Starting from 3:34, you can with your own eyes both Tibet and Xinjiang (SinKiang) as well as Mongolia were on the map of China (Republic of China), long before People's Republic of China came into existence. After WWII, the Western changed its tone about Tibet saying it was annexed by PRC to promote their counter-comminst propaganda.<br /><br />As mentioned above by Mantou, any Chinese, be it from Hong Kong, Taiwan or overseas, all hold the same belief that Tibet has been part of China long before the existing of USA, as admitted by the documentary. <br /><br />China demands the return of South Tibet, yet NEVER ever there is any claims or talks about Bhutan, be it publicly or privately! In fact, I don't quite understand where this fear that China wants to take control of Bhutan come from. Could it be the propaganda and misinformation generated from India & US to push Bhutan into the arm of India? Hope more wise people like Wangcha Sangey will wake up those Bhutanese who are misled and misinformed so they can see things clearly and understand what is best for their beloved Bhutan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5685253048119474681.post-90491867101882729662017-09-14T12:11:10.931+06:002017-09-14T12:11:10.931+06:00Tenzin Lamsang has sold his soul to the devil.

Not every historian just like Maxwell in 1970 book india's china war has courage and independently critical thinking to correct their premature analysis. Most just follow the media opinions which are manipulated by interest group or organizations. So I am not surprised someone will be fooled and say Tibet is not part of China. Plus not every nation of the world would like to see China's rising. <br /><br />I would also thank Mr. Wangcha for opening a window to learn more of Bhutan and Bhutanese. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5685253048119474681.post-12838604804261822232017-09-12T10:26:06.331+06:002017-09-12T10:26:06.331+06:00Its a pity that a biased fellow like Tenzin Lamzan...Its a pity that a biased fellow like Tenzin Lamzang runs a newspaper in Bhutan. Fortunately by now most educated people in Bhutan knows what type of person he is. However, the danger is foreigners who read his newspaper do not know about this person and so will be misinformed. I suggest if he has so much hatred for China and love for India, he should move to either Tibet or India from where he can write anything he wants. As someone rightly said his newspaper is creating divisions in our otherwise a harmonious society.

Going by what he writes in his paper, particularly, in the editor column, it seems he is not living up to his professional integrity and ethics. More often than not his articles are biased, unsubstantiated and dangerous as it misinforms the public and at times his articles carry an element that has potential to create disharmony and division in the society.<br /><br />I cannot say with surety, but i am inclined to conclude that he is trying to propagate his personal vendetta. It may also be possible that he is trying to propagate the agenda of some other entity that he has inclination to. <br /><br />In this particular issue of 'Doklham standoff', his article carries a very narrow and one-sided view of the issue. His expression of fear and anxiety towards the northern neighbor could be deep rooted in his ancestral blood and upbringing. (i am not sure, but i was told that he is of Tibetan Origin). It is time he should chance his view/lens through which he view the reality of today's world. <br /><br />Thank you Wangcha Sangey once again for putting the context right in such circumstances.

Let's imagine, if India did not forcefully annex the Northeast areas, would it have to worry about its Chicken Neck at all now? If the India government is wise, it should change mentality and listen to the minority views in India, and what the Chinese have been saying. The world has changed. Annexing and controlling other countries do not make yourself stronger. Rather such behaviors cause undue burden more often than not. We do not need to look too far back in history to find examples. The most recent one was the Soviet Union. Afghanistan may be a small nation compared with the Soviet Union. But trying to control it by the latter was a deciding step for the latter's disintegration. Also if India is smart, it should know that China has no intention in choking off its Chicken Neck. The simple reality is that, if China wants to do that, it would be a full scale war against India. And if China wants a full scale war, why would it want to choke off this Chicken Neck while she has far better choices. Don't forget that New Dheli is only 600 km away from Aksai Chin and the path from there to New Dheli is basically a "highway" as compared with the mountainous terrains near India's Chicken Neck. With the current mentality in India, India is volunteering itself as a victim to the propaganda of some foreign intelligence communities and war mongers. It is not good for India, nor for its neighbors. Of course it will be a totally different story if the target was actually Bhutan when India started playing the Chicken Neck fear card against China.

