Explosions in Tibetan Areas
A couple of small explosions in Tibetan areas of Qinghai Province have damaged a police car and a fire truck, wire reports say. A sign of things to come? Apparently the Dalai Lama thinks so. He told a German newspaper he is worried about an "explosion" of violence and said he had heard that Han Chinese living in Tibetan areas were arming themselves. Very worrying if true. I have seen plenty of cases where such ethnic tension and mutual fear can spiral rapidly out of control. Today, March 10 is the first date to worry about, the 50th anniversary of the uprising in Lhasa against Chinese rule that ultimately lead to the DL fleeing (17th) to India (he arrived March 31st). There's also the one year anniversary of last year's unrest on the 14th. The month is also the 20th anniversary of the bloody suppression of demonstrations in 1989, protests ultimately obscured by the Tiananmen incidents in May and June.
March, as my colleague at the Economist puts it, is the cruelest month in Tibet. Let's hope there won't be another date added to this grim calendar of memory this year.

Ah! 2 died in Northern Ireland. So that justified all the killing in Tibet by Han Chinese. We should all focus on violence in Ireland now, and leave China alone. Northern Ireland is so much more important than China, anyway. And any two Irish out weight any number of Chinese deaths.

Two killed in North Ireland and 22 people killed by Lhasa mobs, all killed in a separatist attempted violent.
Interestingly the western main stream journalists are so subjective and prejudiced, one accident was labelled as terrorist attack, and another one was peaceful protest. -

Simon,
As a journalist, you need to point out in the same interview; the Dalia Lama also said the police staged the Lhasa violent riot last year.
The DL also said in the past the government sent a million immigrants into Tibet, he also said hundreds thousands of Tibetans were killed by police in March 2008. Either he is lying, try to acquire profit in time of trouble or he is telling bloody truth.
Don't publish some of his words and ignore the others. -

Bluescreen, the reason no one takes Wu Mao claims seriously is that they never, ever mention Tibetan deaths.
You'll never be believed, or have you words seriously considered, if you have blinders on to the deaths of non-Han people.

So you are the 5 dollar coins, never, ever mention non Tibetan deaths.

Not true, Bluescreen.

50 years of occupation, 50 years of persecution, 50 years of genocide!

I should say this time, Simon's report looks more like a professional report ... not a political statement.
So congratulations!But unfortunately, Saulann the self-claimed descedant of a missionary family who may not know what exactly missionary means ... and others:
Could you idiots stop barking? -

2morrow2: Only Chinese know how to stop barking. All others don't have that skill.
-

Johnsmith: 5 dollar coins like you certainly has the skill.

John, saulaan, just ignore what the five-jiaos were barking. The five-jiaos don't dare to deny their CCP-dog's status(apparently they can't), so they feign a "5 dollar coins" to drag you into mire and to confuse people. Evil! LOL!!
The truth is: Every ordinary people in China, in spite of Han or Tibetan or the others, is in the same way the victim of the CCP. If conditional and possible, everyone would be a "separatist", everybody would smash the CCP and their regime, and of course, their running dogs, the five-jiaos!!
Provoking the ethnic hatred between Han and tibetan and the others is the CCP's intrigue, which has been applied to transfer the fiercer and fiercer conflicts and crises between the CCP and people.

Basically what J-9876 said was that C-C had excellent barking skills.
There doesn't seem to be any consensus between C-C and J-9876 at least on the ethnic and/or national identification front.
But Frankly C-C re your comment on "dragging" :
Things like J-9876 and Saulann the self-claimed descedant of a missionary family who may not know what exactly missionary means essentially do not need anybody to drag them ... I suppose you mean down.
They are already deep down ... as his exiled "H"ness Daliar stated today ... in the hell ... Is there any place lower than that?
How can anybody possibly to drag them even lower?

The 2morrow2:
You are stupid enough! Why did you acknowledge your "five-jiao" status so simply and directly? Your wage will be deducted from "five-jiao" to "four-jiao" if you continue to be idiotic like that!

conscienceinchina: It is the reaction to challenge that separates a rabid dog from a normal dog, since all dogs drool to some extend. That's why you need to challenge a dog you suspect as rabid to really diagnose its condition.

