    I remember when "Free Tibet" was a refrain frequently heard from musicians and actors. Now that China is a big market Hollywood won't even say the word Tibet.
    For shame.

      Best of luck to you my friend. I'm in a similar situation here in the USA. Our country is ruled by Israeli bankers who steal at least 30% of my income in taxes every year and give me nothing in return. It's not a free country by any means. We have to pay taxes or a fee to do pretty much anything. I can't even go into a National Park nature area here and walk around for less than a $30 fee. It sucks being ruled by foreigners. Just walking around in town my actions are scrutinized by police officers who are looking for a reason to fine or arrest me. At least the Chinese aren't importing millions of foreigners into your country to replace you.

The CCP is interested in keeping the population weak by getting them addicted to alcohol. Uyghurs are muslim and don't drink alcohol. The CCP wants to eradicate every tradition and separate people to prevent them from uniting against the CCP. The Uyghurs hold on to their religion and traditions, which unites them.

      Well Tibet is in a difficult position because it's technically been part of the Chinese Empire since the late 1600s
      And conquest and formal control was established by the Chinese in 1720, Albeit during a brutal sacking of Lasha and nearly burning the entire city to the ground
      So understand this isn't me defending the Chinese but to help others understand that their historic claim to the land does have some international legal merit because they have been the rulers of the land for over 250 years
      Now to be fair the Right of Conquest isn't allowed anymore by international law ever since 1949 but that's neither here nor there and not helpful in Tibet's current situation
      IMO though they aren't worthy to the claim, because of how badly the Tibetans have been treated as a result of those 250 years and the subsequent half century since Chinese control was reestablished in 1953
      But unfortunately Tibet finds itself in a very similar position to Taiwan where it's not a legally recognized country and even worse is that unlike Taiwan who was at one point given a seat at the UN, Tibet never had such a luxury
      Meaning there's no historical legacy within the recent global world order that Tibet can point to and therefore seek help in regard to it's situation

      The United States considers the Tibet Autonomous Region or TAR (hereinafter referred to as 'Tibet') as part of the People's Republic of China. This longstanding policy is consistent with the view of the entire international community, including all China's neighbors: no country recognizes Tibet as a sovereign state. Moreover, U.S. acceptance of China's claim of sovereignty over Tibet predates the establishment of the People's Republic of China. In 1942, we told the Nationalist Chinese government then headquartered in Chongqing (Chungking) that we had 'at no time raised (a) question' over Chinese claims to Tibet."

    Late Panchen Lama summarized the Chinese rule in Tibet in his incisive petition named "70,000 character" in mid 1960s to Mao. Mao imprisoned Panchen Lama for 9 years during cultural revolution (1966-76) for his petition.
    Panchen Lama summed up the Chinese rule in Tibet as "ounce of development for tonnes of destruction".

    I love the irony of China using the Yuan dynasty as a reason for subjugating neighbouring cultures.

      As Chinese, we are more concerned about how to let the Indians restore their territory in North America.

      I guess you never know Qing dynasty. And u think every region is capable of self government and independent? Look at South Africa after ending apartheid to let local black rule themselves. Guess what happened? It's worst than apartheid times. Many South Africa black even envy the era of apartheid periods. Same as mongolia vs inner Mongolia. The inner Mongolian are so happy to be under CCP rule if not they will be like their Mongolia brothers, poor and corrupted. ill efficient. Mongolia just have a massive protest 10 months ago against their own government for corruption, and ill competent to tackle the problem of destitute and poor economy of Mongolia.

      They couldn't pretend history did not exist, right?
      Furthermore, some Mongols south of the Gobi stayed with Ming after Yuan was overthrown in 1368.
      Mongols always tend to move south. Mongolian nationalists nowadays prefer to downplay this.

    I wonder how history would have turned out if the Tibetans had not been pacifist but had been warrior monks who fought like Gurkhas.

    What fascinating the most is some random guys trying to justify this brutal occupation. Being a Tibetan and exiled , nothing angered me more than some outsiders flaunting comments on how much the roads and infrastructure have improved in Tibet , completely ignoring the human rights and challenges Tibetans facing both living inside or outside of Tibet . These developments are most likely to happen even if CCP didn’t take the time to brutally killed and destroyed our homes and monasteries in the name of modernisation. I don’t remember learning that our ancestors have made the call for the CCP to come in our rescue . No country’s history is beautiful but that doesn’t give another country the right to intervene.
