On Tuesday, September 08, 2015, Red China hosted a ceremony in the square of Potala Palace, Lhasa, Tibet to celebrate formation of Tibet Autonomous Region or TAR on September 01, 1965. This celebration does not change the reality of Potala Palace. It stands as a proud symbol of Tibetan Independence and Tibetan Sovereignty. Potala Palace like the White House can only represent one form of national government. As long as the name ‘Potala Palace’ survives, it stands for a political institution called Ganden Phodrang.

China on Tuesday marked 50 years of Tibet’s amalgamation with the Communist giant, holding a grand parade in Lhasa showcasing its grip on the strategic Himalayan region even as it adopted a tough stance against the Dalai Lama, Tibetan religious leader, calling for a crackdown on “separatist forces.” A big meeting followed by a grand parade was held in front of the Potala Palace, traditional home of the Dalai Lama from where he fled to India in 1959, attended among others by senior official of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC), Yu Zhengsheng, to mark 50 years of Tibet being declared as an autonomous province of China.
China’s claim
China says Tibet became a part of the country by “peaceful liberation” when Chinese troops invaded the Himalayan plateau in 1950 establishing Beijing’s control over it. The Tibet Autonomous Region was founded on September 1, 1965, after the establishment of the regional People’s Congress, the local legislature. Addressing the colourful ceremony, Mr. Yu, who is in-charge of minorities in China, stressed the legality of crackdown on separatists, the official characterisation of supporters of the Dalai Lama including Buddhist monks.
High-handedness charge
Overseas Tibetan groups accused the Chinese authorities of high-handed methods in dealing with those supporting the Dalai Lama, widely regarded as the spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhism.
Over 130 Tibetans, including monks, have committed self immolations in the recent years demanding the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet. Calling for “strict adherence to the law in managing religious affairs in Tibet,” Mr. Yu said “law-based governance is fundamental to the long-term stability of Tibet.”
Policing of separatism
In a nationally telecast ceremony, Mr. Yu said policing of separatism must also be done legally while asserting that the crackdown on separatists would continue, scotching any hopes of reconciliation with the Dalai Lama under the new leadership headed by President Xi Jinping. Law-based governance in Tibet was also highlighted in a speech by Mr. Xi last month, state-run Xinhua news agency reported. Referring to security of Tibet which formed part of the India-China border, Mr. Yu also said: “Border areas must be well managed to successfully govern the country, and stability in Tibet is paramount to the management of these areas.”

TIBET AWARENESS – POTALA PALACE, LHASA, TIBET – TIBET IS UNDER OCCUPATION. Red China has been using photo images of Tibet to promote Tibetan Tourism which fails to acknowledge Tibet’s Independence and Tibetans’ Right to Natural Freedom.
On September 01, 2015, Red China is celebrating a historical event that scars the beauty of Tibetan landscape. Red China brutally carved out a province that she calls Tibetan Autonomous Region or TAR where Tibetans have no autonomy and are denied Right to Self-Determination. Tibet has a total area of 965, 000 square miles and as such in terms of size, Tibet is world’s tenth largest nation.
I am sharing a few photo images of Tibet, its landscape and its people. Red China has been using photo images of Tibet to promote Tibetan Tourism which fails to acknowledge Tibet’s Independence and Tibetans’ Right to Natural Freedom.

John Adams, the second President of the United States in 1797 was first to live there. Millions of tourists from Red China currently visit occupied Tibet and Potala Palace has become a place of tourist attraction for the 14th Dalai Lama lives in exile since March 1959.

