Quote:Chinese students are leading objections to the event, which will see the Dalai Lama give a commencement speech on graduation day.

They have claimed that his presence is offensive because of his campaign to make Tibet more independent – contrary to the Communist government’s position that Tibet is a region of China under their control.

There's a better chance that California will become independent in the next 10 years, than that Tibet will become independent in the next 100 years.

Here is my question,

from the article:
Quote:They consider the Dalai Lama a threat to stability in China, akin to a terrorist who wants to split the country.

If the Dalai Lama wanting Tibet to be independent threatens the stability of China and therefore makes him a terrorist.

Does that mean that those who want California to be independent are threatening the stability of the US and therefore are terrorists?
