    Chinese ambassador says Dalai Lama is 'lying'


    1 hour ago

    OTTAWA (AFP) — China's ambassador to Canada on Wednesday accused the Dalai Lama of "lying" to the West and his inner circle of being behind protests in Lhasa that have turned violent.

    "The Dalai Lama has been telling lies to the world for decades to make the Western public believe that what he says, whatever he says, is truth. It's wrong," Ambassador Lu Shumin told reporters.

    "He advocates for so-called peaceful demonstrations, non-violence ... but have you seen anything he has done in that direction?"

    The ambassador accused the Dalai Lama of "pretending to be a peaceful, like an angel-type of figure." But, he added, "What has happened in Tibet was instigated by separatist groups led by Dalai Lama clique."

    Ambassador Lu pointed to alleged Internet postings late last year by Tibetan separatist groups "closely linked" to the Tibetan government-in-exile in India warning of the protests in March.

    His torrent of criticism came as world leaders press Beijing for restraint in the violence in Tibet that, according to Tibet's government-in-exile, has claimed 140 dead, as well as the need for consultation with representatives of the Dalai Lama.

    Talks between the Chinese authorities and the Dalai Lama's envoys were suspended since the summer of last year.

    Ambassador Lu said: "The door is always open to the Dalai Lama for dialogue ... as long as he gives up his idea of Tibet independence and stops these activities and also recognizes Tibet is part of China and Taiwan is part of China."

    Lu then went on to challenge China's critics, saying its control of Tibet had actually established respect for human rights, and likening Tibet previously to "resembling life in medieval Europe."

    He pointed out a German expedition that visited Lhasa in 1939 to study Tibetan ways and see if they fit into the Nazi worldview.

    "You will see the change (since then), and you will see ... who is working for the protection and improvement of human rights and who is not," Lu said.

    The time will come where the evil commie China will be destroyed. It is inevitable. The US will lead the way. It will be an easier defeat than the US vs China in basketball.

    hahaha, you give me a good laugh every time I read your comments. Thank you.
    So, you suggest to ban someone who voices out his view about how democracy is working in one country and what kind of democracy should another country take? This is comic irony at its best.

    Not to mention your other single minded tirades.

    I think you meant "simple-mided". Seriously, he is probably even embarrassing the people who agree with him. :D

    Statement of H.H. the Dalai Lama on March 10, 2008

    This year, the Chinese people are proudly and eagerly awaiting the opening of the Olympic Games. I have, from the very beginning, supported the idea that China should be granted the opportunity to host the Olympic Games. Since such international sporting events, and especially the Olympics, uphold the principles of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, equality and friendship, China should prove herself a good host by providing these freedoms. Therefore, besides sending their athletes, the international community should remind the Chinese government of these issues. I have come to know that many parliaments, individuals and non-governmental organisations around the globe are undertaking a number of activities in view of the opportunity that exists for China to make a positive change. I admire their sincerity. I would like to state emphatically that it will be very important to observe the period following the conclusion of the Games. The Olympic Games no doubt will greatly impact the minds of the Chinese people. The world should, therefore, explore ways of investing their collective energies in producing a continuous positive change inside China even after the Olympics have come to an end.

    "Democracy" and "freedom" are merely codewords for Western imperialism.

    Any self respecting American will not tolerate these statements, especially coming from brainwashed commies whose spazed-out insane government has to babysit everything they read or think when it is not flat out lying to them.

    I've got some examples for you. Iraq, Palestinian Authority, Afghanistan, Lebanon. New "democracies" in the Middle East central to Bush's spread "freedom and democracy" in the Middle East strategy. Now look at how they have turned out. Iraq and Afghanistan have become failed American puppet states whose governments obey the Americans and have alienated their own people, and they have little real power. The PA has become a impoverished sack of crap because it elected Hamas. Because the government refused to knuckle under, it is now being punished by the West, even though the government was democratically elected. Lebanon's government is deadlocked and is completely paralyzed because again the West refuses to let Hezbollah fairly participate in government, even though it was elected to a large bloc in the government.

    4 examples of American-created democracies, 4 failures, 4 demonstrations of what happens when American imperialism descends on a country. I repeat what I said: "democracy" and "freedom" are merely codewords for Western/American imperialism.

    I haven't even gotten to what the US did during the Cold War in the name of "freedom."

    you mixed that with another poster, therack06. I don't think you can differentiate or care though. They are all commies to you. So, don't further embarrass yourself.

    That's because their brainwashing by Islam is worse than even China. Well maybe it's a tie.

    Hmmm, resistance based on fanatical religious belief? Somehow that sounds familiar.
