Scenes in which a handful of rioters resort to violence against unarmed locals in Lhasa and some ethnic Tibetan areas since March 14 have stunned people, and filled all those people of a good intention with indignation, with grief over innocent victims, and a sense of gratification over the government's move to settle the incident according to law.
Even when more and more evidences are pooled and the truth behind have further revealed or exposed, the Dalai Lama clique continues to fabricate facts and turn "black into white". The Dalai clique and some Western media have gone so far as to whitewash the riots of mobs as "peaceful protests of people" whereas the actions taken by the Chinese government in accordance with law was claimed to the "ethnic conflicts"
It is very difficult, however. to translate lies into the truth, and it is also impossible to cover up violent crimes,
Shortly after the Lhasa riots erupted on March 14, police seized a lot of offensive weaponry in some Tibetan Buddhist temples or Lamaseries where rioters incited or fanned up violence. Among those weapons seized, there were 178 rifles or guns, 13,013 rounds of bullets, 359 knives or swords, 3,504 kilograms of explosive, 19,360 detonators and two hand-grenades. Even the most kind-hearted people or devout men or women can tell what these weapons have meant and whether the riots in Tibet on March 14 are "peaceful protest" or "violent crimes"?
Please look at the ensuing figures:, 18 innocent civilians were killed, and another 382 locals wounded, 58 seriously in the Lhasa riots on March 14, and thugs set fire at more than 300 sites, impaired 908 malls or booths, seven schools, 120 residences and five hospitals, assaulted and smashed 10 banking outlets, and ruined at least 120-room unit housing structures, and destroyed 84 cars or trucks. Can any country in the world term such violence as "peaceful protests" and any government brush aside such violent actions?
Facts have eloquently proven that the "March 14" violent crimes have not only harmed the Han people and but people of other ethnical minorities. There are three Tibetans victims involved: One Tibetan doctor was beaten black and blue simply for the sake of protecting kids of the Han people, whreas a Han Chinese woman came to the aid of two ethical Tibetan kids, and was beaten up and got crippled. Hence, it is perfectly clear that violent actions are detrimental to people of all ethnicities and, then how can the Dalai clique said they were "ethnic conflicts"?
Acts of rioters have aroused vehement indignation of the people of all ethnicities, and it is the common desire of people across Tibet to bring them to justice. "No organization or individuals are allowed to have the privilege of overstepping the Constitution," according the Constitution of the People Republic of China (PRC), and "all are equal before the law".
These law-breakers or rooters committed murder, looting, arson and other acts of vandalism against innocent civilians in a serious violation of the laws of the PRC and resulted in a gravely disruption to the normal social order of Tibet and, for this, no civilian society can give in or tolerate, and no responsible government can sit idle by.
Laws are a precondition for order, the foundation of civilizations and a guarantee of people's happy life. If the violation of law is indulged and violent crimes are forgiven, it would mean to profane laws, impair the civilization and, still more, to encroach upon the sacred rights of all ethnical people. The endeavor to cope with violent crimes in line with law constitutes the basic norms generally accepted by the contemporary international community, a baseline held by a civilized society and an essential requirement of a country under the rule of law for safeguarding the dignity of its laws.
It has been the consistent acts for the Dalai clique to take no heed of laws and look to schemes for succession with the use of violence. When such moves draw global denunciation, the Dalai clique began to adjust their strategy and change tactics accordingly. They bent every effort for a "Middle Way" solution, shifting from a political worry to a cultural worry to confuse right and wrong and deceive the general public.
In the current world with a highly-developed information industry, and before the history and facts, however, the Dalai clique is simply "lifting a rock only to drop on their own feet" with an attempt to conceal "violence" with the so-called "peace", play with words to hide their "true colors" or essence for succession move, and even to achieve their "Tibet independence" plot by sowing discords among people of various ethnicities. Such an attempt is predestined to be brought to justice and to be contemned by the people and the history alike.
