In 1954, the Qinghai-Tibet and Sichuan-Tibet highways were officially put into service, ending Tibet's reliance on men, horses and ropes to transport goods. More than 3,000 people died during their construction.
@@jimgong205 Yes. The construction project was featured in a Chinese magazine after it was completed and when the Indians read about it they claim that the Chinese was building on Indian territory. To this day the Indians still claim this area, called Aksai Chin, as Indian territory.
Thank you for sharing this video. I am a Tibetan living in Toronto, but I was raised in India in schools where we are brainwashed into hating Chinese and told that Tibetan people live in poverty; after coming to Canada, my eyes were opened, and I understood what is really happening. The Chinese are not evil people, and living standards in Tibet are much better than in India. The Tibetan leaders in exile want to keep exiled people ignorant, and Tibetan leaders and politicians pocket millions of US dollars in aid for their own use and corruption. Please share more videos of Tibet. If Tibetans think my post is fake, I am happy to provide my Shichak, TCV home number etc.
@@tenzinlhamo7248 My Shiicha is Bylakuppe! I've been in Canada for 15 years. Some years ago, everyone in my Shichakr was talking about how one of the welknown politicians and leaders stole 2 or 4 million US dollars. When his His Holiness leanred of this, he never granted him an audience or spoke to him. (Tenzin Lhamo 7248 you know who I am talking about) But the Tibetan people are kept in the dark!
Hope one day you can speak up on the plight of Tibetans in occupied South Tibet. South Tibet was invaded and annexed by India in 1951 and made a state by India in 1987 to become the so-called Arunachal Pradesh.
The Tawang monastery in occupied South Tibet (so-called Arunachal Pradesh) was built by the fifth Dalai Lama. The Sixth Dalai Lama was born in Tawang. These area is now occupied by India since 1951.
And over 70 percent of all infrastructure, business profits loads back to Your Communist Leaders and puppets Bank account .. Wake up Brothers ....Get clean your brain while you have time
Indeed，each province need to provide support to help one area in Tibet to improve the economic and live conditions for decades. China aim is to realize early prosperity help the less fortunate.
Wow that's the opposite to most other nations that spend almost all of their money in the major cities and neglect rural and small towns and even those regions that actually make them the most money...
Poor Michael, it’s quite shame that being in such dramatic place and surrounded by breathtaking scenery while you are physically uncomfortable😭, and I know that feeling, big hug to Michael.
The plateau will choose people. Those who consume a lot of oxygen will suffer. I am a thin person, but I also need time to adapt. Michael is too big, an absolute plateau rejecter, so you rarely see fat people in Tibet.
People just go on and just say oh top of the world high elevation bla bla etc etc...but never give it much tot how difficult it is for the people there and how chinese government have indeed helped local tibetans to improve their daily lives
I'm in Wuhan. Wuhan has a slogan: Wuhan is different every day. It's not just a slogan, Wuhan's traffic, city, business, is getting better and better every day. Except Wuhan people, haha, talk too mean.
25:17 The local village house you had visited, had lunch and milk tea/butter tea which was built by Tibet local government that was funded by Central government in Beijing. Chinese leaders have put a lot of efforts to help Tibet people to out of poverty. Wish you guys could see the truth how does a government spend/invest money on their people' lives, to improve their income and out of poverty, infrastructure and to maintain harmony society with minority and Han people. Chinese people is interested in investing on their people and national development. We Chinese do invest and put resource to our people and our economy development, we love peace environment to develop our country. We are not interested in investing money on direct wars and proxy wars in other countries. Traveling is a good way to open people's vision and to find the truth by their own eyes. God bless you guys :)
This video is better than reading a history book. Raise your hand if you're a visual learner. 👋 Thanks for unveiling the beauty of the Indigenous People of Tibet.
Omg Josie !!! as soon I saw you youtube videos in Tibetan I’ve being watching and now you’re going Gyantse can’t wait to see as I was born there and currently in Sydney. Can’t wait to go back
12 years ago i met a british guy in a bar in Lhasa, and he criticized how morden lhasa is, ccp forced tibetans to change their lifestyle and tries to destroy tibetan culture, tibet has bars, clubs and no difference from other places, no longer pure and peaceful. I asked him “why don’t british live a 18th century lifestyle to keep the tradition and let tibetans travel to london to find a peace for their heart?” Tibetans are also human beings like you westerners not a symbol, who also deserves a modern life! but anyway it’s ccp’s fault, ofc.
