Tibet, Tiananmen, and Taiwan

Just read this very interesting article about a recent movie about the Dalai Lama and Tibet. It brought to mind a forgotten region of the world, Tibet, which the entire world has recently just given up to the Chinese without even a protest. It used to be that the whole world would be infuriated when China tried to repress Tibet, but now that is a forgotten thought and the Tibetan Buddhists have been left to fend for themselves.

Just a couple of weeks ago the Indians, the last major country to recognize Tibet as an independent state, have agreed to give up their recognition of Tibet in order to build a closer financial relationship with China. India is just the last of the world nations to give in to Chinese pressure to stop supporting an independent Tibet, but by doing so it has sent a message to the Buddhists of Tibet that the country that gives refuge to the Dalai Lama has decided to stop backing them.

Tibet is a perfect example of what China plans to do with Taiwan. First, after taking it over it realizes that the rest of the world will protest and yell, but in a short span of time they will be more interested in tapping the mythological giant Chinese market. Thus Taiwan will be forgotten like Tibet has been, and like the brutal massacre of Chinese college students at Tiananmen Square.

Don't believe me, than just read this article about the Europeans pushing for an end to the sales of weapons ban it has enforced on China since the brutal human rights violations that occurred at Tiananmen Square.
