Zeng,

An interesting commentary.

Before Independence, people used to keep the photos of the King Emperor as also the photo of Mahatma Gandhi. One was to show 'loyalty' so that the govt machinery did not create problems and the other one was based on belief!

Yes, money corrupts. It is the ideal weapon to ruin the moral worth of a civilisation. The Roman Empire is but an example.

India is going through the phase now.

I would not know about Mainland China or about the autonomous regions of China.

I would not be surprised that the Dalai Lama would have lost his credibility amongst those now in Tibet.

I am not being difficult, but why are the Tibetan still fleeing Tibet?

There was this case (which was also discussed here on WAB) where the Chinese border guards had shot and killed some Tibetan trying to flee Tibet.