Also, he needed to be educated about the fact that "Many foreigners do not know that Tibet was a feudal society before 1951, and the status of serfs was very low. Human skin was used to make drums and "art". Under the leadership and persistence of Mao Zedong, the army eliminated some evil forces and freed millions of serfs, liberating the entire Tibet and starting to build roads, provide poverty relief, and enable people to live freely and happily in the harsh natural environment or choose to migrate. A few years later, like the Dalai Lama, these surviving Tibetan serf lords fled to foreign countries and joined many political enemies who opposed the Communist Party of China, and called for Tibetan independence, as only then could they continue to be their slave lords to oppress and exploit ordinary people." Zhou Yuecheng writes about these atrocities and shares photos on Quora. You can find it if you look up "How do Tibetans living in China feel about the Communist Party of China and its government?"
Yeah, culture is not equal to bad life style. We keep the good thing to people, and remove bad one. The whole thing we working hard is to have a good life. If culture stops us to have a better life, it becomes a chain.
Tibetans people are very kind hearted and peaceful people I'm watching from Nepal i belong to Himalayan regions of Nepal we have a same religion culture stay safe and happy Lasso Tashi Delek ❤🙏🙏🙏 lord Buddha bless to all ☸️
Thank you for the video. I am really happy to see Tibetans in Tibet living their own peaceful lives today. I used to read a book written by a girl who escaped to Europe after the liberation of Tibet, she said she didn't understand why the slaves she used to rescue opened the gates of the city to welcome the liberation army into the city, until I read that she said the girl's parents were serfs at home and were chopped up and fed to the dogs for stealing, and that it was only after her pleas that her parents allowed the girl to live, but that they ended up betraying her by opening the gates of the city to welcome the liberation army. She would not treat the serfs as human beings, nor would she understand the heart of the serfs who longed for human dignity and a peaceful life. As the Tibetan said at the end, may there be peace in the world. May the people be happy.
The liberation of Tibetan by People's Liberation Army of CPC peacefully in the 1950s is the REAL LIBERTY that a government should bring to the oppressed, not the western way of bombing the middle east and Yugoslavia into bits and hypocritically called it "Freedom".
In 1953, before the arrival of the People's Liberation Army, Tibetans were still slaves, the people's Liberation Army defeated the Tibetan aristocrats, the aristocrats' land was distributed to the serfs, the serfs had human rights, have a good life today, and those aristocrats who ran abroad, hate China to the marrow, always want to split Tibet, they will never succeed
More than 20 years ago, I went to Tibet with a backpack when I graduated from college. It took 4 days to get from Beijing to Lhasa by train. There is only one asphalt road from Lhasa to Shigatse in Tibet, and most of the other roads are dirt roads. Even Tibetans living in the suburbs of Lhasa mostly live in tents. Except for highland barley noodles and yak milk products, other food is very scarce in Tibet. Today, Tibet has 9 highways, one high-speed railway and three under construction. The road network can lead to any remote village. 97% of young Tibetans receive modern education that respects local language and traditions. All Tibetan families have their own independent houses. Fresh vegetables and fruits can be eaten in any village in Tibet. The people here have the same right to live a better and happier life as other places.
