Some Tibetans accuse me of selling out their right to independence. But my approach is in our interest. Tibet is backward. It's a big land, rich in natural resources, but we lack the technology or expertise [to exploit them]. So if we remain within China, we might get a greater benefit, provided it respects our culture and environment and gives us some kind of guarantee...
...documentary or something in between. Its dialogue is replete with one-liners that fall flat, and its comic value is undermined by random senseless acts of violence (we watch Kynston beaten and bloodied, with no sense of satisfaction or ultimate moral redemption). The filmmakers missed a golden opportunity to exploit the subtle human side of a fascinating historical moment, instead creating an unconvincing hodgepodge of hackneyed aphorisms...
...poor countries like South Korea, which buys all of its crude on the open market and is therefore exposed to sharp price rises. The way to do that is to invest in exploration and development in countries that have oil fields but lack the capital or technology to exploit them. Once Chinese companies have a stake in oil coming out of the ground, even if it originates abroad, they'll have secured long-term supplies independent of the world's fickle prices. The process of overseas exploration began in 1997, when Premier Li Peng encouraged state-run oil concerns...
...right to independence. Even my eldest brother is for complete independence and he always accuses me [of this]. But my approach is actually in our own interest. Tibet is backward, it's a big land, quite rich in natural resources, but we completely lack the technology or expertise [to exploit them]. So if we remain within China, we might get a greater benefit, provided it respects our culture and beautiful environment and gives us some kind of guarantee. For us [it would mean] more modernization. The new railway [into Tibet], for instance. This is generally speaking a good thing, very...
...nuclear program in a country under sanctions, such as Iran." Europe really doesn't have much to offer Tehran for good behavior. Most European countries are trading with Iran already, evidenced by last month's reported €3.25 billion agreement by Spanish and Anglo-Dutch oil concerns to exploit Iran's natural gas reserves. Saeed Laylaz, a reformist analyst in Tehran, says only an end to U.S. sanctions and admission to the World Trade Organization might tempt the regime - something the U.S. is unlikely to support. Without a breakthrough, it's likely the IAEA will refer Iran next month...
