Stalker, I am pretty sure, you did not listen the Dalai Lama?s speech carefully. You must have listened amid distraction. I suggest you listen again. And I am not sure, how much I understood from your postings, whatever you wanted to express minus whatever I could not understand, here you go?. You mentioned ?there is cold war?. Do you freak out when you write something? Unless it is some pentagon scoop, no one has claimed this as ?COLD WAR? I do not disagree that the USA points out figure first if there is any violation on human rights. That is what they did in Kuwait in early 90s despite some HUMANITARIAN VETETRAN?S comment that US poked its nose on Middle East (and may be for oil). Had it not the US, Kuwait would not be a nation today. So is the issue with Taiwan. I do not claim to be the only one with information that some Chinese (and a few Taiwani?s) claim Taiwan as their own land. To reciprocate this Chinese claim is to comply with UN charter (if UN charter does mean anything). I agree that China many become economic super power one day. That would not be a bad news to anyone. As some journalist says ?China is the country which went from bicycle ear to Audi era in just two decades?. The economics indices indicate the same way. If I am not wrong, Chinese per capita income is looming around $1000.00 compare to 300-400 about a couple of year ago. But, China certainly has to long jump to catch up with the highest per-capita income of ~$30,000.00. As per my understanding, the economic growth is because of cheap labor market consumed by the west. The west keeps on shifting the labor market from time to time. Example is Mexico and Latin America where the USA used their cheap labor market for very long time. Not to mention, Mexico?s and some other Latin American country?s economy was getting stronger in those days. And finally, the Dalai Lama was not in Rutger to disseminate his political belief. I believe there was no speck of Tibetan politics. Despite the fact that his speeches do not mingle any connotative political gestures on such lectures, he is the leader of exiled Tibetans in Dharmasala and around. Later
