    Comment: It feels so ridiculous to just read through all these questions. How can a reporter ask those questions, which went so far to takesuch a biased position. Come on, are you really from US, who have been always claiming to report just the truth? is here really "NewsWeek", who are renowened as a mainstream magzine. Shame on you, guys!!!

    Comment: The US is founded on " occupation", no occupation, no US in the first place. So it's really hilarious. So many Americans act like the moral center of the world when they're massuring another people, let alone stole all their land by buthering the original occupants. after that, y can be still as righteous as Americans. What does that say about America

    Comment: DALAI LAMA and NAZI&HITLER
    The film Seven Years in Tibet, produced recently by Hollywood and based on the novel of the same title by Heinrich Harrer, an Austrian, has been shown in the United States and some other countries. The film, with Harrer as the leading character, not only seriously distorts history, but also takes great pains to beautify the 14th Dalai Lama and build up Harrer. Certain Western news media took advantage of the opportunity to raise a hubbub, praising Harrer as a "hero", "the guardian of human rights" and "the best ambassador to Tibet". So, what kind of a fellow is Harrer?
    A Faithful Nazi
    Valid documents prove without a doubt that Harrer is a former Nazi who has successfully hidden his identity for more than half a century.
    In May 1997, Gerald Lehner, an Austrian correspondent, found in the Washington-based National Archives an 80-page document detailing Harrer's Nazi ties. In addition, a reporter from the German weekly Stern also discovered in the Federal Archives in Berlin a file related to Harrer's Nazi background. The file recorded that as early as October 1933 Harrer worked for the German Nazi Sturmabteilung (SA, storm troopers) which was illegal in Austria at the time. Hitler annexed Austria on March 15, 1938. Shortly thereafter, Harrer joined the German Nazi Schutstaffel (SS, defense echelon). He was assigned to Squadron 38 with a designation 73896, and was promoted to Oberscharfuehrer (squadron leader). On May 1 the same year, Harrer joined the NSDAP (Nazi Party) with membership number 6307081.
    Harrer was a "favorite of the high-level Nazi group" who was personally received by Hitler. Harrer and several Germans climbed the northern slope of Mount Eiger in Switzerland in July 1938. A short time later, he was personally received by Hitler, and a group photo was taken to mark the occasion. The photo has been kept up until today. According to an article carried in the New York Daily News on June 19, 1997, Hitler thought especially highly of Harrer who had "conquered the northern slope of Mount Eiger", appointing him to train crack Nazi troops who later became ruthless murderers who firmly implemented Hitler's "final solution", the extermination of Jews.

    Comment: DALAI LAMA and NAZI&HITLER
    In December 1938, Harrer married a so-called "pure-blooded Aryan". Heinrich Himmler, head of the Gestapo and commander of the Nazi Schutzstaffel, approved the marriage.
    Harrer was captured by the British army in India in September 1939, with his behavior while in prison proving once again that he was a faithful Nazi. On November 1,1943, foreign ministers of allied nations - the United States, the Soviet Union and Great Britain - announced the Moscow Declaration, which called for the reconstruction of Austria and cited the fact that Austria was a victim of the Nazi Germany's policy of aggression. The declaration called on Austrian people to liberate themselves and fight against Nazi Germany.
    Shortly after release of the declaration, Austrians in regions controlled by Britain and other allied nations organized anti-Nazi resistance groups and broke with Hitler and the Nazis.
    In 1939. Britain accelerated efforts to screen war prisoners, with only Nazis refusing to accept the declaration continuing to be seen as war prisoners and remaining in custody. Harrer was among the remaining prisoners following the screening program.
    On April 29, 1944, six months after release of the declaration, Harrer succeeded in his fifth attempt to escape from prison. Harrer and Peter Aufschneiter, a Nazi and fellow prisoner, fled to Tibet rather than Austria.
    Various documents clearly show that while in prison Harrer wanted to go and seek refuge in Japan, Nazi Germany's ally in World War II.
    Harrer arrived in Lhasa, capital of Tibet, and in 1946 became the tutor for the 14th Dalai Lama who was then only 11 years old. Harrer fled Tibet in 1951. He concealed his Nazi history and returned to Austria before resettling in Leichtenstein where he wrote the book entitled Seven Years in Tibet.
    Downright Political Swindler
    Harrer is a political swindler living on lies. Many people suspected Harrer's Nazi connections long before his past life was fully exposed. Harrer flatly denied all accusations and concealed his Nazi history for a half century.

