Technically, India considers Tibet to be a part of China - so it's no choice at all.
If the Indian government had any brains, it would quietly use the Tibet issue to prompt the Chinese to stop supporting the jihadist states of Pakistan and Bangladesh. Chinese acceptance of Indian hegemony in the subcontinent should be the price for Indian acceptance of Han hegemony in Tibet. |

The problem is India has no leverage on China. Whether or not India accepts Han Hegemony in Tibet is irrelevant because it can't do anything about it even if it doesn't. |

I would say the Indian govt is acting just. India has respect towards the Dalai Lama, but that should not put itself into trouble. Interfering into the internal affairs of the all powerful China might result an armed conflict. In such a situ, Pukistan would immediately find an opportunity to join hands with China to cause heavy losses to our homeland. Better stay away and adhere to our principle of "no-first-use". Besides Pukistan, Bangladesh and Nepal too have strong ties with China. These are potentil threats for any anti-chinese move by India.

1 You are stupid to say the least. Did you see china, Bangladesh and Nepal supporting Pakistan militarily during Kargil conflict. On issue of Tibet, China is on backfoot and India does have lot of leverage when it comes to Tibet. India can make China hell using Tibet. India gave china bloody nose in all the skirmishes post 1962 war. Read little bit of history. |
||||
I'm sorry but you need the one that need to have some historical lessons. It seems that the Indians have a covered up version of their border skirmish with the Chinese back in the 1960s. Read it up on any third party neutral source and you'll see that the Indians were outmanuvered and routed in the skirmish. It was a pretty big embarassment to the Indians and it's kinda surprising you are bringing it up and touting it as a victory somehow. Since you say the Indians have alot of leverage please point out some of them, otherwise I'll have to conclude you are speaking out your rear as usual. |

China and India will be the next big superpowers in Asia and the world. They will be the best of friends after they settle their disputes. The world will have to treat these two Asian powers with more respects with their coming economic and scientific/technological advances.

Contributions,
You should use your eyes instead of your ass. I never said India won 1962 war however India won every skirmish after 1962. It is a fact that you chinese don't know. Your govt. is known for hiding facts..We all can see how it is hiding facts in Tibet. Go learn history from non-chinese sources. |

Before 1970s,China = ROC.
China have never invaded anyone. |

Really? Study your history China has thousand years of fighting each other. Then Qin Shi Huang beat all and unified China, Look at the map of Qin Dynasty to see how big China was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qin_Dynasty Map of the Han Dynasty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Han Then Jin Dynasty (265–420) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Jin_Dyna... Then Tang (Tibet was still not included) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang_Dynasty Song http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_Dynasty Ming (Tibet was still not included but instead Vietnam was invaded) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_Dynasty Until Qing Dynasty, Tibet was included as a territory China then invaded all the neighbors to expand its land until what you see today. China invaded Mongolia, East Turkestan .... The last one was Sino-Vietnam war. oh, i forgot. In 1974 China sunk 3 Vietnamese navy ship and took over Paracels. In 1988, they sunk 2 more ship and took over about 9 islands from Vietnamese China also claims the disputed land Kashmir! Wow, China is so nice and peaceful! |

I think what he is saying is that PRC hasn't invaded anyone in its 50 yrs or so of history. Has it occupied any area tha is not promised to it by the UN? All of the terriotry it has was inherited from the ROC which included Tibet. So really, all PRC did was to replace the government of ROC in the region as the only legal representative of the teirrtory that is belonged to China. In essense, it is a transfer of power like from Democrat to Republican excpet in a more violent but neverthe less legal manner.
Now if you have a problem with the current land distribution should bitch to the ROC government in taiwan and settle the score with them. As to the agreement, it was signed with British and Russia. |

Come on HIV, we haven't had a true discussion about the land ownership of Tibet yet. Are you avoiding me? I am calling you out, let us talk about it. What is your bases of claim and proof that Tibet was a country? Do you know who the recognized soverign is before Dalai Lama? Who was the founding leader? Lets establish that cliam once and for all with some historic proof. Afterall, can't hand Tibet over to a soverign without any legal claim right.

