| A: The Dalai Lama is not merely a religious figure. Rather, he is a political exile who has long been engaged in activities aimed at splitting China and undermining national unity. He has organized armed forces, engaged in violent activities and instigated disturbances.
The Old Tibet under the rule of the 14th Dalai Lama had long been a society of feudal serfdom under the despotic theocratic rule of lamas and nobles; a society darker and crueler still than that of European serfdom in the Middle Ages. Serf-owners exerted savage and cruel punishment, such as gouging out eyes, cutting off ears, hands or feet, and pulling out tendons of their serfs. The Dalai Lama fled abroad because he opposed reform of this backward and inhuman feudal serfdom, whereby serfs might live as fee human beings rather than being regarded as mere chattel. Giving him the title of "human rights guardian" makes a travesty of the whole concept of human rights.
Since fleeing abroad, the Dalai Lama has established the "government-in-exile," organized armed forces and engaged in terrorist activities, and in the 1980s he also instigated riots in Tibet, causing enormous damage to and loss of local property. In recent years he has also violated religious rituals and historical conventions, having sabotaged the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama. In the light of all this, it is absurd to make such a person "winner of the Nobel Peace Prize" and "advocate of non-violence." The Chinese government firmly opposes any foreigners that use the Dalai to interfere in China's internal affairs, and opposes any action aimed at splitting China. | |
