Chinese Tyrants Unhappy

The government of China is unhappy with the US and Germany due to both nations honoring the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exhiled spiritual leader. Boo Hoo.

“Such a person who basely splits his motherland and doesn’t even love his motherland has been welcomed by some countries and has even been receiving this or that award,” Tibet’s Communist Party boss, Zhang Qingli, told reporters.“We are furious. If the Dalai Lama can receive such an award, there must be no justice or good people in the world,” Zhang said."

Obviously, the fact that some Communist party hack could even say the Dalai doesn't love his homeland when the fact is that he's devoted his entire life to freeing his homeland from the occupation of the tyrannical oligarchy that this buffoon represents is pretty ironic.

President Bush will be honoring the Dalai with the US congressional Medal of Freedom tomorrow at the White House. China cancelled an annual human rights dialogue with Germany after German Chancellor Angela Merkel met with the Dalai Lama last month.

China brutally invaded Tibet in 1952 (if I recall correctly) and the Dalai Lama led a unseccessful revolt against the communist regime in 1959, after which he escaped to lead the opposition to Chinese rule from exile.

The Dalai has actually lowered himself to enter into negotiations with the Communist dictators of his homeland, but the negotiations "aren't going well", which is probably the understatement of the year in the arena of international relations given the Dalai is still the most outspoken advocate in the world for Tibetan independence.
