carnival look to greet the Dalai Lama.</p>
<p>&#8220;He is our god,&#8221; said a young woman who gave her name as Choeden in between helping put up Tibetan scripture-bearing holy flags.</p>
<p>&#8220;He has come back to bless us all. China may or may not recognise him but that is not important for us. Can the Chinese remove him from our hearts?&#8221;<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-645" title="M_Id_118689_dalai_lama" src="http://hinduexistence.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/m_id_118689_dalai_lama1.jpg" alt="M_Id_118689_dalai_lama" width="300" height="250" /></p>
<p>Lamas or monks swathed in maroon and saffron robes chanted sutras, blew gongs and swung incense sticks before a 25-ft high golden Buddha at the main monastery &#8211; a pagoda-like structure with brilliant red, blue and white paintings.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Chinese government is pure evil and it knows what the Dalai Lama means to us,&#8221; said Pema Tsering, who runs a local grocery store. &#8220;They call him names to belittle him. But he is like the ocean, a few drops of poison doesn&#8217;t spoil it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Beijing calls the Dalai Lama a dangerous &#8220;splittist&#8221; plotting Tibetan independence, a charge he denies. He says he is merely seeking autonomy for Tibet.</p>

<div><!--Article bodyContent--> Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh: Arriving in this border town to a rousing  reception on a visit resented by China, the Dalai Lama on Sunday rebuffed  Beijing for objecting to his trip to Arunachal Pradesh and expressed surprise  over the Communist nation’s claims to Tawang, a revered seat of Buddhism.<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-647" title="prayer-flags_1518102c" src="http://hinduexistence.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/prayer-flags_1518102c.jpg?w=300" alt="prayer-flags_1518102c" width="300" height="187" /></div>

<p>The 74-year-old Tibetan spiritual leader, who is visiting Arunachal Pradesh  after six years—drawing international attention in the wake of Chinese  protests—also rejected Beijing’s charge that he was encouraging a separatist  movement by calling it baseless. The Nobel laureate characterized his  “emotional” visit to Tawang, which has strong ties to Tibet, as non-political.</p>
<p>“It is totally baseless on the part of the Chinese Communist government to say  that I am encouraging a separatist movement. My visit to Tawang is non-political  and aimed at promoting universal brotherhood and nothing else,” he said. The Dalai Lama said the People’s Liberation Army of China had occupied Tawang  and nearly reached Bom Dila during the Sino-India war in 1962.</p>
<p>“But the then Chinese government declared a unilateral ceasefire and withdrew  (its forces). Now the Chinese have got different views. This is something which  I really don’t know. I am a little bit surprised,” he said in a clear reference  to Chinese claims over Tawang.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-648" title="Dalai_Lama00" src="http://hinduexistence.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dalai_lama00.jpg" alt="Dalai_Lama00" width="236" height="187" />He was talking to newsmen after opening a museum at the 400-year-old Tawang  monastery here.</p>
<p>China has strongly objected to the Dalai Lama’s visit and in recent days, it  has stepped up rhetoric claiming Tawang and the whole of Arunachal Pradesh as  part of that country.</p>
<p>He said there was no point in holding talks with China on the Tibet issue  unless Beijing spells out its policy on it.</p>
<p>“It is quite usual for China to step up campaigning against me wherever I  go,” he added.</p>
