The Dolli Lama uses the term 'Demographic Aggression' to describe
the Chinese brining in 6000 or so Chinese people a day to Tibet. I'm
going to start using that term more.
Another thing the Dolli Lama seems to have learned is that Tibet's
policy of isolationism has hurt the Buddhist or autonomy effort of that
territory. He acknowledges that the internet and communication with the
outside world and China itself have helped the effort far more than it
has hurt.
A tour of journalists last week to prove how harmonious the
relationship between China and Tibet had become was interrupted by
several weeping monks complaining about oppression and the loss of
basic freedoms. Ah, irony. Sometimes the thigh taste is sweet. I fear
that China will annihilate Tibet or at least the part of the population
China does not like, after the Olympics.
People are calling for boycott of Chinese goods. There are a few
calls for boycotting the Olympics. I say "Good luck with that."
Everything is made in China, or part of it is made in China. So it
seems.
India is pissed at the Dolli Lama over India's relationship with
China. I'm going to have to sit down and add the population of India
and China together and figure out just how many people of the world are
upset with the spiritual leader.
Some worry that the Tibetan community may take a p[age or two from
the Palestinian play book. There have not been many Tibet based
terrorists. China and others worry about subside bombers. and the like.
Right now people including several celebrities have a special place in
their hearts regarding Tibet. Anything like this starts and all that
will fade like a puff of smoke. I'm quite neutral on the subject at the
moment. That will flip on a dime if one terrorist action happens. They
will make my list.