1 The Olympic torch was lit recently in China, but it isn't the torch the Chinese people wanted. Their torch was held aloft by their statue of the Goddess of Liberty, the one that they built. That torch was torn down, and the people were attacked and killed or jailed by the "People's" army in Tiananmen square in 1989. Young adults in China today know nothing of this, because the Chinese government propaganda machine has vilified the hundred thousand patriots who demonstrated for freedom that day, and dismissed them as a few anti-social hooligans. This process is, of course, taking place today in China, only it is currently directed against the Tibetan demonstrators and the Dalai Lama. If the Tiananmen Square demonstrators had been successful in reforming the Chinese government, I doubt if there would have been the demonstrations in Tibet, because the people of Tibet would probably have had far fewer grievances. You can see a photo of the "Goddess of Liberty" and read about the Tiananmen Square massacre on Wikipedia- just Google: Wikipedia Tiananmen Square Massacre Now the Chinese government, run by the very same people who conducted the Tiananmen Square Massacre and then lied about it, asks us to believe that the pacifistic Buddhist monks of Tibet are preparing to become suicide bombers. I see that Hu Jintao has been swotting up on Mein Kampf by Adolph Hitler, with particular attention to "The Big Lie." Read all about it by Googling: Wikipedia the big lie . Joseph Goebbels, head of the Nazi Propaganda ministry, wrote the following in an article dated 18 March 1939, "As the Führer finished his proclamation to the German (sic) at 5 a.m. an historical decision had taken place. Shortly after, radio stations told the world that the historic provinces of Bohemia and Moravia had returned to the federation of the Greater German Reich. State President Hacha himself had asked the Führer to assume the protection of these provinces, noting that he 'was confidently placing the fate of the Czech people and nation in the hands of the Führer of the German Reich.' The so-called Czecho-Slovakia ceased to exist. In a single night a nation vanished that in reality had never been a nation." Sound familiar? Maybe a little like Chinese government pronouncements that Tibet is and always has been part of China? Those representatives of other governments that hasten to reassure the Chinese government that they agree remind me of Neville Chamberlain, as well. "Peace in our time!" Unless, of course, you happen to be Czechoslovakian, or Tibetan. Doesn't the Chinese government say that Taiwan is also part of China? I wonder just how long "our time" is, anyway. I'm sure the Taiwanese must wonder, and if Indians aren't wondering how long it will be until they are on the tiger's menu, they should be. Oh, that's right, they are safe because India is appeasing China by knuckling under on the Chinese Tibetan line. Right. That worked will for the British with Hitler, didn't it? |

It is all about game, political game. don't be blinded by the beautiful words of some stake - holding people and stake - holding media.
Leave this kind of discussion. don't be obsessing. The tibet issue is a game played by all different political powers, organizations and interested people. Don't believe in any of them. if you have money, buy a ticket to travel to China to see the real tibet. Then you could understand what truth means. |

To HIV,
Is the increasing of Chinese territory means we invaded other countries? Using your logic, there was no country called Germany 300 years ago.Did one of them invaded all its neighbors to become Germany? Actually, you can also find that the enlargement of Chinese territory happened during Yuan and Qing dynasty are all caused by invasion from other ethnics(Mongolia or Man people). After that they adopted the Chinese culture, they become Chinese and their land was also integrated to China. To Tim Duun, Did you ever talk to a Chinese youth about 1989 Tiananmen massacre? Most( if not all) Chinese people know what happened there. In your comment you showed great ignorance of Chinese society. I guess you are sure that Chinese government are new Nazi and Chinese people are all brain-washed. They only things that can bring us happiness are freedom and democracy,right? |

Well Kabeer, lemme b stupid. Thank gudness, am not stupid enuf like u to disagree the facts. These nations did not support Pukistan openly in the Kargil conflict but no body could deny China's military weaponry aids to Pakistan and that is what I meant by support. Pakistan.. was supported with Nuclear fuel, technology and weapons by China in every war that they waged with India. If U really know history, The so called "Aksai Chin" was ceded by Pukistan to China as a sign of Good Will. China and Pukistan were and are always allies against their common enemy. Look at the foreign relations of Bangladesh w.r.t. China and India. Bangladesh has got record level trade (in Billions of $) with China and would not love to forbid that for India. India. Nepal, I accept that it has neutral relations with both India and China. In 1962, India might have given a bloody nose to China, but almost lost 2 limbs(which is a way too heavy loss). Only after such an annoying defeat did Military expenditure boost up. India could match China one on one, but considering the combined effort of China and the butcher Pukistan, India will be no match. FYI, I am patriot Tamil, Indian but my Patriotism does not overshadow my common sense in understanding and analysing the truths -Paayum Puli (Pouncing Tiger) |