<p>The spiritual leader, who flew to Tawang from Guwahati on Sunday morning, was  welcomed by cheering Tibetans as he drove along the 10km stretch from the  helipad to the Tawang monastery, accompanied by Arunachal Pradesh chief minister  Dorjee Kandu.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Migliaia di persone con i costumi tradizionali, bandiere, canti, danze e musica, hanno accolto il Dalai Lama nella sua visita nello stato nord orientale indiano dell&#8217;Arunachal Pradesh, conteso dalla Cina. Una visita spirituale, nel secondo tempio buddista del mondo per grandezza, quello di Tawang, ma anche piena di nostalgia: proprio qui nel marzo del 1959 arrivo&#8217; il Dalai Lama entrando in India dopo essere scappato dal Tibet occupato dalla Cina. E la ricorrenza del cinquantesimo anniversario dell&#8217;esilio del Dalai lama e del governo tibetano, non e&#8217; stata dimenticata dal governo di Pechino che alla fine di ottobre, dopo l&#8217;annuncio della visita del Dalai Lama nello stato, ha chiesto al governo indiano di vietare la visita nello stato conteso. &#8221;Il Dalai e&#8217; un gradito ospite dell&#8217;India, non impegnato in attivita&#8217; politiche, e puo&#8217; andare dove vuole&#8221;, aveva detto subito dopo a Pechino  il primo ministro indiano Manmohan Singh. Il governo cinese aveva rincarato la dose, accusando il Dalai di minare le relazioni fra India e Cina, circostanza smentita dal sottosegretario agli esteri di Delhi. Ma, per non irritare di piu&#8217; Pechino, il governo di Delhi ha vietato ai giornalisti stranieri di seguire la visita del Dalai Lama in Arunachal Pradesh, negando i permessi necessari per raggiungere lo stato di confine e ritirando quelli gia&#8217; rilasciati. &#8221;E&#8217; usuale per la Cina cominciare campagne contro di me  &#8211; ha detto all&#8217;arrivo in Arunachal Pradesh il Dalai Lama &#8211; e dovunque io vada. E&#8217; totalmente infondato che io incoraggi un movimento separatista. La mia posizione e&#8217; nota a tutti: io non cerco l&#8217;indipendenza ma una reale autonomia del Tibet. La mia visita qui non e&#8217; politica, intende solo promuovere la fratellanza universale e niente di piu&#8217;. Fino a quando il governo cinese non predera&#8217; seriamente in considerazione i problemi del popolo tibetano in Tibet, non ce&#8217; nessun motivo per me di tornare in Cina&#8221;, ha concluso il leader tibetano durante l&#8217;inaugurazione di un museo nel monastero di Tawang. Qui, nel luogo che lo ha visto esule nel 1959, alla presenza di migliaia di persone, il Dalai ha cominciato la sua settimana di insegnamenti in Arunachal Pradesh. Arrivato in elicottero, il corteo del Dalai Lama ha percorso i dieci chilometri tra l&#8217;eliporto e il monastero, tra due ali di fedeli arrivati da tutto lo stato, oltre 15000 persone, che intonavano il mantra tibetano Om Mani Padme Om. Oltre ottocento i monaci che lo attendevano nel seicentesco monastero, posto a  oltre 3000 metri. L&#8217;effigie del Dalai e&#8217; stata affissa in ogni luogo della zona che il Dalai, oltre a quella di oggi e quella del 1959, ha visitato altre tre volte. Ma non solo spiritualita&#8217; nella sua visita. Durante la settimana, il Dalai inaugurera&#8217; un ospedale che ha contribuito a costruire, ma soprattutto e&#8217; atteso un suo discorso sull&#8217;ambiente, in previsione del vertice mondiale di Copenaghen sul clima di dicembre. Da sempre il leader del governo tibetano in esilio e&#8217; impegnato in un&#8217;azione di sensibilizzazione non solo per la sopravvivenza del popolo, della cultura e delle tradizioni tibetane, ma anche dell&#8217;ambiente himalayano in particolare e mondiale in generale. In ogni sua visita, l&#8217;emissione di CO2 causata dagli spostamenti del leader tibetano, viene pareggiata con il piantare alberi. Il Dalai, in previsione del vertice di Copenaghen, ha deciso di parlare in Arunachal Pradesh perche&#8217; questa zona, nella parte orientale dell&#8217;Himalaya, e&#8217; una delle regioni biologicamente piu&#8217; ricche del pianeta. Qui, secondo uno studio del Wwf, tra il 1998 e il 2008 sono state scoperte 353 nuove specie.