Tibet envoy expresses hope for more talks with Chinese

The Dalai Lama's envoy Lodi Gyari has said from his home in India that Chinese negotiators were willing to continue talks with the Tibetan side.

Lodi Gyari who had met the Chinese officials earlier this week in Beijing said that there were strong and divergent views on the nature as well as the causes of the recent tragic events in Tibet.

He said that during the talks concrete proposals were exchanged, which could be a part of the future agenda.

China alleged during the talks that the Dalai Lama had instigated the disturbances in Tibet and protests elsewhere during the sojurn of the Olympic torch.

Gyari said that the Tibetan side had categorically rejected the Chinese accusations.

The team of two Tibetan envoys had argued that events in Tibet were "a clear symptom of deeply felt grievances and resentment of the Tibetans" towards Chinese government policies going back decades.

Dalai Lama's envoy said that the next round of talks should not be delayed and indicated that the dates for the meeting would be announced after discussions with his counterparts.

"The task at hand is to address the legitimate concerns of the Tibetan people in a realistic and constructive way," Gyari said.

"Despite major differences on important issues, both sides expressed willingness to addressing the issues at hand," he said.

He said the Tibetan side had appealed for an end to the current repression throughout Tibet, the release of prisoners and proper medical treatment for those injured in the recent unrest.

Gyari also called for an end to China's so-called patriotic re-education campaign, which he said was deeply resented by the Tibetan people.

Tibet envoy expresses hope for more talks with Chinese

If Tibet must remain as a state of China, then the people of that region should still be free to practice their own cultural and spiritual beliefs without interference.

They are free to Believe and Practice... , just as US Citizens...

... , But when it comes to State Business, the Oath is to the State Business, Just as it is in the US. Otherwise, becomes Treason, again just as in the US. We may make additional State concessions, such as not forcing a citizen to become a killer in the military, however service in a non killing support role is still manditory as and when necessary.

I know of no state that is subserviant to any or all of its citizens beliefs or choices.

As for self imposed exiles, they are quitersstanding right next to traitors! Some are simple cowards that want their way, and not willing to make the effort to convince fellow citizens in a particular way of dealing with life’s circumstances. Too bad!

But to say they do not have Freedom of Religion, IS INCORRECT!

Again so many mistatements of fact!
So now China allows for freedom of religion are you sure!

China since at least the 7th century and has demonstrated increasing influence for over 200 years.[1] Growth has been more significant since the loosening of restrictions on religion after the 1970s within the People’s Republic. Religious practices are still often tightly controlled by government authorities. Chinese over age 18 in the PRC are permitted to be involved with officially sanctioned Christian meetings through the “Three-Self Patriotic Movement” or the “Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association”.[2] Many Chinese Christians also meet in “unregistered” house church meetings. Reports of sporadic persecution against such Christians in Mainland China have caused concern among outside observers

In another move that both infuriates and attempts to suppress Christianity, China is reported to have banned Bibles officially—for athletes—from the 2008 Olympics. (1) The Bible was included on a “prohibited items list” prepared by the Chinese government and distributed to athletes who intend to participate in the China-hosted Olympics. Under penalty of Chinese law, Bibles may not be brought into the Olympic village. Interestingly, no ban applies or has ever applied to the Muslim Quran. Apparently, Islam and all of its practices are still to be allowed. Also, apparently (although the secular and decidedly anti-Christian mainstream press did not report this story), China heard about the uproar caused by its actions from the new media and is now denying they occurred.

Evidently the organizers of the Summer Olympics in Beijing are afraid of the Bible because they have put it on the list of prohibited items for Olympic athletes coming from other countries.


So much for freedoms!
I understand they may now allow Atheletes to bring one bible but no more or else.


I like how you support ONE OF THE most oppressive government on this planet always fawning over China like a love sick puppy.
You prove over and over just how deluded you are.

Learn the differences... , and then talk about

There are different Laws for Citizens of China and Visitors.

'Missionary Activity' has long been and is still a rouse of theives and underminers. The Jesuits being the first to be allowed into China, and the first to abuse their welcome.

The permission to preach or persuade/convert was rescinded quickly, and for hundreds of years remained so. After Nixon’s visit, the policy was relaxed, and the abuses returned under the guise of 'religious freedoms' in attempts to undermine the Chinese Government.

The 'Complaints' you make are false, and more like a little child’s stamping of his feet because he was told 'no'.

I believe the last group to get caught undermining the Chinese Government were CIA Baptists passing out Bibles. Stamp stamp... .

Fine choice of words.
Yes religion is a horrible thing in China any religion may just be better then the Eugenics exepriment in China!
IMF controls China and dictates many of the policies you talk about.
There is a reason why Chinese people educated abroad don’t go back if they can help it!
Moron!
