■ Future torch relay


To begin with, what is the reason for Tibet's integration as a cause, as a Tibetan refugee exiled from China to India, now it is understood that you read the following story by Mr. Pema Galpo of Professor of Faculty of Toin in Yokohama University I will.

Listen to Mr. Tibet / Pema · Galpo who made an active volcano (1)

The Chinese government has given Tibet the name "Autonomous Region" and said it is "autonomy" that the Dalai Lama sought. Although face-up is advocating reconciliation, in fact it continues to do religious repression against the faith of Tibetan Buddhism, restrictions are added to the temple including the prohibition of pictures of the Dalai Lama's pictures, various kinds of monk's activities We are monitoring. Although it became convenient by the opening of the Blue Railway, the reality is that the Chinese people steadily got in and bought the Tibetan stuff by hitting the budget and the Tibetans did not benefit from tourism development. There are Tibetan dissatisfaction with this.

The pope is seeking advanced autonomy. It is said that they want Tibetan people to learn about domestic affairs, culture and religion. It is as stated in the 17-year agreement that China and Tibet originally formed in 1951. China promised to promote school education development including Tibetan ethnic rights, religious religious freedom, Tibetan language, and everything China is defeating. Tibetan language has become the second foreign language, and the textbook is also Chinese. If I want to receive higher education, I can not take the exam unless I can speak Chinese. In the school, it is criticized for "traditional faith in Tibetan Buddhism," clinging to the old constitution and having no reform spirit ". It is exactly what the pope has expressed as 'cultural massacre'.

Because of this kind of background, the torch relay is not just a sports event but a political problem and it has developed into such a situation, but these confusion is not officially "not" Whether it is turned on, it is hidden by photographs and movies on the page of the torch relay gloriously, naturally.