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Un altro esempio di democrazia dalla più grossa democrazia del mondo. Il governo indiano ha vietato ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Un altro esempio di democrazia dalla più grossa democrazia del mondo. Il governo indiano ha vietato ai giornalisti stranieri, anche quelli accreditati in India, di seguire la visita del Dalai Lama nello stato nord orientale indiano dell&#8217;Arunachal Pradesh, stato conteso dalla Cina. La denuncia arriva da Heather Timmons, presidente del club dei corrispondenti stranieri di New Delhi. &#8221;Siamo incredibilmente sorpresi e delusi &#8211; ha detto la Timmons, che e&#8217; corrispondente del New York Times &#8211; della decisione del governo indiano&#8221;. La Timmons ha riferito che non solo il governo di Delhi ha rifiutato i permessi necessari che vengono consessi a tutti coloro che vogliono visitare le zone sensibili dell&#8217;India (tra le quali il Kashmir e il nord est), ma ha anche ritirato quattro passi gia&#8217; concessi nei giorni scorsi ad altrettanti giornalisti. Il Dalai Lama comincera&#8217; il prossimo 8 novembre un viaggio nell&#8217;Arunachal Pradesh, che confina con la Cina (Tibet), per insegnamenti. L&#8217;annuncio ha provocato forti reazioni del governo cinese che ha protestato con quello indiano. La Cina infatti, non riconosce come indiano l&#8217;Arunachal Pradesh e ne rivendica la sovranita&#8217;, come non riconosce l&#8217;annessione all&#8217;India del Sikkim, mentre New Delhi ritiene che i cinesi occupino indebitamente una vasta parte del Kashmir sul massiccio dell&#8217;Aksai Chin. In totale quasi 4.600 chilometri della lunga frontiera tra i due paesi rimangono indefiniti. La disputa sui confini, soprattutto la questione dell&#8217;Arunachal Pradesh, fu al centro di una guerra breve combattuta dai due paesi nel 1962. Ancora oggi, le truppe sono schierate sui due confini e ogni tanto si ha notizia di colpi di mortaio fra le due parti. Alle proteste cinesi, il primo ministro indiano ha risposto che il Dalai e&#8217; un ospite dell&#8217;India e puo&#8217; muoversi liberamente, al che <a href="http://indonapoletano.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/la-cina-accusa-il-dalai-lama-di-sabotare-relazioni-con-lindia/">la Cina ha accusato il Dalai Lama di sabotare le relazioni con l&#8217;India</a>. Il sottosegretario agli esteri di New Delhi nei giorni scorsi aveva rassicurato tutti sulla tenuta delle relazioni tra India e Cina, ma la decisione di oggi del governo indiano ha provocato reazioni sia nella comunita&#8217; tibetana in esilio in India, sia tra la comunita&#8217; dei giornalisti corrispondenti che delle organizzazioni che si occupano di diritti umani e di liberta&#8217; di informazione.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Le relazioni tra Cina e India rischiano di toccare il punto più basso degli ultimi anni questa setti]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Le relazioni tra Cina e India rischiano di toccare il punto più basso degli ultimi anni questa settimana, quando &#8211; a partire dall&#8217; 8 novembre &#8211; il Dalai Lama si recherà in visita nell&#8217;Arunachal Pradesh, la provincia indiana sulla quale Pechino reclama la propria sovranità. Proprio oggi, la Cina ha accusato il Dalai Lama di cercare di &#8220;sabotare&#8221; le relazioni tra Pechino e New Delhi con la sua prossima visita in una regione di confine contesa. &#8220;Il Dalai Lama &#8211; ha sostenuto il portavoce cinese Ma Zhaoxu in una conferenza stampa &#8211; spesso mente e cerca di sabotare le relazioni della Cina con altri Paesi&#8221;. L&#8217;India ha respinto le proteste della Cina, affermando che il leader tibetano è un &#8220;ospite&#8221; che può recarsi &#8220;dove vuolé. L&#8217;incontro, la scorsa settimana ai margini del vertice dell&#8217; Asean in Thailandia, tra i premier Wen Jiabao e Manmohan Singh non sembra essere riuscito a far abbassare la temperatura, arrivata alle stelle con una serie di botta e risposta tra dirigenti dei due Paesi. Wen Jiabao ha dichiarato all&#8217; agenzia Nuova Cina di credere &#8220;&#8230;che i nostri