Doshi: Are you shamed of yourself for spreading these lies in your article? Just because you keep spreading lies will not make your lies true! One of these days, more and more people will know the truth and see through your slave-master nature. Can you tell the world with a straight face that you are not from a slave master family? In 1959, China stoped your slavery society in Tibet and that was why you fled with your other slave master teh dalai lama.

Thank you Tenzin Doshi. It is strange how the Chinese react so defensively to the truth. If their position were right and true they would not react at all.

Thank you, Tenzin Doshi, for a well-researched, factually based editorial. Regardless of what people think about the Tibet/China conflict, your editorial provides a good showcase of a particular point of view. I hope that any future commentary for either side can also be conveyed in an intelligent, respectful way ("Dosh-is-a-liar" obviously failing to do so.)

Now let's correct a few things in Doshi's article. First, China di not occupy Tibet in 1959. The PRC took over Tibet about 10 years before 1959 (and Tibet has been part of China since the 1200s). The Dalai Lama was appointed the head of Tibet bu the PRC. In 1959, the Chinese wanted to stop the slavery system the Dalai Lama was running in Tibet, and that was why the Dalai Lama fled. No one forced the Dalai Lama to fled, he chose to do so.

Can you provide any record to back up your claim that "Since the struggles in the 1950s to the present day, over a million Tibetans have died at the hands of the Chinese,". The fact is that the entire Tibetan population in the 1950s was only about 1.5 million. If over 1 million died in the 1950s, how can there be several million Tibetans in Tibet today?

Do you know what you are talking about when you say "There has been a massive influx of Chinese settlers, threatening the integrity of the traditional Tibetan way of life.". The fact is that today 90% of the people in Tibet are ethnic Tibetans. Where is the massive influx of Chinese settlers?

Have you been to Tibet at all? I have been there 2 times. The people there have a much better life than when 90% of them were slaves under the rule of the Dalai Lama!

Dalai Lama and his aristocrates wanted to go back to the old feudal system and sought help from the CIA to realize their dreams. The US was only too willing to help destabilise PRC, and saw this as a wonderful opportunity to make use of the Tibetans to launch guerilla warfare while parachuting arms into China, and providing logistics and communications support. Then in the 1970's you were no longer useful, and US called off the support. Today US and the West again make use of the Dalai Lama to put pressure on China to slow down its economic growth. But a day will come, when you will again not be needed. There will then be no more White House or medals or Hollywood stars... Think about it Mr Doshi.

Its funny that you can clearly tell by the content of the comments who has been brainwashed by Chinese propaganda and who actually understands the complex and historical aspect of the Tibet situation. It is sad that so many Chinese do not understand the extent to which the Chinese government and authoritarian party have altered the history they have been taught. Hopefully someday you will take it upon yourselves to research the facts behind the Chinese occupation of Tibet and realize that much of what you have been taught consists of lies.

Hello,

I would like to encourage everyone here who was so critical of Tenzin to own their comments here and write a public response in the Mac Weekly so we can have a more transparent and constructive conversation.