Attention, especially foreigners, be sure to see this message because it is important for you to understand China, Tibet, and the West's smearing of China and fabrication of false history. First of all, let me tell you the difference between the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China. The Republic of China was a government group mainly composed of warlords and landlords, led by Chiang Kai shek, who is also today's Taiwan. The People's Republic of China, led by workers and farmers, resisted the oppression of warlords, landlords, and evil gentry. In the end, the Republic of China was driven to Taiwan, and workers and farmers achieved victory. The People's Republic of China was founded on October 1, 1949. The Chinese army liberated Xizang in 1951. Why did it liberate Xizang? Because during the Republic of China, Xizang was semi independent under the influence of India and the West. In order to regain Xizang, China must take back Xizang's sovereignty through military action. Note that it is important here: during the Republic of China, the people in Xizang were slaves, so we must be clear about this history. During the Republic of China era, people from Xinjiang were also slaves. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the People's Democratic Revolution was waged against Xizang and Xinjiang. The Communist Party liberated Xizang in Xinjiang, and then the people of Xizang in Xinjiang were freed from the oppression of slave owners. If the CPC had not liberated the people in Xizang in people in Xizang, the Tibetan people in Xinjiang would still be slaves. Many elderly people in Xizang have a head portrait of Mao Zedong. There are also many local folk songs of Xizang in Xinjiang, which are songs of thanking Mao Zedong. Why should we thank Mao Zedong? Because Mao Zedong let the Chinese army liberate Xizang in people in Xizang. The Tibetan people are no longer slaves, but the masters of the country. The PLA and the people in Xizang in Xinjiang built roads together, and distributed land to the people of Xizang in Xinjiang. The people thanked Mao Zedong. In Western media, it is all about smearing and reversing historical facts. The biggest villain is the Kuomintang of the Republic of China. This group of people is a vested interest group that oppresses and enslaves the people. They are warlords, landlords, and evil gentry who have oppressed the Chinese people for generations. It was Mao Zedong who led the Communist Party and saved the Chinese people. Therefore, Mao Zedong is like a bodhisattva and savior in the hearts of the Chinese people. Without Mao Zedong, there would be no Chinese people today. Hope, foreigners, if you are fortunate enough, you must purchase a set of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" on Taobao.This set of books used to be the best-selling book in the world, so be sure to buy both Chinese and English versions because it is convenient for foreigners to read the content clearly. We can better understand the CPC and China's past, and better expose the Western smear on China. Thank you very much for reading it. We look forward to more foreigners coming to China for in-depth investigation and research. Finally, a reminder to foreign friends: Do not believe the rumors and smears about China spread by Western media and certain Chinese media on platforms such as RUclips, Twitter, and Facebook. They are all bad people who have been driven away by the Chinese people, and most of them are descendants of warlords, landlords, and evil gentry.
I'm Chinese American and I appreciate your videos so much. There's still so much I don't know about my culture. Also props to the comments section too. So much knowledge being shared - thank you. 💕
The history of China and Tibet spans thousands of years and involves complex religious transitions and power struggles . Even a Chinese person can only understand a little after spending many years , and their opinions will vary depending on their subjective will . Now Tibet belongs to China , just like America is now the United States , the difference between the two , like in your film , Tibet has its own religion , writing , and beer , and now the Indians in the United States have what , casinos ? If you want to understand Tibet , you should first understand from the serfdom system in Tibet . Before the current government really ruled them , the average Tibetan was not even human。The above comments are not aimed at the blogger couple, their film is objective and impartial. This is my comment on another film before, and the reason for posting this is to hope that you have a simple understanding of Tibet.
there was a sentence in the film saying: safe trip going back to China to the guy met in the coffee shop. Very likely he wont call it going back to China after his trip in Tibet.
Another great job, Josie! Thank you guys for showing us the real China. Would love to visit my homeland very soon. Been in the US for over 40 years. Haven’t gone back yet but will soon now that my kids are bigger and both about to be in college. When we go, we will stay for weeks at a time. Your videos are preparation for us :)
I am in Guizhou and there are a lot of minority groups in our province. I have never been to Tibet. I hope I can have a chance to visit Xinjiang and Tibet and show my colleagues in Germany.
Visited Tibet as a young kid, climbed one of the snow mountains. The air there has a unique smell and your video definitely brings back many good memories. Thank you for sharing
It is said that every herdsman's home in Tibet will spontaneously hang a portrait of Chairman Mao. Have you seen it in herdsmen's homes? Because 90% of Tibetans were serfs before, and it was Chairman Mao who helped them get rid of slavery and obtain land. They respect Chairman Mao.
Yes, the Communist Party liberated the Tibetan serfs and drove out the Tibetan aristocracy, and the Tibetans still enjoy a good welfare policy to this day
Some have changed to Xi Jinping. You can see his portrait hung on the wall at 20:39. I've seen this also on other videos shot in rural Tibetan villages.
Love your message of peace and understanding. I do hope your message is spread far and wide. Doing my part by sharing it on FB and X (formerly Twitter).
