The Dalai Lama will not submit to the Chinese Communist Party.

MCLEODGANJ, India — The Dalai Lama said Sunday that he would not instruct his followers inside Tibet to surrender before Chinese authorities, and he described feeling “helpless” in preventing what he feared could be an imminent blood bath.

“I do feel helpless,” he said in response to a question at a wide-ranging, emotionally charged news conference here in what has served as the headquarters of the Tibetan government in exile for nearly 40 years. “I feel very sad, very serious, very anxious. Cannot do anything,”

His aides said they had received reports from Tibet of 80 killings on Thursday and Friday alone, in and around the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, including 26 slain just outside a prison called Drapchi. Chinese state media has reported 10 deaths and characterized most of them as shopkeepers ”burned to death” during protests.

For the second straight day on Sunday, protests spread into different Tibetan regions of China. Buddhist monks and police reportedly clashed in a Tibetan region of Sichuan Province. A crowd of 200 Tibetan protesters burned down a local police station, news agencies reported.

The world watches history happen right before its eyes.

The Big Question:

Will the Communists conduct another massacre?

I'd strongly advise against such a course of action, for the consequences for the Chinese Communist Party would mean the acceleration of its inevitable, imminent downfall. Another massacre, particularly as the world watches, would sound the death knell of Communism in China.

The Chinese Communist Party must leave Tibet, period. End the illegal occupation!
