THE DALAI LAMA AND CHINA: DISPUTE / CONFLICT RESOLUTION OR JUST TALK?
Posted by Site Staff on Saturday April 26, 2008
Ashwini Bhatia of the Associated Press reports today that China offered to meet with the Dalai Lama’s envoy to discuss issues between Tibet and itself regarding Tibetian independence and recent violence in that region of the world.
The Dalia Lama stated, ”we need to have serious talks about how to reduce the Tibetan resentment within Tibet”. The spiritual leader commented, ”but just mere meeting with some of my men in order to show the world that they are having dialogue, then it is meaningless”.
China then for some odd reason commenced verbal attacks on the Dalai Lama. It is believed by many that China’s latest offer involves positioning itself for the coming Beijing Olympic Games.
This newsletter’s point for the supplement is that good faith and earnest reasons for requesting Lama/China talks are of the utmost importance. If China is simply placing itself in a position of trying to look good by feigning a serious interest in resolution of the
present dispute which could escalate into a conflict then that is not good.
Let us all hope that, in fact, China’s representatives do in good faith meet with the Dalai’s Lama’s envoy to begin communications which lead to furthering peace.
