Commentary: "Dalai Lama´s high-degree autonomy for Tibet" means overthrowing China´s social system

After the Dalai Lama went abroad, he was more closely surrounded and influenced by the former serf-owners and secessionists, and depended on others for subsistence. Since then, he has gone farther and farther on the path to betray his homeland and the people, becoming a tool of foreign anti-China forces and a chief representative of the "Tibet independence" secessionist forces. Mao Zedong well perceived this clearly long ago. He said, "If he (the Dalai Lama) is willing to return home and can break away from the reactionaries, we hope that he can return home. In fact, however, it seems impossible for him to return home now. He is unable to break away from these people." In the 40-plus years after the Dalai Lama' left his hometown, Tibet has carried out democratic reforms, established the socialist system under which the people serve as the masters of the country, practiced regional autonomy for the people of ethnic groups, and made "sweeping" progress in the large family of the socialist motherland. Even the people who still yearn for the feudal serfdom have to acknowledge that the present-day Tibet is much better than that old Tibet. Although the reason is simple and the fact is clear, some people still cannot accept this. The Dalai Lama is such a person.

In no way is Dalai Lama willing to acknowledge the present social system in Tibet. He has been to the United States and Europe to put forward the so-called "Five-Point Peace Plan for Tibet" and the "new Seven-Point Proposal" and preach his propositions such as "autonomy in the true sense," "one country, two systems" and "the greater Tibetan region." He did all this under the signboard of enabling the Tibetan people to become the true masters of Tibet and to shake off "dictatorship," so as to achieve "democracy" and receive "the real benefits." But as a matter of fact, he refused to accept and attempted to overthrow the socialist system and the ethnic regional autonomous system that has been practiced for 40-plus years in Tibet, for the purpose of restoring the "paradise" for a tiny number of people in old Tibet.
