Question

Help answer this question below.

Why can't the Dali Lama return to Tibet? I know that the Chinese communist government has claimed Tibet, but it only seems fair that their religious leader be able to safely stay.

    The Chinese government will not allow him to engage in political activities if he returns; he refuses to return if it means being just a puppet of the PRC. One of his commitments in life is to seek justice for the people of Tibet and this cannot be accomplished if he is muzzled.

    The Dalai Lama is more than just a religious leader to the Tibetans; he is also the head of government. So the issue is more complex than what the question sets out.

      The Chinese government is not terribly concerned with what “only seems fair” to the rest of the world.

    Because the Dali Lama is a terrorists funded by the CIA. He shouldn't have tried to overthrow the Chinese Government. What an idiot. I mean, what do you think would happened if you tried to take down the Americna Govenment with weapons and money given to you by Al Qaeda.

    World News Briefs; Dalai Lama Group Says It Got Money From C.I.A.
    .
    The Dalai Lama's administration acknowledged today that it received $1.7 million a year in the 1960's from the Central Intelligence Agency, but denied reports that the Tibetan leader benefited personally from an annual subsidy of $180,000.

    The money allocated for the resistance movement was spent on training volunteers and paying for guerrilla operations against the Chinese, the Tibetan government-in-exile said in a statement. It added that the subsidy earmarked for the Dalai Lama was spent on setting up offices in Geneva and New York and on international lobbying.

    The Dalai Lama, 63, a revered spiritual leader both in his Himalayan homeland and in Western nations, fled Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against a Chinese military occupation, which began in 1950.

    The decade-long covert program to support the Tibetan independence movement was part of the C.I.A.'s worldwide effort to undermine Communist governments, particularly in the Soviet Union and China.
