Voice from South America and Central America: if the kindhearted Buddha sees the scene, he will send him to hell without hesitation.
Argentinean listener Richardo Huerta, who has been to China two times, left his comments on CRIonline's Spanish Web site on March 22, saying: "CRI's reports on the Lhasa riots are timely and resourceful. I feel outraged on Dalai clique's attempt to split Tibet from China. The reactions of the international community have proved that any riots violating the international law are doomed to fail."
Richardo said that based on the truth he witnessed during his two visits in China, the falsified reports of China's current situation spread by certain people under the pretext of the Tibet question are groundless and against the facts.
Brazilian listener Rubens Pedroso said in his letter that he has been following the riots in Lhasa on Portuguese CRIonline all the time.
He said it is unbelievable that Dalai will tolerate this violence which disrupted social order and took away innocent lives after watching the video on CRIonline, which changed his impression on the Dalai Lama. In his opinion, Chinese government's handling of the riots is timely, appropriate and correct. He hopes people whose hearts were wounded can recovery from this event as soon as possible. At the same times he hopes the Dalai Lama can realize the gravity of this event and his fault, and end the tragedy.
Colombia listener Jhone Freddy Castirllon left a message on the Internet on March 23, saying that he is sorry for the Lhasa riots and the injuries it inflicted on China.
Uruguayan listener Alberto Machodo sends an e-mail on March 18, the day on which the annual session of China's National People's Congress closed, to condemn the Lhasa riots instigated by a few splittists. He said: "As a loyal listener of CRI, I will not be confused by the lies. We will not forget that Tibet is an inalienable part of Chinese territory and what kind of life Tibetan people led before its liberation. I know that under the feudal serfdom, a few slave holders led a life of luxury and privilege at the expense of the masses of serfs' tears and blood. At that time Tibet was economically backward and culturally languished; the social hierarchy was rigid and illiteracy was common among the masses. But now, under the system of regional autonomy for ethnic minorities, with central government's support, Tibetan people exercise self-governing, develop animal husbandry, agriculture and tourism. Their children are able to go to universities and their religion, culture and customs were given utmost respect. During the annual sessions of the National People's Congress, I noticed that delegates from Tibet could speak out freely as other ethnic minorities did, devoting to China's development, which is unbelievable in the past. I hope Tibet is better tomorrow!"
Alberto said the Lhasa riots instigated by the Dalai clique are criminal because they caused innocent people killed, stores burnt down and smashed and even medical workers attacked. Tibet is an inalienable part of China's territory. I appreciate very much of Chinese government's efforts to suppress the riots and maintain Tibet's peace, and also comfort the Chinese people of Tibetan nationality and Han nationality injured in the riots.
Nicaraguan listener Gerardo strongly denounced the crimes committed by Dalai Lama in an e-mail on March 27, saying:" if the kindhearted Buddha sees the scene, he will send him to hell without hesitation, for his action is completely contrary to the principles of "love and peaceful". The March 14 Lhasa riots attempt to change Tibet into a state of the U.S. It is a pity that reports of the event get twisted and falsified in my country. In the world, there are always people who do not devote to national development, but try to destroy social order and the country's fame. They intend to make use of the event to boycott Beijing 2008 Olympic Games."
Brazilian listener Ricardo Santos said: "I'm deeply sorry for the Lhasa riots happened on March 14. In my opinion, Dalai Lama, like a politician and terrorist, is trying to get what he wants by extreme means. In the riots, many innocent people lost their lives, public order is destroyed, having disastrous effect on society. All these show that Dalai Lama's attempt to confront the Chinese government and push for Tibet independence. However, I'm sure that the riots will be overcome and the Chinese government will handle the event in proper way, to make sure the holding of the Olympic Games held in August without a hitch."
Brazilian listener Eduardo Caetano said: "The riots in Lhasa happened on March 14 show Dalai Lama's attempt to split China. I support Chinese government's practice and ground. From ancient times, Tibet is one part of China's territory, and it's undeniable and unchangeable."
