Great going ChinaBy: Vivek | Saturday , 14 Nov '09 4:01:08 AM Reply | Forward China's constant His-Holiness-the-Dalai-Lama-bashing has given him unprecedented press coverage. Chinese are really lemmings. They dont have any independent thought. Whatever the leading lemming does, the rest will follow. They actually think that the rest of the world are idiots & will buy their propaganda at face value :D His Holiness has emerged as the new age Gandhi. The world will see right through their lies & will take the Tibetan side. This will further advance the goals of Tibetans. Its high time our govt wakes up & de-recognizes Tibet as a legitimate part of PRC. Isn't it ironical that we allow a "govt in exile" to exist, yet recognize Tibet as part of China ? Enough of the bhai-bhai blunders.

Chinese Foreign Ministry losing sense of balanceBy: Anirban Mukherjee | Friday , 13 Nov '09 18:05:21 PM Reply | Forward The Chinese Foreign Ministry might think they are weaving a new Chinese puzzle with the intricacy of fine Chinese silk, but, in effect, their utterances are losing all sense of proportion and balance and, at this rate, will make Beijing the laughing stock of the international diplomatic circles. If it is their purpose to return to the path of the Buddha through the way of the Laughing Buddha though, then the diplomatic route may not be the right one. But then the Cultural Revolution might have left the Chinese with no cultural option to embrace at times of identity crisis, like the one China is evidently going through now, and the worldwide spree of setting up Confucius Institutes for learning the Chinese language that Beijing thinks will help propoagate Chinese culture are likely to prove a very poor way of showcasing the depth ofa culture that is more than 5000 years old. It might be better for China to leave Tibet to the Tibetans and look inwards to regain her lost identity.

india must wake upBy: krunal shekhar | Friday , 13 Nov '09 11:30:47 AM Reply | Forward Present chinese policy is just a glimpse of future which will witness more bullying from china in foreign policy. India must take an appropiate strong stand against china to curb the menace from growing. Whatever USA does to china is not important for us. today forbes has declared obama as world strongest man, with WHO Jin Tao as second. USA stand on dalai lama, will show who actually is first amongst worlds strongest man.If USA bows down to chinese pressure, it will change international politics drastically and unfortunately against countreis like india.

China's Tibetean Policy By: Jethinder Kumar | Friday , 13 Nov '09 0:27:26 AM Reply | Forward China continues its bullying tactics in dictating its policies to the world. When will China wake up to the reality of human rights and dignity of life? A reversal of China's intimidating policy towards the Dalai Lama and relatively weaker nations surrounding China will yield mutually beneficial and long term results. What is preventing China from waking up and smelling the coffee?

Dalai VS BarakBy: Antony Tauro | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 20:46:11 PM Reply | Forward It is sure a acid test for Barak Obama to prove that he is the Most suitable person on earth today to receive the Nobel Peace Award.

Today china ia a very very big monster for the world. If the world keep quite about it, then world will be swallowed by this monster in a course of time.
