Izehlakalo zakamuva eziphazamisayo e-Tibet kanye nokusabela kanzima kwe-China emibhikishweni yase-Tibet kuveza isimo samanje sobuholi bezombusazwe e-China kanye novalo lokusabela ngamazwe ngamazwe.
Muva nje, umphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe uzwakalise ukucasuka kokuziphatha ngokumelene nokuhlaselwa okufanayo kwemibhikisho yamaBuddha eMyanmar (Burma) nezinhlangano ezithile zezokuvakasha kanye nezifundiswa zifuna ukuduba ezokuvakasha ngokumelene neMyanmar. Abantu abafanayo, ngokuvamile abaqinile, bathuliswa ngendlela exakile lapho bephendula iChina.
Ukucindezelwa kwamaShayina kombhikisho waseTibet kujwayeleke ngokucindezelayo njengempendulo yakudala kahulumeni wobushiqela ekuphikisaneni kwangaphakathi. Ukusingatha kweShayina ama-Olympics ka-2008 kubhekwe ngendlela enethemba njengethuba lomphakathi waseShayina ovuleleke kakhudlwana ukuba ubonakale emhlabeni wonke. Nokho, umlando wama-Olympics anamuhla wembula ukuthi lapho umashiqela weqembu elilodwa usingatha iMidlalo Yama-Olympic ingwe enegunya ayiwashintshi amabala.
Ngo-1936, lapho iJalimane lobuNazi isingatha iMidlalo Yama-Olympic yaseBerlin, ukushushiswa kwamaJuda nabaphikisi bezombangazwe akuzange kuphele kodwa kumane kungabi sobala izinyanga ezimbalwa. Lapho iMoscow isingatha imidlalo yama-Olympics ngo-1980, umbuso wamaSoviet waqhubeka nokuthatha i-Afghanistan nokushushisa nokuboshwa kwawo abaphikisana nezombusazwe nangokwenkolo. Phakathi nama-Olympics ka-1936 no-1980, ukusakazwa kwabezindaba kwakulawulwa futhi kwahlanzwa imibuso yamaNazi neSoviet. Ngakho-ke, akumangazi ukuthi ngenkathi amaphoyisa aseChina kanye nezinsiza zezokuphepha ziqhubeka nokucindezela abaphikisana nenkolo njengoFalun Gong kanye nokudilizwa kwabaphikisana nezinyanga zaseTibet ngaphambi kwama-Olympics, uhulumeni waseChina uvimbela ukusakazwa kwabezindaba eChina.
Umehluko omkhulu phakathi kuka-2008 neminyaka edlule yama-Olympics ukuthi ukuvala nokuvala abezindaba akuyona inketho elula okwake kwaba yiyo. Ama-Olympics namuhla angumcimbi wabezindaba njengombukwane. Ukusabalala kwemidiya yesimanje emhlabeni jikelele, kugcwele yonke indawo, kuyashesha futhi kufuna ukufinyelela. I-China yazifaka engozini ngokwamukela ukusingathwa kwama-Olympics ka-2008 yazi ukuthi izoba sematheni kwabezindaba hhayi nje ngeMidlalo yama-Olympic kuphela kodwa njengezwe elizodlala kulo nyaka. Imizamo yokucinywa kwemithombo yezindaba yaseShayina ebekwe e-Tibet empeleni ingalimaza kakhulu isithombe seShayina kunokuhle njengoba izindaba eziqinile, ukubika okuvulekile namaqiniso kuthathelwa indawo ukuqagela kanye nesimangalo kuzo zombili izinhlangothi zokuhlukana kwe-China ne-Tibet.