I host ‘The Living Tibetan Spirits’ to promote ‘Tibet Awareness’. I acknowledge The Dalai Lama as the Supreme, Independent, Sovereign Authority, and Ruler of Tibet.
Tibet Awareness – Potala Palace, Lhasa, Tibet is missing the Reincarnated Spirit it hosts
The Great 5th Dalai Lama (1617 – 1682) founded the Ganden Phodrang Government of Tibet. Potala Palace was built-in Lhasa during the reign of the Great 5th Dalai Lama. The term ‘Sovereign’ is used to describe an entity that is above, superior to all others, Chief, greatest, Supreme in Power, Rank or Authority. Independence of Tibetan people is kept for much of its history as Tibet remained free of direct foreign control even while it came under foreign conquests by Mongol or Yunan Dynasty (1279 – 1368) and Qing, Ch’ing, or Manchu Dynasty (1644 – 1911). During the reign of the Great 13th Dalai Lama, Tibet declared full independence on February 13, 1913. Sovereign, Independent Tibet signed Mc Mahon Treaty in 1914 to come to an understanding about Tibet’s southern border with India. Tibet has not signed any treaty and has not concluded any agreement about border between Tibet and People’s Republic of China. The Seventeen-Point Plan or 17-Point Agreement that describe ‘measures for peaceful Liberation of Tibet’ do not compromise the power and authority of the Ganden Phodrang Government of Tibet to control Tibetan Affairs.

LEGACY OF DALAI LAMA FADES IN NEW TIBET
5:00 AM Saturday Aug 22, 2015
Former leader runs an exile government, but at home China is in control and tourists roam the palace.
Potala Palace is built before the construction of The White House in Washington DC during presidency of George Washington. John Adams, the second President of the United States in 1797 was first to live there. Millions of tourists from Red China currently visit occupied Tibet and Potala Palace has become a place of tourist attraction for the 14th Dalai Lama lives in exile since March 1959. The geopolitical interests of all other independent, free, sovereign nations of this world will be best served by defeating Red China and evicting Red China’s occupying forces from Tibet.
The Dalai Lama’s Potala Palace is now an attraction for Chinese tourists and its former resident lives in exile in India. Photo / AP It’s hard not to feel a sense of melancholy while passing through the Dalai Lama’s former quarters in Lhasa’s Potala Palace.
In one room visitors view the throne on which Tibet’s one-time ruler sat while addressing officials. Further on – reached through a network of narrow passageways – is his bedroom, the first of the palace’s 1000 rooms to catch the winter sun.
But the 14th and current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, no longer walks these corridors. He fled south to India, where he established a government in exile, during the Tibetan uprising of 1959.
Nine years earlier, the army of the newly formed People’s Republic of China crossed the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and took control of Tibet. The region was formally incorporated into the communist state in 1951.
Today, the 80-year-old Dalai Lama remains in his Indian exile and an army of a different kind – hordes of Chinese tourists – file daily through his old quarters. Security guards in orange jumpsuits keep them in check, while red-robed monks stare at their smartphones or murmur prayers, seemingly oblivious to the crush of Chinese tourism surrounding them.
While access to Tibet is severely restricted for foreign journalists, the Herald was able to join an official media tour to Lhasa, the regional capital, this month. It gave a controlled yet intriguing glimpse into life in a region that, like the rest of China, is forging ahead in the quest for development.
Chinese rule of Tibet rests on a platform of economic growth and substantial state subsidies provided to the indigenous population. Hulking tower blocks are emerging from the barren earth on Lhasa’s western outskirts as investment pours in from the central government and wealthier, eastern provinces.
The region’s economy grew by 12 per cent last year, well ahead of the 7.4 per cent national rate. Access to the remote Himalayan region has been improved.
A high-altitude railway line linking Tibet to the rest of China opened in 2006 and carried 7.5 million passengers, more than twice the region’s population, in 2013. And in 2011 China’s then Vice-President, Xi Jinping, cut the ribbon on a 38km, four-lane highway running from Lhasa to the city’s Gongkar airport. It’s a feat of engineering, with numerous tunnels beneath the jagged mountains on the route.
“The driving force of the Tibetan economy is basically the investment drive, rather than trading,” said Yang Tao, of Beijing’s China Tibetology Research Centre. Despite the development, China’s control of Tibet remains a sensitive issue. Activists accuse Beijing of suppressing Tibetans’ cultural and religious freedoms amid a tide of Han Chinese migration into the region from other parts of the country.
Fatal anti-Chinese protests broke out in Tibet before the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and the Save Tibet organisation claims 142 Tibetans have self-immolated in China since 2009 in protest at Chinese rule of the region.
But China says its sovereignty over Tibet stretches back for centuries and the Tibetans were “liberated” from slavery and serfdom in 1951. The extent of Han migration is evident in Lhasa, where Mandarin language dominates the signs above the shops, largely run by Han Chinese, that line the city’s bustling streets.
Tibetan script is required, by law, to also appear. But more often than not, it is secondary to much larger Mandarin characters. The Chinese Government says the region’s population of more than three million remains more than 90 per cent Tibetan.

