The Chinese government issued a document laying out its vision for Tibet's development, based on "an irresistible historical tide."
The Chinese government published an extensive report on Wednesday in which it denounced the 'Middle Way' approach espoused by the Dalai Lama as an attempt "to create a 'state within a state' on Chinese territory, to be ruled by the 14th Dalai Lama and his supporters, as an interim step towards the ultimate goal of full independence."
In the document, released by the State Council Information Office and entitled 'Tibet's path of development is driven by an irresistible historical tide,' China says that under its rule, which began in 1950, "Tibet has been transformed from a poor and backward society to one that is advanced in both economy and culture."
"The end of the old system was a historic inevitability," says
the White Paper, describing Tibet as having been "a society of theocratic feudal serfdom," prior to its administration. According to the White Paper, since the early 1950s, life expectancy in Tibet has doubled and the rate of illiteracy, which was 95 percent, "has been wiped out."
After justifying Tibet's "Sound Path of Development," the text devotes a chapter to the Dalai Lama's 'Middle Way' approach, entitled "
The Essential Intent of the 'Middle Way' Is to Split China," describing the approach as a veneer for the campaign for Tibetan independence.
Comment: These developments are hardly surprising when one considers that the whole premise under which the talks were made are false, Congress is under the full sway of Israel and its AIPAC, and the real intent behind the talks was an attempt to bully and subjugate Iran. It also speaks to the incredible morass of lies and illusion that our leaders live under simply because of the belligerence they hold towards countries they don't "like".
