If the middle way policy is really a mask to independence, why would the Dalai Lama unveil that mask so that everyone including China knows about his plan? I believe that the TYC opposes everything that the Dalai Lama and CTA says and acts because they are not able to understand it logically how each of their actions are bringing the Tibetans a step nearer to the independence of Tibet?
Yes, the fingers might be pointed at the TYC now for being the cause of the delay in independence, but is it really true that without them opposing, Tibet would have gained independence?
I feel that if Dalai Lama really wishes to return back to Tibet, he should take China government's advice and act when it is appropriate. This is so especially for the part on revoking religious governmental policies.
