Here We Go Again!

China's recent overture to Dalai lama that they are willing to talk if Dalai lama renounce independence for Tibet is nothing startling. It is yet another typical Chinese ploy to put the blame for lack of effort on Dalai lama. It is evident that china is losing confidence and their hold on Tibet. The Chinese leadership seemed to be suffering from memory lapse or they are deliberately choosing to show their ignorance on the sincerity of Dalai lama's effort to bring about an amicable resolution to address the Tibet's issue. He has displayed his sincerity time and again to have genuine dailoque with Chinese leadership on their own term. Since early 1980s and thereafter, Dalai lama has made public that he is seeking a genuine autonomy comprising three provinces of Tibet where Tibetans can preserve their culture, practice religion and protect the ecology and environment of Tibet. He has said he do not wish to seek independence for Tibet. Nothing has changed about his overture to resolve the Tibet's issue and yet China always chose to blame the Dalai lama for somehow not renouncing his quest for Tibet's independence. What a hypocrite! Dalai lama has made his intention very clear from the very beginning. Let the Chinese leadership revisit the 1987 five points peace plan and 2001 Strasbourg Speech before the European Parliament. No where in his statements, he has mentioned about seeking independence for Tibet but rather a sincere and comprehensive proposal to resolve the Tibet's issue.
Chinese leadership should stop blaming Dalai lama as an obstacle to resolving the Tibet's issue but should wake up and face the reality. Continued lingering of their desire to engage Dalai lama is an indication of weakness and lack of confidence in finding an amicable resolution to Tibet's issue.