Naphezu kokuthuthuka komphakathi waseShayina, ukwamukeleka kwawo kwezobuchwepheshe kanye namabhizinisi omhlaba, umlayezo kahulumeni waseShayina wenkulumo-ze ngezenzakalo zaseTibet usalokhu ungcolile njengoba wawunjalo ezinsukwini zikaSihlalo uMao's Cultural Revolution. Ukusola kweChina i-“Dali Lama Clique” ngezinkinga zase-Tibet akunangqondo lapho u-Dali Lama ngokwakhe ememezela esidlangalaleni ukuthula nokuzibamba phakathi kwamaTibet futhi ephikisana nokuduba ama-Olympics ase-Beijing. Ukube uhulumeni waseShayina ubunolwazi lwezepolitiki kanye nabezindaba izinkinga ezikhona bezizoveza ithuba lomzamo ohlangene phakathi kukaDali Lama, abalandeli bakhe kanye nohulumeni waseShayina ukuze baxazulule ngokuhlanganyela izinkinga zaseTibet ekukhanyeni okugcwele kokukhangisa okuhle kwamazwe ngamazwe. I-China yenze okuphambene futhi izingqinamba zase-Tibet, ezicatshangelwe ukucinywa kwabezindaba, zingene ngokushesha enkingeni engase igubuzele ama-Olympics ka-2008 futhi yenqabe imboni yezokuvakasha yaseChina ukuthi inethemba elikhulu lokuthola inzuzo yezokuvakasha kuma-Olympic.
I-China inethuba lokubalekela isihlabathi esicabangayo ewele kuso kodwa izothatha ubuholi obuphefumulelwe kanye nokuguqulwa kwezindlela zakudala zokulungisa umonakalo odalwe yizenzo zayo ezidale isithunzi samazwe ngamazwe sase-China kanye nokukhanga kwayo njengendawo yama-Olympic kanye nendawo yezokuvakasha. I-China ingalulekwa kahle ukuthi isebenzise indlela engeke ilahlekelwe ubuso bezwe. Umphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe ukhubazeke kakhulu ngenxa yokwesaba nokwesaba amandla eShayina kwezomnotho, ezombusazwe kanye nezempi ukuze abhikishele ngempumelelo izenzo zeShayina. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abavakashi bamazwe ngamazwe banamandla okuvotela izenzo zeShayina ngokungabibikho kwabo, uma bekhetha ukwenza kanjalo. Lokhu akukhona ukugqugquzelwa kokuduba ezokuvakasha kodwa abavakashi abaningi bangase besabe ukuya eChina ngaphansi kwezimo ezikhona manje.
Ubuholi obukhaliphile baseShayina buzozwakalisa ukubonga kwabo ngekhwelo lika-Dali Lama lokuthi ama-Olympics ase-Beijing aqhubeke kanye nokuba kuxazululwe ngokuthula inkinga yase-Tibet. Ngokomoya walo nyaka wama-Olympic, kungaba kuhle kweShayina ukubiza ingqungquthela ngokukhanya okugcwele kokwazisa kwamazwe ngamazwe ukuze kuxoxiswane ngesinqumo esihlanganisa i-Dali Lama. Indlela enjalo izophawula ushintsho olukhulu lwepharadigm ebuholini baseChina. Nokho, kuningi okusengozini. I-China ithembele ekukhuleni kwezokuvakasha njengento ebalulekile ekusaseni layo lezomnotho futhi kulo nyaka i-China iyazi ukuthi isithombe sayo samazwe ngamazwe sisengozini.
AmaShayina abheka “ubuso” njengenani elikhulu. Izenzo zamanje zikahulumeni waseChina maqondana neTibet zilahlekelwa nguhulumeni futhi zifake iChina enkingeni yokucabanga. NgesiShayina, igama elithi crisis lisho “inkinga nethuba.” Manje sekunethuba lokuthi i-China ibambe ithuba elingasiza ekuxazululeni inkinga yase-China yase-Tibet kanye nesithombe sayo samazwe ngamazwe ngesikhathi esisodwa, kodwa kudinga ukucabanga okusemaceleni okushintshe ngokushesha ngasohlangothini lobuholi bayo bezepolitiki. Ukukhula kwebhizinisi lezokuvakasha okulindeleke kakhulu eShayina kusukela kuma-Olympics ka-2008 kusengcupheni okwamanje ngenxa ye-odium ehlobene nezenzo zaseShayina zamanje e-Tibet. Indlela eshintshile ngokushesha ingahlenga isimo esiyinselele kakhulu eChina.
