According to the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8194138.stm which has recently been extended a detailed interview with the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan leader has conceded that the Tibetan issue is an internal matter of communist China. During the interview the Dalai Lama is reported to have stated that: “The Chinese government considers our problem a domestic one. And we also.”.

This comment follows similar statments made by Samdhong Rinpoche, who during a televised interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRJFe-e-txI responding to Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao accusing the West of exploiting the Dalai Lama] Samdhong replied:

“If there is any truth, they should establish with evidences. As far as the Tibet issue is concerned, we have nothing to do with Western countries. We consider this is an internal matter of the People’s Republic of China, and if the People’s Republic of China is willing to deal with us as an internal matter, we are absolutely ready.“

If both of these leading Tibetan figures, as political heads of the Tibeten Government in Exile recognize the legitimacy of communist Chinese national and regional jurisdiction over Tibet, then they must surely acknowledge that the exiled Tibetan Administration cannot possibly possess any political or legal authority. This raises a number of extremely grave questions regarding the status and lack of authority of those Tibetan envoys, who are negotiating with the communist regime. They act not as official plenipotentiaries of an exiled Tibetan Government, but as private officials of the Dalai Lama, who is unilaterally making decisions on behalf of six million Tibetans!

The communist Chinese regime gets jittery whenever it is unable to suppress dissent, in the case of prominent Uyghur exile Rabiya Kadeer, Beijing’s bloodstained politbureau suffers from a psychotic spasm when challenged by her championing of  freedom, justice and demcracy. Its response is utterly predictable and follows a pattern beloved of all totalitarian states,  censorship, distortion, concealment and intimidation.  Take its recent activities inside Australia. Unable to prevent a screening of a documentary film charting Ms Kadeer’s life,  Beijing’s bully-brigade unleashed a number of cyber-attacks upon the main website of the prestigious Melbourne International Film Festival, which was screening the film ‘The 10 Conditions Of Love’ . Now we discover that Chinese agents have been pressurizing the National Press Club of Australia to cancel a planned televised interview with Rebiya Kadeer, scheduled for broadcast today (August 11). Given recent tensions between the Australian and Chinese governments following the July 5 arrest of Rio Tinto’s Australian head of iron-ore operations in China, along with three other company executives (which Beijing accuses of stealing state secrets and damaging communist China’s economic interests) efforts may be made to use the planned screening as a political barginning chip. Any move by Australia to pull-the-broadcast would be a very welcome gesture to Beijing, one that may oil diplomatic wheels which have been under some strain following the high profile and embarrassing arrests. Certainly the Australian Government would like this incident to be resolved, to facilitate that will it be prepared to comply with China’s demands by silencing Rabiya Kadeer?  

Many thanks those Australian subscribers for the heads-up on this.

According to a Turkish report  http://www.zaman.com.tr/haber.do?haberno=878863&title=uygur-kizlari-gruplar-halinde-cinin-dogu-ucuna-goturuluyor   communist China has re-started its program of deporting Uyghur girls to China, while encouraging continuing Han-Chinese migration into  East Turkestan. This demographic assault is one of the methods used by the communist Chinese regime to erode and marginalize Uyghur culture.