    Comment: DALAI LAMA and NAZI&HITLER
    After the files which provided indisputable proof of his Nazi ties were discovered, Harrer, resorting to habitual trickery, attempted to gloss over his crimes and continue to deceive the world.
    According to Stern, Harrer flatly denied the records in the files even after learning that his files had been discovered. He declared that he had never applied for membership in the SS or any other Nazi organization. When shown his Racial and Residential Administration Investigation Form and handwritten resume, both of which demonstrated the fact that Harrer had served in the SA in Austria and the SS in Germany, Harrer was forced to admit his disgraceful Nazi past. According to the Austrian weekly Profil (43rd edition, 1997), Harrer offered the following response to a staff reporter's question concerning the files, "That was 60 years ago...It was nothing. You discovered it, so you answer the question." Harrer went so far as to proudly proclaim, "I have something to show off, too."
    On July 30, 1997, following the exposure of his background, Harrer contacted Simon Wiesenthal, a well-known researcher on Nazis, claiming that he had no close contact with the Nazis. but instead the latter had indeed approached him.
    However, Harrer's former colleague and Austrian mountaineer Reinhold Messner refuted his assertions and said, "Harrer can in no way claim to be simply a follower, since no one was coerced into joining the Nazis in 1933." The fact remains, however, that Harrer did join the Nazis.
    Yet another case in point is that Nazism was illegal in Austria in 1933. Ample documents indicate that Harrer associated himself with the Nazis at that time in an attempt to achieve a meteoric rise.
    Harrer claimed that climbing the Eiger was a matter of personal interest, and that he in no way intended to please the Nazis, nor obtain Hitler's favor. However, according to Stern's report, Harrer exhibited great excitement as he was being received by Hitler after scaling the Eiger.
    The report quoted Harrer as saying, "It was an estimable reward for us to meet and talk with the Fuehrer. We scaled the northern slope of Eiger, crossed the summit and reached the place wherein the Fuehrer lived."
    Messner noted that Nazism was popular with mountaineers in Germany and Austria at that time having mountaineering backgrounds. The German-Austrian Mountaineering Association which Harrer joined was an organization clearly bearing the stamp of the Nazis.
    According to an article in the Austrian weekly Wochenpresse, the major task of an expedition Nazi Germany sent to Tibet in 1939 was to investigate the possibility of establishing the region as a base for attacking the British troops stationed in India. The expedition's second major assignment was to verify Heinrich Himmler's Nazi racial theory that a group of pure-blooded Aryans had settled in Tibet.

    Comment: DALAI LAMA and NAZI&HITLER
    The article pointed to the fact that Harrer had direct contacts with the expeditionaries. It noted that Harrer eventually managed to escape imprisonment and made his way to Tibet. His primary objective in going to Tibet was to get in touch with the expedition and continue his "special mission".
    Harrer repeatedly disclaimed familiarity with members of the German expedition led by Schaefer. He attempted to demonstrate that he had nothing to do with the Nazis. However, Bruno Beger, an expedition member, said he and Harrer were good friends, and Harrer was an acquaintance of Schaefer.
    Profil, the Austrian weekly, carried a later report revealing that Harrer obtained photos from members of the expedition to Tibet for a private exhibition, and that he had in turn published an album of Tibetan scenery in his own name.
    The Heinrich Harrer Museum in Harrer's home town is known to house numerous exhibits of suspicious origin. Beger confirmed that the exhibits were collected by the German expedition prior to 1939.
    Typical Opportunist
    Harrer was an opportunist well versed in trimming his sails in addition to being good at gaining fame by deceiving the public.
    Harrer joined the SA when the Nazi movement was just gaining momentum in Austria in the early 1930s. He betrayed his country and sought refuge with the German SS half a month after the Nazi invasion of Austria.
    His pursuit of power and fame was rewarded with an eventual personal meeting with Hitler who promoted him to the rank of captain in the SS and ordered him to train an elite Nazi unit.
    Harrer escaped from prison and fled to Tibet in 1944 rather than his home town. He arrived in Lhasa in 1946. Harrer got in touch with the 14th Dalai Lama and became his tutor. This particular period of experience in his life earned him the admiration of a select group of people in the West.
    Harrer hurriedly fled Tibet in 1951, just after the arrival of the People's Liberation Army in 1950, and returned to Austria in 1952. That same year, Harrer, who was fully aware of the fact that his history as a Nazi would be exposed if he remained in Austria for a prolonged period, resettled in Lietchtenstein, a principality bordering on Switzerland. He lived there for several years.
    Thereafter, he set about fabricating the book Seven Years in Tibet and dressed himself up as an "authoritative Tibetologist" and brave "hero" who dared engage in exploration.
    Seven Years in Tibet, which was published in 1952 and has since been translated into 40-odd languages, has been widely distributed with sales exceeding 5 million copies.

