Lot of occidental mainstream news report pacific manifestation and brutal repression by police/army in Lhasa. But foreign witness and pictures doesn’t correspond to these informations. Some picture of repression in Nepal was wrongly used as Lhasa pictures. Most violent rebellion against other civils, rebels lynching Hui muslims minorities and Han biggest nationality in China was censored by occidental news. What is the goal of these manipulation ? The confusion between this violent riots and habits of former bloody, slavery and theocratic Dalaï Lama and truly pacific Indians movements like non-violent democratic Gandhi is used to made a confusion in Occidental point of view on Asia. In Canada some Native Americans make pacific protest against European invasion and the destruction of their territory for 2010 Olympic games no mainstream media noticed this.
With this kind of information occidental newspaper discredit itself and give more confidence to chinese newspaper than themselves.
Here are some videos about the riots from several sources :
* Probably police surveillance camera taking street scene
* Amator camera
* Quiet police arrestation on Euronews “Nocomment”
* Full documentary of the event, about one week after by english speaking central Chinese canal, CCTV-9, showing an overview of the events PART I – PART II.
* Quick review of occidental fakes.
As long I was on Tibet plateau in September, I seen monks practicing freely their religion, and their high traditional medical knowledge. The Zang Tibetan writing and other Tibet minorities religions (Naxi Dongba, Hui Muslims), writing and languages was still used everywhere, on streets panels, on shops. Zang Tibetan is considered as one of the five main languages in China since several centuries, lot of old stone monuments, are writted in the 5 scripts (Han (national today chinese writing), Uigur (arabic script for turkophone languages), Mongol (specific writing), Tibetan (Indian script adapted to tibetan language) and Mandchou (mongol script adapted to mandchou language)), the first unification of Tibet and other part of China was under Mongolian Yuan dynasty government.
The actual occidental newspaper don’t give enough information to understand the situation, only show a stupid and Manichean view (the good and the bad) that no historian can accept. China give more deep information of the subject that give more clues to understand the problem. The source of the riots are probably more complex anyway. The west of the China don’t have the development of the East coasts, the incredibly fast growing of China started mostly in big ports like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hongkong and come slowly to the West.
The west development is not only on Tibet plateau, but on the whole west, from southwest of Yunnan, where Dai (thailand originated mostly bouddhists) minorities lives to Northwest of Xinjiang where leave Muslims turkophones Uigurs. Accusing central government of willing to conquest more the Tibet is totally stupid, which country have a government that don’t want to develop its whole area to facilitate communications and transportation ? If they don’t do that they will be accused to let these part of the country of poverty and anaphalbetism and if they do, of expansionism. This is not a military expansion, against minorities, as there is positive discrimination for minorities in China. There is no accusation against any ‘ethnic group’ as we call, they prefer to speak about nationalities. The independence, was done by English during their regional colonisation, including Irak, Iran, Afghanistan, India(actual India and Pakistan), Thailand, HongKong, and some other parts of China (as Beijing itself) at the beginning of the XXe century.
Mainland China and Taiwan
The chinese Guomindang party won the saturday elections in Taiwan island by more than 17% before the former Independentist party, continuing the two years started two parts of China reunification with special autonomous status for Taiwan. The flag of the Republic of China (official name of Taiwan island country), is the flag of the Guomindang, that controlled about the whole China until Mao and the liberation army (or 8-1) replace it to People Republic of China on mainland in 1949. The reunification is mostly for economic interest as biggest part of Taiwan exportation (about 30%) are to mainland and most of Taïwan products are manufactured in Mainland. The new president asked to mailand government to respect the tibetan protesters prisonners (mostly mens and women from about 20 to 30 years old after mainland gvt) else he will boycott the Olympic games. For Guomindang, Taiwan and mainland china (including Tibet) are one unique country. He didn’t recognised the Communist Chinese Party as mainland government untli few years ago.
A Guomindang representative already signed in april 2006 mutual agreement on import/export and reunification, I hazardously seen it in Yonghe gong Lama temple/monastery, the major Lama giving him the traditional tibetan scarf.
Taiwan is more Chinese traditionalist than mainland himself. They still use older Hanzi (han nationality characters), that was simplified in mainland and partially in Japan too.