Today, the 80-year-old Dalai Lama remains in his Indian exile and an army of a different kind – hordes of Chinese tourists – file daily through his old quarters. Photo / AP Jigme Wangtso, an ethnic Tibetan and director of Tibet’s Government Information Office, said there was a misconception that the Government initiated Han migration to Tibet.
“It is normal and natural for people to migrate,” he said, adding that migration was a two-way street, as large numbers of Tibetans had migrated to Chinese provinces. But international travel remains challenging for Tibetans who, according to Human Rights Watch, can face a five-year wait for passports.
Asked about the obvious presence of large numbers of migrants in Lhasa, Jigme suggested Tibetans were being confused with Han. “Don’t judge all as being Han,” he said. “Am I Han or Tibetan? I don’t wear Tibetan costume.”
He said he saw no proof of a separatist movement existing in Tibet today. He said most Tibetans did not have “any special attachment” to the exiled Dalai Lama and instead appreciated the improvements in living standards, in areas such as health and education, which China’s “preferential policies” had brought to Tibet.
“People are happy with the system,” he said. “He [the Dalai Lama] brought nothing for me.” We do not see any obvious signs of discontent in Lhasa.
But on our first day in the city, we see a convoy of more than 40 trucks filled with paramilitary officers in full riot gear, accompanied by tanks and water cannon vehicles. Our minders say the procession is “practice” for next month’s 50th anniversary of the Tibet Autonomous Region’s establishment.
In Lhasa’s Zhaxi community we are taken to the home of Tibetan local Communist Party chief Suolang Bazhu. His living room wall is adorned with photographs of party leaders, past and present, alongside a mural of the Potala Palace. Suolang, 72, says he has seen huge changes in Lhasa under Chinese rule.
“Ordinary people are usually very thankful for these changes because they lifted us from poverty,” he says. “We used to have nothing … but now we have everything.” State subsidies to Tibet were increased after the 2008 unrest, and in 2010 exceeded 100 per cent of the region’s gross domestic product for the first time, according to Andrew Fischer, of the Institute for Social Sciences in The Hague.
A “comfortable housing” programme has reportedly given millions of rural Tibetans new homes. Our group is taken to visit one relocation village, Dekyi, near Gongkar airport. It is part of the nationwide “New Socialist Countryside” project, which began in 2006. It aims to help the country’s more than 600 million-strong rural population catch up, economically, with those living in China’s booming cities.
In Dekyi, we are ushered into the home of Dawa, a 55-year-old farmer (like many Tibetans he has only one name). Dawa’s family was the first to move into the village, in early 2013 after their previous home was flooded. He says he received a 115,000 yuan ($27,195) subsidy to help build his new house, plus another 20,000 yuan to construct a yak stable.
The rights group Free Tibet says Tibetans often suffer in new housing colonies and towns because they don’t have the skills to compete for jobs in a different environment. There have also been accusations that many rural Tibetans have been forced to relocate.
But Dawa doesn’t have any complaints, or at least none that he will share with us. He says it was his decision to make the move, which has enabled him to increase his agricultural production “It would be impossible for me to have such a lifestyle without the subsidy of the Government,” he says.

