Buddhist monk continues defiance

Dalai Lama to Visit Indian Region Claimed by China
I found this news article today it mentions several developments with regard to Tibet and The Dalai Lama. The article focuses primarily on H.H visit to an area in India that is largely Tibetan Buddhists, which China is now claiming as part of its territory.
Every time I read an article like this I am struck by two things:
China has changed very little in its human rights and desire to take whatever it likes by what ever means necessary.
One man; The Dalai Lama in this case, can change much. I sometimes read criticism of the Dalai Lama on the internet, I wonder how much of it is Chinese propaganda. Whatever its source is, I am dumb founded by the assertions which wish to somehow paint this gentle, caring, and tireless example of humanity as somehow inhumane.
However this territory dispute ends in India, I see the Dalai Lama and his people as winners; a triumph of human spirit over greed ignorance and power.
Funny how a government that could benefit so much by the practice of Buddhism is so hell bent on destroying it. Imagine if China
could understand the ridiculousness of killing over a boundary that could only be described as an illusion.
Here is the Article.
