Tibetan Mounted
Posted in Antiques on 10/10/2009 04:33 am by adminA Tibetan asks me this queston: why we still use Mount Everest ?
If you claim you love Tibet and Tibetans so much, why you are still using the Western name “Mount Everest”?
He has another question: Are you using us as pawn against China ? We have to live side by side with the Chinese. You don't ! After riot, you are gone and very fast. But we have to stay inside.
Any of you have a convincing answer for the above questions?
To: Jon
What a typical Western ignorance by giving those examples! No wonder my Tibetan friend is saying you are using them!
To: Bush Family
Go back to your Dubya Ranch in Texus
Call it what you want, it is the highest point on the planet and people will come to climb it regardless of it's location. I don't think the Tibetan Sherpas are complaining about being employed as guides. They would be high altitude goat herders otherwise, they are actually fortunate that they are making money by exploiting their proximity to the Mountain itself. As far as living next to the Chinese and us leaving? Leaving from where? The US was never there to leave, except when we helped liberate the region from the Japanese, who murdered thousands of Chinese, Tibetans, Nepalese, Phillippinos, Burmese, ect. during WW!!. A pawn against the Chinese? It makes no sense. Taiwan is of much more strategic and political importance in regards to China. Tibet is the home of the Dhali Lama and the spiritual center of that religion, if not for that, it would be irrelavant on the world stage of politics.
