China's decades-long repression of Tibetan independence continues
on as its global economic power continues to grow. In response to
the former and despite the latter, the independence movement
persists, represented here through the voices of Wang Lixiong and
Tsering Shakya. Born into the repressive one-party regime, both
writers now seek for Tibetan cultural and political autonomy, and
although each writer theorizes this goal differently, both are in
agreement about what must now be done. The result is this milestone
exchange. While Wang suggests the complicity of a fear-stricken
religion in perpetuating Chinese imperialist rule, Shakya
interprets recent Tibetan history as a history of colonialism,
against which the independence movement struggles for autonomous
rule. These differing and sometimes opposing lines of thought
finally climax in the present struggle for independence, ending
upon a joint statement regarding Tibet's future: true autonomy is
the only way.
