"A lot of han Chinese intellectuals are not willing to accept political appeal," only color, a name, when accepting a reporter to interview. "In their consciousness, Tibet is part of China. They think," if you have the political appeal, maybe you want is independent, and so on. "
Tibetan activists said, protests from depression, China's stifling security exist, limit religion and his beloved spiritual leader, the dalai lama demonize. China has said the dalai lama fan burning incident, to sabotage the Beijing economic aid to the region.
The number of protests soaring November the communist party of China held a secret meeting, installation, the next generation of leaders.
"Only color said," in an age of uncomfortable challenges, this not only we need the attention of international society, but also to the Chinese society. "This is very important, the han nationality intellectual said things, and made it clear that concerning this problem."
