Media Releases - 23 May 2001Australia Celebrates Chinese Takeover Of TibetAustralia Tibet Council calls on Foreign Minister to reverse the decision to send an official representative to the reception at the Chinese Embassy to celebrate the 50th anniversary of China’s takeover of Tibet.For immediate release: May 23, 2001The Australia Tibet Council has called on Foreign Minister Alexander Downer to reverse what it calls his “shameful” decision to send an official representative to tomorrow (Thursday) night’s reception at the Chinese Embassy to celebrate the 50th anniversary of China’s takeover of Tibet.ATC Vice President Ms Alex Butler said she was “shocked and dismayed” that Australia would even consider attending the Chinese celebrations.“Would it be so difficult to just say ‘no’ to this invitation? We would never have attended a celebration at the Iraqi Embassy to celebrate the invasion of Kuwait, or even at the Indonesian Embassy to celebrate the takeover of East Timor. But when it comes to Tibet, it seems that the Australian government is not willing to stand up for even the most minimal principles.”Ms Butler said that as an Australian she felt embarrassed that in Washington, the Dalai Lama was about to hold a high profile meeting with US President Bush, whereas the Australian government was marking the 50th anniversary of the takeover of Tibet by joining in the Chinese government’s celebrations.It is understood that Australia will be represented at the Chinese reception by the head of the China Section of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
