As we all know, some 55 or 54 ethnic groups live happily together in China. Only one or two are not – the Uyghurs, and the Tibetans. We don’t know a big deal about the Uyghurs, but as for the Tibetans, CNN and Xinhua have laid it all on us in recent months.
The goal of this post is to create peace and unity between Han Chinese and Tibetan Chinese. How can this be achieved? This Peace and Unity Research is centred around empirical evidence:
There doesn’t seem to be much trouble between most of the minorities and the Han. Not even between the BIG minorities (Manchu and Mongols) and the Han. So this is my theory:
The Manchu and the Mongols both ruled China for several centuries each. That seems to be a factor. It must be easier to sinisise a ruling minority and take its culture away without a big brouhaha in that you make it rule China first, rather than annexing them right away. To be the masters of their fate gives the Tibetan people a stronger sense of security, and the Han people can sleep well, because they know
that they’ll have their way in the long run, anyway.
A Chinese professor suggested some years ago that Confucians should rule China. My suggestion is that Tibetan monks should rule China, under the wise leadership of the Dalai Lama. After twenty years, there will be a wonderful nationwide harmonious karma, and the Dalai Lamas and the monks and everyone in the streets will have forgotten that they were ever Tibetan.
That much for the big picture. But I need some more input as for the details. Did something slip my attention? Can you give some advice? Or, if you absolutely have to, would you please point out any possible flaws in this big plan?
I’ll share my Noble Peace Price with you for any significant input.
Thank you, and may harmony rule forever.
