We mark the sad anniversary of last year's violent oppression of the people of Tibet by the Chinese invaders.
Chinese soldiers that dressed as monks were used to discredit the peaceful monks.
Chinese people have their internet access restricted to keep the truth from them. Pray for the peaceful people of Tibet who are being murdered by the invaders.
We are dependent on the Chinese to buy hundreds of billions of dollars of US government debt, in the form of treasury bonds. The Chinese are essentially bankrolling the stimulus, bail outs, etc. If they decide to stop doing this, the US will not be able to finance its 1.5 trillion deficit, and the dollar fall worldwide as people dump it. It will be worth less than a peso. America has no financial independence, it is weak and at the mercy of a communist dictatorship. MacArthur and Eisenhower are certainly rolling in their graves.....
What does this mean to the Chinese? They can oppress people in Tibet...we'd better keep our mouths shut. They can invade Taiwan.....we'd better keep our mouths shut. They can do whatever the hell they want, and Hillary Clinton will keep quiet if she knows what's good for her. Scary when you think about it....
Tibet is located along China's southwestern border. Since the Proterozoic era, the Tibetan people have lived, laboured and multiplied on the Qinghai - Tibet Tour Plateau - "Roof of The World" In this long historic process, due to their industriousness and Wisdom, the Tibetan people have created a rich and colourful material civilization, as well as an advanced culture and ideology. As an important member of China’s 56 ethnic groups, the Tibetan nationality has maintained close relations in politics, economy and culture with the country’s other nationalities.
Tibet Tours is mysterious in a way that few other places are.
In ancient times, the Tibetans on the plateau cultivated a close relationship with the Han and with other ethnic groups from the Chinese interior. In the 7th century, this relationship reached its peak when Srong-btsan Sgam-po(Songtsan Gambol, the king of the Tubo kingdom who ruled the Tibetan Plateau at that time twice sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty emperor to propose to Princess Wen Cheng who he later married. The Tibetans and Hans had through the marriage of their royal families and various meetings, formed close economic and cultural relations laying the groundwork for the ultimate foundation of a unified nation.In Lhasa the capital of the Tibet Travel Autonomous Region, the statue of Princess Wen Cheng is still enshrined and worshipped in the Potala Palace. The Monument to the Alliance between the Tibetans and the Han erected in the 9th century still stands in the square in front of the Jokhang Temple.

Locked way in its mountain fortress of the Himalaya, Tibet Travel has long exercised a unique hold on the imagination of the West; "Shangri-La", "the Land of Snows", "the Roof-top of the World", Tibet is mysterious in a way that few other places are.
