Tibetan Protester

A third Tibetan person set himself ablaze over the past four days, Hindustan Times announces citing the London-based organization Free Tibet, which announced that on Monday a 18-year-old teenager called Dorjee set himself on fire near a government office in the Aba prefecture of the Sichuan province in the western side of China.

Dorjee burnt while shouting anti-governmental slogans, and his body was said to have been removed by the security personnel. The news could not be confirmed or infirmed by the Communist authorities, which are caught up in the new session of the Chinese national people’s congress.

A mother of four died in flames on Sunday in the Aba province, and a girl reported to be between 16 and 19 set herself on fire in the Gansu province. The girl is said to have been commented before she made the decision to set herself on fire that people were setting themselves ablaze in Tibet and that something must be done for Tibet, otherwise life has no meaning for them.

The number of people who protested against the Chinese rule by setting themselves on fire rises to 21 since last year, many of them dying of the burns. The move of the three last persons comes at a time when the Communist regime is inaugurating the session of the parliament, and the security is tight in order to prevent any possible uprising.

The Chinese budget has ascribed $111.6 billion for spending on police forces, in an attempt to put down any domestic unrest. According to the finance ministry, quoted by Hindustan Times, China will invest more in public security than in defense. While the defense budget will have 670 billion Yuan, the public security will have 701.7 billion.

In other words, the regime considers that the greatest threat to national security comes from within its borders, mainly from the autonomous movements in Tibet and Xinjiang, or from the unrest caused by the social standard of life.

An explanation for the investment could be found in the fact that China is beginning the power transfer process to a fifth generation of Communist politicians, and the process, which is expected to last about two years and at the end of which China would be ruled by different leaders from the one we know, is not expected to be easy, as the fifth generation of Communist leaders seems to be more distinct from the other before, which presented no unpredictable surprises.

Under the circumstances, China desires a quiet year, and the beginning of it shows that it may not be very easy to acquire it. In an address to the United States, the foreign minister of China has urged the American leadership to tread very carefully on issues that are important to China, listing Tibet and Taiwan as the primary concerns.

The situation in Tibet is growing in intensity with every person reported self-immolated, since this ultimate form of protest is bringing very bad publicity to China, which must face its new condition of economic superpower, that entails obligations Beijing is not ready to deal with.

The regime has made it clear that it would not tolerate any interference in Tibet, and that the spiritual leader of the people in this region, Dalai Lama, has no place on Chinese territory.

In fact, China is going to great lengths to keep Dalai Lama from seeing any leader of the world. Last year, Beijing had a nervous reaction when Barack Obama received him, although the American leader was careful not to have the reception in the Oval Office.

Iconic human rights activist Desmond Tutu from South Africa had a nervous breakdown and accused the National African Congress of being worse than the apartheid regime when they had no choice but to procrastinate the granting of visa to Dalai Lama until the Tibetan leader withdrew the application.

China went as far as to determine that the next Dalai Lama would not be recognized on its territory, which prompted the leader to decide to end the tradition of Dalai Lama. Earlier he had alluded that the next Dalai Lama could be a woman, or that the office could be elected the way the pope in Rome is being elected.