    Comment: His tie with NAZI (3)
    Harrer's background was laid bare last May at a crucial stage in promoting sales of the movie. Brad Pitt, who plays the part of Harrer, announced that he would most likely have refused the part had he known of the protagonist's Nazi background.
    Harrer's lawyer, a representative for the producer and the director reached a secret agreement in London to cope with the emergency situation. A minor revision in the movie added various plots which portrayed Harrer as, though having a relationship with the Nazis, resenting and disavowing the organization. The revisions drew a distinct line between Harrer and the Nazis.
    The Dalai Lama faced a dilemma following the public disclosure of the scandal. On the one hand, he addressed the situation by consulting with the movie producer and director, and on the other attempted to cover up for Harrer and divert public attention.
    Seven Years in Tibet was screened last October following repeated schemes and intrigues undertaken by Harrer and the Dalai Lama. Harrer did not attend the Los Angeles premiere due to the disclosure of his Nazi past, and the Dalai exhibited his lack of courage by failing to attend the Austrian premiere.
    There is nothing strange that Harrer, a faithful Nazi, eulogized feudal serfdom and lavished praise on the Dalai Lama, the single largest owner of serfs in old Tibet. The perplexing aspect lies in the fact that Harrer managed to escape punishment despite his verified Nazi affiliation. Instead, he found favor in Hollywood, which meticulously established and vigorously promoted his "image".
    Related efforts on the part of Hollywood enabled Harrer to gain great fame, a level of acclaim which he far from deserved. Despite the disclosure of Harrer's Nazi background and much to the surprise of many people, Hollywood continues to feature Harrer at center stage and even resorts to the clumsy trick of fabricating lies to camouflage his heinous past.
    Seven Years in Tibet extols a notorious Nazi as a "hero" and induces people to admire an officer of the SS, which was dedicated to the destruction of mankind.
    Extreme approaches of this nature, which blaspheme art and diametrically opposes the human spirit, lead people to believe that the movie producer and director totally lacked rationalism and conscientiousness, and cast doubts on the quality of Hollywood productions.

    Comment: His tie with NAZI (3)
    Despite the fact that Harrer tutored the then 11-year-old Tibetan religious leader, the 14th Dalai Lama at first flatly denied the existence of an "intimate friendship" with Harrer. The Dalai's assertions that he had little, if any, impression of Harrer was a source of great disappointment to the latter.
    Harrer and the 14th Dalai formed a shaky alliance in which each pursued his own interests. Harrer strengthened his position by claiming an intimate friendship with "the leader of Tibetan Buddhism". and the Dalai in turn looked to Austria as an ideal retreat.

