A BREAKTHROUGH - MAYBE?
Joseph Aranha
Are the Chinese becoming
more pragmatic? Or are they playing for
time. Well only time will tell.
It has been reported that Chinese officials
have been putting out feelers to see that
if an invitation was extended whether the
Dalai Lama would attend the Olympics in
Beijing in August of this year.
Khedroob Thondup, a Taipei based member
of Tibet’s parliament-in-exile said
a senior leader of the Chinese government,
who he did not identify had put this query
to him about two weeks ago.
This invitation may be the result of the
negative reactions from all over the world
as to how the Chinese handled the Tibetan
uprising against their very oppressive rule
in the mountainous territory. Till recently
China has blamed the Dalai Lama for the
uprising and accused him of wanting independence
for Tibet, even though the Dalai Lama has
made very clear in various international
forums that he does not want independence
but more autonomy for the region.
There have been many rounds of talks between
Chinese government officials and officials
of the government-in-exile of Tibet but
there has never been any positive movement
after these talks.
Thondup said he was sure that the Dalai
Lama would consider the invitation to attend
the Olympics, if the invitation was actually
extended by the Chinese Government. The
Dalai Lama has been on record saying that
he supported the Olympics in China.
