: J9 `2 d3 l8 \I am tired of the one-sided coverage and misstatements aboutTibet. Any one willing to search the Internet could easily find thetruth, but most people prefer to just turn on the television and havesomeone else feed them their version of the truth. I will take greatrisk by quoting Vladimir Lenin, “A lie told often enough becomestruth”. The truth is that Tibet was never the society that mostwesterners want to or have been led to believe. Tibet was always afiefdom. It was a society where slavery and great cruelty. It was asociety where slaves gave birth to slaves; a place where the lowerclass, the class just above the slaves were forced to serve theirmaster's every whim. The debts they accumulated just to pay for the useof the land was so great that their grandchildren's children could notpay it off, but were expected to do so. This service even extended totheir daughters and sons. Often male children were taken from theirparents and forced to serve the priesthood. This was not even the landthat the Dalai Llama speaks of even today, where people are at peaceand religions of all people should be respected. Tibetan past islittered with the slaughter and forced converts of those that did notbelieve in the ruling sect's ways. Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth by Michael Parenti , t4 W+ m9 W.

Just looking at the riotsfollowing Rodney King, OJ Simpson, Watts, New York, or Harlem showsthat even the United States does not tolerate such behavior. Alsouniversal is the restriction on free speech when speaking about theoverthrow of the government. As for Tibet's desire to separate, do Ineed to remind you about a little war that occurred here between 1861and 1865? We must ask ourselves what would happen to China if Tibet wasallowed to separate? $ o! V7 t; C+ n7 o5 u

0 J1 v% @# V! {% b- f* ^8 L4 CTo answer that, you must know a little more about the changesthat China has undergone in the last 20 years. China's economy hasbecome a free market economy. The government has made a lot of progressin privatizing land, businesses and industries. Fifteen years ago, mostpeople lived in government supplied housing. Today, most own their ownhome. Salaries have risen sharply and many people are considered to berich. This change unfortunately is not universal nor spread throughoutall of China. Like most countries based on free market, this new wealthdepends on living in an area where a market exists. There are largeareas of rural China where this prosperity has yet to be seen. Add intothis the growing Muslim population in western China and you will findseveral areas that would wish to separate from the mainland.

Notonly would Tibet quickly return to it feudal past, the rioter's truedemand, other areas of China would demand to follow suit. Just as thiscould not be allowed in the United States, this can not be allowed tohappen in China. China is changing quickly and the new prosperity isspreading, but it will take time. 3 d) u/ l/ U/ d8 ]; h

I actually found little difference between NewYork and Beijing except for the language. Though the form of governmentstill refers to itself as communist, it is not and has not been formany years the communism of the cold war. And to be honest, even if itwas, where do we American's get off trying to tell China what type ofgovernment they should choose? Does our constant interference inChina's business make us any better than what a lot of American's thinkthey know of China? My suggestion would be to make a trip there and seefor yourself. Don't look at the bias reporting on the news channels andthink you know what is going on. Please try to remember that thesestations are also based on a free market. They need to make a profit.To make a profit, they must sell commercial space. To sell this space,they must impel people to turn off the sports, American Idol, DesperateHousewives or whatever else they are watching and turn to the news. Todo that, they must create a reason. Conflict is that reason. Imaginehow large the ratings for the Olympics will be now? |

现在，让我且说说看。我知道，不管我在这里写什么，我都会得到一些人充满敌意的评语，但我不能再坐视不理，继续沉默下去了。
我看够了有关西藏的片面报道和错误报道。任何人随便到网上找一找就可以很容易地找出真相，但大多数人更喜欢动不动就打开电视，让别人告诉自己他们编排出来的真相。我在此冒着极大的风险引述弗拉季米尔‧列宁的话， "谎言千遍便成真理" 。事实的真相是，西藏根本就不是大部分西方人希望或已经被 ...
