Tibetans live with democracy for half century
by: 2005-03-10 11:14:08
Gyai'ra Losang Dainzin, a Tibetan with no political affiliation, was recently elected as a vice-chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region.
His father Lhalu Cewangdoje, a hereditary aristocrat in Old Tibet, had been appointed by the Dalai Lama to be one of the four principal ministers in the then Tibetan local government.
"There was no election of any kind in Old Tibet," Lhalu Cewangdoje said.
Though the term "democracy" originated in ancient Greece some 2,000 years ago, it was not introduced to Tibet until 1959, when a democratic reform was launched in the region.
Since the Tibet Autonomous Region was established in 1965, the systems of Tibet Regional People's Congress and Tibet Regional Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference also came into being.
Later, terms related to democracy, such as single-candidate election, scrutineer, autonomy and human rights, gradually appeared in Tibet.
Consequently, more and more Tibetans have become familiar with these political terms.
"I have turned from an ordinary citizen into a senior official with the emergence of such political terms. I have learned something new in the process of getting in touch with each new term," Gyai'ra Losang Dainzin said.
Qabai Cedain Puncog, a noted Tibetan linguist, said "each new word appears on the basis of social realities. They can't be concocted out of nothing".
The Tibetan language excluded these political terms in the past because democracy and election did not exist in the feudal serf society, Qabai Cedain Puncog added.
In the past, the linguist said, Tibetans were classified into three classes with nine levels. Slaves, who made up 95 percent of the region's total population, had no right to profiting from their production, let alone rights of electing and being elected.
Even for the remaining 5 percent of Tibetans, many of whom were noble lords and Buddhist monks in the upper strata, few were endowed with democracy of any kind, he added.
All the officials of Kasha, or the former Tibetan local government, were appointed by the Dalai Lama. The most wide-ranging meeting held in Old Tibet was attended only by the Dalai with his four principal ministers and heads of three leading lamaseries, he said.
Nowadays, Tibet has more than 70,000 officials, all of whom took up their posts through elections. Citizens of all ethnic groups aged 18 and above in Tibet have rights of electing and being elected, according to the Law Committee of the Tibet Regional People's Congress.
"Villagers in Tibet began direct election of village committee heads last year, which indicates that the political and democratic system in the region is steadily improving," said Zha Si, an official with the Tibet Regional Civil Affairs Department. "Democracy is spreading to every corner of Tibet," he said.

Democratic Reform
by: Chen Qingying 2007-03-29 14:44:05
On May 20 1957, with the tacit consent of the Gaxag Government, a group of rebellious elements moved from the eastern bank of the Jinshajiang River to Lhasa and built an organization called "four rivers and six mountain ranges" under the leadership of Anzhugcang Gongbo Zhaxi. In July the organization presented a "golden seat" to the Dalai Lama, while the latter gave hada to over 500 representatives of reactionary elements from Gansu, Qinghai and Yunnan provinces. In March 1958, the representatives of the "four rivers and six mountain ranges", the three leading monasteries of the Gelug Sect and Tibetan troops gathered at the house of Anzhugcang in Lhasa, plotting to stage a large-scale uprising. In June, Anzhugcang took spies for an airdrop and the setting up of radio stations in Zhegu Zong (County) of the Shannan area, where he established the foundations for the armed rebellion. In July, Anzhugcang announced the setting up of the "four rivers and six mountain ranges religion protecting arm" in Shannan, followed by rapid, widespread rebellion through most areas of Tibet. In Angust, nearly l000 rebels led by Anzhugcang rushed to the Qingkesi Munitions Depot of Namling Zong (County) in the Xigaze area, where they took away huge amounts of arms and munitions to be stored by the Gaxag Government. The "religion protecting army" further expanded their activities thereafter. In October, over 700 rebellious elements went to besiege the Zedang Station of the Shannan Working Committee of the CPC, but they were defeated after a fierce combat. Then, the leading officials of