I'm just glad I could play a small part in letting his side of the argument be heard, by people who normally wouldn't have known about China's misrepresentations. In fact, I agree with him on almost every point. The parts of my article that were edited for space would, I believe, have made my position clearer. And yet I thought it was good for people to be confronted with the Chinese position for a change.
I especially support his position that China saying the Dalai Lama would return to a feudal system is pure nonsense. I'm not sure what relevance any discussion of Tibet's pre-1950 system has for the current realities of Tibet, but I do know that supporters of a free Tibet should at least be aware of it in order to be prepared for that specific charge from China.
