I've just been reading the White Paper issued by the Chinese government on May 23 2004 and, you know, it just makes me so furious.
For a while I thought it really was getting better. I thought maybe Tibet might really have a chance to get its freedom back from China and then you read in the newspapers about the threats they make against Taiwan and then something like the White Paper comes out.
FYI, the White Paper, according to the Students for A Free Tibet, outlines China's "policies on Tibetan regional ethnic autonomy and attacked the Dalai Lama's vision of autonomy for Tibet".
I've been reading it just now and it just doesn't make sense! Where's the evidence to back up the facts that Tibetans enjoy freedom right now? Where's the evidence that Tibet was a feudal serfdom that tortued its people? If anything, I think all that eye-gouging and pulling out tendons began when China invaded Tibet. If Tibetan people enjoy freedom then why are there so many Tibetans seeking refuge from Tibet ever since the invasion? Why are Amnesty International so concern with what's going on there? How come there are so many political prisoners in Tibet? If there are so many of them doesn't that mean that there's something wrong with the current political system?
Furthermore, don't you think there's something wrong if the people you claim are enjoying freedom are revolting and demanding their freedom and their country's freedom? What is it about some people who just have to impose their ideas on others? Look, if they don't want you around, then leave them alone! Not everyone shares the same ideas that you do! Let these people live their lives according to the way they want already! It's their life! Not yours!
It just makes me want to cry because a lot of people are going to be reading that paper and it made just be effective in hiding the fact that there ARE people suffering and that they are very far from liberated in Tibet. And it should not be like that. It should not be like that. If you have any doubts of the truth of this, go read my paper (go through the Portal to Darkschunt on the sidebar and to my Tibetan page)! I'm sorry if this is getting a little heavy but this really cannot be allowed to happen. And it makes me sad to see the world like this. I feel disappointed. A lot of things I've seen are really awful, but just reading this brings it home to me again just how much suffering is going on in the world. And...can anything be done about this? When will it all stop? When will people stop doing this?