every Daiboin of the Tibetan army gathered to hold a meeting in Lobolin, which permitted Tibetan troops to join the rebellion, which many did. The rebellious elements launched large-scale attacks against the PLA. Under the direction and persuasion of the Central Government, the Dalai Lama gathered all Galoons of the Gaxag Government, Kampus of the leading three monasteries of the Gelug Sect, Commanders of Tibetan troops and assistant Kampus to hold a meeting, requiring them to accept responsibility for putting down the rebellion. Some reactionary elements, however, erroneously estimated the situation and held that the Central Government dared not to suppress their uprising due to the lack of PLA forces in Tibet. At the plenary officials meeting of the Gaxag Government held on November 5, under the pretence of discussing how to suppress the rebellion, officials of the Gaxag Government actually talked about how to support and launch an even bigger rebellion, and they made the decision that "the Dalai Lama had better not to attend the second National People's Congress" (NPC). The American CIA airdropped huge amounts of arms and munitions to the rebels in Shannan to support the reactionary activities. In December, the rebel army in Shannan ambushed the PLA trucks twice, killing around l0 soldiers each time. In January 1959, Anzhugcang, at the head of 2,000 rebels besieged the Zedang Station of the Shannan Working Committee of the CPC once again. The bitter fighting continued for more than 70 days and staff members were not rescued until the Lhasa rebellion had been put down. As the rebel elements fought in Shannan, more and more rebel groups gathered in the Lhasa area ready to launch a full- scale uprising. As the reactionary forces grew ever more violent, the Central Government and the Tibetan Working Committee repeatedly urged the Gaxag Government to take the responsibility to safeguard the peaceful order in Tibet and take effective measures to suppress the rebellion. But the reactionary forces of the Gaxag Government always adopted a double-dealing approach, conniving at and supporting the rebel forces, resulting in the Lhasa Incident in March l959.
During the Democratic Reform, the emancipated serfs wrathfully burning usury bonds, land leases and debentures that the three leading manor serfs depended on to oppress and exploit them.
On February 7 l959, at the ceremony of dispelling demons and evils on the first day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar held in the Potala Palace, the Dalai Lama met with Deng Shaodong and Guo Xilan, respectively deputy commander of the Tibetan Military Areas and Secretary-Gen-era of the Tibetan Working Committee. The Dalai Lama said he had heard that a military cultural troupe had come from the hinterland with many new programs and he would like to enjoy its performance. Deng Shaodong and Guo Xilan agreed immediately and allowed the Dalai Lama to establish the timetable. The Grand Summons Ceremony, when he would attend an examination for a Buddhist degree, was in Progress, so he suggested that he watch the program afterwards in the hall located in the military area. However, during the time of the Grand Summons Ceremony, the reactionary elements sent Tibetan forces to arrest two Han Chinese workers in the Lhasa Office of the Qinghai-Tibet Road Operations Company, spreading rumors that "the Han Chinese intended to assassinate the Dalai Lama but the murderers had been captured in the spot',. They continued to stir up trouble by spreading a rumor that a gun in the Trade Company Building was targeted on the sutra table of the Jokhang Temple. The Dalai Lama canceled his preaching on the fifth day of the first month of the Tibetan Calendar but this was due to his physical condition. The reactionary elements distributed leaflets, and openly opposed to the l7-Article Agreement and clamored for "Tibetan Independence", creating a climate of public opinion for their rebellion. On March l, the responsible person of the Tibetan Working Committee went to Norbu Lingka to fix the time and place for the Dalai Lama to watch the culture troupe performance. The Dalai Lama set the first to third day of the second month of the Tibetan calendar, namely March l0-13, and said the United Front Work Department should directly contact acting Kampus Jicho Garzhang Lobsang Renzen about it. The United Front Work Department and Garzhang Lobsang Renzen agreed the Dalai Lama would go to the military area to watch the performance at 3pm.on March l0.