    Comment: DALAI LAMA and NAZI&HITLER (3)
    Despite the fact that Harrer tutored the then 11-year-old Tibetan religious leader, the 14th Dalai Lama at first flatly denied the existence of an "intimate friendship" with Harrer. The Dalai's assertions that he had little, if any, impression of Harrer was a source of great disappointment to the latter.
    Harrer and the 14th Dalai formed a shaky alliance in which each pursued his own interests. Harrer strengthened his position by claiming an intimate friendship with "the leader of Tibetan Buddhism". and the Dalai in turn looked to Austria as an ideal retreat.
    Harrer's background was laid bare last May at a crucial stage in promoting sales of the movie. Brad Pitt, who plays the part of Harrer, announced that he would most likely have refused the part had he known of the protagonist's Nazi background.
    Harrer's lawyer, a representative for the producer and the director reached a secret agreement in London to cope with the emergency situation. A minor revision in the movie added various plots which portrayed Harrer as, though having a relationship with the Nazis, resenting and disavowing the organization. The revisions drew a distinct line between Harrer and the Nazis.
    The Dalai Lama faced a dilemma following the public disclosure of the scandal. On the one hand, he addressed the situation by consulting with the movie producer and director, and on the other attempted to cover up for Harrer and divert public attention.
    Seven Years in Tibet was screened last October following repeated schemes and intrigues undertaken by Harrer and the Dalai Lama. Harrer did not attend the Los Angeles premiere due to the disclosure of his Nazi past, and the Dalai exhibited his lack of courage by failing to attend the Austrian premiere.
    There is nothing strange that Harrer, a faithful Nazi, eulogized feudal serfdom and lavished praise on the Dalai Lama, the single largest owner of serfs in old Tibet. The perplexing aspect lies in the fact that Harrer managed to escape punishment despite his verified Nazi affiliation. Instead, he found favor in Hollywood, which meticulously established and vigorously promoted his "image".
    Related efforts on the part of Hollywood enabled Harrer to gain great fame, a level of acclaim which he far from deserved. Despite the disclosure of Harrer's Nazi background and much to the surprise of many people, Hollywood continues to feature Harrer at center stage and even resorts to the clumsy trick of fabricating lies to camouflage his heinous past.
    Seven Years in Tibet extols a notorious Nazi as a "hero" and induces people to admire an officer of the SS, which was dedicated to the destruction of mankind.
    Extreme approaches of this nature, which blaspheme art and diametrically opposes the human spirit, lead people to believe that the movie producer and director totally lacked rationalism and conscientiousness, and cast doubts on the quality of Hollywood productions.

    Comment: Where is the Dl's compassion during the Qinghai anti-poverty project controversy. In short it was a 40 million dollar plan co-sponsored by the World Bank's antipoverty. The project involed moving 58000 poor Chinese from one part of the Qinghai province to another part of the same province. The World Bank also performed detail research to preclude environmental degradation and negative social impacts. The DL, however, allowed his supporters to torpedo this humanitarian effort. And for what? The people helped were not ethnic Tibetans. Compassion? What compassion. No wisdom eitiher. The Chinese government took up the project with its own fund after the World Bank was forced to drop the project. Without the World Bank looking over its shoulder, ithe governemnt ended up moving twice as many poor people from one part of Qinghai into another part of Qinghai.

    Comment: @ChristianAmerican,
    Thanks for the insightful observation about Melinda Liu's bowing 90deg at the Dalai Lama. It shows that she is incapable of writing an impartial article as far as the Dalai Lama is concerned. Maybe Newsweek should have a disclosure statement about their journalist's political affilations, something akin to a financial reporter's disclosure when writing a stock. I mean, if I read the People's Daily, at least I know I am going to read communist crap but with these Western press articles, some of the journalists bias is so well camouflaged that we don't realise it. And, all this time, I thought I could trust Melinda Liu's articles because she is ethnically Chinese. I feel I have been conned!

    Comment: I am Chinese and personally I never discriminate Tibetan people.They are part of our family.
    Most of people I know are all pretty friendly to minority people.
    I've never been to Tibet and I really do not know whether the situation is that bad.
    But I really have no idea about what this old monk is talking about.
    In the picture over here he is more like an emperor sitting at his shining shrone.
    He mainly talked about discrimination.
    Whatever,I guess there are those people here in China who discriminate minority people,who,in fact,are relatively poor,less educated.etc.
    I think discrimintaion is kind of a universal problem.
    Isn't it the case with the States where African American are discrinimated in some aspects??
    Then can those African Americans claim independance with a monk leader like this guy?
    It's just ridiculous!!
    "Seek truth from facts."as Deng XIao ping put it
    I hope the Western public,mass media as well as any institution should keep themselves more well-informed before they arrive at any conclusion.
    I'm sorry,but I was kind of harsh.
    Anyway,China is not that messy and nasty,really.

    Comment: Having read the statement of chines authrity published by international media I come to the conclusion that history repeats itself finding similarity in the circumstances.

