--The US has reiterated its call for a substantive dialogue between the Dalai Lama and China's leaders, while stressing the need for China to permit journalists and others reasonable access to all Tibetan areas.

The renewed call was made at a meeting Monday between the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader and the US special envoy for Tibet, Paula Dobriansky, at the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor.

'This meeting is part of our ongoing efforts to promote dialogue between the Dalai Lama and Chinese leaders,' the State Department stated after the meeting. Dobriansky 'reiterated our long-standing support for substantive dialogue between the Dalai Lama and China's leaders,' it said.

'This is not a new message, but rather one we have consistently delivered to all sides long before the current situation in Tibet, and one we will continue to deliver to our interlocutors at all levels.'

Dobriansky and the Dalai Lama also discussed the current situation in Tibet and the need for China to permit journalists and others reasonable access to all Tibetan areas, the State Department said.

'We've long held that that kind of dialogue is the best way to resolve the longstanding issues with respect to Tibet. And of course, that includes trying to help deal with the consequences of some of the recent violence there,' spokesman Tom Casey told reporters earlier.

Washington, he said, wanted to hear from the Dalai Lama about his ideas and what he believes might be the next appropriate steps in this. 'We are certainly going to, of course, also continue to have discussions with the Government of China about this.'

'Both in our public statements as well as in our private discussions with Chinese officials we've strongly encouraged them to reach out to the Dalai Lama and to his representatives to be able to have the kind of dialogue that would reduce tensions and help lead to a resolution of some of these differences,' Casey said.

Meanwhile, media reports from Ann Arbor said the Dalai Lama told Dobriansky he appreciated US concern with China's handling of the political unrest in Tibet and said 'we need your help.'

The administration 'has expressed its concern about the situation in Tibet and has urged restraint,' Dobriansky said.

President George W. Bush 'has been a steadfast supporter of the need for dialogue between his holiness and Chinese leaders ... we see a dialogue as an important means and way to go forward, ' she said

Sure, China I suspect will be all lovey dovey now towards Tibet and the DalaiLama.....that is until the Olympics are over then it's Tibet Russia style.

Hey Avro you are bang on. On the news Chinese military was physically oppressive with the women nuns who were protesting. These despicable idiots looked so bad with their uneducated little brains fighting women with no weapons. The fortunate part here is that the world has seen proof of how these losers think. I have friends from China who tell me how if one opposes the Chinese dictators they come in the middle of the night and take a family member out cut their hair funny and send them out in the public for a humiliating session, apparently these has been going on since the MAO days. My friend have witnessed people taken out and in savior cases drowned in the middle of the night and found the next day face down in city Pons. China here on the forum is so proud of his political rulers.

You dont't have any friends especialy in China ,......don't bull**** boy.

What is this, the Sportsplex Arena ?

My team is better than yours.

Nah nah .

Obviously China (the country, never mind the defender here) has issues.

You could actually say they are more free than any western country business-wise because of very little regulation and oversight. That will change as they grow.

Man, Kindergarten ethics is the same as International ethics, except kicks in the shin escalate to nuclear holocaust.

Lizard brain brats ----- the human race to nowhere.

destroying property and attacking people is not protesting

If you believe what the Chinese government tells you....

there are pictures showing monks and people destroying property and attacking people on the street. the anti-china western media will not show you that. and free tibet propaganda is a CIA creation.

Hey man trust me I have more friends than you will ever have. It is common knowledge that the Chinese leadership is watching you every step of the way. What I have posted on this forum it may be bull sh!t to you but I can assure you that the wrong committed against innocent civilians by the Chinese military police is on record all over the internet. So take your spin and shove it where the sun don’t shine.

Until 1959, when the Dalai Lama last presided over Tibet, most of the arable land was still organized into manorial estates worked by serfs. These estates were owned by two social groups: the rich secular landlords and the rich theocratic lamas. Even a writer sympathetic to the old order allows that “a great deal of real estate belonged to the monasteries, and most of them amassed great riches.” Much of the wealth was accumulated “through active participation in trade, commerce, and money lending.”

Quote:

Drepung monastery was one of the biggest landowners in the world, with its 185 manors, 25,000 serfs, 300 great pastures, and 16,000 herdsmen. The wealth of the monasteries rested in the hands of small numbers of high-ranking lamas. Most ordinary monks lived modestly and had no direct access to great wealth. The Dalai Lama himself “lived richly in the 1000-room, 14-story Potala Palace.”
Secular leaders also did well. A notable example was the commander-in-chief of the Tibetan army, a member of the Dalai Lama’s lay Cabinet, who owned 4,000 square kilometers of land and 3,500 serfs. Old Tibet has been misrepresented by some Western admirers as “a nation that required no police force because its people voluntarily observed the laws of karma.” In fact. it had a professional army, albeit a small one, that served mainly as a gendarmerie for the landlords to keep order, protect their property, and hunt down runaway serfs.
Young Tibetan boys were regularly taken from their peasant families and brought into the monasteries to be trained as monks. Once there, they were bonded for life. Tashì-Tsering, a monk, reports that it was common for peasant children to be sexually mistreated in the...
