I was surfing and then came across an article talks about "if Beijing can talk with Taiwan about ties, why it cant talk with the Dalai Lama about Tibet's future."and it clearly states that leaders of Taiwan are happy with the island's ambiguous status as de facto independent but still officially part of "one China".

It seems to be a good idea to show some demographic contrast by comparing Tibet with Taiwan. I personally think they are building a very difficult platform which is hardly fair for us. Many historical facts are missing the effect of non-political view education and have been ignored by the protesters and also a *shit* load of audience don't even get the facts straight (On RTE evening show Q&A). If you do a search on Google or Wiki or whatever media you trust, put in "Tibet, Myth, Reality" and you will see what had been happening in Tibet over centuries. And if you don't mind the tone of the presenter of these kind of knowledge, I consider most of them true and honest. Some one pointed out its history (being part of China) is much longer than the sum of histories of those countries on "new discovered continent". Yes it was a kingdom before but it dates back to 1300 yrs ago and there was a king and his happy servants...bla bla bla (i do hate comedy and I'm trying to be serious)

Ironically, the population of Tibetan is about 2 million (now) and I couldn't see how 1.5 million of them got killed and tens of millions of them live in the rest of the world. And also what i always want to declare is that Tibetan is one of the 56 races in China(it would be too racist to say races but you get my picture)as we are a multi-ethnic nation. Monks are indeed purer than human being (they suppose to be) but in this case few of them are seeking nationalistic freedom other than spiritual moral fibre. Talking about culture merging, theres very little evidence to prove it is now the biggest issue in this world and we need to spend all we have to save what becomes minority.

Isn't it ironic we just visited the kilmainham Goal (former jail) that represents the history of Ireland as many leaders of Irish rebellions were imprisoned and executed in there.

People are remembered when they are dead. But the era for this kind of revolutionary period is long gone. However theres a brightside. When i saw a random vid about american protesters being interviewed can't point out where Tibet is it just gives me a good laugh. So I only want to celebrate the irony as I am not a student of politics.
