China vows to crush freedom-seeking Tibetans

[Mugu]

Brushing aside calls for dialogue with the Dalai Lama , China has vowed to "crush" the "Tibet independence forces" as it raised to 19 the death toll in riots that rocked Lhasa last week during the most virulent anti-China protests in two decades.

"China must resolutely crush the Tibet independence forces' conspiracy and sabotaging activities," the People's Daily, the official mouthpiece of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC), said in its commentary on Saturday, effectively rejecting growing calls from the West for China to hold dialogue with the Dalai Lama to end the crackdown on agitators.

"We must see through the secessionist forces' evil intentions" and maintain stability and protect people's "fundamental interests", the commentary said.

As it intensified its manhunt for the "most-wanted" suspects and rushed more troops to the restive areas in Tibet, Sichuan and Gansu provinces, the government said 18 civilians and a police officer were killed in the recent mob violence.

2. The CIA sponsored the return of the Tibetan Lords & their serf/slave system in the 50's - at

the time the China/Tibetan relationship was Tibet as part of China which had outlawed selfs/slaves and removed the Lords, and which had given limited autonomy to Tibet.

Even the Dalai Lama asks for no more than the original autonomy that existed before the CIA went to war to restore the rich. If these protests are also just pushing that - limited autonomy -then god bless and good luck. But I suspect our CIA is at work with the sons of the Lords now in India.
