Over
the last few decades, exiled Tibetan administration under the political leadership
of His Holiness the Dalai Lama pursued Middle Way Policy to resolve Tibet's
long pending crisis with People's Republic of China. In 2011, Sikhong Dr.
Lobsang Sangay after succeeding His Holiness the Dalai Lama when latter
voluntarily devolved Tibet’s political authority pledged to continue embracing
Middle Way Policy. Since day one, Sikyong called for dialogue anyway and anytime.
But the Chinese government did not respond positively despite having been
complimented by many Chinese people. Even many world leaders urged China to
resume the dialogue, which went deadlock in 2010. It is particularly interesting
to know why China is indifferent yet continues to enforce hard line policies
inside Tibet. As a result of such repressive policy, we have witnessed
widespread demonstrations in 2008 and a wave of self-immolations that continue
to burn Tibet, calling for freedom and the return of His Holiness the Dalai
Lama.
