In an interview with the BBC, the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, said he feared there would be more deaths unless Beijing changed its policies towards Tibet, which it has ruled since invading in 1950. "It has become really very, very tense. Now today and yesterday, the Tibetan side is determined. The Chinese side also equally determined. So that means, the result: killing, more suffering," he said. "Ultimately, the Chinese government is clinging of policy, not looking at the reality. They simply feel they have gun – so they can control. Obviously they can control. But they cannot control human mind," he warned.

Obviously, Dalai, who apeals to solve this protest peacefully, is using Tibetans' bodies as his weapon to fight against Beijing government, and tries to recapure the control of Mt. Everest. Seems he doesn't even care the sacrifice of Tibetans. It's no doubt that the Chinese government has guns, Dalai knows it. But he also knows he has nothing except the people whose minds are under his control. Now, for his own political goals, he begins to use them as a shield to combat with guns. What a shamed. He is now a politician and a careerist more than a monk.
Today, I saw many vistors leave their comments on YouTube. I don't know where are they from. Many of them abuse the Chinese government and stand at the side of Dalai. As they say, the Chinese people are mind-washed and Tibet shouldn't belong to China. I wanna say, looking for information from various ways is a necessary step before you abuse or support someone. As the highly developed Internet you have, you should at least find information from both sides. Can BBC or CNN cover anything? No! They are never neutral. It's pretty easy for them to distort the fact. So, if you want to abuse China, please try to discover the fact first. For example, you can see clearly who were setting fire to cars, buildings and civilians from the picture. If such violence happens in your hometown, will you ask your government to stop using guns? As I know, the Chinese army has been forbidden to retaliate upon the mob, which has caused injury to some young soldiers. And the victims till now are almost innocent Han civilians, even girls and childern. What's more, do you know the history of Mt. Everest? You can easily find some meterials from wikipedia about it. Before open your mouth saying something, figure out what's happening first.
Actually, the Americans, British, Japs are all mind-washed by their governments, with the western concept of "freedom". But unfortunately, there is never an unique answer to questions like "what's freedom". As the western countries have stronger troops and more powerful control on economy, they never stop trying to thrust their opinions on other contries, just like the US's aggression to Iraq, which has caused lots of deaths. So look at yourselves and open your history book to learn sth. I believe not all the Americans are idiots.