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing the life of people in Tibet, which is amazing for even a Chinese like me. They’re a living a way better and colorful life than that I’d expected.
as an asian, if i needed public toilet and i had to choose between seat toilet or squat toilet, i will choose squat. it may look ugly, but actually it is much cleaner. none of body need to touch the toilet which i don't know what kind of person use it before me
What a good sport your Michael was despite his struggles. The commitment he makes to see you happy & to never let anything get in the way of new experiences is admirable. Your vlogs are top tier too gf! Loving the series
Tq for sharing this magical journey. Tibet is truly a fascinating place. You can feel the sincererity & warmth of the Tibetians. Heartfelt to see modern development reaching even romote areas. No one left behind is the mantra of a caring society.
Even for a Chinese this is an eye-opening travel vlog. Most Chinese people have never thought of exploring a sacred place so deeply. Your videos are really amazing! Amazing places, Amazing video, Amazing vlogger!
@@violetviolet888 I checked some of her videos, but can't find places that is forbidden for foreigners. There must be not much and buried in so many of her videos. Agree there must be some places that are not allowed for foreigners. They are either close to military facilities, or quite close to borders that is in international disputed area. Basically, these kind of places are usually restricted to other Chinese, except for locals, also.
I won't ask you to tell the history of Tibet to a worldwide audience, your videos have shown many people the real and beautiful Tibet, thank you. The two photos hanging in the hall of the family you visited show our leaders through the ages on the left and the current leaders on the right. It's not quite comprehensible to foreigners, just as it's impossible for Americans to hang photos of both Biden and Trump in their homes. But I hope that foreigners who are interested in China, in our beautiful Tibetan region, can learn a little bit about the history of Tibet if you have the time. It was once out of the control of the central government during the century or so of turmoil in our country, and the British got greedy for the place and used the local aristocracy to cooperate with their goal of dividing control of the place. Before it was returned, before it was liberated, 99% of the ordinary people in the area lived in conditions worse than cows and goats, and lived a hellish life all their lives, where girls would be used by the aristocrats or lamas as a means of releasing their sexual desires, and boys would be expected to do all sorts of heavy manual work. Even after their death, their skin, skulls and other human organs would be used to make all kinds of religious instruments or so-called "works of art". This is why the local people have a high degree of acceptance of the State, because without the Communist Party, they would not have a happy life today, nor would they have dignity and equal rights.
Let me use to opportunity to bring awareness to the oppression of Tibetans. No, I am not talking about the Tibetans in China. I am talking about Tibetans in occupied South Tibet, which was annexed by India in 1951 and made a state by India in 1987 to become the so-called Arunachal Pradesh. The Tibetans in occupied South Tibet are fast becoming strangers in their own native homeland because the Indian government are settling Indians in the region to change the demographic structure of the region. The Indians like to mock them, calling them Chinese as a form of insult (sometime calling them names such as the C* word or the M* word.) Rape by Indians in occupied South Tibet is a major source of resentment of the locals to the Indian occupiers. Another thing is that India simply don't trust the locals and like to accuse them of being Chinese spy if they don't display enough loyalty to the Indian occupier. This area is tightly controlled by India with limited access to the outside world. In 2014 a Tibetan Chinese called Nido Tania went to Delhi and was beaten to death because he looked 'Chinese'. He case was hardly an isolated one. The Tibetans in occupied South Tibet are voiceless people because they are not the right kind of Tibetans, so their plight is ignored by the world at large. I have yet to hear from the Western media of any concern of human rights abuse of the Tibetans in occupied South Tibet by India. Free South Tibet from India.
Not gonna lie - booked my trip to Tibet because of your video and I’m Chinese. Also squat toilet guide - roll your pants down to your knees and hold the middle, do a squat meanwhile if that makes sense :) all the best for your trips!
8:51. User guide for squat toilets. Place your feet shoulders wide apart. Unbuckle your belt and roll down your pants (plus undergarment) halfway down to knee level. Gently lower the body into a squat position. Relax and release.
Thank you for sharing this breathtaking beautiful place🥰 I feel fortunate to get an up close view thanks to you Josie, you’re a great content creator…I look forward to seeing more🙏 Take good care and have a blessed week🙏♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️🙏
Wonderful video! - this trip to Tibet is truly special. I don't think I've seen any other travel youtubers visiting. Just wondering if you've ever thought about collabing with Blondie in China (Amy)? She's a fellow Aussie and could probably show you some cool places in China, whenever you want to visit in the future. Anyways, I hope you continue to have many more meaningful travels, and that Michael feels better 😭
Thank you so much,I can see your genuine interest and love towards tibet and its nature.I got so emotional seeing my own country on screen and never been in real.
