Brad Pitt has been banned from China because he acted in "Seven Years in Tibet."
The issue cannot be clearer except the Tibetans don't have a political strategy.
The Chinese Govt. is a bunch of dictators while the Tibetan people are non-violent group protesting for the past 50 years.
Yet, as the world's people we fail to see or support the Tibetan cause.
Unfortunately, the Dalai Lama is a nice guy and leader but lacks political clarity. Non-violence alone is not a political strategy but a tool in politics. If Mahatma Gandhi had just used non-violence without effectively combining with boycott of goods that weakened Britain economically especially during World War 2, Indians would have never got independence.
The economic boycott component is missing in the Tibetan strategy, especially in the Dalai Lama's call for peaceful protests or Richard Gere's support for it.
The only way the Chinese Govt. can be tamed is by economic boycott of its goods by people worldwide. The Chinese people will also get independence and political freedom from their govt. tyranny only then.
What do you think?
