China: Countries urged to see 'true face' of Dalai Lama

Countries urged to see 'true face' of Dalai Lama

By Qin Jize (China Daily)

Updated: 2008-03-26 07:10

Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang yesterday again urged the international community to see the Dalai Lama's "true face" and offer no support for his secessionist activities.

Qin made the remarks in response to US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's recent call for China to consider a new policy to address the Tibet issue and to start talks with the Dalai Lama.

US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi also visited the Dalai Lama last week.

Qin said the position of just a few countries did not represent that of the international community.

More than 100 nations have expressed their support and understanding of the Chinese government's attitude to protecting the lives and property of its citizens from violent riots, he said.

Qin said the central government's policy toward the Dalai Lama is consistent and explicit, saying it not only listens to what he says but, more importantly, observes what he does.

China yesterday also criticized a British newspaper's report that linked the Beijing Olympics with the Berlin Games of 1936, saying the story is an insult to Chinese citizens and to the people of the world.

A report published in the British newspaper the Sunday Times said China is holding the Olympics for the same reason Adolf Hitler did in 1936, as an opportunity to collect accolades.

Qin said the Beijing Olympics is a magnificent sports meeting, and people from all nations have expressed their wishes to use it as an opportunity to enhance global understanding, friendship and cooperation.

"The Olympic torch symbolizes humankind's noble ideals and beautiful aspirations," Qin said.

" It also casts light on the gloomy mentality of some people, which will help the common people see their true face," he said.

"The Beijing Olympic Games must be a success with all the efforts made by the people of the

Funny, I scrolled through this thread, and the only ones I see citing Wiki on this thread are you and kipita.

If you're going to throw a grenade, make sure you pull the pin first.

The Wikipedia comment was in reference to one of his previous responses suggesting that Wikipedia was something only he knew about.

Hate? That is the silliest thing I’ve been accused of yet.

It's the standard response from the totalitarian mindset. Dems love shrieking HATE! to try and stifle discussion when they've lost the debate. So do ChiComs, apparently.

Yet you and kipita are the ones citing Wiki here.

Like I said. Make sure your grenades can't get thrown back at you before you throw them.

This following (comment #4) was my only relevant comment on this thread....

I tend to think the Dalai Lama are to Tibetans and a better life in Tibet as a part of China as Black preachers are to Black America and a better local life in the greater America. It's no wonder the Democratic elite love the Dalai Lama.

And when asked why do I think this way I gave comment 22. The rest is being drawn into an argument that is pointless because all sides live far below the quality of life in the West.

Yeah, well, this comment of yours speaks volumes about your totalitarian mindset:

My personal opinion is that both of you represent the same programmed mindset, you both are charging at flags based on hate. At first is was the Europeans, next the Indians, then Africans followed by Communist, Bin Laden and brown skin people and now the Chinese.

Last I checked, Communism was responsible for the deaths of roughly 70+ million people. Yet the West, in your view, is engaging in mindless, irrational hate for being opposed to such. And then you treat bin Laden as some kind of other irrational Western bogeyman.

Which makes you no different than the looney American libs that FR opposes every day of the week. Same crap, different continent.

Again, in comment #22, I addressed that issue. From the perspective of many Taiwanese friends (again, comment #22 which reflects pre-Civil War China), the West is simple to understand, first religion then gunpowder. So the counter argument would be how many people has religion killed in the history of mankind?

In addition, being in Europe, most people want to know why Americans hate people who have been different than them throughout its history and until today. When one tries to explain the complexities most people don't understand "shades of gray" and would rather if things were explained in a "black and white" sort of way. I tend to think "black and white" explanations are a thing of the past and gray complexities are the future. So I've analyzed and criticized China, Taiwan, the Dalai Lama, US presidential politics, black America and "black and white analysis" but the black side of issues will say I'm on the white side and the white side will probably say I'm on the black side so I tend the think the best solution is for black and white to continue to kill each other forever and I'll still be gray, living in a gray society in southern Spain in peace.

The Dalai Lama is no more a “threat” to China ... than Ghandi was a “threat” to England.