Chinese people think that using a toilet in a public restroom is unhygienic, and they prefer to use a squat toilet. If this problem does not exist at home, it can be considered a cultural shock. I believe you can overcome it.🤣
@@leealex3320 it is not physiological, if you do that as a kid you keep the flexibility, trying to sit like that after you are adult can be unconfortable
Josie, love your personality and open-mindedness! So glad you are able to enjoy the trip fully. Feel sorry for Michael. Hope Michael recovers soon. Keep your good work. Looking forward for more great content.
I wish I could share photos Of my dog (Archie) reacting to the yaks! 😂 Michael, I have asthma and I’m feeling you so much, not being able to breathe properly is the worst, Most indescribable feeling. My whole family is feeling for you, it’s a whole conversation right now! We love you x Squat toilet, when I was 11 (a million years ago) and went to Japan , I was wearing a whole ski outfit and had to go, the toilet was a squat toilet… it was a whole event and I’m still getting over it 😂 I now have an 11 yr old and we were in Phuket recently and she had to go (the big Buddha) and refused to use the squat toilet, thankfully we found a western one!
Wow, thanks so much for sharing your amazing video! I'm sure it takes a lot of courage to venture into Tibet, especially for those from inland China who may have never had the chance due to high altitude sickness. Your excellent guide did an fantastic job of taking us on this journey and showing us the beauty of Tibet. Thank you again for your incredible content!
I'm a Tibetan was born in Nyingchi Tibet, moved to Chengdu with my parents when i was 3. Now ive been living in Straya for decade, must say its actually touching when I see Aussie lady and bloke go to my motherland and enjoy butter tea stuffs there. such a honer and bless we can share the world and experience each others cultures isnt it. been sub this channel quite a while, glad to see ya guys gain the followers this quick almost reaching 1 mils. good on ya mate keep it up. བཀྲ་ཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས god bless ya guys

that guy probably just wanted a pen pal ... i live in a rural area, and I like having contacts. and I always want contacts in different countries, if I can find one.
Hi, I'm here again! The high altitude is really unfriendly to the burly men, but there is nothing shameful about breathing oxygen. It is a rule here that drivers breathe oxygen while driving, because even native Tibetans may not be 100% immune to altitude sickness. The terrible distance in Tibet means that once a dangerous situation occurs, calling for rescue is so unreliable. The driver is the safety guarantee of the whole car, and he is not allowed to be in danger. At least the government requires all precautions to be done. As for tourists, they usually fulfill their obligation to inform, but whether to buy commercial oxygen cylinders is the freedom of each tourist, and no intervention is given. After all, if I remember correctly, an oxygen tank the size of an insecticide costs about 200 yuan, which is not cheap. As for toilets, I want to say that what you have encountered is much better than what I had at that time. The damn government always gives priority to satisfying foreigners (just a joke). In addition to Western and Chinese toilets, there is also a kind of toilet called dry toilet in our country. This kind of toilet is the most primitive and only exists in backward or difficult places. Believe me, if you have tried that, the squatting Chinese toilet, you will find it very pleasing to the eye. And usually public places in our country are not like Europe, where you have to pay to use them, but Tibet is an exception. You should be able to feel it in the local area. They still live in difficulty and the economy is backward, so at least for me, I can understand it. Speaking of economy, there is no industry in the entire Tibet Autonomous Region. They still rely on natural resources to obtain economic value, such as those cows for tourists to take pictures, including those cows you see on the road. Most of them are not wild, but the property of Tibetans. If you accidentally hit a cow or sheep while driving in Tibet, according to my tour guide, you have to pay 10,000 RMB in compensation. This is the economic pillar of the herdsmen, and you have just destroyed it. In addition, visiting Tibetan families is actually part of the tourism industry. To be honest, this is mixed with some elements of the Communist Party's external propaganda. But if you communicate with Tibetans, you will know that they used to live on mountains with an altitude of 6,000+. They made a living by digging precious Chinese medicinal herbs in the mountains, which is obviously very dangerous. In order to invite them down from the mountains, the government built a new village for them on the flat land at the foot of the mountain, and received tourists to visit and understand the lives of Tibetans, replacing the previous high-risk digging of herbs as a new source of income. PS: I went there around 2020. Because of COVID-19, I enjoyed almost free super super low-priced air tickets to fulfill my wish to visit Tibet. At that time, hotels in Tibet were still at a primitive level. Even the hotels under Huazhu Club were only the most basic economy hotels. In comparison, your hotel is too luxurious. I am very happy that Tibet has achieved such development, but for some reason, it seems that your itinerary did not visit the Linzhi area, which is known as the Jiangnan on the plateau and is famous for its sea of forests. It is often arranged as the first stop into Tibet to better adapt to the high altitude of Tibet. If you went there first, the big strong man might not be as painful as he is now, hahaha.
