Just like every riot, Chinese Communist Party has a habit of blaming it on outside force. June 4 is student ‘elicit’ by foreign elements, 7.1 is elicit by foreign element; April 5 incident is also due to force outside China. It appears to me that in the mind of Chinese Communist Party, their citizen is a zombie that could be commanded by any outsider. So this is their understanding of civil society, and their understanding of people psychology! However, a basic understanding of human psychology including that:
A. People would calculate their consequence before they take action, especially when facing with a regime that is infamous for its terrorism against its own people. So those rioter acknowledge what future they may face in this country which is tightening its control of people before Olympic, and Lhasa-Beijing railway provide a rapid means to suppress any dissenting movement. Nevertheless, the riot still happen, therefore we could imagine the grievance of the people there.
B. It is much easier to elicit a riot by the insider from inside of a country. How far is Dali Lama from China than the presence of Chinese Communist Party in Tibet? So how has a stronger influence? China is not saying that its influence in China is not as strong as Dala Lama from India? Therefore any cause must be internal, it just happen that Communist China love to externalize all domestic issue to outsider, and internalize all domestic achievement. If the same logic is held, why Chinese Communist Party could take pride in its national progress, since it must also by foreign influence?
C. If there is no great grievance of Tibetan, Tibetan are dominated by Tibetan Buddhist, which is famous for their peaceful altitude toward world and life; How come they would become violent and ‘irrational’ so easier? Their level of violence in terms of number of riots and conflict during Ching dynasty, nor Republic of China, except People’s Republic of China. Is there something about the rule of it cause such a great grievance to Tibetan? Compare the level of violence in existing China to Ching or Republic of China or Taiwan; it is telling that the intensification of violence only happen during this dictatorship.
