China is built on lies, run by hypocrites

[T-Rex]

China is built on lies and its officials are hypocrites, the Dalai Lama said on Saturday, speaking via videophone after visa problems prevented him from joining Archbishop Desmond Tutu's birthday celebrations in South Africa.

"Some Chinese officials describe me as a demon," the Tibetan spiritual leader said to loud applause as he put his index fingers either side of his head to mimic devil's horns.

"In reality, for the communist totalitarian system ... hypocrisy (and) telling lies has unfortunately become part of their lives."

He said the Chinese government was "uncomfortable" with people who tell the truth, adding that honest people live longer and he would like to attend Tutu's 90th birthday.

"At that time, don't forget to send me an invitation ... then we can test your government," he said to Tutu in an apparent reference to his visa debacle with South African authorities.

The government's failure to allow the Dalai Lama into the country has been seen as bowing to pressure from China, South Africa's largest trading partner that pledged to invest $2.5 billion in Africa's largest economy last week.

The 80-year old Tutu retired about a year ago from most public duties but has remained a prominent figure and is still seen as a voice of integrity.

Dalai Lama: China is built on lies, run by hypocrites | Reuters

The land of the sugar candy, the so-called house of democracy, is built on the skulls of the native indians but that does not bother you. So, I'll say that you're as good a hypocrite as the americans. On the other hand, China does not have such a 'nice' history yet some people just cannot control their urge to point their fingers at China, to them it's like responding to the call of nature.

One thing that I think that Mao should be blamed is why would people let that old monkey alive for so long a time. A bullet or two will solve the problems forever, save the world a lot of trouble and noise as well.

A hypocrite liar lectures China being a hypocrite.

NEW DELHI: The Dalai Lama on Wednesday said he was a "hypocrite" all these years as he held spiritual and political responsibilities together in spite of knowing that these two matters should be separate.

The Tibetan spiritual leader, who recently gave up his the political responsibility, said "now I feel I am committed to what I have been saying all these years."

There is nothing to thanks about. If those mobs rushed into our embassy China will have to open fire to protect our sovereign. And India shall be blamed by the world as brutal and savage.

Most politicians are liars and hypocrites. That's their job and that's why most get elected.This includes the Chinese government , but also GOI , every single American politician, the Dutch government, the Dalai Lama himself, mr. Tutu etc. Frankly speaking so are we, yes you and me. We are just not big enough liars and hypocrites to become politicians.