In the meantime, the most of the Galoons and other reactionary
elements of the Gaxag Government, taking advantage of the fact that
the Dalai Lama would watch the performance, stepped up their
activities to launch armed rebellion and plotted to spirit the Dalai
Lama out of Tibet On March 9th, according to the instructions of the
Gaxag Government, Loka Waze Wangren Zengen, Miboin (Mayor) of Lhasa
City, spread rumors among the populace that, "The Dalai Lama would be
poisoned to death by the Han while watching the performance in the
military area. Hence, one person in every household was required to
present a petition to the Norbu Lingka, pleading with the Dalai Lama
not go to the military area". Lhasa citizens were misled by these
rumors and became panic-stricken. On the morning of March l0th, over
200 Lhasa citizens and hundreds of rebels from the Kam area rushed to
the Norbu Lingka to prevent the Dalai Lama from going to the military
area to watch the cultural performance. The rebels required that all
shopping centers and stores should be closed and all people should go
to the Norbu Lingka. At noon, the rebels smashed the cars of Sanpo
Cewang Renzen, the deputy commander of the Tibetan Military Area
injuring him. Later, the rebels killed Kainqung Pagbalha, a patriotic
member of the ruling class, and dragged his body through the center
of Lhasa City to terrify the locals. In the afternoon of that day,
the rebels and the most of the Galoons of the Gaxag Government
convened the "People's Conference" in Norbu Lingka, deciding to split
the Central Government and openly launch the "Tibetan Independence
Movement". According to the decision of the conference, Galoon
Soikang Wangqin Gele, Shekuba, Gadriang Lobsang Renzen and others
were in charge of the rebellion and Galoon Lhalu Cewang Dorje assumed
the position of Commander-in-Chief. As for the Tibetan officials
working in the Preparatory Committee for the Founding of the Tibetan
Autonomous Region, they were not allowed to continue work and were
required to give themselves lip and repent of their errors against
the "Tibetan Independent Country". The conference also decided to
dispatch armed monks of the Sera and Zhaibung monasteries to Norbu
Lingka to protect the Dalai Lama. Hereafter, in the name of "Tibetan
monks and secular people", the rebels posted notices in Lhasa,
announcing that Tibet was an independent country . They also sent
representatives to the Indian Consulate General in Lhasa seeking
protection from the Indian Government. They proclaimed that Tibet had
always been an independent country and they had formally launched the
"Independence Movement" today. On the evening of March 10th, about a
thousand monks of the leading three monasteries rushed into Lhasa and
the Tibetan troops in Lhasa made every preparation for a war. At the
same time, the rebels spread around Lhasa. The Gaxag Government
opened the munitions depot and distributed arms and munitions to the
rebels. The latter also cabled to Xagabba, who was in Kalimpong,
through the Indian Consulate General in Lhasa, authorizing Xagabba to
proclaim to the world that "Independent Tibet" had been established.
He was also instructed to deliver a report to the United Nations,
asking it to sent delegates to survey the situation in
Tibet.

In order to continue to win over the Dalai Lama, Tan Guansan,
Commissar of the Tibetan Political and Military Committee and acting
representative in Tibet of the Central People's Government, wrote
letters respectively on March 10th, 11th and 15th, expressing his
understanding and sympathy of the condition of the Dalai Lama, who
was being controlled by the rebels. Tan Guansan pointed out that the
anti-China activities the reactionary elements had launched had
developed to such a degree that the Central Government could no
longer to stand idly by. The Central Government now hoped the local
government of Tibet would change its erroneous attitude, otherwise
the Central Government would be forced to maintain the integration
and unity of the motherland. Dalai Lama replied that his life was
threatened by the rebels who were using the excuse of protecting his
life, and once he had a certain quantity of reliable forces, he would
go to the military area secretly. However, on the night of March
17th, arranged by Soikang, Liu Xia and Xia Su, three Galoons, as well
as Phala and Chegyam, the Dalai Lama, together with his family
members and guards, totaling over 60 people, fled from the Norbu
Lingka in disguise and headed for Shannan, crossing the Lhasa River.
As Chairman Mao Zedong had instructed on March l2th: "lf the Dalai
Lama and his retinue flee, our army should not obstruct their way. No
matter if they go to Shannan or India, let them go." So, during the
course of a two-week trek, they were not pursued or obstructed by the
PLA.

