:53:06
I think there are some things
we need to change here in Tibet.
:53:12
- We will have tea, please, Pompo.
- Yes.
:53:17
- Were you hurt, Taktra Rinpoche?
- I am fine, Kundun.
:53:21
I am old
and too tough to kill.
:53:24
[ Laughs ]
:53:30
Now, tell me about China.
:53:35
Ah, yes. Again, a very
complicated situation, Holiness.
:53:41
Your Holiness, the Chinese are once
again trying to convince the world...
:53:45
that Tibet belongs to them.
:53:47
- Tibet is Tibet.
- For a long time, Holiness,
:53:50
we have agreed to disagree.
:53:53
We knew,
and we knew that they knew.
:53:58
[ Counselor ] Now, they are
trying to rewrite history.
:54:03
How unfortunate.
:54:09
Why don't we ask all
the Chinese living here to leave?
:54:12
If there are no Chinese in Tibet,
we cannot be a Chinese region.
:54:16
[ Chuckles Quietly ]
Very good, Kundun.
:54:19
It is time we remind
the world we are independent,
would you say, Holiness?
:54:23
Can lndia help us? They know
we are not a part of China.
:54:28
India is a newly independent nation.
They are struggling.
:54:32
They are in no position
to help us.
:54:34
Britain?
:54:36
Britain chooses not to.
:54:41
And America?
:54:43
America. America.
We shall see, Holiness.
:54:48
I shall write a letter
to the president of America.
:54:52
Excellent, Kundun.
:54:54
I will go see
Reting Rinpoche now.
:54:57
I must advise against that,
Holiness.