Well written experience. I believe Nyingchi (you wrote Linzhi) is only at about 1000m. It doesn't provide much climatization for a sea level person to go up much higher. But Michael would have no high altitude sickness and enjoy the region much more. The best route is from Xining Qihai which is already at about 3000m. Stay there for a week and then go up to Lhasa.
The high-altitude sickness is not only because of low oxygen in the air, but also because of low atmosphere pressure which makes oxygen in your body evaporate much faster. Breathing out of oxygen tank can’t totally relieve the symptoms. A pressure pod equipped with oxygen supply will do. I hope someone can invent movable pressure pods for tourists. We may become walking laughing stocks for Tibetans, but at least we get to enjoy the scenery.
Such a wonderful video. So envy of you guys. Not everyone is able to travel to Tibet. Really appreciate your hard work. Thank you for the video. Hope to see more soon.❤
I know you guys must have shot the weeks ago, but I really hope Michael is doing well now. It absolutely sucks that he went through that. Lovely videos from Tibet Josie!
Why do the Tibetan people worship the Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army, because the Communist Party brings them a new life, and they really have freedom rather than slavery and martyrdom. The People's Liberation Army has built a better Tibet for them, facilitated the lives of Tibetans, and also protected their peace.
..or the fact that the ccp hangs over their life in exchange of being compliant. The simple thing is, if you are not Tibetan, then don’t claim you know anything because you haven’t gone through shit, respect fully. There are millions of Tibetans living in exile who hear life stories from their grand parents about how life was under Chinas rule. Please seek out real refugee stories on Voice of Tibet.
Don't know any Tibetan but the president Xi picture hanging on the wall of the last Tibetan family tells a lot. I guess they are real Tibetan?@@TT-be8qq
I think some commons can explain why foreigners should be restricted from free entering Tibet . There are so few tourists like josie, and so many people try to provoke political conflicts. Although I can feel Josie has her own political views that are not consistent with those of the chinese government even opposite sometimes, she treat people friendly and respectfully. I think such foreign travelers are welcomed to China, at least I really like Josie. Everyone has their own political views, it's unnecessary to force them concensus. The most important thing is the peace,kindness and friendliness.
Thank you Josie and Michael for sharing this wonderful trip, even as a local Chinese I have not been to this place before because of the fear of altitude😂😂 Michael did a great job! Love from Hong Kong 🎉🎉🎉
To all the people leaving mean & hateful comments towards Michael & calling him overdramatic, behave yourself, you wouldn't liked it if you experienced the same struggle as he does (which i hope no one does) so you have no right to say that he is exaggerating or that he needs to man up & stop acting, i can't believe people can be this mean is beyond me, all the love & best wishes from me to Josie & Michael, get well soon & safe trip guys~
I am Chinese😢and i think it is not strange that michael is sick. I find it hard to believe that jossie is not sick?! Wait what? Not even in 4000km height? Impossible!
The Dalai Lama already understands the real Tibet today. He has not too long ago, advocated for the continued development of Tibet under the Chinese Government. The old man's eyes are starting to open but some younger eyes in the West continue to remain shut tight and dream dreams of "Shangri-la"..