After the Dalai Lama left Lhasa, the rebels thought that they could go all out to launch attacks on the PLA and the Party and government organizations in Lhasa to drive them out. On March l9th, some 7,000 armed rebels were assembled in Lhasa equipped with artillery, machine guns and other heavy weapons. They occupied every major building of the Potala Palace, the Medicine King Mountain, Norbu Lingka and Lhasa City, besieging the military area and the Tibet Working Committee. At 3:40 a.m. on March 20th, the rebels staged attacked every organization, enterprise and institutional unit and the People's Liberation Army At 10 a.m., the military authorities decided to counterattack using no more than two regiments with artillery backing. At 6 p.m., the PLA seized the Medicine King Mountains, thus cutting the connection of the rebels between Norbu Lingka and Lhasa City. Then, the PLA, with artillery support, attacked Norbu Lingk from several directions. After a brief but fierce fight, the PLA soldiers destroyed the rebel headquarters. They then joined forces to besiege the downtown areas, and by the morning of March 21st, the PLA had occupied all the rebel positions apart from the Jokhang Temple and Potala Palace. On the morning of March 22nd, the rebels stationed in the Potala Palace and the Jokhang Temple raised the white flag and surrendered, marking the end of the rebellion. In the two day fight, 545 rebels were killed and 4,800 wounded or captured. The dream of the reactionary elements who had attempted to drive the PLA out of Tibet at one stroke was totally shattered, but they refused to give up their efforts. On March 26th, the Dalai Lama and his retinue fled to Longzi Zong (County) of the Shannan area, where Galoon Soiking in the name of the Dalai Lama proclaimed establishment of the "Provisional Government of Tibet" at a conference attended by the headmen and reactionary elements of the Shannan area. The Longzi Zong (County) was set as provisional capital. Galoon Soikang also issued an order in the name of the "provisional Government of Tibet" that Tibet had been "an independent country characterized by political and religious administration many years ago." On the 28th, Premier Zhou Enlai issued an order of the State Council, urging the military authorities in Tibet to totally suppress the rebellion, and proclaimed that the local government of Tibet was dismissed and the Preparatory Committee for the Founding of the Tibetan Autonomous Region would assume its powers. The order issued by the State Council also stated: During the time that the Dalai Lama remained kidnapped, the Panchen Erdeni was appointed to serve in the position of Chairman of the Preparatory Committee, Phabala Gele Namjer was Vice-Chairman, while Ngapoi Ngawang Jigmei would act as Vice-Chairman and Secretary General of the Preparatory Committee; Soikang, Liu Xia, Xia Su and 15 other reactionary elements were dismissed from all their posts and would be punished according to relevant State laws. On March 31st, the Dalai Lama and his retinue crossed into India and sought "political asylum". As the Dalai Lama participated in activities to separate Tibet from the motherland, on December 19 1964, the State Council issued a decision stripping him of all his titles, removing him as Chairman and a member of the Preparatory Commission for the Founding of the Tibetan Autonomous Region and other positions.
New tents and domestic animals received by the Jamzong's an emancipated family in the Damxung County.
Emancipated serf Ngawang elected as the first head of the Kaisong village of Naidong County, the first village to carry out democratic reform.
With the assistance of the broad masses of Tibetan people, the PLA tried to mop up the remnants of the rebellious elements in the following two years in accordance with the instructions of the Central Government, adopting a combination of military attacks and political disintegration. By the end of October l961, all had been eliminated. In the meantime, according to the policies of suppressing rebellion while launching reform created by the Central Government, the Tibetan Working Committee and the Preparatory Committee for the Founding of the Tibet Autonomous Region led the Tibetan people to launch a democratic reform movement, totally destroying feudal serfdom and overthrowing the rule of the feudal serf owner classes. All serfs were emancipated. The lands and herds that serf owners had held were redistributed to peasants and herdsmen. The feudal serfdom characteristic of the political and religious administration and the dictatorship of monks in the upper class and feudal nobles was destroyed. With regard to those serf owners who were not involved in the rebellion, they were allowed to keep one lot of land and other means of production before being bought out of the rest, reducing resistance to the reform. The Tibetan Working Committee and the Preparatory Committee for the Founding of the Tibet Autonomous Region stuck to the policies of peaceful reform as instructed by the Central Government, which guaranteed the successful completion of the democratic reform.

Tibetans against Dalai Lama's return
by: 2007-06-21 09:10:33
Qiangba Puncog, chairman of the regional government of Tibet Autonomous Region, speaks at a press conference in Beijing June 20, 2007. [china.org.cn]
( Qiangba Puncog is a native Tibetan, born and raised in Tibet )
The chairman of the regional government of Tibet Autonomous Region has said that the majority of Tibetan people do not want the Dalai Lama to return to the region.
