: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.
:55:06
I want Reting Rinpoche
well cared for.
:55:10
He is my teacher.
He found me.
:55:13
It will be as you say, Holiness.
:55:28
I need to know
what you know now.
:55:31
I'm no longer a child.

[ British Radio Announcer ]
And so, Mao Tse-tung
has called for all-out war.
:55:46
He will settle for nothing less
than a red China.
:55:49
Will the lron Curtain
descend over Asia, as it has
over Russia and Eastern Europe?
:55:54
It is conceivable that this declaration
of war, following 20 years of fighting,
:55:58
may mark the final moments
of a free China.
