1975: Introducing the Tibetan People to the World

By Dr Kazuko Tatsumura Hillyer | New York | 17 July 2020.
Ever since I met the Dalai Lama in 1972, I’ve come to love the Tibetan people. With great pains, I introduced the Tibetan “Folk Opera” to the world in 1975 (see 5th story). For the first time ever, Tibetans left their community to travel to the West. Twenty-four performers came to tour Europe and America for the very first time. With a great deal of difficulty, I created a wonderful plan for them to perform for two weeks in four countries: Vienna in Austria followed by the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland.

China needs to be held accountable for Covid-19’s destruction

By James D. Schultz and Sean Carter | CNN | 21 June 2020.
That the Chinese government has significant culpability for the global spread of Covid-19 and needs to be held accountable for its misconduct should not be a partisan issue. We already know that the Associated Press has reported the Chinese government concealed critical facts about the emergence of the virus; that local officials silenced voices of warning; and that as a result, actions of Chinese officials most likely deprived the world early on of critical information about the virus’ transmissibility and lethality.

Don’t blame ‘China’ for the coronavirus — blame the Chinese Communist Party

By Josh Rogin | The Washington Post | 20 March 2020.
We must all be specific in blaming the Chinese Communist Party for its actions. It was the CCP that hid the virus outbreak for weeks, silencing doctors, jailing journalists and thwarting science — most notably by shutting down the Shanghai lab that publicly released the first coronavirus genome sequence.

China should be wary of meddling in the Dalai Lama’s reincarnation

By Ngodup Dongchung | The Week | 27 Jan 2020.
The story of Tibet under China has been one of suffering and suppression. According to the 70,000 Character Petition, submitted to the Chinese leadership in 1962 by the 10th Panchen Lama, over 90 per cent of religious institutions and cultural centres in eastern Tibet had been destroyed, and monks and nuns forced to marry and tethered to manual labour.