MELTDOWN IN TIBET

Red Dragon – Red China – Real Evil Face: Cultural Genocide, and Ecocide, deliberate destruction of Tibet’s delicate Ecological Systems.
In Meltdown in Tibet, Michael Buckley turns the spotlight on the darkest side of China’s emergence as a global super power.
Canadian adventure travel writer and environmentalist Michael Buckley has blown the lid of China’s ecocide of the fragile, high altitude environment of Tibet. The scenario is frightening which can severely impact the Indian subcontinent and countries in Southeast Asia. Even the Spiritual head of the Tibetans, His Holiness the Dalai Lama is deeply concerned. He drew pointed attention to this book and observed it “should be part of a wake-up call to the international community and China to seriously assess the ecological and environmental conditions on the Tibetan plateau and take remedial measures before it is too late”. The author warns that the Himalayan snow caps are in meltdown mode due to climate change accelerated by a rain of black soot from massive burning of coal and other fuels in both China and India.
Tibetans have experienced waves of genocide since the 1950s. Now they are facing ecocide with the reckless destruction of their fragile, high altitude environment. It is widely believed there is urgent need for an International Law to protect downstream nations — something the United Nations agreed a decade ago but has never acted on it. The health of all the rivers in Tibet are of vital concern to all the nations of Asia. Bhutan is light years ahead of its Asian neighbours in its environmental vision. The quixotic nation has become the environmental innovator of Asia. The mighty rivers of Tibet are being dammed extensively by Chinese engineering consortiums for the mainland’s thrust for power. The land is being relentlessly mined to feed China’s industrial complex. Massive engineering projects are diverting water from Tibet’s abundant rivers to water starved regions of China. Simply put the global supply of fresh water is dwindling at an alarming rate. This will lead to major tension between nations over shared water resources. The rivers of Tibet are so important to Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
The Tibetan plateau is the source of the major rivers of this vast region stretching all the way from the coast of China in the East to Pakistan in the West. Ninety per cent of the run off from Tibetan rivers flows downstream into China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Burma, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Bhutan and Pakistan. At the tail end of these same rivers lie the world’s largest deltas. One way or another close to two billion people rely on Tibet’s waters — for drinking, for agriculture, for fishing, for industry.

Water not oil is becoming the world’s most important resource. Though we live in a planet covered by water, very little of it is accessible. More than 90 per cent is sea water which is too salty. Roughly two per cent of the water resources is locked in ice and snow. That leaves a paltry one per cent to supply drinking water, grow crops, run factories, cool power plants, and handle all the other roles that water plays. It is possible that half of the paltry one per cent is polluted or contaminated water, which is not usable. As non-renewable ground resource are used up, the global supply of water is dwindling at an alarming rate. This had the portends of leading to great tensions between nations over shared water resources. Tibet is often referred to as the “Third Pole” because it is the third largest source of water locked in ice and snow.
It is unique in the world as a mass provider of water via rivers to a dozen countries downstream. It is the source of major headwaters for the rivers of Asia and the Himalayas, and additionally provides key tributaries or feeders for other major rivers such as the Ganges. There is no parallel to this situation anywhere in the world. Tibetan glaciers are melting rapidly, and its lakes are drying up. This plateau is under siege from climate change factors, but instead of seeking ways to minimise the impact of all this, China is aggravating the situation. Chinese hydro consortiums are blocking the flow of waters. Extensive mining is degrading the land with high potential of rivers being polluted downstream. The grasslands of Tibet are being encroached upon by desert. Ultimately this will become a global problem because there are no boundaries when it comes to environmental impact.
The massive clear cutting of forests in Tibet and expanding desertification of grasslands have severely impacted regional ecosystems and may influence extreme weather patterns in Asia. Tibet sits on the largest permafrost layer outside the North and the South Poles. “We have only one Tibet. There are no backups, no second chances. If the water resources of the Tibetan plateau should be blocked or diverted, or become polluted, then Asia will tumble into chaos. In his Preface to the book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama warned that pursuing economic development at the expense of the ecological balance will lead to drastic and unforseen consequences.
In the case of China, many environmental experts consider the economic accomplishments are already exerting a heavy environmental price. They bemoan the threat of China’s disappearing lakes, shrinking and increasingly polluted rivers and smog filled skies that will have long-term consequences for public health. The ability to breathe clean air and drink clean water is a human right. “But it is a right threatened by focussing only on economic development that pays inadequate attention to ecological well-being,” the Dalai Lama observed. His Holiness had no doubt that this is a wake up call to the international community and China to seriously assess ecological and environmental conditions on the Tibetan plateau and take remedial measures before it is too late.

