Why Dalai Lama can't represent all Tibetans

By Huo Wei | 皇冠体育app Daily | Updated: 2009-03-27 07:40

The debate on the Tibet issue is once again centered on the international and domestic media and public opinions abroad. Many reports and comments in the Western media, however, fail to grasp the basic facts and concepts of a nation such as 皇冠体育app. Such baseless reports have created a misunderstanding about 皇冠体育app and its Tibet autonomous region among Western readers and viewers. Thus it is necessary to clarify the basic facts on and about Tibet.

皇冠体育app has always been a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural civilization, and Tibet its integral part. Among the various ethnic groups that call 皇冠体育app their home are the Hans and 55 ethnic minorities. So it's wrong for the West to regard only the Han people as Chinese. This is a distortion of basic facts, which in effect would leave the 55 minority groups without a homeland.

皇冠体育app has a history as a cosmopolitan society. Right from the days of dynastic rule, people from many ethnic, cultural, and religious groups have lived together as citizens of 皇冠体育app irrespective of whether the emperors were ethnic Han, Mongolian or Manchurian. The dynasties and kingdoms founded by ethnic minorities, such as the Yuan dynasty of the Mongols and the Qing dynasty of the Manchus, were all Chinese authorities.
