To: Gengis Khan; Yang Taiyi
杨先生你在看梦吗? 西藏比印度怎么好?刚才来了第一个火车就你们中国人说西藏比印度好。你开玩笑吗? 你先回答Gengis的问题。 1)如果西藏比印度好那为什么西藏人想去印度?因为印度人比中国人友好,所以吗? 你怎么长得这么慢? OK, translation for question 1 made with a personal flavor. As to answer someone else's question, I asked some of my Chinese friends that I had when I was living in Dalian, I asked them what they thought of the video of teh killing. They thought that the video was doctored. They couldn't believe that their PLA could do something so "bad". This is the Chinese general "opinion" about th incident. Although China internationally admitted to the incident, there probably has been nothing in the local press. Now to answer Yang's question about why the Tibetans would send little children with smugglers across the border, its because the situation even in Lhasa is hopeless. The people have no opportunities. A majority of all profitable businesses are run by Han Chinese in Lhasa and surrounding areas. I met a Tibetan whose parents fled to India in the mid 80's when he was 5 years old. He got himself an education and went back to Tibet, but he couldn't work anywhere because only Chinese university qualifications are recogised in the region unlike elsewhere in China. He tried to spend time studying Chinese language in some university but he didn't get a certificate because he wasn't a foreigner, and by definition, Chinese are expected to speak Chinese. There are many tools used to stifle Tibetan progress in China. Last I heard, he took his TOEFL and is currently studying Public administration in the US. He hopes to go back to Tibet armed with an American Master's degree, I hope he succeeds this time around. In India, you will find Tibetans in engineering schools, especially in Mysore and Pune. Their community helps put them through college and do something about their lives. They may be far from their homeland, but they are free to practice their culture and their way of life. They add to the diversity of the Indian populace and they do contibute to our progress. Let's not listen to a Chicom troll who wants us to throw out our Tibetan family members. India may lose out on GDP growth in the short term, but we WILL benefit from it in the long run. We have always welcomed people from everywhere, starting from the Aryans, the Persians, the Greeks, the Central Asians, the Jews, the black African Sidjis, hell! even the Cantonese Chinese. We have always been an open country, much like the US, its part of who we are.
