The survival of cultures is an interesting phenomenon.When Jerusalem and its Temple were destroyed in AD70 (though at the time nobody knew it was AD70 since this style of numbering had not been invented yet) and the population dispersed you might have thought that nearly 2000 years later Judaism would be an interesting footnote and the Roman Empire might even still be a force in the world.

Ora finalmente il governo è fatto e Berlusconi si è tolto un impiccio e tante preoccupazioni.Non che non ci sia più nulla da fare, al contrario, ma almeno il tempo per mandare un piccolo segnale al mondo ora se lo deve trovare, non ci sono più scuse che tengano, e neanche si può continuare a tacere.Al Tibet ed al suo popolo bastano in fondo poche parole ma chiare.Durante la campagna elettorale avevamo sentito Veltroni schierarsi apertamente a favore dei Tibetani, da parte sua Cavaliere avevamo avuto solo un imbarazzato silenzio.Ora è giunto il momento di parlare o di tacere per sempre.Il presidente del Consiglio Italiano deve finalmente dire se l'Italia è schierata con il Tibet o con la Cina.Certo sappiamo tutti che ci sono problemi di crescita e di sviluppo del paese e che forse,
Lhasa China isn't everybody's idea of a vacation destination although Lhasa remains one of the most apparently remote mysterious, and even romantic places on earth. Once completely inaccessible it still isn't easy to get to, and then when you do, there is the question of where do you find a decent Lhasa Hotel. The House of Shambhala could well be the perfect answer, and whilst it may not be the pe
The lions of human rights, particularly in European capitals, behave like poodles in Beijing. Virtually all of them spend their time trying to sell products to China. Then, in passing, they will whisper that they have to mention human rights issues because when they return home they have to say that these issues were raised. That sends an unmistakable message: This is a Western ritual; please do not pay too much attention to it. Given this record, it is not surprising that Chinese leaders have little respect for European leaders when they make grand gestures on human rights in front of their domestic audiences. ~ more... ~

Not just freedom of state, but also freedom of thought, freedom of expression and the freedom to nurture its ancient culture and heritage.One exquisite, but rare artifact from Tibet is its furniture. The average Tibetan household never had much furniture, and whatever furniture was crafted, was crafted for the monasteries and the royalty. A lot of original pieces were destroyed during the cultural revolution, but you can find original antiques through some genuine dealers. It's a question of debate whether these dealers are profiteering from Tibetan heritage or in a way actually helping preserve Tibetan heritage that would otherwise have been lo

Ah, Facebook. That place where everyone under 25 spends at least twice as much time as they want to. It's the place where you can find the most unintelligent debate on any subject.

There is the obvious Free Tibet group. There is the Tibet IS China group. But last of all, there is the most interesting. It is the group called "Tibet WAS, IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE a part of China." It has some 23,000 members. It is the most virulent pit of childishness and petty attacks that I have seen (save a few groups directed against Bush and a few against abortion).

From the Chinese party line, they could not have invaded a country that was already their own.

So what evidence do we have of US involvement in this latest round of Tibetan violence? History suggests it might be the case. The CIA gave the Tibetans and the Dalai Lama money and support through the 1950s and 1960s. On September 15, 1998, a Los Angeles Times investigation revealed that during "the 1960s, the CIA provided the Tibetan exile movement with $1.7 million ($1.83 million) a year for operations against China, including an annual subsidy of $180,000 ($193,500) for the Dalai Lama". The CIA trained Tibetan guerrillas in Nepal and in Colorado during that period. This CIA support petered out in the 1970s. So what is the situation today? Michael Barker, a PhD student at Griffith University in Brisbane who studies social and political movements, says much of the present inter

Thousands of monks are being starved into submission by Chinese soldiers who have surrounded their monasteries, cut off the water supply and stopped monks from going out to buy food, according to information reaching Tibetan exiles in India. The exiles, based in Dharamsala in the Himalayas where the Dalai Lama has lived in exile since 1959, fear that the monks could die if the outside world fails to intervene. "They are targeting the monasteries where protests took place," said Karma Chophel, the Speaker of the Tibetan parliament-in-exile. "In a week's time, the monks might start dying of thirst or hunger.

There are, so it seems to me, interesting parallels between the Tibet-China situation and the Scotland-England relationship. China's modern claim to overlordship of Tibet dates to the time when the imperial court sent Ambans (ambassadors) to Lhasa which is around the same time that the Act of Union made England and Scotland a single country. Tibet is a mountain country (famously so) with a quite distinct culture, a culture which the lowland Han Chinese have tried to destroy ever since they invaded. England's effective invasion of Scotland was longer ago, but involved taking the land from the people who lived in the Highlands, driving the people off that land and destroying a culture.The Highlanders fought back, and the British (well mostly English) sent in troops to restore order by bru

There seems to be one thing that most Americans can agree on: China is a bad place. Their disregard for human rights and the environment run contrary to most liberal sentiment. Couple that with their vast expanses of cheap manufacturing power, lack of safety standards for products and military might to rile up the conservatives and you've got a sea of heads nodding in unison. The flashpoint for this issue has been the occupation of Tibet by the Chinese. The Dalai Lama has sky rocketed to international super star status as Tibet's answer to Martin Luther King, Jr. Tibet was reported to be a magical perfect place prior to the Chinese invasion. Peace and prosperity were the rule rather than the exception. Western literature and cinema helped perpetuate this idea. There is
