The Next Tibetan Uprising?
So when will the next major anti-Chinese uprising happen in Tibet?
Wang Lixiong says expect the next big one -- at the latest -- when the Dalai Lama dies. He made his prediction in a Chinese blog post on his wife's web site responding to the news that the Dalai Lama was losing hope in a dialogue with China. I've included a translation below.
Wang is a writer and probably the deepest thinking Chinese scholar on Tibetan issues. For years, he's contended that the only longterm solution for China would involve direct negotiations with the Dalai Lama. Ultimately, he's said China should allow the Dalai Lama to return to Tibet and that the Communist Party should seriously consider the Dalai Lama's "middle way" solution for Tibet that would allow the territory some autonomy but also still place it firmly within the Chinese state. For his troubles, and for those of his wife, the Tibetan writer Oser, who is also an advocate for Tibetan issues, Wang is currently under a form of house arrest in Beijing.
