Well comments from starangel. The whole complex issue of Tibet is simplified to the point of bigotry. It is as if all the angers and jealousies of the China’s rise from the Western world are met at single issues of Tibet and Human Right.
Looking at how the China Government has treated the Tibetan and its people, many grievances are true. Let me repeat again, China Government is one of the foremost totalitarian in the world.
The fact is that Western civilization has made itself a comfortable life and built the best institutions around to safeguard those privileges. It is indeed a great achievement and I believe it is a, in retrospective, mostly positive than negative phenomena to history of human kinds.
However, this does not give the Western world’s right to criticize others as most often its history show otherwise. I do not need to repeat those hideous crimes and unfair treatments to the weaker states/races from the last 4 centuries and even the last decades. Most of these actions are justified in the very language of human right, “modern” civilization. Exterminating the Native American Indian, forcibly taken away Aboriginal babies, systematic “eliminating” all the European Jews are just some of those unspeakable crimes.
Let admit: Tibet is a problem China Government has to resolve sooner or later. However, we will not reach there because of Western’s high handed pressure. It will do the reverse for it sounds very much like from a hypocritical high priest, sitting on a high horse and telling us what is right and wrong.
This is a plea from a Chinese man: Can we deal with this issue in a sensible way?
