A magnitude-7.1 earthquake shook the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, western China's Qinghai Province on the dawn of April 14, 2010.  By 5:00 pm on April 25, a total of 2,220 people died and 70 were missing. Up to now, the reconstruction work is under way in order out there.

However, some rumors were spread out from representatives of the Dalai Lama clique. For example, the Dalai Lama's representative in Taiwan said, "the death toll was at least 4000 rendered by the Yushu earthquake," and claimed that the serious injury was related to the "nucleus".  Some Tibetans in exile even held a demonstration, requiring a ban on nuclear test in Tibet. Awan Weiba, Chairman of the Tibetan Independence Movement, "urge the Chinese authorities to stop immediately the development plan harmful to the humankind."
From all publicized materials, there is no suspicion about the "man-made" cause of the earthquake in Yushu from any institutions and experts from home and abroad.  The reports on the dead toll in Yushu from foreign media are also based on real figures. Therefore, the above suspicions from those pro-Tibetan Independence and Tibetans in exile are absolutely groundless. In fact, these assertions are the usual tricks of the Dalai Lama clique to make advantage of natural disasters in promoting themselves with an attempt to bring shame on the Chinese government.

It can be induced from the timing of the rumors being issued that they were carefully designed. The indiscriminate linkage of the Yushu Earthquake to the Nuclear Summit in the United States was similar with the Lhasa Incident plotted by Dalai Lama on March 14, 2008 in an attempt to thwart to the relaying of the Olympic Torch in 2008. And, as we have always found, the Dalai Lama is indeed an "expert" in taking advantage of major international conferences and meetings to create some hot issues and publicize themselves with the intention to attract the attention of the media and add to their merits.  The lama's routine conspiracy this time demonstrated his intrigue of confusing the right and the wrong and mongering rumors due to the selfishness of his team.

Some scholars take this as an "awkwardness" of information sovereignty in the context of the globalization. The representatives of the Dalai Lama clique just took advantage of this "awkwardness" to point their fingers from the States at China and spread rumors about the relief work after the Yushu quake and made trouble with the backup and connivance of a strong master from behind the scene.  This action makes no sense either to the people in Yushu, the Chinese people or to those who are concerned about the quake in Yushu from other countries.

Although it is a good deal for the Dalai Lama clique to draw eyeballs across the world, they neglect the fact that they did a ruthless and additional harm to the quake victims.  Their on-looking attitude will only hurt the feelings of Yushu people since it averts the very basic ethnic standard of the human being. We believe that the conspiracy of such an organization will not succeed as it represents the benefits of the autocratic group in old Tibet with an aim to splitting China, which runs counter to the basic humanitarian norms.
