British Spy Agency: CCP Staged Tibet Riots
(Exclusive NTDTV Video)
LONDON¡ªBritain's GCHQ, the government communications agency that
electronically monitors half the world from space, has confirmed the
claim by the Dalai Lama that agents of the Chinese People's Liberation
Army, the PLA, posing as monks, triggered the riots that have left
hundreds of Tibetans dead or injured.
GCHQ analysts believe the decision was deliberately calculated by the
Beijing leader****p to provide an excuse to stamp out the simmering
unrest in the region, which is already attracting unwelcome world
attention in the run-up to the Olympic Games this summer.
For weeks there has been growing resentment in Lhasa, Tibet's capital,
against minor actions taken by the Chinese authorities.
Increasingly, monks have led acts of civil disobedience, demanding the
right to perform traditional incense burning rituals. With their demands
go cries for the return of the Dalai Lama, the 14th to hold the high
spiritual office.
Committed to teaching the tenets of his moral authority¡ªpeace and
compassion¡ªthe Dalai Lama was 14 when the PLA invaded Tibet in 1950 and
he was forced to flee to India from where he has run a relentless
campaign against the harshness of Chinese rule.
He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, the year of the Tiananmen
Square massacre.
But critics have objected to his attraction to film stars. Newspaper
magnate Rupert Murdoch has called him: "A very political monk in Gucci
shoes."
Discovering that his sup****ters inside Tibet and China would become even
more active in the months approaching the Olympic Games this summer,
British intelligence officers in Beijing learned the ruling regime would
seek an excuse to move and crush the present unrest.

That fear was publicly expressed by the Dalai Lama. GCHQ's satellites,
geo-positioned in space, were tasked to closely monitor the situation.
The doughnut-shaped complex, near Cheltenham racecourse, is set in the
pleasant Cotswolds in the west of England. Seven thousand employees
include the best electronic experts and analysts in the world. Between
them they speak more than 150 languages. At their disposal are 10,000
computers, many of which have been specially built for their work.

The images they downloaded from the satellites provided confirmation the
Chinese used agent provocateurs to start riots, which gave the PLA the
excuse to move on Lhasa to kill and wound over the past week.
What the Beijing regime had not expected was how the riots would spread,
not only across Tibet, but also to Sichuan, Quighai and Gansu provinces,
turning a large area of western China into a battle zone.
The Dalai Lama has called it "cultural genocide" and has offered to
resign as head of the protests against Chinese rule in order to bring
peace. The current unrest began on March 10, marking the anniversary of
the 1959 Uprising against Chinese rule.
However, his followers are not listening to his "message of compassion."
Many of them are young, unemployed and dispossessed and reject his
philosophy of non-violence, believing the only hope for change is the
radical action they are now carrying out.
For Beijing, the urgent need to find a solution to the uprising is one
of growing embarrassment. In two weeks time, the national celebrations
for the Olympic Games start with the traditional torch relay. The torch
bearers are scheduled to pass through Tibet. But the torch could find
itself being carried by runners past burning buildings and temples.
A sign of this urgency is that the Chinese prime minister has now said
he is prepared to hold talks with the Dalai Lama. Just before this
announcement, Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown declared he would
meet the Dalai Lama, who is to visit London next month. This is the
first time either leader has proposed to meet the Dalai Lama.
