00:00 If you look at the policies of the Chinese government today,
00:05 it's more like they're squeezing us,
00:07 like a python squeezing us out of our breath slowly.
00:11 That's why we are dying a slow death, and people don't notice that.

00:33 China controls Tibet with like an iron hand,
00:36 and then they ask the whole international community
00:38 to keep repeating what they want them to say.
00:41 Then where's the reason for China to come and talk to us?
00:45 The international community is helping China
00:48 to remove the very ground for negotiation.

01:09 I tried my Chinese friends, saying,
01:13 "You're waiting for this Dalai Lama to die.
01:15 You're not concerned about the living 14th,
01:17 but you're more concerned about the yet to come 15th,
01:20 because you know that if you can control the Dalai Lama,
01:22 you can control the Tibetan people."

01:37 Right now, under the present circumstances,
01:40 under President Xi Jinping's paranoia security concerns,
01:45 that exacerbates the whole situation
01:48 where people are deprived of freedom, basic freedoms.
01:53 There is nothing called permanent.
01:55 Even Western psychology says change is the only constant.
01:58 So nobody imagined that Berlin Wall would fall that fast,
02:03 or Baltic states will gain independence and all that.
02:07 But it happened in this lifetime.
