The Plunder of Tibet by China

By nature’s beauty & bounty I claim together with all the Tibetan people and of the world ownership to the entire territory of Tibet.

Emblem of Tibet, used by the 
Tibetan Government in Exile. 

MY ISSUES against culprit China.

1. Tibet is confirmed to have the existence of the biggest uranium reserves in the world. The uranium mining and processing in Tibet is done with unforgivable callousness. 

The radioactive contamination of groundwater in Ngapa, Amdo is of great concern in the region with reported deformed birth of humans and animals and death of many Tibetans from drinking contaminated water near this uranium mine. 

2. China had dumped an unknown quantity of radioactive waste on the Tibetan plateau.

The Tibetan plateau gives birth to some of the longest rivers of the world; The Machu (Huang Ho, or Yellow River), the Tsangpo (Brahmaputra), the Drichu (Yangtze), and the Senge Khabab (Indus) and home to 2,000 natural lakes some of which are sacred and play a special role in local culture.

3. Recent landslides and flooding of biblical proportion in China and neighboring nations, is no longer surprising with the apparent denudation of vast hill sides resulting to the lost of the world’s highest stock density for conifers. The volume of timber that China has taken away from Tibet itself far exceeds the amount that it has spent to build the infrastructural facilities in Tibet. 

4. The desecration and destruction of an environmentally sensitive areas in Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, along the Yarlung Zangbo River among the deepest and longest canyons in the world with their unabated mining of “Nyixung” metal (a 250 mile stretched) needed for electrical wiring and power generation in mainland China. 

5. Tibet rich in oil have not been spared by China with the desecration and ecological destruction of the Lunpola Basin with the first oil well and proven three million tons of oil reserve in addition to the over one million tons of crude oil that Amdo’s oil fields produce per year.

6. Tibet has an exploitable hydropower potential of 250,000 megawatts, the highest of any country in the world. Large hydroelectricity projects have displaced Tibetans from their homes and lands while tens of thousands of Chinese workers are brought up from China to construct and maintain these dams. 

The Yamdrok Yutso hydropower project guarded by 1,500-strong PLA troops and off limits to civilians is a project that China claims to be of great benefit to the Tibetans. Why then the exclusion and the use of the army? 

Tibet is made to play a pivotal role in fulfilling the huge demand for power in China at the cost of its own helpless, poor natives. The environmental, human and cultural toll of these hydroelectricity projects will have to be borne by the Tibetans. 

7. Nagqu Prefecture, has welcomed inland and foreign investors to exploit the gold, oil, antimony resources of northern Tibet’s plateau and invest in infrastructure all over Tibet. This place has two alluvial gold mines and a gem processing plant in Lhasa. Tibet now is home to 200 mining areas with 28 kinds of mineral ores. 

Tibet’s Mount Everest, at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft), is the highest mountain on earth with nine other Tibet’s peaks included in world’s top ten are the prime source of water supply to the several major rivers of the Tibetan Plateau and flowing down to the Yangtze, Yellow River, Indus River, Mekong, Ganges, Salween and the Yarlung Zangbo River (Brahmaputra River).

Lhasa is Tibet's traditional capital and the capital of Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) with over 800 settlements. Shigatse is the second largest city, west of Lhasa including Gyantse and Qamdo are also amongst the largest.

Atheistic China’s ample way to eradicate religious practices and arbitrary silencing of the Tibetan culture has taken toll. 
There is more to the reported self-immolation of monks and a nun a result of the over tightening restrictions on religious practice and heavy-handed policing in Aba, a traditionally Tibetan region under Chinese control. As of November 28, 2012, at least 86 people have set themselves on fire since the immolations began in 2009 

Associated Press/Freetibet.org, File - FILE - In this Oct. 23, 2012 file photo released by London-based rights group Freetibet.org, Dorje Rinchen, a farmer in his late 50s, runs after setting himself on fire on the main street in Xiahe, in northwestern China's Gansu province. Chinese authorities are responding to an intensified wave of Tibetan self-immolation protests against Chinese rule by clamping down even harder — criminalizing the suicides, arresting protesters' friends and even confiscating thousands of satellite TV dishes.

It cannot be terrorism in disguise as what China government claims. 
The Tibetan culture is spiritual while the Han culture is material. This is very hard to understand by the Han people and the outside world who can’t believe how Tibetans would do things out of a spiritual desire, including setting themselves on fire.

Tibetan’s self-immolations express a form of misery and an evident outright protest from frustration over China's stifling security presence, restrictions on religion and the demonization of their beloved spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.

The Hans view the immolations as part of attempts to break away from China and wonder why Tibetans aren't more grateful for government development of their region with rail links, expressways, houses and factories.


It was not meant to attack other people or the Chinese government but a complete sacrifice of oneself out of frustrations.


Tibet The Story of a Tragedy
Uploaded by Windhorse on Mar 2, 2006 (56 minutes)

China has not only taken the soul of the Tibetan people but is culpable in the evident plunder of Tibet’s natural resources, unconscionable ecological destruction and should be held answerable not only to the Tibetan people but to the world. 

Tibet with many other resources will provide China the edge to become the world’s richest economy at the expense of natures’ rape. 

The extent of ecological damage is beyond description and irreparable. The religious suppression is unthinkable in this global generation we all belong to now. 

China is exploiting far more from Tibet than what it is giving back. It has stolen nature’s bounty not only from Tibet and the Tibetans but from the world.

Even water can be a source of conflict between India and China if not addressed sensitively.

Truth, courage, determination Tibet will be liberated

Jerusalem is not the Kingdom of Heaven (title of a movie) but just a place made of stones.

If Palestine and Israel allow greed, resentments from past history prevail, all amicable settlements will fail. It should be based on a singular premise and that is to uphold peace and security for the protection of its people. Other economic players with selfish motives should give way and step back for this common good, after all from dust we came and to dust all shall return. Not a dime we can bring when we pass this life to the next.

Israel's Old City Of Jerusalem With The Dome Of The Rock

Fri Nov 30, 2012 marks the birthday of the State of Palestine that won de facto U.N. recognition with 138 votes in favor, nine against, 41 abstentions and three countries that did not take part in the vote.  The 65th anniversary of the adoption of U.N. resolution 181 has partitioned Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states.

Now "E-1" a designated area and both claimed by Israel and Palestine for their respective expansion and development plans threaten even deeper more the much awaited peace that still remains elusive for decades. "E-1" blocks east Jerusalem from its West Bank hinterland and is an area that Palestinians are demanding along with Gaza, for their future state.

While Israel have said actual construction on the Jewish housing project may be years away if it ever gets off the ground at “E-1”, . . . .  it has ordered roads closed leading to the area and had the military declare a closed military zone and shut off access.

Something to think about before embarking upon a boycott of Israel!

On the other side of the coin, should Palestine insist on an undivided territorial claim of Jerusalem (old wall, Muslim, Jews and Christian places) chaos and loss of lives will be inevitable and will ruin any chance of peace and reconciliation.


If all else fail, then Israel and Palestine should then move forward either to declare it as an open city, partition with joint consensus or allow all civilians to depopulate the place so they can save the lives of their families. Again it is just a place of stone and not the Kingdom of Heaven


Many religions have footholds and beginnings in Jerusalem and even Russia is in Jerusalem and the world continuously watch closely on these events.

Concessions and compromise are key players in cementing a positive outcome.