    Our country had two wings namely East Pakistan and West Pakistan,W.Pakistan had ecnomic supermacy over the East wing.people of east had been demanding for justice in the ecnomic field but overlooked.Ecnomic exploitation was continued by western rullers and capitalist.

    A stage came,political party from Eastern wing won the general election but it was refused by a millitary dictator to submit the rule of the country and aftermath there was uprising just like Tibet,People stood against,leaders fled away to India and took political shelter there.World reaction created in favour of exiled leaders.

    In the nutshel W,Pakistan lost the whole game and half of country was dismemebered.


    It is our internal matter no one have right to interfare in it ,same stance in regard to tibet has been adopted by chines communist party.

    In the meanwhile world reaction is growing.Sarkozy has raised the voice European union and European Parliment has taken the same stand about the autonomy and political rights of Tibetan people.United Nation's secretary general has also refused to participat in the Olympics Games.
    American presidential candidate Hillary Clinton are saying president Bush not to attend opening cermony of teh Games .

    Now it is better for Bejing to invite Dalai Lama and negotiate all related issue with him .
    It is essential for chines leadership to provide Tibetan religious freedom,autonomy fundamenal rights and justice,otherwise history will take its course and may them (rulers)involve in unavoidable circumstances.

    Lastly,you ask so many questions,it seems China is so bad so bad too bad.But please note that in China we don't have African Chinese,why?We don't slave any people from any places.But why some Africans hate China so much even China is so much better compared to US and EU has done to Africa continent.I tell you the truth,my young friend,because what you read, what you learn is comes from West only,your country is taken away by your colony mother,they teach you everything.Even you are smart, you are born in the shadow of West,I am so sad for the Africa which raped by West,and is still mentally raped.

    Medlina Liu,I respect free speech,so I don't hate you even you are Chinese descent,but why you only listen to 0.001%(at most) people of Chinese,you never try to listen to 1.4 billion Chinese.And as a reporter in Beijing,you don't even know the history in Tibet at all???Shame for you.You might win some awards in USA,for Chinese,you are piece of sheet.
    When Dalai monks said "History is history" I laughed so much,like the Japanese said "Hey Chinese friend, in World War 2 we didn't rape Nanking,we save. History is history!"
    At last I want to point out how many of you know the fact that Dalai monks is the top slaveholder in Tibet? When he was chosen to be Dalai Lama in childhood,his whole family are slaves including himself.Do you know SLAVE?Do any slave live happy life in history??Until Chirman Mao Zedong liberated all Tibetans they are not slaves anymore.

    Comment: On this very page we can see just how hard the Chinese propagandists are working to blacken the name of that great man of peace, the Dalai Lama. The Chinese government fears people who speak truth to those in power. That is why they just sentenced prominent Chinese civil rights activist Hu Jia to 3 1/2 years in jail, for simply advocating democracy and human rights in public. What this tells me is that it is worthwhile to continue to speak in favor of freedom, justice, and human rights in China, for if Chinese propagandists are working so hard to vilify the advocates of peace and freedom, they must deeply fear the effects of public advocacy of human rights workers seeking freedom and justice in China and Tibet. How deeply the government of China would love to jail every voice of criticism and dissent who dares to speak out on these pages! I ask each person who reads these pages to think of what it would be like to live in a place where writing the above article, or posting any criticism of the Chinese government on these pages, is punishable by lengthy imprisonment at the will of those in power. Boycott the Olympics, and Boycott Chinese goods!

    Comment: LETTER TO THE CHINESE.

    Dear Chinaman,

    I am a young black African from the country of Nigeria. I am writing this letter to you because I need a little clarification. For a while now I and my fellow africans have watched in disbelief as you perform what is called the KANSAS CITY SHUFFLE on our continent. So we have decided to ask the following questions.

    1) You came to Africa and offered us millions of dollars in financial aid. You gave these monies to our corrupt leaders without setting up any rules or defining how these monies were to be spent, quite unlike the western imperialists who always tried to set conditions for the usage of those funds. Why Mr. Chinaman, why give away so much money i the name of AID & DEVELOPMENT when you know very well the money will be stolen? why?

    2) Mr Chinaman, You came to Africa, threw a lot of money around and told us that we are now best of friends but You sell weapons to despotic governments like SUDAN knowing those weapons are used for GENOCIDE and then you use YOUR VETO POWER TO PROTECT THE SUDANESE GOVERNMENT IN THE UN. Are my brothers and sisters dying in Darfur not worthy of your friendship? Did you lie to us when you said we were all friends? What are your real intentions Mr Chinaman.