The mighty rivers of Tibet are being dammed extensively by Chinese engineering consortiums for the mainland’s thrust for power. The land is being relentlessly mined to feed China’s industrial complex. Massive engineering projects are diverting water from Tibet’s abundant rivers to water starved regions of China. Simply put the global supply of fresh water is dwindling at an alarming rate. This will lead to major tension between nations over shared water resources. The rivers of Tibet are so important to Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
Red China – Red Alert – Sixth Protest Self-Immolation of 2015
Whole Sacrifice – Tibetans Resist Occupation by Self-Sacrifice
Tibetans continue to resist military occupation of Tibet. Self-Immolation is ultimate act of passive resistance in an attempt to convince an adversary to change his behavior. I am sharing the news about this Tibetan tragedy and offer my prayers for Peace, Harmony, and Tranquility in the Land of Tibet.

Tibet: Sixth Protest Self-Immolation of 2015 Takes Place in Kyegudo
An unidentified Tibetan monk set himself ablaze on Thursday [9 July 2015] in the central square of Kyegudo in the Yulshul Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, China’s Qinghai province, in a protest against Beijing’s rule in the Tibetan region. It constitutes the sixth self-immolation this year and brings the total number of self-immolations by Tibetans since the beginning of open protests in 2009 to 142. The monk was taken to a hospital for treatment, but his current condition or whereabouts remain unknown. It also remains unclear whether he was taken away by bystanders or by the police.

A Tibetan monk set himself ablaze on Thursday in northwestern China’s Qinghai province in an apparent challenge to Beijing’s rule in Tibetan areas in the sixth such protest this year, according to sources in the region and in exile.
The burning in the central square of Kyegudo in the Yulshul (in Chinese, Yushu) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture brings to 142 the total number of self-immolations by Tibetans since the wave of fiery protests began in 2009.
The still unidentified monk was taken to hospital for treatment of his burns, but no word has been received on his current condition or whereabouts, sources said.
“On July 9, sometime between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. [local time] a monk self-immolated in Kyegudo’s Gesar Square,” a Tibetan living in exile told RFA’s Tibetan Service on Thursday, citing contacts in the town.
“We still don’t know what his name is or which monastery he came from,” he said, adding that though sources said the monk was transported to a local hospital for treatment, it is unclear if he was taken there by bystanders or the police.
Kyegudo, the site of Thursday’s protest and Yulshul prefecture’s main town, was hit by a devastating earthquake on April 14, 2010 that largely destroyed the town and killed almost 3,000 residents by official count.
Thursday’s burning is the sixth Tibetan self-immolation to take place since the beginning of the year. It follows the May 27 protest of Sangye Tso, a Tibetan mother of two, who set herself ablaze and died outside Chinese police headquarters in Chone (Zhuoni) county in Gansu province’s Kanlho (Gannan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.
The Evil Red Empire – Evil One – Evildoer: I am inspired by US President Ronald Reagan to describe Red China 🇨🇳 as The Evil Red Empire.
I have a great pleasure in sharing the blog post titled “China’s Opening to Russia” by Dina Badie published by Huffington Post on April 27, 2015. It clearly exposes Dr. Henry Alfred Kissinger, PhD as Whole Villain for he formulated the US-China relations without any concern for values that define United States of America. Red China’s opening to Russia will compel the United States to define its national values while it defends its security interests in present day world.I am inspired by US President Ronald Reagan to describe Red China as The Evil Red Empire.
The Evil Red Empire – Evil One – Evildoer: US President Ronald Reagan addressed National Association of Evangelicals on March 08, 1983. He coined the phrase “Evil Empire” to describe the Soviet Union. He framed the US-Soviet confrontation as “Good vs Evil.”
What is Evil?
The Evil Red Empire – Evil One – Evildoer: I am inspired by US President Ronald Reagan to describe Red China as The Evil Red Empire: The Woman riding the Scarlet Beast is the personification of the Evil Red Empire – Red China.🇨🇳
The term Evil describes conduct regarded as morally bad, morally wrong, wicked, depraved, causing pain, or trouble, harmful, injurious, offensive, disgusting, threatening, and bringing misfortune and misery to those affected by it. Red China is Evildoer for it does evil actions habitually. Red China is Evil-Minded for its disposition is malicious. Red China is the Evil One, a term used for The Devil or Satan.

