  Recently, the Dalai clique published a Selfimmolation Guide on the Internet, openly encouraging Tibetans within the Chinese border to “carry out self-immolations according to the plan and procedures.”
  The guide demonstrates a sober attitude in scheming and arranging the cruel actions of self-immolations, which makes it stand out among much propaganda of the Dalai clique, and thus soon gets intense scrutiny.
  The author of the guide is Lhamo Je, who had been a “member of the parliament” for two terms in the “parliament” of the Dalai clique and is still in an important position in its “educational system.” The guide is published in his own name only for the “Tibetan government-inexile” to avoid public condemnation toward its overt manipulation of self-immolations.
  The guide consists of four parts. The first part is an ideological mobilization that advocates the idea that self-immolators are “great and honorable fearless heroes” and that“both heroes and heroines” should be ready at all times to sacrifice themselves for a “just cause.”
  The second part gives detailed instruction on the “self-immolation preparation,” including“picking important days and places,” “leaving written or recorded last words,” and “asking a couple of trustworthy people to help record videos and take photos.”
  The third part introduces “self-immolation slogans” and instructs the self-immolators to shout “Free Tibet,” “Let the Dalai Lama return to Tibet,” and “Release political prisoners,” and so forth, and asks them to print out the slogans into leaflets to scatter them on the spots to increase the impact.
  The fourth part illustrates “other non-violent activities” such as “loudly shouting campaign slogans at schools and other populated places,”“making public speeches,” and “filing petitions to the Central Government,” and prints out that“it is very important to launch various activities in the fields of politics, economy, religion and culture.”
  No matter from which perspective, this guide can yet be regarded as “a remarkable piece of writing,” for it is tantamount to the “confession” of the Dalai clique that has committed the crime of manipulating selfimmolations.
  As the head of the “Tibetan governmentin-exile” has asked the Central Government to show evidence of the Dalai clique’s manipulation of the self-immolations, and “welcome” the Chinese group to go to Dharamsala to search for evidence, they have now made the evidence public by themselves.   The reliability of the evidence not only lies in the source of the writer, a senior official of the Dalai clique, but also in the confirmation of every item of the contents listed by all the selfimmolations that occurred before.


  In fact, almost every self-burning happened on the spot just like what the guide had planned—someone recording the scene on video, someone shouting separatist slogans, inciting and gathering people to stop the government from taking rescue actions.
  Sometimes the Dalai clique was able to hype the burning cases with the photos and personal data of the self-immolators within only dozens of minutes.
  The contents of the “last words” shouted by the self-immolators are exactly the same with the guide.
  According to Lorang Konchok, who has pleaded guilty of intentional homicide that he acted on the instructions of the Dalai clique, who required him to make use of his status and influence in the temple, and incited, instigated and coerced others to burn themselves with the help of his nephew.
  Before the self-burning happened, Lorang Konchok recorded the individual and family information of the self-immolator and took photos for them. Once the self-immolation crime was committed, he sent the information immediately to the Dalai clique through a cellphone call.
  The guide aims to “standardize and systematize the self-immolation behavior so as to manipulate it like an assembly line in the future,” and reach the “more efficient” goal put forward by the Dalai Lama.
  The guide also gives a slap to some Western faces. In order to contain and split China, for many years these forces have set the Dalai Lama as a “non-violent” struggle model.
  After the self-immolation incidents, they completely disregarded the fact, denied the crimes committed by the Dalai clique, and accused the policy made by the Chinese Government of causing the self-immolations. Furthermore, they even showed sympathy for and “concern” to those criminals who have been sentenced to jail in line with the Chinese law to encourage the self-immolation manipulators.
  The publication of the guide, which openly admitted the crime of the Dalai clique’s inciting and scheming self-immolations, its political motivations as well as its future plans of continued manipulations, hasn’t saved faces of his Western masters.
  Why did the Dalai clique publish the guide at this moment? The reason is that the extremists among them feel desperate.   According to the Sing Tao Daily based in Canada, the 14th Dalai Lama once instructed his followers earnestly and tirelessly, “Suppose we resort to arms to achieve our objective. We need guns and ammunition in the first place, but who will sell them to us? If we find the seller, where can we get the money? Even if we have money and get guns, how can these guns be transported to China and through which country’s border? The CIA once air-dropped guns for us, which happened in the past and will never happen again.”
  The 14th Dalai Lama drew a lesson from his own failures: That seeking “Tibet independence” through violent activities publicly didn’t work, and it is better to adopt the “middle-way approach,” which can deceive the world and seek “Tibet independence” indirectly. However, this political plot hasn’t made any progress since its existence, and even the channel of contact and talk with the Chinese Government was blocked by them.
  Up to now, the scheme of manipulating self-immolations has been worked out by racking their brains as “the highest form of nonviolent struggle,” which will be doomed. All of these make some extremists more and more impatient, so they had to publish the guide, hoping this wicked fire would be extinguished with some “achievements” at least.
  Another reason for the publication of the guide is that self-immolations have achieved no effect in the international community as the Dalai clique had expected. Even some Western powers who always support the Dalai clique dare not take such a huge risk of losing political reputation or moral legitimacy to support manipulating self-immolations, which is violence and terrorism.
  The head of the “Tibetan government-inexile” lamented, “self-immolation in Tunisia can be the catalyst of the Arab Spring, why cannot we get the same support from the international community as that in the Arab world?” reported The New York Times on February 3.
  A comment from the Chinese News Net pinpointed, “In fact, the self-immolations of Tibetans have rarely received support from the international community.”
  It is hard to imagine that how the international community can support such brutal and inhumane acts. The Chinese Government doesn’t create conditions to encourage Tibetans to self-immolate. Hence it cannot be condemned.
  Western countries all understand the background of the self-immolations. They have given enough face for not condemning the“Tibetan government-in-exile.”   The Dalai clique attempted to prompt more self-immolations through publishing the guide in order to beg for more international compassion. This act has actually made the international community recognize the ferocity and insanity of the Dalai clique clearly, and urged some Western powers to hold back when supporting the Dalai clique.
  The guide published by the Dalai clique at the moment attempted to make political blackmail against the Chinese Government but it turned out to be in vain.
  If plotting “Tibet independence” failed in 1959 through the military confrontation and armed rebellion, how would it be possible to make it by inciting several people to burn themselves?
  As a matter of fact, the evidence of the Dalai Lama’s role in manipulating self-immolation has been made clear. Many criminals, whose acts are detested by the local people, have been brought to justice.
  The Chinese Government will win the battle against self-immolation as long as it does not entertain the delusions of the Dalai clique, nor expect some Western forces to be kind, but keep the situation under control on the basis of our own work.
  The Dalai clique’s fantasy that every self-immolation will exert some pressure on the Chinese Government will be highly counter-productive. On the contrary, every self-immolation case that occurred was an additional bloody crime the Dalai clique committed for its own ethnic Tibetans.
