Good now Obama should meet one on one with Ahmadinajad and damn what Israel and APAIC think.

This whole sticky problem about who “owns” what has got to be faced sooner rather than later.  Nationalism is a dead duck if the human race is to survive. Ditto exploitation of the “littler” by the “bigger”. Nobody knows how to do it, but we have plenty of hints if we would just try them out and perfect our skills instead of bumbling on into death and destruction.
  As to China and Tibet:  If it’s water, and China is richer, let them buy the water—if Tibet has it to sell.  Or let Tibet give them some if they have any extra, out of sheer generosity as fellow humans.  Oh, no that’ll never happen,  Maybe not, but it could. 
  As to “fuck” China and that sort of thing—it is utter nonsense—although people who say that kind of thing might even be foolish enough to try to do it! But as a humane foreign policy that improves the world it doesn’t quite pass muster—to get a little militarism in there somehow so I don’t seem like a “...ing” pacifist!

China is a prisoner of it’s own bullshit; unfortunately
they also hold a HUGE amount of our sovereign debt. It
could be said we sold ourselves to China.
I guess we’ll find out pretty soon; Obama will or will
not meet the Dalai Lama; which ever way it goes it will
be a tell.

To Gerard,

You are of base, but not totally.

I have as a young men visited Tibet, and other countrys in Aziê.

If you know the history of China, you will learn, that they where always more or less agresief with their nabers, they killed lots of small tribes, who where in their way, of expanding.

They the Chinees, need every thing to stay on top of the world, specialy water, and that they have Tibetan, they are already cannaling water to China.

Wath you wanth is that every country or men keep quiet, don’t give the smallest critique on China’s politics, of bassing and taking even steeling of other countrys, so that this can go on and on.

I think that the Dali Lama must use every thing and every body and every circomstance to geth his people and country free, you can not as an human with some self respect let small etnics, as the germans say AUS RADIEREN, the Jews put them selfs constant in the picture, are the Tibetans no humans

And I rather fight a war for freedom, as for dirty oil money, we are already slaves of the capital, and do you wanth to be a slave from this so called communist-kapitalist gangster system, where an human has no valeur at all, no Gerard I hope you are with me in this thinking.

Salutation Johannes

Gerard ,...I don’t believe your offbase its civilized,,,only thing,,,it is hard for us in this country
to ask of China what we don’t do ourselves

lustering, posturing and name-calling won’t pass for foreign policy much longer if the world is to stay in one piece.
  If the Dalai Lama is smart he will stop letting himself be used to tickle the tiger’s nose for the benefit of the Republican Party.  And if the Chinese government is halfway competent it will give the tiny country of Tibet the right of self-determination. Surely there’s no great satisfaction in a huge country trampling a tiny one. A little give here, a little give there, and vindictiveness will die a natural death. I hope that’s not too much to ask, but the enmities run deep and nobody has tried very hard to reduce them. Am I completely off base?

Ham n eggs .....

They should have to forgive $1 billion in debt
every time they use the word communist to describe
their government…....

“... certainly threaten trust and co-operation between China and the United States…”

You could put the amount of trust that exists between these two in a thimble and still get an echo.

The only reason there’s any co-operation is because one side or the other is MAKING MONEY.

Tell the Chinese to spend 500 billion of U.S. dollars on U.S. products “or else” the Dali Lama will spend the summer in the Lincoln bedroom.

There is some thing funy and dangeres happening, the USA is purposely and intentionally wrecking his good relations with China.

Which strategie is this, is the dept of the USA to big, is the prospect of the economy so bad, his old allies the Europeên are not of any interest anymore, waths going to happen.

Why does the Chinese government continue to call itself “communist”?  They are mercantile tyrants.  They should change their name to The Chinese Republican Party or The Chinese Democratic Party.
