I feel that in the wake of the Nepalese Earthquake the Chinese and the Indians perhaps has been the fastest to response and the Tibetan Administration is hard pressed to response given that they are not really a government with resource and not even a country physically. Hence, we cannot expect much from the CTA.
Having said that the Chinese government of today is a very different one from that of the 1950s. In the 1950s throughout 1960s and 70s, China were themselves undergoing internal strife that was the ""Great Leap Forward" and the Cultural Revolution. Not until he early 1980s thru to the 1990s were China's strife stopped and economic redevelopment under way until to this day, China is second largest economy in the world behind the US (some argue China is already the largest economy) in the world.
Hence, there is total disparity in class in the ability of to render aid in time of disaster to its neighbours.
Politics aside, the Dalai Lama and his government wasted 56 years in political limbo while their perceived enemy thrive to be a world power. It time that the Dalai Lama, make one last supreme effort to reconcile with China instead of being a neglected pawn of the Western-China political game. The pawn is of no use already. And that is a fact.
There is no way anyone can turn back the clock and wish for Tibet to revert back to the CTA. The only way is to accept China's terms; and of course negotiate for the best terms by all means; otherwise, once the Dalai Lama passes on, the CTA will be forgotten in the dust of history. Then what?If some kind of reconciliation can be agreed, then at least Tibet can move on with a true cultural, spiritual and economical renaissance that all Tibetan deserve.
Lastly and perhaps most importantly, the CTA can advocate true religious freedom with the Dalai Lama lifting the ban of Dorje Shugden regardelss of what He thinks is the nature of the deity.
