I think it just goes to her “celebrity” power to be known by her first name, and her first name to invoke the image of her when heard. I wouldn’t necessarily interpret that as bad at all.

1950s the time when Dalai Lama lost escaped from Tibet. Mahbubhani instead finds fault with the USA :
————

The book “Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA” by Tim Weiner, (May 2008, ISBN-10: 0307389006) stated that CIA secretly trained Tibetan fighters and funded two religeous centers for Dalai Lama in the West. (See page 300 of the hardcover).

This information is well-known in Asia for many decades. Recently, France also had a documentary made to discredit Dalai Lama. In US, there is a lot of disinformation about this. (One would not be suprised.)

I, for one, am not suprised at all.

Took note of that in the onset of the interview.
How dare they show so little respect and common skill set, to set the tone in an appropriate manner.
How about saying ” Why do you think Barack chose this particular region……???
Goodness gracious ! It would not happen or take place in any interview.Truly disturbing as you described Sandie78 indeed !

Is it at all disturbing that they feel comfortable referring to the United States Secretary of State as “Hillary”? Only once did anyone, Pei, refer to her as Secretary Clinton.

Is Mr Mahbubhani the best person that CNN could get ?

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-mahbubani25apr25,0,6497421.story

The above article introduced me to MAHBUBANI. the article was too liberal in using collectives, “This is a Western ritual” ,”Western minds”, “Western human rights”, “Chinese mind” …Can you summarize and “Try stepping into the Chinese minds” ? In the interview above, MAHBUBHANI goes to “Chinese minds” .

1950s the time when Dalai Lama lost escaped from Tibet. Mahbubhani instead finds fault with the USA :

the Chinese recall that the latest efforts to separate Tibet from China came as recently as the 1940s and 1950s, when British and U.S. agents were seen to be encouraging Tibetan independence while the new People’s Republic was still weak.

This is the time when tibet put on cultural revolution, the hostile state interfered in amcient Monasteries in rather secluded places. It is unfortunate that somebody blaming the US for voicing support for a Gandhi like personal in Dalai Lama. why wouldn’t one support him when he is criminalized and driven out by the state ?

I have strong doubt if individual exist for MAHBUBHANI’s in his collectives of Indian, chinese and western minds. I am not sure if Kishore Mahbubhani would the best guy that CNN could get. Just apprehensions.
