• Dalai Lama, "middle way" in Tibet

Supporting Evidence

• TIBET,”Fears and Tears” By Melinda Liu and Sudip Mazumdar , Newsweek Web Exclusive Mar 20, 2008 "The Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement, many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history. So my approach is, don't talk about the past. The past is past, irrespective of whether Tibet was a part of China or not. We are looking to the future. I truly believe that a new reality has emerged. The times are different. Today different ethnic groups and different nations come together due to common sense. Look at the European Union … really great. What is the use of small, small nations fighting each other? Today it's much better for Tibetans to join [China]. That is my firm belief.
