By all means, let us be as kind as we can to the Neo-Monarchists ruining China. They are, after all, socialists at heart, right?

Here is the truth. The Muslims and other immigrants in Tibet were brought to Tibet by Despoilers in Beijing in an effort to dilute and marginalize Tibetan culture and religion. Today the goal is the homogenization of China. Tomorrow it will be the homogenization of the world per specifications established in Beijing. Eventually, ALL clocks the world over will be set to Beijing time. All the world will one day bow to the Middle Kingdom.

This is the goal of the Neo-Monarchsts residing in Beijing make no mistake about it. Doest this make them 'Neo-Cons, Tonny?

It does make them despicable, I know that.

ahhh...with the olymics just around the corner..perfect time for the Tibetans to mount such a campain. the only problem i see with independent movements is they seem to be racially or culturely based, marginalizing those of the populace that arent of the same culture or race.

RE:'I'll gladly side with the tibetans in their fight for independance .'

Again we find ourselves in agreement.

RE:'As for neo-conservatism dear noharness,that is a US domestic product ,involving the US unilateral world domination most of all,you can see it practised by Bush in smearing the UN,trying to impose it's will on every country .'

True, the 'neo-cons' really are an American product. One of which I am not too terribly proud or enamored. On the other hand, they do have a great deal in common with the neo-monarchists in Beijing. Both groups originated on the left, then suddenly made a hard right turn. Neither of them have ever given up on their core beliefs nor their rather aggressive agendas.

RE:'There is plenty evidence for all of that.Better avoid confusing the debate,sear noharness.Accusing China of some form of monarchism is another example.You might want to consult the dictionaries on that .'

I call like I see 'em, Tonny. Russia is a 'neo-monarchist' state as well now, only it has overtones of the old Samurai order that once ruled Japan. You should learn to note similarities. They are very often more important than the differences.

Have you not noticed that the Bushbaby seldom says anything bad about the Chinese government? Oh, sure, he pays to lip-service to 'human rights' in China, but what does he DO about it? Nothing.

It's ironic when you do a bit of digging and then pause to do some thinking. You are being screwed in the name of socialism supported by 'kinder and gentler markets'. I and my countrymen are being screwed in the name of 'Capitalism' and 'Free Markets.' We are both being lied to.

Mercantilism is ruining the world, Tonny. In some ways, both of us are 'has beens.'

As a Tibetan I am happy to see the arrogant, igorant and sometimes racist comments written by some of the Chinese commentators in many of the blogs.

Imagine if you were a Tibetan in Tibet and the only information that you read were from people like that. Now if you have the appetite multiply this by atleast 10 times because I am sure this is the commentators diluted version.

I recently tried to share Tibetan perspective on some of the Chinese blogs and it got immediately taken out or deleted. It shows how afraid they are to hear different opinions.

Tibetans do not hate Chinese people. Simply put Tibetans want freedom.