Well, last I checked, Christianity has largely outgrown that. Meanwhile, the new religion of the hard left, totalitarian communism, killed last century on a scale not seen before in human history.

I'll still be gray, living in a gray society in southern Spain in peace.

And living under the US NATO defense umbrella. Where you can live in deliberate, abject ignorance as you spew derision and invectives at the country that made a peaceful Europe possible. Typical lame lefty.

Actually, minus many Dixiecrats, I defend American conservatives as I tend to think they made the world a better place. But I think the Republican party is infested with Dixiecrats and true American conservatives represent about 10% of Americans but they are usually marginalized and somewhat powerless based on votes. Of course most of my European friends are convinced I’m really here working for the CIA and gathering intelligence. I guess if I were “smart” I’d say “yea man, I ain’t nothin but a poo black man from Nawlins who dem dam white racist Americans treated like an animal so...” But I’ll remain gray and blame the problems of black Americans on black Americans and the problems of conservative Americans on Dixiecrats.

Ah, so you post an old Eisenhower speech. Please tell us how that changes the fact that you have engaged in hypocritical America bashing as you gloat about 'peaceful' Europe. Peaceful only because of the American mindset that you find so offensive.

the problems of conservative Americans on Dixiecrats.

Really. Dixiecrats made Ronald Reagan's presidency possible. Of course, you and your pro-Chicom mindset probably sees that as a bad thing, given that he was largely responsible for the global demise of communism. So I can see why you don't like Dixiecrats.

I would put your percentage of 'true American conservatives' (i.e., Paultards) at about four percent of the electorate. And they are a scourge on the electorate with their antiwar idiocy.

“Peaceful only because of the American mindset that you find so offensive.”

Europeans have adopted many aspects of the American mindset. Americans are adopting many aspects of old Europe.

“Really. Dixiecrats made Ronald Reagan’s presidency possible.”

Wow, my first post on FR and I’ve learned so much since then that it seems as through it was 10 years ago...

Reagan Democrats are still Democrats and it was Reagan’s “grayness” that made him so great. Moreover, I’ve never in any of my statements promoted communism. I simply think communism is one of the worst forms of government. But the Dalai Lama has said that he’s half Buddist/half Communist.

Quoting you - Reagan was a “moderate” after all and Osama Bin Laden is a “victim of White racism.”

You are truly a very unique a troll; pro-liberal/pro-terrorist/pro-ChiCom. A trifecta - in other words.

Reagan was gray? That's a real laffer. He was black and white about communism and core conservative values.

Please, go find some quant tapas in your beloved peaceful Spanish countryside and go discuss this with the patrons there. They will fall for your nonsense. All you are doing is annoying us with your nonsensical hypocritical idiocy.

But you said earlier that Dixiecrats were the problem in the Republican Party. Please make up your mind.

Reagan simply inspired people to be better individuals and was committed to the human condition, which is why he wanted to end communism. One only has to compare Eastern Europe to Western Europe to understand the evils of communism. Osama Bin Laden has no meaning in my life and I can't understand why he means anything to anyone.

A trifecta - in other words.

Now there's a word that any horse racing fan like myself loves to hear.

That does not make him 'gray'. Far from it, at the time, he was pitch black in his opposition to communism and his desire to end it. Most of the establishment at the time thought communism was either inevitable or should be appeased. Few thought it could be halted in our lifetimes.

You really just are spewing nonsense. Best to stop digging that hole you are in any deeper.

However, in your earlier post that I referred to, you wrote this: My personal opinion is that both of you represent the same programmed mindset, you both are charging at flags based on hate. At first is was the Europeans, next the Indians, then Africans followed by Communist, Bin Laden and brown skin people and now the Chinese.

Listen, the US is morally, financially, spiritually going to her lowest levels in history and there are no leaders, the family unit is disintegrating and the only thing America had that other countries didn’t have was the quality of life, which Scandinavia has quickly surpassed America.


Your revisionist post gets 5 Pinocchios (the max. possible score), ChiCom.
