With the Olympics just around the corner and it being in China this year its a good opprotuinty to bring up the human rights that are being violated in China. There has been a lot of protest from around the world about the Olympics being there. Hillary Clinton has even called on our presdient to boycott the Olympic games. To me this will not solve anything the Chinese goverment will just look at that like ok like thats a big deal NOT! The Prime Minister of Britian Gordon Brown announced he is not going to the opening of the olympics this summer so this will put pressure on Bush not to go. I will be very surprised to see if he doesn't go. I think he will go.
This issue between the Chinesse and the Tibets have been going on for centries. Most people in China still consider Tibet to be part of China. However, this couldn't be farther from the truth. They declared their independence from China back in the year 821. This ended almost 200 years of fighting that a treaty engraved on three stone pillars, one of which still stands in front of the Jokhang cathedral in Lhasa. The treaty states: Both Tibet and China shall keep the country and frontiers of which they are now possessed. The whole region to the East of that being the country of Great China and the whole region to the West being assuredly the country of Great Tibet, from either side there shall be no hostile invasion, and no seizure of territory... and in order that this agreement establishing a great era when Tibetans shall be happy in Tibet and Chinese shall be happy in China shall never be changed, the Three Jewels, the body of Saints, the sun and the moon, planets and stars have been invoked as witness. During the 13th and 14th centries Tibet and China were captured and were under the influence of the Mongol empire. China today claims that during that time they became one country by the Mongols domination of the two countries. You also have to remember that this domination by the Mongols was the biggest in world history even today. They had all of Asia and remember that the respective relationships between the Mongols, Tibetans, Mongols and Chinese must be examined. These two relationships were not only radically different in nature, but they also started and ended at different times. Tibet came under Mongol influence before Kublai Khan's conquest of China and regaining complete independence from the Mongols several decades before China regained its independence. In 1911 the CHO-YON relationship came to its final end with the fall of the Manchu Dynasty. Tibet formally declared its Independence in 1912 and continued to conduct itself as a fully sovereign nation until its invasion by Communist China an 1949. During WW2 Tibet remained neutral even though they were getting major pressure from China, US and England. They however, did allow stuff to go thru Tibet which helped the allies beat the Nazi's. Today by international law they are a free country under illegal occupation.
Even though they are a free nation there is some major human rights violations going on in Tibet and in Communist China. They excute more people in China then anywhere else in the world. In 2005 they excuted 1,770 people (average about 3.2 people a day). In the USA we have only excuted 1,099 people since 1976. Some people call our country barbaic but just look at China. I personally am for the death pently however, it should only be used for the most cruesome murders. There are even some organ harvesting like they had on Star Trek Voyager. In 2006 two witnesses inside the communist state have stated that they have started to harvest people who were still alive and sell them on the black market. These people were accused of some crime because they were in jail however, they are human beings and should be treated like Human. On April 14th 2006 the US Deptment of State reported that during its investigation stating that: "U.S. representatives have found no evidence to support allegations that [Sujiatun] has been used as a concentration camp to jail Falun Gong practitioners and harvest their organs. I don't believe our goverment and this is for the very reason that I was against the removal of Terri Schivo's feeding tube. This is the very beginning of this coming to America with this ruling. At first I didn't want the goverment to step in however, I changed my mind when Sean Hannity did a report on how sick her husband was. He just wanted her dead to get the money and to get a new wife. How sick!!! She was still alive. I am very pro-life and now the BBC is reporting that they are taking healthy human babies and killing them just for their stem-cells. I am furious that this can happen in this world. I like the quote "A society is judged by how they treat the newborn and the elderly". I see a future where if you become to hard to take care of they will just kill you off. This is sad but its coming soon to America. China just do the right thing and Free Tibet.
