September 25, 2000] International Campaign for Tibet FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 25, 2000 CONTACT: John Ackerly, Bhuchung Tsering, 202-785-1515 "The Tibetan Government-in-Exile's position with respect to development is clear: it supports projects which benefit the Tibetan people and opposes those which cause harm to them" read the statement released by T.C. Tethong, Minister for the Department of Information and International Relations based in Dharamsala, India. Minister Tethong based his statement on the Guidelines for International Development Projects and Sustainable Investment in Tibet, issued by the TGIE. "Like the recently defeated World Bank project, oil and gas development in Amdo (Qinghai) will involve the resettlement of large numbers of Chinese and will threaten the cultural integrity of Tibetans in the area" said John Ackerly, President of the International Campaign for Tibet. "This is a tremendously important statement. TGIE is accepted by Tibetans throughout the world, including in Tibet, as their sole legitimate government. Prospective investors would do well to heed the TGIE's warning". In late May of 2000, Agip, the Italian oil company, entered into an agreement with the China National Petroleum Company (CNPC) to explore for gas and oil in the Sebei region. Enron is also a major investor in the Chinese petroleum industry, and reportedly gave engineering and design assistance to PetroChina for the construction of the pipeline. Finally, the Chinese oil company Sinopec, which will have its IPO on the New York Stock Exchange in October, holds the rights to Tibet's Lunpola oil field, northwest of the capital city of Lhasa.

Published by The Canada Tibet Committee. Issue ID: 01/08/22; August 22, 2001.] by Lobsang Wangyal DHARAMSALA, India, Aug 20 (AFP) - Samdhong Rinpoche, former chairman of the Tibetan parliament, was elected Monday as prime minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile in the first popular voting held on Indian soil. The 64-year-old Rinpoche secured 84.5 percent of 30,000 votes polled in two rounds of balloting which began in May, election chief Namgyal Dorjee said, announcing the results in this northern Indian town where the exiled Tibetan government is headquartered. It was the first time that Tibetans had directly elected a head of their exiled government in India, Dorjee added. Observers said Rinpoche would find acceptability among the rank of the Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC), the radical wing of the Tibetan campaign which has upped its demand for time-bound strategies to secure freedom from Chinese rule. "The new prime minister should bear in mind the real situation in Tibet and should work out a strategy so that Tibet becomes independent and that Tibetans would be able to return to their homeland in the next 10 years," TYC president Tsetan Norbu said.

However, we feel that these are the very qualities that the Tibetan people need to carry forward our non-violent struggle and to sustain it.

OPEN LETTER TO THE TIBETAN GOVERNMENT IN EXILE Français Italiano Brussels-Rome, April 29, 1998 Dear Mr. Prime Minister and Members of the Cabinet, The initiative of the hunger-strike undertaken some weeks ago in New delhi by six Tibetans, is provoking a growing emotion all over the world. This initiative has the unquestionable merit of recalling to the conscience of public opinion the tragedy of your people, their inexpressible sufferings during those last forty years, the inability of the international community to affirm the value of Law and of dialogue, the hypocrisy of the ruling classes as prolix in words as miserly in actions. Unfortunately, the initiative of the Tibetan activists, as understandable as it is urgent and necessary, risks failing if one does not proceed immediately to convert the objectives of this action into really attainable and concrete goals. Their hope, as well as that which their action triggered in millions of people, risks, tragically, to end in despair. We need to take action at once, to bring this initiative back towards a "new possible", reasonably and concretely achievable today. The objective of 1.300 parliamentarians from all the world asking the UN General secretary, Mr Kofi Annan, to receive H.H. the Dalai Lama is something possible. It could become - together with that of the appointment of a UN special rapporteur for Tibet and the introduction of Tibet on the agenda of the next General assembly, for example - the first stage of the worldwide Satyagraha for the freedom of Tibet and for democracy in China.

