China says using Dalai to reach ulterior motive doomed to fail
China said Friday that near 100 countries had already demonstrated their support for China's action in the Tibet riot, noting that attempts of "using Dalai to reach ulterior motive" were doomed to fail.
The governments of almost 100 countries had conveyed to China or demonstrated in public their support for China's action to safeguard the national sovereignty, territorial integrity and stability in Tibet and condemned the violence and those who masterminded the crimes, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in a written statement,
"It is a clear proof that the international community is on the side of China", the spokesman said.
Qin made the remarks in response to reporters' question concerning U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's meeting with Dalai Lama on Friday in India.
He called Dalai a "chief representative" for the surf system and a political refugee engaged in activities of splitting China and destroying national unity, stressing that China firmly opposes to any encouragement or support for the secessionist attempts of Dalai's clique which violate the basic principles of international relations.
"It won't establish any moral authority at all," Qin noted.
Pelosi was reported as calling for pressing China on the Tibet issue.
Surf sytem??? Serf? Huh?
Little old for that, isn't he?
It's part of why they hate daily llama, and since charlie is constipated, too, they hate the Tibetans even more for being 'regular' guys!
I want to see the list of 100 supporting countries, and to see how many are themselves in the killing of any ethnic groups they don’t like.
That's a laugh, but one that ends grimly. For it's the rulers of China whom look upon the population of vast millions, in China, and Tibet too, as little more than serfs, there to be exploited, there to make the ruling class richer. To accuse the Dalai Lama of doing so presently now, is psychological projection, on their part. And very telling "projection", it is!
They've become much worse than, what they for so long accused capitalists in the West of being. Oppressors. And now, not "communists" per se, but retaining the Totalitarian aspects of communism, while becoming greedy oppressive capitalists, themselves!
What the West must not do, is indulge itself in broad-brush condemnation of the Chinese, in general. We must focus our attention and criticism on the ruling class, and the abuses, thievery, murders and oppression which occurs DAILY coming through the communist party "system".
If we were to that effectively, we know damned well the rulers would try to stir up nationalistic fervor against the U.S., regardless, even if we could avoid DIRECTLY stirring up animosities against us in the minds of the Chinese people themselves, by not making the criticisms and condemantions aimed at "all" Chinese, in general. So we must be very careful... for if we don't, it could come back to bit us in the ass, real hard.
Would we like to see the communist system replaced with something more open, more "legal", more sensitive to human rights?
What would replace the current corrupt, but presently growing ever so much wealthier system?
Whatever it is, it must come from within China, even if some of the ideas included are spoken of, or even originate from outside of China.
What the Chinese government REALLY fears is the loss of power. I don't know how much of their own history the average Chinese citizen is allowed to learn, but surely their overseers remember that an uprising of the peasants they so casually put down today was what got them into power in the first place.
Another thing...have ALL the alleged SARS victims rounded up and disappeared by the Chinese government been accounted for? Did they ALL return home?
I kind of assumed these “supportive” nations would be dictatorships.
Imagine that.
So we have two fronts to contend. Chinese in general, and Chinese regime. Han Chinese are not innocent just because they are not part of ruling class.
I don’t see the USA, UK, France, Germany, Australia, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Holland, Italy, Israel, Greece, Canada, Spain, Japan, South Korea, Mexico or even Russia on that list. I think there are a lot of other countries in the world not there but the names aren’t coming to mind. Some world consensus.
I would have never opened such trade, in the first place.
But I couldn't stop it, either.
At the time it began to take place, I was wondering if the bet was, "build up a Chinese middle class, and they will change China from the inside", throwing off the communist yoke(?)
Sure never looked like a safe bet to me. More like one doomed to lose.
And those who tell me, "oh, they'll never make war on the U.S." will add cynically but perhaps not completely untruthfully, "they'll just beat us economically", etc., I think miss the long held resentments Chinese hold against the West.
I am worried, and also pretty certain, that eventually, we will tangle. I'm not looking forward to it, like one would a desirous thing.
Meanwhile amongst other things, the Sumpreme Court is working on deciding the Heller case. No one has the guts to admit that the populace that would make up the militia, should not only be allowed to own handguns in D.C., but should BE ISSUED or allowed to buy M-14's, M-16's, SAWS, and that new one, the M-48.
If When they come, were going to need every stinking round that we can throw at them. How fast will we be able to gear up? I wonder if we could put uniforms on the backs of 2-3 million soldiers in the space of a few months, or six months, when the time comes. Thanks to Wall Street, the previous "corporate raiders", and all the rest of those others who would put the next quarterly report, before doing what would be best in the long run.
All the money a guy could ever want or have, won't do any fellow here a bit of good, if the Chinese just come and take it!
