Tibetans refugees in Switzerland to become Chinese citizen

[ShugdenProtector]

It claimed Switzerlands move is a result of the "positive Sino-Swiss diplomatic cooperation. Berne must have realised it has more to gain from a strong bilateral relationship with Beijing rather than supporting the Tibetan separatists."

Well, this says it all doesn't it. CTA seems to be getting less and less significant. Do you see anyone except India who uses HH Dalai Lama as a pawn to negotiate and play power games with China. Nothing more but power and greed. China should ignore these threats from India and move on I say. The more China complains, threatens India, the more India knows what irritates them.

Sometimes even great leaders act like childish kids. I guess that is the nature of samsara.

Switzerland isn't the only country. Even USA is siding China now. When 11 embassies signed on to a joint letter criticizing China over “credible claims” that lawyers and human rights activists have been tortured while in detention, there were two notable abstentions. One was the 28-nation European Union, although some E.U. members signed on to the letter. The other was the United States.

The State Department’s Human Rights Report, released this month, accused China of a slew of human rights abuses, including: “arbitrary or unlawful deprivation of life, executions without due process, illegal detentions at unofficial holding facilities known as ‘black jails,’ torture and coerced confessions of prisoners, and detention and harassment of journalists, lawyers, writers, bloggers, dissidents, petitioners, and others whose actions the authorities deemed unacceptable.”

Nevertheless, the fact that Tillerson did not hold a news briefing to launch that report, as predecessors in his job have done, also left activists and politicians wondering whether the United States might be wavering.

“For 1st time in a long time @StateDept #humanrights report will not be presented by Secretary of State,” tweeted Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), a Republican member of the Foreign Relations Committee. “I hope they reconsider.”

US Declines To Join Letter Criticizing China On Human Rights


WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States has declined to join other countries in criticizing China about allegations of torture against human rights lawyers.

The U.K., Germany, Canada and eight others signed a letter raising concerns about lawyers and rights activists detained incommunicado for long periods. The letter urges China to investigate torture claims against lawyer Xie Yang and others.

The U.S. abstention comes as activists raise growing concerns that the Trump administration is de-emphasizing human rights in diplomacy. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson struck a conciliatory tone with China during a visit last week.

The State Department won’t say why the U.S. didn’t sign, who made the decision and whether the White House was involved. The State Department says the U.S. raises “serious” human rights concerns as part of “regular discussions” with China.

I am not surprise to know about this. This is nothing new but one of the move that many countries leader will take to bond with China. A country leader must always look into the benefits of their own people. What come first must always be the economy of a country. Swiss has been taking care of the 4000 Tibetan refugees for so long, and I do think after 58 years, Tibetan-in-exile leader now should not just let the Tibetan refugees issues continue in this way, but put in more effort to unite all Tibetans around the world to improve the situation instead of confusing and splitting the Tibetans with Dorje Shugden issue. Dorje Shugden as a 400 years Dharma protector, should not be blamed as the problem of the failure of Tibetan cause.

The Tibetan leadership CTA cannot forever continue to hide and depend of the western countries. These western countries one day will cut off all the money that they have been giving plus very soon close down the Tibetan refugees camp. By looking at the growth and stable of China, Tibetans should have the chance go back to their home land, Tibet. For the benefits of all Tibetans, CTA should come out with good solution to deal with China. I'm looking forward to it.

Many Tibetans have settled in Switzerland, due to the efforts of the Red Cross.

When the Swiss recognize Tibetans as Chinese, it just means that they recognize Tibet is part of China. There is no Tibet separate from China. One China Policy.