Tibet (Government in exile) Leaders: Dalai Lama Panchen Lama Karmapa Lama Tradition says Dalai Lama was recognized as a reincarnation of the thirteenth Dalai Lama when he was two years old. He rules over the Tibetan people Dharamsala, India. Around 35,000 Tibetan people live in Nepal and more than 150,000 of them live in India. Dalai Lama has voiced hopes that the recent agreement in June between China and India regarding trade and working together will lessen tensions and eventually pave the way for more autonomy for Tibet in China's borders. When only a boy, Panchen Lama was acknowledged as a reincarnation of the previous by the Dalai Lama in 1995. The Chinese authorities immediately took him into custody and to this day no one knows his whereabouts. Later the Chinese recognized another Tibetan boy as Panchen Lama. Tibetans outside of Tibet held protest marches for his release on Panchen Lama's twelfth birthday this year. Karmapa Lama is third in the hierarchy over Tibet. This teenager is the only Lama of such seniority to have been recognized both by the Dalai Lama and by China. He escaped China and fled across the Himalayas to where the Tibetan government is in exile, and lives in a monastery there. India finally has agreed to allow him to stay in the country.

Asia Resources DESTINATIONS A Walk in Dharamshala Sanctuary for Tibetan Culture By Daniel Kaplan An ongoing correspondence from GORP contributor Dan Kaplan, as he travels the ancient Silk Routes across southern Asia. A smiling young monk walks slowly up the cobbled street, fingering wooden prayer beads beneath his maroon robe. When we pass, I hear him muttering mantras under his breath. A refreshing morning breeze sweeps down from the mountains, making the prayer flags flap crisply around me. I wind my way down Temple Road to the monastery. To my right, an aged, wrinkled nun takes baby steps around a holy gompa. She reaches with arthritic effort to spin a prayer wheel. The red and black Tibetan script blurs as she moves on to the next wheel. The smell of incense wafts into the street, and I overhear rumors that His Holiness the Dalai Lama may make a public appearance tomorrow. As a young man, the Dalai Lama escaped Tibet in 1959, and was welcomed by the Indian government, who established the young leader in this former British hill station, secure from their common enemy. Tens of thousands of refugees have since followed His Holiness into exile, and with international attention drawn to Tibet over the last decade, Dharamshala has become a popular travel destination.

China, 1951 to present. (E) The state of semi-independent 19111951 (1) The revolution of China, 1911 Under the pressures of Western Powers and Japan, and domestic rebellions, Ching court lost its `Mandate of Heaven' (Tian-Min). When there was a small disturbance at a city along Yangtse river, the disturbance spread to several areas. Ching court decided to abdicate instead of fighting. Gone with Ching court was the old establishment which had helped ruling China for several thousand years. Only after many years, did people realize that they lost not only `pig-tails' but also the central government of civilian services. China plunged into chaos. Many provinces were independent or semi-independent for one time or other. Let us come back to the problem of Tibet. In 1911, the New Army which was the garrison of Lhasa revolt following the event of Yangtse river. Tsu Tsan Dachen was captured. Then there was a fight between Tibetan army and New Army. None wanted to fight to death. Each guarded a corner of Lhasa, and shot from a distance. It lasted a few months, and people ran back and forth to cry to each camp. Finally, New Army had enough and was bribed to leave. Since then until 1950, Tibetan army was the only force in Tibet. Traditionally, Tibetan just wanted a peaceful land to worship Buddha.

home search help worldguide ... Postcards Tibet History Little is known of the beginnings of the Tibetan people. They originated from the nomadic, warlike tribes known as the Qiang. The Yarlung kings unified much of central Tibet and extended it into central Asia, northern India and Pakistan. It was through conquest that Buddhism made its appearance in the kingdom, although bloodthirsty theological disputes weakened its support and clerical monastic Buddhism experienced a 150-year hiatus, coinciding with the collapse of the Tibetan empire in 842. By 907, China had recovered almost all the territory it had lost to the Tibetans, and the two states had little contact until Genghis Khan's arrival in 1239. The Mongols were impressed enough by the by-now resurgent Tibetan Buddhism that they made it the state religion of the Mongol Empire in East Asia. The collapse of the Mongol empire ended the relationship a century later. In the 15th century, the rise to power of the Gelugpa order of monks, whose lamas were believed to be reincarnations of their predecessors, once more attracted Mongol approval. The third such lama received the title of 'Dalai', meaning 'Ocean,' and implying 'Ocean of Wisdom.' It marked the Gelugpa's entry into turbulent waters of worldly affairs. Not surprisingly, the local nobility monastic elite saw the alliance as a threat, and conflict ensued. In 1611 the king attacked Drepung and Sera monasteries. The fourth Dalai Lama fled Tibet and died at the age of 25 (he was probably poisoned) in 1616. In 1640 Mongol forces intervened. The Tibetan king was taken captive and later executed. The fifth Dalai Lama assumed power within Tibet, which was pacified with Mongol backing by 1656.