Often distortions to historical facts were subconsciously justified in the name of countering communism. This has done a great disservice to the western people as entire generations grew up with a distorted view of world history, if they had any knowledge of world history at all, and unexplainable hatred towards China. Time and again this has led to strategic miscalculations when involved with China. And the normal reflections they have after realizing the miscalculations, are blaming the Chinese further. Having lived in both China and the western world for more than 25 years each, I often frustratingly admit that people in the western world have generally lost their ability to critically self reflect. By saying that, I don't mean everybody. There are still clear and sober heads in the western world, but their voices are so inundated and buried that they do not make any impact at all. By and large India is a small copycat of this phenomenon. As to the particular situation with Tibet, everybody knows Tibet has been a part of China for many centuries already and much longer than the United States or India as independent countries, but the false notion of China annexing Tibet still finds a very good consumer base. Nowadays it is probably a non failing test you can use: if anybody uses this notion to justify anything, he/she probably is ignorant and does not know anything about what he/she is talking about, or he/she is intentionally trying to stir up something. And that something is most likely evil in intention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5685253048119474681.post-32988874908118141472017-09-10T14:25:55.821+06:002017-09-10T14:25:55.821+06:00straight drive. i know you're working for Indi...straight drive. i know you're working for Indian RAW. let me set the record straight. yes, bhutan cannot replace the southern neighbor, but Bhutan can replace India with China for our friend if you keep showing your brahmanic attitude over Bhutan. you cannot stop us. you couldn't stop China. it's about our security. keep your chicken-neck corridor concern to yourself. nobody will take it unless you want to sell it to China or Bhutan.

If war breaks out, it won't focus on doklam alone, it will be in multiple fronts-ladak, sikkim, arrunachal etc. it will be through air, land, sea and ultimately nuclear and destroy both. No winner at the end! So, India should get out of cocoon and forget these very traditional mentality abt so called strategic importance. Rather, resolve all border issues bilaterally and get into trade and commerce. Both India and china including bhutan will benefit form it. competition, trying to dominate each other will help will only destroy each other. Why can't stand on equal footing and prosper each other through trade and business. <br /><br />For Bhutan, we ve no option but need both neighbors.The more India try to distance us from china, closer we are getting towards north. We are grateful to indian for their assistance and we will always remain indebted to india but pls let us have bilateral relation with china too. We can't chose our norther neighbor! China will be our northern neighbor till this earth exist. So, why can't we have good relation with North.<br />Considering rugged terrain in the North, we will always have more interaction with indian. so, pls don't worry indian friends, we will always remain friend with u guys and let us also make friend with china. It is something no one can stop. If not today, tomorrow we will make friend with china. So, like what mr. wangcha said, dont treat us like Mr-Mistress relation.

And this applies to all Chinese regardless of the place of birth. I was born in Hong Kong and lived there for nineteen years and while I was there I can tell you not once did I even realized that there is a 'China annexed Tibet' allegation. Even today if you go to Hong Kong and tell the locals that Tibet was annexed by China, people there will give you a blank stare because they would not know what you are talking about. As far as the Hong Kong people goes Tibet is part of China as much as Mancester is part of Britain. I am sure the same applies to the people of Taiwan. The first time I realized that there is a narrative of China annexing Tibet was during the run up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics when there were a lot of exiled Tibetans in Western countries protesting of China's occupation of Tibet. This is certainly historic revisionism. Being a person with an open mind I dig into this subject to make sure I know what I am talking about. And the fact of the matter is that there is not a single country at any time recognizes Tibet as an independent sovereign country. In particular Britain and the US recognition of Tibet as part of China goes back at least a hundred years before even the present day PRC (Peoples Republic of China) exist. And just to drive home the point the ROC (Republic of China, aka Taiwan) also regards Tibet as part of China. In fact even though the present jurisdiction of the Republic of China does not extend beyond the island of Taiwan and some small islands in the South China Sea ever since the KMT (Nationalist Party) loses the civil war to the Communist and retreated to Taiwan in 1949, the official map of the Republic of China still encompass Tibet, including South Tibet, which was invaded and annexed by India in 1951 (make a state and renamed to the so called Arunachal Pradesh in 1987).Mantouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003087812403749965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5685253048119474681.post-17126510457143981272017-09-09T20:38:27.486+06:002017-09-09T20:38:27.486+06:00Hats of to you for taking time and energy to infor...Hats of to you for taking time and energy to inform our young Bhutanese people about national interest. I also feel that we should secure our sovereignty by opening diplomatic relations with China and other permanent security members. It is also important that we have our southern east-west high way so that we can travel to any part of our country without having to fear the Indian strikes and bullying on the highway. <br />However, being located in the south facing Himalayas, no other country can replace India. Therefore it is extremely important that we take utmost precautions and sensitivity to India's security concerns.

However, one must ask why diplomacy was abandoned in favour of the use of force. The ministry’s statement says that the “Indian policy is guided by the belief that peace and tranquillity in the border area is an essential pre-requisite for further development of our bilateral relationship. Differences should not be allowed to become disputes”. If India believes in these principles, why then did it not prioritise its relationship with China, especially in the light of Bhutan’s reticence on the issue.
