		<description>Thanks for a thoughtful piece in a world of unabashed, hedonistic opportunism.

It is time for international intervention on the Tibet issue.
Politicians, form every country, for five decades, have rung their hands in public over the atrocity of the illegal Chinese occupation, but never shown the least bit if courage to make a tangible impact.
Time is fast running out for Tibet under the perverse policies of the occupying Han Chinese.
Now time has come for righteous politicians from the so called civilized nations to bring this issue to the UN, and as a first step force the Han Chinese regime to accept at least some semblance of accepted international human rights standards, all of which they’re signatories to.

Every self respecting nation calling itself civilized should immediately:

•	Declare Tibet an occupied nation.
•	Recognize the Tibetan Government in exile.
•	Force China to cease its illegal occupation through intense, coordinated international pressure.
•	Postulate the issue before the UN and bring about resolutions to the same effect.

The Dalai Lama’s good intentions are being exploited to the full by the CCP and made a mockery of, by their resorting to puerile berating of his HH, and questioning his legitimacy.
The legitimacy question is China’s alone.

What’s preventing these ‘righteous’ politicians around the world to exert a coordinated and concerted effort, and get China to accept their responsibilities under all the treaties signed by them.
Is everybody cravenly petrified of what the ‘implications’ might be if they ‘offended’ this dissolute cabal?


‘China’ is a perverse construct by the Han Chinese; they’ve invented the grotesque fantasy of the ‘nation family of 56 ethnic groups’ to masquerade their illegal occupation, annexation and settlement of these ethnic minorities’ lands.

This anachronistic, colonial and thoroughly racist empire is doomed to failure; they rose by, and just manage to hold onto power by the barrel of the gun. 
Remove the gun, and with it evaporates their raison d&#039;être, and their perceived ‘legitimacy’ arising from it.
