Black days for the Dålai LåmaPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, March 19, 2008 11:35 AM
Here are two perspectives on recent events in Tîbet: Black days for the Dålai Låma
This long post looks at the increasing militancy of the exile movement the Tîbetan Youth Congress and its president Tséwang Rîgzin, and how this will effect the situation in the Himalayan former kingdom. There's another informative post on the same blog called Tibetan Intifada that examines why the world may come to regard "direct action in Tibet as a Buddhist intifada led by confrontational hotheads, with monasteries and nunneries filling the role of extremist madrassahs". The blog is on Blogspot, which is blocked in China.
Update: There is another blog post displaying alternative views on the subject, with plenty of links and sources at Moon of Alabama. Excerpt: The current protests by Tibetian exiles and in Tibet are at least partly financed with U.S. government money and have similarities with the color revolutions. Unlike those they are likely to fail. The Indian government stopped the exile-march and the Chinese will make sure that any protest in Tibet will be supresses. Found via a comment on Peking Duck. |

Books on China
Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
The WTO ruling: a half victory at best: In August 2009, a World Trade Organization panel ruled against China's system of monopoly control over entertainment products. Was this the victory supporters hailed as the dawn of a new day for American and global entertainment companies in the China market?

Comments on Black days for the Dålai Låma
If you find both of these articles through Peking Duck, at least give Richard some credit.
Dpark:
While Peking Duck is on my daily reading list, you may notice that his posts were published about an hour after this one.
In fact, I found one of the articles because I know the author, and the other because this man has a superb Google Reader shared items feed.
I did however just add an update with a link found thanks to Peking Duck, whose posts I looked at after your complaint. .
But which time zone are you in?
Kidding, didn't notice the time, I take my comment back. Good find, both articles are excellent.
叛乱者,杀无赦。
"China and India: Oh to be different"是我这几年读过的最好笑的文章了,亏那个作者还洋洋洒洒写了那么一大套,印度要是真那么不在乎的话,干嘛不干脆让克什米尔独立? 阿萨姆邦三天两头闹分裂,搞爆炸,那么麻烦,何不也割出去? ~( ̄▽ ̄)~*
印度和中国的唯一区别就是:印度没有那么多西方媒体在里面搅混水,没有那么多"人权战士"搞小动作!! ╭∩╮(︶╭╮︶)╭∩╮
> 叛乱者,杀无赦。
人家杀你也这么说呢。
> 叛乱者,杀无赦。
>>>人家杀你也这么说呢。
没有人杀我!
Tibetan people have lived in peace and prosperity for scores of years, as a part of China PRC.
The brutal killing under the name of "protest" in Tibet is hideous.
Any political goal achieved in this form would never last, if achieved at all.
