1998 年在與克林頓的會談中 , 江澤民表示如果達賴公開承認西藏和台灣是中國的一部份就可以談判

 

By the late 1990s, Dalai Lama had much support from movie stars, singers, and other celebrities. The interest in Buddhism in the West guarantees him a big following.

90 年代末 , 達賴喇嘛得許多電影明星 , 歌星及其他名人支持 . 西方對佛教的興趣保證他有很多追隨者

There is also a lot of political activism about Tibet in the US. For example, Students for a Free Tibet organization has chapters on 400 campuses.

美國還有許多關注西藏的政治行動主義者 . 例如 , 有一個名為” Students for a Free Tibet” 的組織在 400間校園設有支部 .

There still have not been any negotiations on the Tibet Question, however, because the 2 parties disagree about:

兩方仍然沒有任何關於西藏問題的商談 , 因為它們不同意 :

1. history: the Chinese government wants the Dalai Lama to say that Tibet was part of China before 1950; the Dalai Lama insists that Tibet was always independent.

歷史 : 中國政府希望達賴喇嘛表示西藏 1950 年之前已是中國一部份 ; 達賴喇嘛堅持西藏一直是獨立的

2. territory: the Chinese government says it will negotiate about the Tibet Autonomous Region, but the Dalai Lama wants negotiations about all areas inhabited by Tibetans.

領土 : 中國政府表示只談西藏自治區 , 但達賴喇嘛希望包括所有有西藏人居住的地方

3. the political system: the Chinese governments wants to maintain Communist Party rule in Tibet; the Dalai Lama wants “genuine autonomy,” that is a high degree of autonomy, as in Hong Kong, with a liberal democracy.

政治制度 : 中國政府希望在西藏維持共產黨執政 ; 達賴喇嘛希望有”真正的自治” 即有高度自治 , 正如香港 , 和行自由民主制

US politicians are almost all sympathetic to the Dalai Lama and give him a warm reception when he comes to US. The US administration, however, continues to agree that Tibet is part of China.

美國政治家差不多全都同情達賴喇嘛及當他到美國時給他熱情招待 . 但美國行政部則繼續同意西藏是中國一部份之說法

  Tibet issues that most concern US politicians are claimed destruction

of Tibetan culture through Han migration, benefits of development in Tibet going to Han, rather than Tibetans and lack of freedom of religion in Tibet.

美國政治家們最為關注的西藏問題在于：漢族遷移對西藏文化的破坏；開發西藏的受益人是漢族而不是西藏人；西藏沒有宗教自由

In 2002, Congress passed Tibet Policy Act that affirms Congress’ stand that Tibet is an “occupied country,” calls upon US to open a consulate in Tibet, treat Tibet as a separate country from China in all US government reports and give several million US dollars yearly to DL’s government-in-exile.

2002 年， 國會通過了《西藏政策議案》重申了國會的西藏問題立場， 即西藏是“被占領的國家”， 同時呼吁美國政府在西藏建立領事館， 在所有美國政府的報告中將西藏看作獨立于中國的國家， 同時每年資助達賴流亡政府數百万美元

  China criticizes the US government whenever the Dalai lama is received

by US officials, but China may also want the US to persuade the Dalai Lama to be more flexible.

每當有美國官員接待達賴喇嘛 , 中國都會評擊美國政府 , 但中國亦希望美國可說服達賴喇嘛變得更加靈活

In 2002-2004, Dalai Lama’s representatives visited Tibet and China’s major cities and met with Chinese officials. Also met with PRC officials in Switzerland in 2005.

在 2002 年到 2004 年 , 達賴喇嘛的代表訪問了西藏和中國其他的主要城市 , 還會面了中國的官員 .2005 年也在瑞士與中國的官員進行了會面 .

US government has expressed support for these “talks about talks.” It is unlikely there will be formal negotiations soon, however; nor will US be invited to mediate the dispute.

美國政府表達了對於這些”關與和談的談話”的支持 .但在近期進行更正式的談判是不可能 ,而且美國也不可能被邀請去調解這些紛爭 .
