A Stitch in Haste

China’s Communist dictators are “warning” sovereign nations not to meet with the Dalai Lama, whom they classify not as a head of state and spiritual leader (which of course would be bad enough under China’s “official churches” system of repression), but rather as a “separatist” –

The Dalai Lama, who was in Washington for a spiritual conference, told reporters Tuesday that Chinese rule over Tibet remains “very, very oppressive” despite efforts by his representatives to build confidence during discussions with Chinese officials.

The Tibetan spiritual leader said he had hoped to see “some leniency” in China’s rule over Tibet after four rounds of talks, but said this has not happened.

Of course, the fact that Tibet was indeed “separate” from China until 1950, when the Communists invaded the Himalayan nation populated mostly by Buddhist monks, might explain the Dalai Lama’s “separatist” leanings. Go figure.

But heck, what’s a little “very, very oppressive” conduct by a brutal autocracy when there are neat-o skyscrapers to be built (incidentally, it would take 6,000 new skyscrapers in China to rival the number of monasteries the Communists have destroyed in Tibet since invading it).