Qiangba Puncog, chairman of the regional government, was asked to comment, at a press conference in Beijing, on two letters written by Puncog Wanggyai, a member of the Communist Party in Tibet, to Chinese President Hu Jintao in 2004 and 2005 asking for permission to let the Dalai Lama come back to Tibet. He was asked if the letters represented the view of the majority of the Tibetan people.
"I have not seen the letters but I have heard about the content. The content I know about differs greatly from the common opinions held by the majority of the Tibetan people," he said.
"His (Puncog Wanggyai) opinion does not represent the view of the majority of Tibetan people, nor does it represent views of the majority of officials in Tibet. It only represents a handful of people," said Puncog.
"The Dalai Lama travels around the world in Buddhist robes not for religious matters but to make Tibet issue an international one and to realize his own political purposes," he said.
He said the Dalai Lama's pursuit of autonomy or establishment of the greater Tibetan area actually disguised his pursuit of independence.
"People from the Dalai Lama side believe, 'once this succeeds, independence is not far away', and this reveals what they really want to do," he said.
Puncog said the channel of communication with the Dalai Lama and his personal representative has always been open. "I think the key question lies in the Dalai Lama giving up the claims of independence and separatist activities," he said, "we all expect him to show his sincerity and truly do some good deeds for the Tibetan people and the country during his lifetime."

The First Forum on the Development of Tibet, China is held in Vienna, Nov. 29, 2007. (Xinhua/Liu Gang)
Qian Xiaoqian, deputy director of State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China is making a speech in the forum, Nov. 29, 2007.
Tibet will further open up to the outside world and attract more direct foreign investment while promoting ecological and environmental protection, Nyima Tsering, vice chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, said here Thursday.
"We shall participate in domestic and international economic cooperation and competition in more fields and on a higher level, and strengthen cross-regional economic and technological exchanges and cooperation," Tsering said at the opening of "the First Forum on the Development of Tibet, China" in Vienna.
He said Tibet would work hard to develop an open economy and promote regional economic and trade cooperation on different levels and by various means, especially with southern Asian countries, in the wake of the launch of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
In his speech, Nyima Tsering elaborated on the progress achieved by Tibet over the past four decades and the challenges facing Tibetans.
He said that to pursue sustainable and balanced development of the autonomous region, Tibet must continuously push forward the "frog-leap" mode in economic and social development, accelerate infrastructure construction and promote the construction of "a new countryside."
It is a priority of the Tibetan government to improve the working and living conditions of farmers and herdsmen and increase their incomes, he said.
Tibet will also deepen reform and innovate systems, he added.
"We shall follow the established path of market economy development, treat the market as a guiding force, and continue to actively reform the investment and financing mechanism so as to attract more investment," he said.
According to Nyima Tsering, since the establishment of the Tibetan autonomous region, Tibet has been in the best period of economic development with the fastest economic growth thanks to the strong support of the central government of China and unselfish assistance by other parts of the country.
Tibet has maintained an economic growth rate of over 12 percent for the past six consecutive years, and in 2006, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the region reached 29.1 billion yuan (about 3.93 billion U.S. dollars), 89 times that of 1965, he said.
Over the last four decades, Tibet has witnessed comprehensive progress in social construction, he said.
"A fairly complete modern educational and medical care system has been installed in Tibet," he added.
There are six universities, 118 high schools, seven intermediate vocational schools and 880 elementary schools in Tibet, with a total enrollment of 540,000 students and attendance of 96.5 percent of the school-age population, he elaborated.
The life of the Tibetan people has improved significantly over the past four decades, he said.
"Social stability is being continuously maintained and people are enjoying their life and work," he said.
In his words, Tibet is a region rich in local resources, such as abundant grasslands, mineral, water, forest, flora and fauna, and tourist resources, which have created great conditions for Tibet's development.
But to achieve further progress, Tibet faces much challenges, he pointed out, citing weak infrastructure basis, investment and vulnerable ecological environment among others.
"We deeply understand we must make a lore more effort in the long run, and will sincerely implement a human-oriented and scientific outlook for coordinated and sustainable development, and work hard to solve existing problems while adhering to a policy of reform and development," he added.
The senior Tibetan leader encouraged people around the world to visit Tibet more instead of listening to "untrue" and "unfriendly" reports about the region.
