Pan-Aryanism's dark future

De-demonising China

The Chinese Embassy attempted to redress the Tibetan balance last year – not that any UK paper published it...

The "Free Tibet Campaign" stresses that the UK is the only country that does not recognise Chinese sovereignty over Tibet. The records tell that Britain is the only country that had invaded China’s Tibet!

Tibet, or Tubo, began to develop close relations with central dynasties in China from 640, and formally became a part of China after Kublai Khan, founder of the Yuan dynasty, united China in 1279. China has continued to exercise sovereignty over Tibet ever since.

The myth of "Tibetan independence" is the product of British invasion of Tibet. The most powerful empire of the 19th century knocked open the door of China’s Tibet through two invasions in 1888 and 1904. During the second invasion, British troops killed 4-5,000 Tibetans and looted and burned down many lamaseries.

Britain redoubled its efforts thereafter in cultivating pro-British forces in Tibet and instigating "Tibetan independence", taking advantage of China’s weak central authority after the Democratic Revolution of 1911. The British side tried hard to press the so-called "Simla Convention" on China, recognising China’s suzerainty over Tibet only.

Some ABC knowledge of Tibet:

A) Before 1959, Tibet had long been a society languishing under a system of feudal serfdom under the despotic religion-political rule of lamas and nobles...Numerous facts have illustrated how the old Tibet under the Dalai Lama’s rule was darker and crueller than the European serfdom in the Middle Ages. It is not only ridiculous but also despicable for those people to describe a restoration of this system and all its practices as keeping its "traditional culture" and respecting human rights there.

B) China is a multi-ethnic country with 56 nationalities. Tibetan is one of the minority ethnic groups, numbering about five million in total throughout China...Another fallacy is the claim that a large number of Hans have migrated to Tibet, turning the Tibetans into a minority. The fact is that the Han population in Tibet is small but quite limited.

C) The freedom of religious belief is fully respected and protected in Tibet as elsewhere in China.

(goes on to make point that the Dalai Lama announced the 11th Panchen Lama against the ways of "Buddhist doctrine," against "historical conventions", against "long-established Tibetan Buddhist ritual" and against "the wishes of the 10th Panchen Lama.")

Great changes have taken place in all aspects of Tibet since the Democratic reform in 1959...It seems really painful for some to see the poverty and backwardness of old Tibet disappearing. It is absurd and totally inhuman to attempt to keep Tibet as an anthropologist…
