Truth about the Dalai Lama

China's propoganda mouthpiece the People's Daily offers this interesting account of the "truth" about the Dalai Lama.

Actually, the fact is quite simple. The Dalai Lama always pretends to be a religious, learned and merciful Buddhist leader who has experienced a lot of hardships but has strong will.

So the fact the Dalai Lama and millions of Tibetans were forced to flee Tibet after the Chinese invasion is all pretentious play-acting. China claims that it has tried to talk peace and tried to reconciliate with the Dalai Lama and his representatives, but in fact the Tibetans are "double faced":

Our patience and sincerity have become bargaining chips for him to continue his tricks in international communities, and has allowed him to create a false impression: as long as he can maintain contact with the Central Government, he will always be able to possess his "magic ability" for hurting China.

Therefore, the Dalai Lama has become much crazier and more insane. The collusion between the Dalai Lama and the U.S. government during the "Dalai Round" was nothing but another futile effort. For the Dalai Lama, it also exposed once again his plot of splitting the motherland and his true intention of selling the interests of China.

The role the Dalai Lama plays in the international community not only disappoints the Chinese, but also will bore people worldwide. The "political market" gained at the expense of ethnic groups and the nation will become more and more lonely and dangerous. Luckily, the current condition in Tibet gives the lie to the Dalai Lama's lack of imagination, and China and the world will learn the history and future of Tibet in a more realistic and objective way.

China however remains hopeful and conciliatory and offers an olive branch:

[...] we wish the Dalai Lama who is drifting away from his country can find his way back while he is still alive.

And in yet another "childish" bully-tactic, China has removed official accreditation of the University of Calgary after the Canadian university granted the exiled Tibetan leader an honours degree:

The Canada Tibet Committee (CTC) has denounced the delisting, saying the Chinese regime “chooses to bully rather than reason in order to resolve differences.”

“That a foreign power should be so out of touch as to believe that they can intimidate a Canadian university through such tactics would be even more astonishing if it were not the Chinese government doing the intimidating,” said CTC Executive Director Dermod Travis in a statement.

The decision to delist the University of Calgary is only the latest illustration of the authoritarian measures that the Chinese government will attempt to export to Western democracies unless we make it abundantly clear that we will not be bullied by authoritarian regimes in our own countries"

Ridiculous that a dictatorship and self-acclaimed world-power thinks it can behave in such a manner. I wonder why China does not de-recognise Canada or boycott the city of Paris for giving the Dalai Lama honarary citizenship....
