I agree with Ensapa. All these insecurities are self created by CTA. They can't provoke China and expect no reaction from them? That's illogical. Perhaps it's time to further tightened the security for HHDL. Isn't that what Governments do anyway? How accurate is the source of this claim? Is it reliable?
How is CTA amending their relationship with China? What are the steps? If no autonomy for Tibet, then what? CTA is a speck of dust for China. Without HHDL all these years, CTA would be long forgotten. Who in CTA is well known around the world? NOBODY! CTA just rode on HHDL's name as the easy way out. How has the lives of Tibetan refugees improved under CTA?
Sorry to say, if CTA were given the authority to govern Tibet as an autonomy region, would CTA be capable of managing Tibet? I really doubt it based on the current situation of the Tibetan refugees and ostracism of Tibetan Dorje Shugden practitioners.
The government of Hong Kong had a track record of good management and having huge yearly trade surplus. It makes sense for Hong Kong to be an autonomous region for the psychology of the people in Hong Kong. Nowadays, the Hong Kong people are more confident of the Chinese Government.
I like what you said Klein... It is TRUE... How will CTA operate after HHDL is gone? They are so dependent on Him and now HHDL is saying there may not be another incarnation, no 15th. So honestly can d CTA survive without HHDL? I do not think any other High Lama can replace HHDL, because He is just irreplaceable... Not because those high Lamas are not powerful and incapable... it is just the Dalai Lama has risen to such a huge height since he escaped from Tibet, that if someone else takes on His role, it would just seem less authentic to the world.
And YES.... CTA without the Dalai Lama is NOBODY and will slowly fade in to the darkness. They have not broken themselves capable of running anything without HHDL and they have not done anything much since the new PM was elected to improve the lives of the Tibetan refugees, instead the create seperation, disharmony, hardships, pain and suffering amongst their very own people... who could have join them, be united to have more voice. But they are to busy pointing fingers and acting like witch hunters.
Yes I really don't think CTA could cut it without HHDL even if China gave CTA the authority to govern Tibet as an autonomy region. They simply have zero track record and well what can they offer back to China? Definite more burning of their own people is not gonna be lucrative. Perhaps China is even laughing saying haha go on burn more, the lesser to deal with.
CTA should think more broadly and more long term... amending their relationship with China would be a great start but I doubt they could think bigger.
Now they have Gone and did another silly thing
