Desperate Insanity

The guide also gives a slap to some Western faces. In order to contain and split China, for many years these forces have set the Dalai Lama as a "non-violent" struggle model.

After the self-immolation incidents, they completely disregarded the fact, denied the crimes committed by the Dalai clique, and accused the policy made by the Chinese Government of causing the self-immolations. Furthermore, they even showed sympathy for and "concern" to those criminals who have been sentenced to jail in line with the Chinese law to encourage the self-immolation manipulators.

The publication of the guide, which openly admitted the crime of the Dalai clique's inciting and scheming self-immolations, its political motivations as well as its future plans of continued manipulations, hasn't saved faces of his Western masters.

Why did the Dalai clique publish the guide at this moment? The reason is that the extremists among them feel desperate.

According to the Sing Tao Daily based in Canada, the 14th Dalai Lama once instructed his followers earnestly and tirelessly, "Suppose we resort to arms to achieve our objective. We need guns and ammunition in the first place, but who will sell them to us? If we find the seller, where can we get the money? Even if we have money and get guns, how can these guns be transported to China and through which country's border? The CIA once air-dropped guns for us, which happened in the past and will never happen again."

The 14th Dalai Lama drew a lesson from his own failures: That seeking "Tibet independence" through violent activities publicly didn't work, and it is better to adopt the "middle-way approach," which can deceive the world and seek "Tibet independence" indirectly. However, this political plot hasn't made any progress since its existence, and even the channel of contact and talk with the Chinese Government was blocked by them.

Up to now, the scheme of manipulating self-immolations has been worked out by racking their brains as "the highest form of non-violent struggle," which will be doomed. All of these make some extremists more and more impatient, so they had to publish the guide, hoping this wicked fire would be extinguished with some "achievements" at least.

Another reason for the publication of the guide is that self-immolations have achieved no effect in the international community as the Dalai clique had expected. Even some Western powers who always support the Dalai clique dare not take such a huge risk of losing political reputation or moral legitimacy to support manipulating self-immolations, which is violence and terrorism.

The head of the "Tibetan government-in-exile" lamented, "self-immolation in Tunisia can be the catalyst of the Arab Spring, why cannot we get the same support from the international community as that in the Arab world?" reported The New York Times on February 3.

A comment from the Chinese News Net pinpointed, "In fact, the self-immolations of Tibetans have rarely received support from the international community."

It is hard to imagine that how the international community can support such brutal and inhumane acts. The Chinese Government doesn't create conditions to encourage Tibetans to self-immolate. Hence it cannot be condemned.

Western countries all understand the background of the self-immolations. They have given enough face for not condemning the "Tibetan government-in-exile."

The Dalai clique attempted to prompt more self-immolations through publishing the guide in order to beg for more international compassion. This act has actually made the international community recognize the ferocity and insanity of the Dalai clique clearly, and urged some Western powers to hold back when supporting the Dalai clique.

The guide published by the Dalai clique at the moment attempted to make political blackmail against the Chinese Government but it turned out to be in vain.

If plotting "Tibet independence" failed in 1959 through the military confrontation and armed rebellion, how would it be possible to make it by inciting several people to burn themselves?

As a matter of fact, the evidence of the Dalai Lama's role in manipulating self-immolation has been made clear. Many criminals, whose acts are detested by the local people, have been brought to justice.

The Chinese Government will win the battle against self-immolation as long as it does not entertain the delusions of the Dalai clique, nor expect some Western forces to be kind, but keep the situation under control on the basis of our own work.

The Dalai clique's fantasy that every self-immolation will exert some pressure on the Chinese Government will be highly counter-productive. On the contrary, every self-immolation case that occurred was an additional bloody crime the Dalai clique committed for its own ethnic Tibetans.
