The Chinese Premier Wen Jia Bao uses his last major press event before the summer Olympics to blame the Dalai Lama for inciting and organising violent protests, aimed, he said, at sabotaging the games.
It's a battle that's moved from the streets of Tibet and India to the press con
ference hall.
With the Beijing Olympics looming the Chinese premier used his annual news conference today to put the blame for the violence uprising away from his door and said rather the unrest was organized, premeditated, and masterminded by the Dalai Lama himself.
Jia Bao said: "There is ample
evidence to prove that this incident was organised, premeditated, masterminded and incited by the Dalai (Lama) clique.
"They wanted to sabotage the Olympic Games in order to achieve their unspeakable goal. This has revealed that the consistent claims made by the Dalai clique that they pursue not in
dependence but peaceful dialogue are nothing but lies."
However, the image of Tibet China is promoting today is that of shops reopening, children going back to school - business as usual.
But the pictures handed out by Free Tibet campaigners this morning told a different story.
At Kirti Monastery
, a place of prayer in the Sichuan Province images of what appear to be bodies on the streets cannot be independently verified.
Recently a handful of people assaulted police on duty in the streets of Lhasa and engaged in beatings, smashing, looting, and arson.
Over 30 buildings and 100 civilian ho
uses including schools, hospitals, banks and shops were burnt. Scores of civilian and police cars were set on fire.
10 innocent civilians were burnt or stabbed to death and 12 armed police seriously injured.
But the Tibetan government in exile said it had cross checked its figures and believed 99
protestors had died - 19 were killed in fresh protests today.
A statement from the Chinese embassy released today still put the number of innocent civilians killed at just 10.
The Dalai Lama has threatened to step down as Tibet's leader if the violence spirals out of control.
The exiled leader se
t up his own news briefing to send a clear message to the protestors - dialogue not bloodshed or he would resign he said.
He said: "If things go completely out of control then I will go."

confirm a previously announced plan to reopen riot-hit Tibet to foreign visitors on May 1, amid a report the date will be pushed back. But the US-based International Campaign for Tibet said today it had received "reliable reports" that the plan had been scrapped and Tibet might not be reopened until after the August 8-24 Games.
ân's Han increase from 6% in 1949 to 40% (officially, unofficially over 50%!) is a FACT! "Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps" is a FACT! Nuclaer tests in Kazakh area is a FACT. Double wages for Han colonists in Tibet is a FACT! Relocation of Mongol shepherds and overtake by Han farmers of g
rassinglands is a FACT! Gulja massacre is a FACT! For you atheist money and wealth is god, but this life is temporal and so is wealth, there are MORE important things
They do'nt want Tibet to be dumping ground of nuclear waste. They want there environment to be protected and not destroyed by mad man in Beijing. They don't want missiles and nuclear bombs in its soil-- as Buddhism stands for peace where as communism stands for world domination.

Free from what?..Communist China invaded and occupied Tibet. You guys claims china freed Tibet from Feudal system.
Feudal system was a part of Chinese history and Feudal system still exist in Chinese community.
You go to any China Town,feudal system still exist.Even movies made by famous Jet Li and Jackie Chang shows how they fight with Chinese businese men who exploit the Chinese people (Evil form of feudal system).

silly stupid troll
shut the fuck up
you are without the ability to discearn sarcasm as such you need to jump off the "I Give A Damn" bandwagon right now.
pretensious cunt.
My original post to you pertained to your conversation with hathdhanda wherein you clearly illustrated your inability to recognize a dialog which is political satire. Not to debate the content of the video, though judging by your 8th grade-level reading comprehension, you probably dont know dick about that either.
You can stop posting to me now. Im done responding.
Free Tibet and the world from CCP state terrorism!
now please. fuck off.
And you started with a word like 'cunt', which I don't like.
Anyways, IF you
áre for freeing Tibet and for Tibetans we maybe should overcome our differences and look at what we have in common since I did see your comment to ProChina1.
perhaps. but if you really want to do that you need to show a little more intelectual cunning. i am very put off by people who exhibit an inability to discearn sarcasm. mabey it wasnt hathdhanda but someone you convoed with posted quasi-offensive statements intended as satirical commentary and you
r response seems to be taking it literaly which i find down right infuriating
im reminded of a song Took Took Breakdown by a thia reggea band whose name i cant rememberwherein a man from a forigen country asks a thia cab driver for directions but the language barrier is so confusing that both men become frustrated to the point of nearly comming to blows until a band starts to paly and the two dance to the same beat.
cheers :)
