"It is also essential that the 1.3 billion Chinese people have free access to information about their own country and elsewhere, as well as freedom of expression and the rule of law. If there were greater transparency inside China, there would be greater trust, which would be the proper basis for promoting harmony, stability and progress. This is why everyone concerned must exert their efforts in this direction." - H. H. the Dalai Lama (March 10, 2010 - 51st Anniversary of Tibetan National Uprising Day statement)
