the dollar llama, june 4, 2009. -- dalai lama, june 4, 2009. [applause] >> thank you very much. as a key to his holiness, the dalai lama. i am pleased to call to the podium the congresswoman from the state of florida. she is very passionate in the cause of human rights, and we forgive her for not bringing some florida sunshine for us this morning. >> thank you so much, dr. lee, representatives of human rights organizations, ladies and gentlemen. at the turn of the last century, those who were yearning to breathe free turned their gaze to a towering lady who lifted a bright torch high above her head. she stood proudly at the entrance of a great american city, pointing the way to liberty for the expected masses below. exactly two decades ago today, a second towering lady lifted another torture above another expectant crowd. this was the goddess of democracy of beijing. art students made her out of youthful idealism, and she soon emerged on television screens around the world as the symbol of hope for the people of china. the students who created the statue announced its unveiling.

speak to that issue sensitive and put pressure on the indians in terms of how much tibetans and the dollar llama can speak out. we saw this in the tibetan uprising, how much pressure was put on india to try -- it is hard to do this, to try to indians to put some claims on pakistan and south asia when they want a wider perspective of security matters, maritime issues in particular. i would put that in my contacts and the chinese have no incentive to resolve the dispute as long as it serves the interests of distracting india, making sure that india doesn't rise as a competitor to china. >> i would add a couple points. the 2 countries have the situation well managed in this sense that india and knows it can defend that border. china doesn't have an interest in starting a military conflict, they joust a little bit, but the big issue is attitude and psychological. china still treats india like a little stepbrother. and that is the thing that is very frustrating to india. where china has resolved all of its other outstanding border issues it has not resolve the one with india, partly for these reasons
