When it comes to China's Territorial Integrity, Our National Unity, and Chinese Unification - we are truly willing to bear any cost, with any regard for life or death. Even five hundred million casualties on our own side would be completely meaningless, next to our Country Territorial Integrity.
Never doubt or question our resolve.

Reply to this commentTibet belongs to Tibetans and the shameful Chinese government and the Chinese people who have benefited from Tibetans losing their culture, freedom, homes and lives are disgusting. Tibetan culture is so beautiful and respectful and China has done everything it can to destroy it. what beauty is there in a nation that has to force it's will on others to show how big and important it is. Nobody cares China! we just want you to stop destroying things! For a country who's main contribution to the world is, destruction, pollution, human rights offenses, opression and mass production of junk, they could do with being a little less sanctimonious, and that goes for all of you generic, brainwashed 'Chinese Nationalists'

Reply to this commentThis is yet another clear example of the lack of freedom of religion in Tibet. The Chinese authorities prohibit Tibetans from building religious shrines & "mani stones." China also limits the number of monks and decides who can be in a monastery depending on their political beliefs or reverence for HH the Dalai Lama. Is it any wonder Tibetans want freedom from China?

Reply to this commentChina's Tibet is no business of the Hegemonic Americans.
Neither is China's Xinjiang and China's Taiwan Province.
USA Stay Out of China's Sovereign Affairs!

I find it extremely ironic that Driru should be the most troublesome county in the TAR today. Driru after all is the home turf and birthplace of the most powerful Tibetan official of the last 35 years. Raidi rose from Driru to be Party Secretary of Nagchu and in the process created his own powerful Nagchu faction within the Tibet Communist Party. Following promotion to Lhasa, he skillfully deployed his faction members throughout the region's Party and Government structure. Gradually he took on the persona of a Boss Tweed operating behind the scenes providing advice and direction to TAR non-Tibetan Party Secretaries who were inexperienced in the ways of Tibet. 76 year old Raidi's finger prints are all over the policies and decisions of the last several decades. Even after Raidi retired in 2003 he continued to hold the ear of Hu Jintao but apparently no so under Xi Jinping. Raidi spends the summer months in his luxury Lhasa home (the rest of the year in Beijing or Chengdu where he also has homes), but in the past two years, to the best of my knowledge, this "son of Driru" has not been allowed to visit Driru perhaps for fear of making things worse. When trouble first broke out in Driru, members of Raidi's Nagchu faction were dispatched back there to put out the fires, but they failed miserably and were quickly replaced by senior Tibetan speaking Han officials some of whom were "second generation" officials born and raised in Tibet. They so far have a mixed report card and no ready solutions as this report suggests.
