60 years about the Tibetans in Tibet, known as the Cholkha-Sum (U-Tsang, Kham and Amdo) have had to live in a state of constant fear, intimidation and suspicion under the Chinese rule. However, in addition to maintaining their religious faith, a certain nationalism and their unique culture, Tibetans have been able to keep alive their aspirations for freedom. I admire the peculiar characteristics of the Tibetan people and their indomitable courage. I am extremely proud and proud of them.
Many governments, many nongovernmental organizations and various people around the world have continuously supported the cause of Tibet because it had interest in peace and justice. Especially last year, the governments and peoples of many countries have made important gestures, with which we have indicated their support. I would like to express my deep gratitude to each one.
The Tibetan issue is very complicated, as it is intrinsically linked to many issues of various kinds, such as politics, society, law, human rights, religion, culture, identity of an entire people, the ' economy and conditions of the natural environment. Therefore, to solve this problem requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account the benefits of all parties involved, rather than those of just one. Therefore we have always been steadfast in our commitment to a mutually beneficial policy, a path Intermediate, and we have made sincere and persistent efforts to prosecute him for many years. Since 2002, my sent six times they met with officials of the Republic of China to discuss important issues. These wide-ranging discussions helped clarify some doubts, have allowed us to express our aspirations. However, in terms of results, the more fundamental questions we have not achieved any concrete results. In recent years, moreover, Tibet has suffered more and more repression and brutality. Despite these unfortunate events, my position, my determination to seek a way forward and to continue our dialogue with the Chinese government remain unchanged.
The main concern of China is its lack of legitimacy in Tibet. The best way to give weight to their position is that the Chinese government pursues a policy that satisfies the Tibetan people, earning their trust. If we were able to achieve a reconciliation, through a path of mutual consent - as I did this many times - I would do everything possible to win the support of the Tibetan people.
in Tibet today, due to multiple actions of the Chinese government inspired by a total lack of foresight, the climate is seriously undermined. Because of their practice of transferring the local population, today the Tibetans are not increased in number, and the indigenous Tibetans have become an insignificant minority within their own country. Moreover, the language, customs, Tibetan traditions, which reflect the true nature and identity of the Tibetan people are gradually disappearing. As a consequence, Tibetans are increasingly being assimilated into the much larger Chinese population. In Tibet, repression continues, the number continues to multiply, unimaginable, brutal violations of human rights by denying religious freedom and politicizing religious issues. All this is happening due to a lack of respect for the Tibetan people by the Chinese government. These are the main obstacles that Beijing deliberately stands in the way of its policy of unifying nationalities, creating a de facto discrimination between the two peoples, the Tibetan and Chinese. Therefore, I urge the Chinese government to immediately end this policy.
Although the areas inhabited by Tibetan people are called by different names - the autonomous region, autonomous prefectures, autonomous counties - in fact they are autonomous in name only. In the real world do not enjoy any autonomy. On the contrary, they are run by people forget the regional situation, inspired by what Mao Zedong called the "Han Chauvinism". Consequently, this so-called alleged autonomy has not made any tangible benefit to the nationalities involved. These hypocritical policies do not correspond to reality, they are causing damage Dick, not only to their respective nations, but also the unity and stability of the Chinese nation. It is important that the Chinese government - as suggested Den Xiaoping - learn to distinguish truth from facts, in the literal sense.
The Chinese government severely criticizes me whenever I raise the question of the welfare of the Tibetan people before the international community. Until we reach a mutually beneficial, I have the moral and historical responsibility to continue to speak freely on his behalf. However, it is known that I am in semi-retirement since the political leadership of the Tibetan Diaspora has been directly elected by the people Tibet as a whole.
China is a powerful country and the rise thanks to the great economic progress. This is certainly positive, but has also given China an opportunity to play an important role on the global stage. The world is anxiously waiting to see how the current Chinese leadership will translate into reality the concepts set out in its "harmonious society" and "peaceful rise". To realize these concepts into reality, the only economic progress will not suffice. They must therefore be tangible improvements in respect for legality, transparency, right to information, as well as freedom of speech. Since China is a country of many nationalities, all should be able to achieve equality and freedom, to protect and safeguard their respective identities and their uniqueness, if you want that the country remains stable.
On March 6, 2008, President Hu Jintao said: "The stability in Tibet concerns the stability of the country and the safety in Tibet concerns the safety of the country." He added that the Chinese leadership must ensure the welfare of Tibetans, improve the attitude towards religions and ethnic groups, maintaining social harmony and stability. The statement of President Hu correspond to reality and we are the first to wish that everything happen.
This year the Chinese people are proudly and eagerly awaits the opening of the Olympic Games. From the beginning I agreed to the idea that China was granted the opportunity to host the Olympics on their soil. Since such important international events and even more so the Olympics celebrate the principles of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, equality and friendship, China should prove to be a good hostess by giving them freedom. Therefore, besides sending their athletes to the Olympics, the countries of the international community should remind the Chinese government the importance of these things. I came to know that many parliaments, many individuals, many non-governmental organizations around the world are preparing some activities for when China will have made a substantial change. I admire their good faith. I would like to make it abundantly clear that it will be very important to observe the period following the conclusion of the Olympic Games. These will in fact an enormous impact on the mentality of the Chinese people. The international community therefore should explore various ways of investing their collective energies in producing a continuous positive change in China after the Olympics that will be completed.
Let me take this opportunity to express my pride and my appreciation the sincerity, courage and determination of the Tibetan people in Tibet. I urge you to continue to work peacefully and in line with the law to ensure that all minorities in China, including Tibet, can finally enjoy their legitimate rights and benefits.
also take advantage of this opportunity to thank the Government and people of India, in particular, for their uninterrupted and unparalleled aid to refugees and to the cause of Tibet, and I want to also express my deep gratitude to all governments and people dealing with and caring for the Tibetan cause. For my part I pray for the welfare of all sentient human beings.
