:52:02
It is time we remind
the world we are independent,
would you say, Holiness?
:52:06
Can lndia help us? They know
we are not a part of China.
:52:11
India is a newly independent nation.
They are struggling.
:52:14
They are in no position
to help us.
:52:17
Britain?
:52:19
Britain chooses not to.
:52:23
And America?
:52:25
America. America.
We shall see, Holiness.
:52:30
I shall write a letter
to the president of America.
:52:34
Excellent, Kundun.
:52:36
I will go see
Reting Rinpoche now.
:52:39
I must advise against that,
Holiness.
:52:47
I want Reting Rinpoche
well cared for.
:52:51
He is my teacher.
He found me.
:52:54
It will be as you say, Holiness.
:53:08
I need to know
what you know now.
:53:11
I'm no longer a child.
:53:22
And so, Mao Tse-tung
has called for all-out war.
:53:25
He will settle for nothing less
than a red China.
:53:28
Will the lron Curtain
descend over Asia, as it has
over Russia and Eastern Europe?
:53:33
It is conceivable that this declaration
of war, following 20 years of fighting,
:53:37
may mark the final moments
of a free China.
:53:41
Mao Tse-tung is now mounting
an offensive in Peking.
:53:44
Kundun. Kundun.
:53:46
Listen to this:
:53:48
"To Mr. Truman, the President
of the United States of America:
:53:52
I am glad that you are enjoying best
of health and doing good service...
:53:56
to uplift the happiness
and prosperity of the whole world.