"Tibet is a place where people live happily and also a beautiful tourist resort," he said. "I believe a fast-growing and new Tibet will leave every visitor an unforgettable memory."
The two-day forum on Tibet is jointly sponsored by the State Council Information Office of China, the Chinese embassy in Austria, the permanent mission of China to the United Nations and other international organizations in Vienna and Austrian organizations including the Organization to Support the Austrian and Chinese Economic Cooperations.

Primary School on Roof-of-the-World
http://pic.people.com.cn/GB/31655/6543727.html
This unique Primary School is located on Roof-of-the-World, 5573 meters above sea-level.
The Government of China is committed to provide a free-of-charge and compulsory education for every Tibetan child.
The Central Government of China invested a huge sum of money to re-build this school from ruins in 1986, so that the children of the nomads can receive an education.
This school covers an area of 8400 square meters and the building provides a useful area of 1221 square meters. The children are too far away from their nomadic families and are all staying in this boarding school for the entire school term.
Every morning the whole school will be singing the China national anthem.
The windows of this school are installed with double layers(rarely seen in China) due to winter fourty below temperature.
This school uses the latest technology, i.e. teaching Fine Art with computerized CD equipment.
The six teachers in this school and some of their students.
There are 141 students and all stay in this boarding school. It is too far from their nomadic camps. Students will learn how to take care of their bedding.
The school principal (also a teacher) is teaching his student how to read/write Tibetan.
The school principal's wife decided to move to such high altitude location, just to help out cooking tasks at the school.
Teaching Biology and practice it with a micropscope.
Students using computer aided equipments and internet access receive long distance educational training.
The cracks on a young face of every student review the hardship of the sun at high-altitude and lack of oxygen. It takes a very dedicated teaching staff to remain working long term in this special school.
The students automatically line up for their meals during lunch hours. This is a very well organized school.
Older students are serving rice (the main dish) to the students.
A study of the food being served, it reviews that students receive a very well-balanced diet.
After lunch being served, students are having fun at the school play ground.
During the Dalai Lama era there was no school or university, a child had to join one of the Monasteries to receive an education and that was the reason why many Tibetan mothers were forced by their own clans to give up their love ones to the Monasteries. Today, no Tibetan mother has to make such a decision.
The truth is that during the Dalai Lama era most Tibetan women were second class citizens and very seldom had any chance of an education. Today, all Tibetan children, both boys and girls, have equal chances of a free-of-charge and compulsory education. Tibetan women today provide a major and essential workforce in the government of Tibet Autonomous Region.
Without Lhamo Toinzhub(14th Dalai Lama), Tibet is better off today!
In 1951 Lhamo Toinzhub signed widely known as 'the 17 Pacts'
to run Tibet for Chairman Mao until he sneaked out in 1959.
For almost 9 years Lhamo Toinzhub had worked for Chairman Mao.

How A Ground-breaking Book Unveiled History as It Was
http://www.china-hiking.com/tibet/invasion.htm
In 1959 conned by then Ambassador in India(Henderson) at his own free will,
Lhamo Toinzhub left Tibet and thus had given up his right to run Tibet.
As an early version of Iranian Czar or Filipino Marcos, he was tricked to leave Tibet.
Since 1959 for 49 years Tibet Autonomous Region has been run by capable
native Tibetans, most of whom were a SERF during Dalai Lama era.
These Tibetan leaders should be the only people who can make decisions
for the future of Tibet Autonomous Region, NOT Lhamo Toinzhub.
He has neither Tibetans' Trust nor experience to run Democratic and Modern Tibet.
Tibetans do not want someone both a Political and Religious leader to head Tibet.
Why do nations want to have Tibet returned to a SERF system under Dalai Lama?
It is because they want to control Tibet with a puppet like Dalai Lama.
This will lead Tibet into neither Democratic nor 'Freedom of Choice'.
Our World is enough to have only one Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini !
Lhamo Toinzhub has to realize Tibet today is a well established society,
and stop allow himself being used as a puppy by nations against China.
It is sincerely hope before his approaching death Lhamo Toinzhub
(14th Dalai Lama) will give up his so called 'Tibet Independence'
and for once in entire life doing something good for people of Tibet.
The only way to avoid ending up in history like Iranian Czar or Filipino Marcos!