Young Dalai Lama Spiritual Leader Peace and Non-Violence Statesman ... Tour The Historical Status of Tibet: A Summary The Tibetan Government in exile, headed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled Head of State and spiritual leader, has consistently held that Tibet has been under illegal Chinese occupation since China invaded the independent state in 1949/50. The People's Republic of China (PRC) insists that its relation with Tibet is a purely internal affair, because Tibet is and has for centuries been an integral part of China. The question of Tibet's status is essentially a legal question, albeit one of immediate political relevance. The PRC makes no claim to sovereign rights over Tibet as a result of its military subjugation and occupation of Tibet following its armed invasion in 1949/50. Indeed, the PRC could hardly make that claim, since it categorically rejects as illegal claims to sovereignty put forward by other states based on conquest, occupation or the imposition of unequal treaties. Instead, the PRC bases its claim to Tibet solely on the theory that Tibet became an integral part of China seven hundred years ago. Early History Although the history of the Tibetan state started in 127 B.C. with the establishment of the Yarlung Dynasty, the country as we now know it was first unified in the 7th Century A.D. under King Songtsen Gampo and his successors. Tibet was one of the mightiest powers of Asia for the three centuries that followed, as a pillar inscription at the foot of the Potala Palace in Lhasa and Chinese Tang histories of the period confirm. A formal peace treaty concluded between China and Tibet in 821/823 demarcated the borders between the two countries and ensured that, "Tibetans shall be happy in Tibet and Chinese shall be happy in China."

Canada and Tibet The following is an extract from Determining Basic Human Needs in the Tibet Autonomous Region , by the Canada Tibet Committee, Montreal, January 2001. For a copy of the full report, please contact cantibet@tibet.ca Chinese forces first entered Tibet via its eastern regions in 1950. Under the guise of development assistance and political reforms, the People's Liberation Army moved steadily westward and quickly overwhelmed Tibetan resistance, eventually consolidating control in the capital city, Lhasa. In March 1959, with the young Dalai Lama under threat of abduction by Chinese authorities, the people of Lhasa revolted and were immediately and brutally crushed. It is estimated that 10,000 were killed in Lhasa alone and 80,000 more soon followed the Dalai Lama across the Himalayas into exile in neighbouring India. Over a million Tibetans have died since 1959 as a direct result of the Chinese occupation, either through harsh prison conditions, summary execution or starvation. The United Nations General Assembly passed three resolutions supporting Tibet citing various violations to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the Tibetan people, including the right to self-determination

Tibet File No.14: UK and China Relations A submission by Hugh Richardson, formerly of the Indian Foreign and Political Service, to the Foreign Affairs Select Committee in November 1993 for the enquiry on UK relations with China in connection with Tibet in the 20th Century At the Younghusband Expedition to Lhasa in 1904 a treaty was signed by the British Government directly with the Tibetans agreeing inter alia the frontier between Sikkim and Tibet, establishing trade marts in Tibet, and attempting to exclude any other foreign power from political influence in Tibet. In 1906, without the participation of the Tibetans, the British Government concluded a treaty with China which, although refusing to acknowledge Chinese sovereignty over Tibet, greatly reduced the advantages of the 1904 Treaty. In 1907, again without informing the Tibetans, the British Government signed a treaty with Russia binding itself not to negotiate with Tibet except through the Chinese and not to send representatives to Lhasa. For the next few years they could only watch the Chinese attempting to restore their lost influence in Tibet. That culminated in a Chinese invasion of Lhasa in 1910 and the flight of the 13th Dalai Lama to India, where he established a close rapport with Charles Bell, the Political Officer of the Government of India in Sikkim.
