Dalai Lama is US-controlled Nazi: China/ENG

2012. március 25./Times of India/Tibet Sun/TibetPress

China’s state-run media on Saturday described the Dalai Lama as a US-controlled “Nazi” and blamed the Buddhist leader for inciting Tibetans to commit self-immolations to protest Chinese rule in Tibet. “It is doubtable that the Dalai Lama would speak on behalf (of) Tibetans as he is sponsored by the US and his relatives work for the CIA,” said an officially sanctioned commentary posted on China Tibet Online and Xinhua news agency.

It accused him of instigating Tibetans to torch themselves by praising their boldness and asking to forgo Losar festival celebrations as a mark of respect for those committing suicide. “The remarks of the Dalai Lama remind us of the uncontrolled and cruel Nazi during the Second World War…. How similar it is to the Holocaust committed by Hitler on the Jewish!” it said. “The Dalai Lama is making people feel that those who commit suicide will win the privilege of the Tibetan leader praying for their soul.’‘

Around 30 Tibetans, including monks and nuns, have set themselves afire to protest Chinese policies. Most have also shouted slogans seeking the Dalai Lama’s return to Tibet.

“The Dalai Lama still treats himself as the serf owner, Tibet as his property and its people as his slaves,” it said. It criticized the Tibetan leader’s remarks that the government’s policies, including use of Chinese language in Tibetan schools, were eroding Tibet’s culture. It called the Tibetan leader a “tricky liar skilled in doubledealing” who wants to build a “Berlin Wall” of ethnic segregation and confrontation.