China’s Opening to Russia. The Evil Red Empire – Evil One – Evildoer: I am inspired by US President Ronald Reagan to describe Red China 🇨🇳 as The Evil Red Empire. Kissinger was sworn in as US Secretary of State in September 1973. He was the Adviser, National Security Affairs when he abused his position to Open the Door to Communist China in 1971 .
When Henry Kissinger returned from a secret meeting in China in 1971, he laid the groundwork for a historic diplomatic opening after more than 20 years of rejecting the Communist Party government. Within a year, Richard Nixon visited Mao Zedong in Beijing, the Shanghai Communiqué was signed, and the process of normalizing Sino-America relations began. Since then, most scholars and analysts have considered Nixon’s opening to China to be a resounding foreign policy success. In the midst of the Cold War, it successfully exploited existing divisions within the communist bloc and improved the U.S. strategic position vis-à-vis the USSR. Rather than three powerful states existing in isolation of one another, it was now 2 against 1: the U.S. and China vs. the USSR.
At the time, however, Nixon’s policy did not come without criticism. Mao Zedong’s brand of communism along with his brutal implementation of a “cultural revolution,” made him an improbable target for U.S. policymakers looking for diplomatic partners. Given the importance of the “democracy and capitalism” narrative of the Cold War, trading the recognition of the old Kuomintang government in Taiwan for the Communist Party state in the mainland was a contentious move. Yet, Nixon and Kissinger looked beyond ideology to open dialogue for strategic purposes.
Today, the U.S. is on the other end of an opening.
American and European statesmen are currently boycotting, sanctioning, condemning, and isolating Russia as punishment for its Ukraine policy. In the way that the U.S. picked off China after recognizing the Sino-Soviet split, China is now picking off Russia given the American-Russian split. The Ukraine crisis indirectly created an opportunity for China to expand a “strategic partnership” with Russia as the only major power not taking part in the sanctions regime. This is not to say that Russia and China had no diplomatic relations prior to the Ukraine crisis; rather, that Western policy toward Russia is creating an opening that China can easily exploit. As far as Russia policy goes, the further the West goes, the closer China comes.
While it is easy to criticize China’s noninterference policy and neutrality on Ukraine, it is not significantly different from Nixon and Kissinger’s decision to look beyond ideology in the 1970s. Pursuing a tangible national interest over ideological considerations, China has been able to deepen economic ties with Russia to ease the impact of Western sanctions. To address its growing energy needs, China is working on a second pipeline project with Russia to import much-needed natural resources. And next month, Xi Jinping will be the guest of honor at Russia’s WWII commemorative parade, which American and European leaders plan to boycott.
China’s strategic opening should come as no surprise to the U.S. There remain significant differences between Russia and China but the more Washington pushes and pivots, the closer Moscow and Beijing will become. Rather than continually isolating Russia over its actions in Ukraine and denouncing China for remaining neutral, the U.S. would be best served to once again cast off ideologically motivated policy in favor of real politik.