due Paesi possano mantenere nel futuro delle relazioni buone, cosa che corrisponde ai loro interessi, e su questo problema io sono fiducioso&#8221;. Manmohan Sing, citato dal Times of India, si è astenuto da commenti limitandosi a ripetere di aver &#8220;respinto&#8221; le proteste cinesi per la visita del leader tibetano nell&#8217; area contesa. Il Dalai Lama si recherà anche a Tawang, una località dove sorge un monastero di grande importanza per i buddhisti tibetani, vicina al confine con la Cina. Il leader tibetano, che afferma di chiedere per il Tibet una &#8220;vera&#8221; autonomia è considerato un secessionista da Pechino. In precedenza, la Cina aveva contestato una visita dello stesso Manmohan Sing nell&#8217;Arunachal, che è oggi una provincia dell&#8217; Unione Indiana. Pechino non riconosce il Trattato di Simla del 1914 tra il Tibet, allora indipendente, e la Gran Bretagna, che allora governava l&#8217; India e che stabilì i confini tra i due regni. La polemica è diventata rovente a metà ottobre, dopo due infuocati editoriali del Quotidiano del Popolo, il giornale del Partito Comunista Cinese, che ha accusato gli indiani di essere diventati &#8220;negli ultimi anni&#8221;, &#8220;intolleranti alle critiche&#8221; e di essere preda di &#8220;sentimenti nazionalisti&#8221; che &#8220;in alcuni casi sfociano nell&#8217; egemonismo&#8221;. Criticando la visita nella provincia indiana, non da parte del Dalai Lama, ma del primo ministro stesso, il portavoce cinese Ma Zhaoxu ha sottolineato che i due Paesi &#8220;non hanno raggiunto un accordo sulla questione della frontiera&#8221; e che Pechino è &#8220;fortemente insoddisfatta&#8221; per le visita che ai suoi occhi sanciscono la chiusura dell&#8217; India su una questione che considera ancora aperta. In quell&#8217; occasione, il portavoce indiano S.M.Krishna si è limitato a ricordare che per il governo di New Delhi l&#8217;Arunachal Pradesh &#8220;é parte integrale dell&#8217; India&#8221; e che &#8220;noi ci fermiamo qui&#8221;. Introducendo un ulteriore elemento di polemica, il Quotidiano del Popolo ha tirato in ballo anche i rapporti dei due Paesi con gli Usa accusando New Delhi di essere &#8220;disorientata&#8221; a causa dell&#8217; idea che Washington la veda come un possibile contrappeso alla crescente importanza della Cina. L&#8217;India ha risposto criticando la collaborazione tra Cina e Pakistan nel Kashmir &#8211; territorio oggi in parte controllato da Pechino ed Islamabad che Delhi rivendica &#8211; e la proposta del governo nepalese per un prolungamento della ferrovia del Qinghai-Tibet, che collega Pechino a Lhasa, fino a Kathmandu.</p>

<description><![CDATA[From a local Vancouver writer, book critic, and imbiber of both alcohol and good ideas: &#8220;What]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://unambig.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/free_tibet.jpg" alt="free_tibet" title="free_tibet" width="480" height="371" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6186" /></p>
<p>From a local Vancouver writer, book critic, and imbiber of both alcohol and good ideas:</p>
<blockquote><blockquote>&#8220;What&#8217;s the quintessential leftist cause? It&#8217;s the one you see on a gazillion bumper stickers: Free Tibet. Every college in the US has a Free Tibet society: There&#8217;s the Indiana University Students for a Free Tibet, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Students for a Free Tibet, and the Students for a Free Tibet University of Michigan Chapter. Everyone&#8217;s for a free Tibet, but no one&#8217;s for freeing Tibet. Idealism as inertia is the hallmark of the movement [...]</p>
