Bremen) KPEN, The 8th Statement We, South Korea¡¯s Engaged Philosophers, Resolutely Protest Against China's Bloody Crackdown On The Tibetan Protesters We, South Korea's engaged philosophers, resolutely protest against China's bloody crackdown on the Tibetan protesters in Lhasa and other parts of China in the recent days. We point out that by the actions the Chinese authorities lay bare the colonial character of their rule in Tibet. While violent protests often happened in the recent years in many parts of China proper and are regularly being put down by the police state methods, the use of live ammunition against the Tibetan protesters, which led to many casualties (some estimates point out that the figure may well exceed 100 persons) does show that the Tibetans are rather viewed as colonial subjects than equal citizens of China. While the demands of the protesters in China proper are often being attentively heard by the authorities as long as these demands do not threaten the political powers of the party-state, the Tibetans appear to be brutally put down without being given any positive attention by China's power holders. Do the Chinese leaders really think that they can acquire the "soft power" of moral authority in the world affairs (to which they evidently aspire), by demonstrating such an extent of the colonial brutality, reminiscent of the worst European atrocities in Asia and Africa in the heydays of European imperialism? We take no position of principle in the question of the recognition of Tibet's independent statehood – we think that the issue should be ultimately decided in accordance with the free will of the Tibetans themselves, and on ce they will demand independence, this demand should be dealt with in a democratic and non-violent way by the Chinese authorities. We also sincerely believe that the future of Tibet - be it a genuine, wide autonomy or independence - should be discussed in the process of direct negotiations between Tibet's Government in exile and Chinese government in a peaceful and mutually respectful manner. However, the colonial brutality employed now by the Chinese authorities casts doubt on their willingness to allow the democratic expression of the will of the Tibetan people and to negotiate with Tibet's exiled Government. We believe that, as a country claiming to aspire to the great ideals of socialism, China should have been able to handle peacefully the legitimate discontent of the Tibetan ethnic minority whose traditional way of life and religion seem to be seriously endangered both by the institutions of state control and by the recent introduction of market economy in its most inhumane and unfair forms. We believe that as a power holding practical control over Tibet, China should stop using arrests and other methods of state violence against religious and nationalist activists, should stop denouncing Dalai Lama, who is accepted by the majority of Tibetans as their spiritual leader, and should take radical steps to ameliorate rural poverty and narrow the growing gap between urban and rural populations, as well as gaps in earnings between ethnic Tibetans and ethnic Han Chinese or Hui Muslims. We also warn China that the violence it employs in Tibet - which reminds all of us about the violence Japanese colonizers employed against the Korean people during the national March 1 movement in 1919 - may make us to reconsider our attitudes towards the coming Beijing Olympics and Korean participation in this event. The Olympics were originally supposed to be the celebration of peace, the event which temporarily stopped all the wars in ancient Greece. Today, China seems, however, to be engaged in a brutal war against the people whom it claims to be its own, and who want the Chinese authorities to recognize their cultural and religious particularity, as well as their legitimate aspirations towards genuine democratic self-rule. The rulers of Chinese should not think that we will enjoy the Olympics in full knowledge of the ordeals the political prisoners in Tibet will have to go through in their dungeons at that moment. We will not. The Chinese authorities should reconsider their position while it is still not too late, or face the full and complete loss of the respect and trust by the outer world. April 27, 2008.