    3)You visited our cities and said you will help the local industries, which sounded good to our ears. But now we see that you bribe our governments to obtain contracts that would have gone to our local contractors and then you execute the project with materials of poor quality. You BRIBE OUR GOVERNMENTS and IMPORT SUB-STANDARD PRODUCTS at cheap prices which our local industries cannot match. Why Mr Chinaman, Why?

    4) You say you want to help the African continent yet you refuse to condemn the very governments that rig elections, steal their country's monies and brutalize their citizens. You keep silent and continue doing business while the western Imperialists whom you blame for our foes condemn these governments.

    5) If you do not have imperialist ambitions why are you trying to subjugate the people of Tibet by force. We hear that you even control the context of their prayers and religions. You are forcefully colonizing TIBET like the europeans did to us. Why? Mr Chinaman. Why

    Comment: China's human rights abuses are "staggering": the detention of hundreds of thousands of people, including political activists, for "reeducation" programs, and forced labor camps; and the liberal use of the death penalty in China -- including for political prisoners -- which makes China the site of 8 of every 10 government administered executions carried out in the world!

    It is clear that the Communists can't be trusted at all and they have a bag full of tricks to fool not only Tibetans but the people of China with a state-controlled press. The solution is a free Tibet. There is no doubt that a sovereign Tibet would be a savior state not only for Tibetans but for all ethnic groups of China who have nowhere to go if they disagree with the CPC. A free Tibet would be such a free democratic heaven and haven.

    Who are you Mr gaoxiwei? They say that in China the government controls everything, that they even set-up and infiltratate chatrooms, blogs ..etc to sell their communist agenda, coerce and control the citizens.

    Mr gaoxiwei, I really think the server hosting this website sits in China and neither are all the visitors Chinese. You really are wearing your badge with that comment you posted.

    FREE TIBET. FREE TIBET. FREE TIBET. FREE TIBET. FREE TIBET. FREE TIBET. FREE TIBET. FREE TIBET.

    Comment: It's so ironic that on today, the day for memorizing Martin Luther King, who devoted himself in anti racism or discrimination.......newsweek publishes such a crap------Dalai Lama's shitty words on internet---------everyone knows he used to be one of the biggest slaves' master in Tibet, and who still wants the slavery system back in Tibet

    Dalai Lama, talking about human rights? Dare he! Many people hates him (including Tibetans who used to be his slaves)

    Dalai Lama, shut your mouth up and we will pray for you not to go to hell because of ur crimes after ur death!

    Comment: We shouldn't ignore the reality that there is no brave and great nation on the earth and do not carry on the principles regarding the humanity and hauman rights.

    France,with reference of the action,recently taken by it in regard to the
    human rights abuses in Tibet.

    France has appeared on the world screen as champion of human rights with the statement of president Mr.Sarkozy when he demanding china should have negotiation with Dalai lama,release all prisoners including monks and supporters,violence against Tibetan must be stope and recently erupting clashes be investigated.

    According to my considered opinon,this voice is the representation of the people of whole world especially of those facing such circumstances in different parts of the world.

    Now it has become for China to change its course and give due respect and honoure to the human rights and the people living under chines domination, i mean in Tibet

    Comment: The Chinese authorities and the population in general must realize that, how peacefully and with what maturity they handle the Tibet crisis, will give them a better chance of improving their international stature than doing well in hosting the Olympics.
    At present moment the maturity levels of the Chinese in handling this situation seem to be pathetic and poor. They have to understand that the kind of justification and distortion that they propagated 59 years ago, will be quickly seen though in the information age by the rest of the world.
    Also the world will not respect attitude of belittling and demonizing with some proven leader a Dalai Lama, and the world is still more powerful and influential than one nation.

    Comment: in response to plumblossom: the Dalai Lama is given so much importance everywere because of what he represants. The Dalai Lama is a symbol of peace, non violence,and compassion! A role model for the world! Sincere, truthful, wise. A fat chance that maybe people should recognize and respect because if the world could take its negative energy and turn it to good, we would live in a better place. I don't understand
