TURNING TIBET AT APOINT TURNING FOR POINT: TIBET: THE SPRING UPRISING AND CHINA’S NEW CRACKDOWN Nobel Peace Prize laureate the Dalai Lama. Tibetans have risked their lives in recent months to demonstrate that the exiled leader represents their interests, and not the Chinese state. 140
INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR TIBET ICT RECOMMENDATIONS ON TIBET THE UPRISING DURING THE SPRING OF 2008 and the continuing tensions in Tibet result from the failure of the government of the People’s Republic of China to implement a system of genuine autonomy for Tibetans concurrent with its campaign to dilute the Tibetan identity and, in particular, to constrain the practice of Tibetan Buddhism, of which devotion to the Dalai Lama is an integral element. A political solution is possible. Envoys of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Chinese officials have been engaged in a dialogue since September 2002. Unfortunately, six years of sporadic dialogue have not progressed to substantive negotiations and have not met the expectations of the international community, including several heads of state, for meaningful progress towards a mutually-agreeable solution for Tibet. The Tibetan position in the dialogue is that Tibetans be able to maintain their distinctive Tibetan identity into the future. Central to this position is the political right of autonomy provided to all Tibetans living in contiguous Tibetan areas, an area roughly defined by the geography of the Tibetan plateau, governed by a single administrative unit under a single unified policy. According to the Chinese government’s own analysis of its law on regional ethnic autonomy, the Tibetan people are entitled to the full political right of autonomy: • full decision-making power in economic and social development undertakings; • freedom to inherit and develop traditional culture and to practice religious belief; • freedom to administer, protect and be the first to utilize natural resources; and • freedom to independently develop educational and cultural undertakings. Given the disappointing results of the dialogue, the instability in Tibet and the unjustifiably and disproportionately harsh consequences for Tibetans involved in the spring 2008 demonstrations, and the intensification of Chinese government campaigns against the influence of the Dalai Lama, ICT offers the following recommendations: 141
