[Buddha-l] FW: H-ASIA: Buddhist inspired violence in Asia -further readings (response)

[Curt Steinmetz]

Barry Sautman is quite literally an apologist for the Chinese government 
on the Tibet issue. In my opinion this puts him in the same ethical 
category as holocaust deniers, Osama Bin Laden, Dick Cheney, and, well, 
the Chinese government.

"Barry Sautman, Associate Professor of Social Science at the Hong Kong 
University of Science and Technology, spoke at UCLA December 2 to defend 
the thesis that claims of cultural repression against Tibetans by the 
Han Chinese are greatly exaggerated by Tibetan exiles in India and by 
the liberal Western press. His talk was met with some skepticism from 
discussant Nancy Levine (Anthropology, UCLA) and by some members of the 
audience, but he presented a wide range of data to support his view. The 
talk was sponsored by the Center for Chinese Studies."
