Honoring the Dalai Lama
The editorial is right that every time someone muttered Dalai Lama, China would rush to the center stage, lashing it out. What’s for? Shouldn’t China feel secure enough to refrain from such behavior, as with Taiwan? Not sure what exactly has Dalai Lama done for his poverty stricken constituents, building a financial center like HK to elevate the region? How many schools or roads have he built? Dalai Lama might have his place in history, but doesn’t deserve the limelight he’s getting if it weren’t for China. So having a powerful enemy beats out an influential friend.
