Ref: WTN Issue 96/01/28 item 5. "U.S. Officials Discussing Rights in China"

Not once in this article is Tibet mentioned. We must remind Reuters and all news agencies to always mention Tibet when they are talking about human rights in China. Taiwan is mentioned but not the crackdown on the "splittist Dalai Lama clique." It is our duty, as Tibet sympathizers, to always remind the media to treat Tibet like they do Taiwan, a separate entity embroiled in China's bigger picture.

You guys are doing a good job. Let us step up our actions another level up. We must also have an agenda. When do we want China to sit at the negotiating table to discuss Tibet's independence? How? I believe that if by the year 2000 the Tibet situation is still where it's at now, then Tibet is lost to China. China to the negotiating table by or before 2000.
