See what Lobsang Sangay's politics have landed HH Dalai Lama in...
From THE TRITON Independent, student-run news source for the University of California, San Diego:
On Thursday morning, students and faculty received an email from Chancellor Pradeep Khosla announcing the 14th Dalai Lama as this year’s all-campus commencement speaker. As part of his first stop in his U.S. tour, the Dalai Lama will speak at a public event on June 16 then the commencement on the 17th.
Almost immediately, the Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA) on campus made a statement against the University’s decision on both its Facebook page and official account on WeChat, a popular messaging app used among Chinese students. Other campus groups, Chinese Student Association (CSA) and Chinese Business Society (CBS), made joint statements with CSSA within hours.
Translated from the original, CSSA posted that the group “strongly objects any behavior of spreading inflammatory, politically offensive speech which slanders and belittles Chinese history, proceed to influence China’s international image with unknown motivation.” It asserted that “all behaviors which disgrace politics and history under the flag of spreading religious freedom are carried with intricate motivation and cannot be tolerated, no matter what background they are put into.”
CSSA reached out to the Consulate General in Los Angeles yesterday, according to its WeChat announcement.