<p>&#8220;[...] the Left&#8217;s conscience is now just some tedious shell game in which it frantically scrambles the thimbles but, whether you look under the Iraqi or Afghan or Sudanese one, you somehow never find the shrivelled pea of The Military Intervention We&#8217;re Willing To Support When It Counts.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Never mind the author: consider the rare salience of these remarks. I refuse to truck in symbols and gestures myself; the aim of good politics is not to send messages, promote ideas, or advocate for more advocacy. Rather it is to engage in such action as may be needed, if it advances the nation&#8217;s interest; it is to act on real problems as soon as practically possible, for the lowest conceivable cost. Destroying the Taliban is such good politics, and will provide substantial benefits to Canada, and humanity, when and if it is done, despite the brutal cost.</p>
<p>Whereas wishing and hoping and tugging on the Dalai Lama&#8217;s robe will not free Tibet, which the Chinese are subsuming through massive in-migration and the might of the PLA. The slight little man-children who proclaim themselves friends of Tibet on their T-shirts, blogs and Vespa bumpers would <em>never</em> countenance a Western force confronting Beijing&#8217;s army there in the Himalayas. Yet since military power is the <em>only</em> way the little country might ever escape the Sons of Heaven, to take war off the table is a declaration of uselessness, and a pointless advertisement for one&#8217;s own virtue, dressed up in peacenikkery:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.studentsforafreetibet.org/article.php?id=1306">Students For A Free Tibet</a></p>
<p>Notice how these typical punks, typically, demand &#8220;UN intervention&#8221;, like the UN has a standing army&#8230; They are unserious. So are the various Beastie Boys and George Clooneys who&#8217;ve lent their images to what&#8217;s essentially a non-risky un-cause. Rule of thumb: if celebrities press a political agenda, it is an unfulfillable one, about which they don&#8217;t have positions, but postures. Consider Sheryl Crow as climatologist, for example.</p>
<p>Now, I don&#8217;t advocate war with China &#8212; I think Tibet is lost, lost, lost &#8212; but I&#8217;m waiting for the other Left shoe to drop. 20 years from now, when Han Chinese in the Tibetan homeland outnumber the natives 50 to 1, I think that you&#8217;ll be hearing this, from The Progressive Element: &#8220;Well, you know, Tibet is a country of immigrants&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Lyle Neff lives in Vancouver. The author he quotes of &#8220;rare salience&#8221; is Mark Steyn.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>L&#8217;Arunachal Pradesh, e&#8217; lo stato piu&#8217; orientale dell&#8217;India e si trova al confine con la Cina (Tibet), la Birmania, il Bhutan e gli stati indiani di Assam e Nagaland. Si estende per 84000 chilometri quadrati alle pendici dell&#8217;Himalaya ed e&#8217; abitato da 1091117 abitanti divisi in tre etnie principali e una ventina di tribu&#8217; principali. Negli ultimi anni, grazie ai panorami, le montagne e i fiumi, sta diventando meta turistica molto richiesta sia dagli indiani che dai turisti stranieri che, per accedervi, hanno bisogno di uno speciale permesso. Di tradizione buddista, conserva alcuni tra i monasteri e templi buddisti piu&#8217; belli dell&#8217;India, come Tawang, dove il Dalai Lama si e&#8217; recato oggi per insegnamenti. Lo stato fu annesso dall&#8217;India coloniale dopo essere stato controllato dal regno del Tibet. Il rappresentante della corona britannica, Henry MacMahon, designato per definire i confini indiani, nel 1913-14 lo inseri&#8217; agli interni dei confini del paese, cosa che non fu accettata dal governo di Pechino che abbandono&#8217; il tavolo dell&#8217;accordo di Simla. Da allora, la Cina ne rivendica l&#8217;autorita&#8217;, tanto da aver combattuto con l&#8217;India una guerra nel 1962. In quella occasione, l&#8217;esercito cinese riusci&#8217; a conquistare alcuni distretti dell&#8217;Arunachal Pradesh, che lascio&#8217;, ritirandosi dietro la linea MacMahon. Da allora, i confini non sono mai stati chiariti e gli eserciti dei due paesi stazionano da una parte e dall&#8217;altra e non sono rari colpi di artiglieria contro il confine opposto.</p>
