That would be awesome. A brilliant tactical move by the Chinese. After the Games are over, the Chinese would sought his head as the terrorist number one. This is ridiculous and if this is true, is going to be an extremely suspect move.

Dalai Lama to be invited to the Beijing Olympics? Invited? By the Chinese? Sounds absurd. But can the Chinese be trusted? He may be poisoned there? May be the Chinese won't risk it when His Holiness is there on an invitation. The point to be seen is how sincere the Chinese are for a reconciliation with the Dalai Lama and the Tibetans specially keeping in view of the recent turmoil in Tibet against Chinese occupation.

Besides this, how can the Chinese authorities do that when they have already labeled the Dalai Lama of having links with the Al Qaida? If they want some credibility of whatever statement they have had made regarding his terror links then the Americans should boycott the Olympics just because China is entertaining a terror mastermind. LOL

Goodness gracious me. They want a terrorist to be at the Games? Does that mean China wants to show the world that it is willing to go to any lengths to resolve a situation peacefully even if it means negotiating with a so-called terrorist with Osama links and also invite him to an official visit to witness perhaps the most prestigious Chinese international event? Oh God!

I do not think any one would believe it. This is simply impossible given the opposition to the character of Dalai Lama by the rabid Chinese nationalists who went hammer and tongs against the spiritual leader after what happened in Tibet in recent times. Fuck man, not believable. Would believe when we see it.

Hrrmmm - I think that when the Chinese said - we are having the Dalai Lama for lunch... they may have been misinterpreted...

but seriously... that would be great... even superficial détente looks better to the world than rabid nationalistic diatribe...
