Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC) recently resorted to the so-called "peaceful and non-violence" steps in an attempt to achieve its goal of "Tibetan independence". But the violence in Lhasa on March 14 revealed its terrorist nature.

Some members of the TYC announced they would "forever use violence" when it was founded in India in 1970. Since then, "terrorism" has become its label. Its crimes to achieve "Tibetan independence" reached its climax with the recent Lhasa riots.

They mistakenly regarded the 2008 Beijing Olympics as the "last chance" for their secessionist activities, and advocated that "Tibetans in all parts of the world should commit themselves to the campaign".

The day after the Lhasa riots, the TYC approved a decision to "found a guerrilla movement as soon as possible to secretly enter into China and carry out armed struggles" at a meeting of its "central executive committee".

However, as the truth about the Lhasa riots became known to the world, the TYC was doomed to be criticized and abandoned by the world people for its violent and terrorist activities to separate Tibet from the motherland.

All the people, who are well informed, peace-loving and pursuing development, will be able to perceive the ugly face of the TYC and never facilitate its efforts to diminish China's image.