Dalai Lama Dilemma.
By: Jordan C. Fan, Prophet of Environment.
While the Dalai Lama has received unprecedented attentions by ignorant Westerners, his theology is really too ordinary to even sweep across Chinese minds. In our mysterious Far East, people like Dalai Lama are everywhere and simply too numerous to be of any interest to anyone. This is true not just near the Himalayas but also in every town, village and house across China, India and Indochina. Although I am a Prophet or Grand Master of all clairvoyants, there are countless others with minor abilities to communicate with the spiritual world.
There are millions of people including other Buddhist monks in China who can tell the fortune of other individuals with extreme accuracy even up to the hour about when a person would die. Some people could, on a routine basis, communicate with the dead or evil spirits everyday. They could also pinpoint the exact locations with instructions from a ghosts to know exactly where they had hidden certain objects of importance. Others could conduct seances to summon spirits from another world who are truly present at the scenes. The Chinese “Hitting of the Not So Big Man” similar to voodoo could injure or even kill people hundreds if not thousands of miles away. Southeast Asian Goong Tauu could force some people's cheating love ones' miraculously return to homes from far away places or face fatal consequences. A lot of people can write thousands of pages of meaningful texts automatically without even opening up their eyes or use their minds. All these should serve as warnings to Americans and Europeans not to mess around with Asians or we will definitely strike back.
Those European and American Dalai Lama supporters are in fact teasing and laughing at the Tibetans and other Buddhists for not being allowed to conceive by drawing the world's attention on them. Such practices of abstinent are no strangers to Asian cultures. There were always thousands of eunuchs resided in Asian palaces through the centuries. All were not allowed to conceived for the security of those monarchies. Then there are always people who simply refuse to have sex. Americans have always joked about the baldness of Tibetans. Quite obviously, they should first laugh at Obama because even his name is bald! Obama supports Tibetans simply due to their common hair styles and to defeat China but use other reasons as excuses. Those foreigners are simply trying to be nasty in taking this opportunity to humiliate at Eastern culture. Such unethically foreign habits must be frowned upon and stopped by all Asians immediately.
People similar to the Tibetans can be found everywhere in the United States. First, there are special ancient religious tribes such as Jews, Shakers, Mormons, Amish, Mennonite and many more... There are also new denominations and cults. Many of them occupy exclusive area almost comparable to Tibet. I won't even dare to count those many numerous native Indian tribes and sub-tribes. There are also Cajuns and others groups living in the Louisiana Bayou and Florida Everglades. Many atrocities such as the massacre at Waco, Texas by the U. S. FBI, under the direction of Democrats, were examples of the American government's mistreatments of minorities, so why don't the Europeans criticize Americans? If I discussed such problems in Europe, it will take me an extra ten years and another ten thousand pages. I am not sure I will live that long?
Now we should discuss the issues of majorities, minorities, tribes and nomads living in China. Nomads, similar to gypsy, are foreigners who are passing through China and should not be counted as minorities but migrants or foreigners. There are in fact more than ten thousand majorities and minorities living in China. In addition to Han, Manchurian, Mongolian, Muslim and Tibetan who should really be considered as majorities not minorities because there are other tribes living in Sichuan and Yunnan who are truly minorities. In additional Hakka, Cantonese, South China Sea Islanders, Taiwanese and Shanghai people should also be counted as minorities which may also deserve some special and favorable treatments. In addition, there are always many people in different towns and villages who have very different cultural habits different from ordinary Chinese who wanted to counted as distinct people. The population of some of those people could even equal to the Tibetan population if not exceeded it. Many of those people entered this Chinese melting pot after the Tibetans.
Since the inception of the People's Republic, China have been treating Tibetans very well by investing hundreds of billions yuans into Tibet for Tibetan welfare. This is even more so than other majorities and minorities elsewhere.
No country should waste their time and resource tending to such mammoth and unimportant issues while the Environment is fast deteriorating.