Those who support the Dali Lama don't know the truth. "First of all, you need to know who the Tibetans are leaving Tibet. They were former Tibetan monks and landlords, or, to put it more accurately, slave owners. Aristocrats, monks, landlords and slave owners, who account for less than 5% of the population, have long occupied a large area of land and population in Tibet.The remaining 95% of the population is divided into three classes,差巴(serf)、堆穷(serf who had go bankrupt) and 朗生(slave).The local code of Tibet clearly stipulates that people's legal status is unequal. For example, some rules stipulate that the price of the life of the superior, such as princes and living Buddhas, is gold equal to the weight of the corpse, while the price of the life of the inferior, such as women, butchers and craftsmen, is a straw rope. The serfs who were punished by Tibetan monks, cut off their legs, arms and eyes.It's like what the western colonists did to the black people. Tibet has invented some works of art made of serfs and slaves.Paintings and drums made from the skin of carefully selected female slaves-The crimes of Tibetan lamas that you can't find on Google. Many of the magic weapons needed by the Dalai Lama for religious activities are made of slaves. In order to celebrate the 13th Dalai Lama's birthday, the local government needs wet intestines, two human skins, two skulls and fresh blood. " Zhou Yuecheng writes about these atrocities and shares photos on Quora. You can find it if you look up "How do Tibetans living in China feel about the Communist Party of China and its government?"
you see, when you ask a minority Chinese from far far away, the person may not be rich or with a college degree, but all with a sincere heart and blessing wishes to the world.

Hope one day you can speak up on the plight of Tibetans in occupied South Tibet. South Tibet was invaded and annexed by India in 1951 and made a state by India in 1987 to become the so-called Arunachal Pradesh.
The Tawang monastery in occupied South Tibet (so-called Arunachal Pradesh) was built by the fifth Dalai Lama. The Sixth Dalai Lama was born in Tawang. These area is now occupied by India since 1951.
那是美国和印度一直在利用达赖喇嘛，制造分裂和人权问题，这是他们擅长的领域！

Indeed，each province need to provide support to help one area in Tibet to improve the economic and live conditions for decades. China aim is to realize early prosperity help the less fortunate.

Poor Michael, it’s quite shame that being in such dramatic place and surrounded by breathtaking scenery while you are physically uncomfortable😭, and I know that feeling, big hug to Michael.
the Tibet will be not friendly to Aged, Over Weighed, Male. He has 2 out of 3, so he'd better seriously be carefully there.
The plateau will choose people. Those who consume a lot of oxygen will suffer. I am a thin person, but I also need time to adapt. Michael is too big, an absolute plateau rejecter, so you rarely see fat people in Tibet.
They should stay in Linzhi for a while before going to higher altitude areas, so the high reaction will be much less.
I’m not sure why he even went…. I don’t feel bad.

12 years ago i met a british guy in a bar in Lhasa, and he criticized how morden lhasa is, ccp forced tibetans to change their lifestyle and tries to destroy tibetan culture, tibet has bars, clubs and no difference from other places, no longer pure and peaceful. I asked him “why don’t british live a 18th century lifestyle to keep the tradition and let tibetans travel to london to find a peace for their heart?” Tibetans are also human beings like you westerners not a symbol, who also deserves a modern life! but anyway it’s ccp’s fault, ofc.
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈 反击的好
Also, he needed to be educated about the fact that "Many foreigners do not know that Tibet was a feudal society before 1951, and the status of serfs was very low. Human skin was used to make drums and "art". Under the leadership and persistence of Mao Zedong, the army eliminated some evil forces and freed millions of serfs, liberating the entire Tibet and starting to build roads, provide poverty relief, and enable people to live freely and happily in the harsh natural environment or choose to migrate. A few years later, like the Dalai Lama, these surviving Tibetan serf lords fled to foreign countries and joined many political enemies who opposed the Communist Party of China, and called for Tibetan independence, as only then could they continue to be their slave lords to oppress and exploit ordinary people." Zhou Yuecheng writes about these atrocities and shares photos on Quora. You can find it if you look up "How do Tibetans living in China feel about the Communist Party of China and its government?"

Thank you for the video. I am really happy to see Tibetans in Tibet living their own peaceful lives today. I used to read a book written by a girl who escaped to Europe after the liberation of Tibet, she said she didn't understand why the slaves she used to rescue opened the gates of the city to welcome the liberation army into the city, until I read that she said the girl's parents were serfs at home and were chopped up and fed to the dogs for stealing, and that it was only after her pleas that her parents allowed the girl to live, but that they ended up betraying her by opening the gates of the city to welcome the liberation army. She would not treat the serfs as human beings, nor would she understand the heart of the serfs who longed for human dignity and a peaceful life. As the Tibetan said at the end, may there be peace in the world. May the people be happy.
想逃出去都是奴隶主
The liberation of Tibetan by People's Liberation Army of CPC peacefully in the 1950s is the REAL LIBERTY that a government should bring to the oppressed, not the western way of bombing the middle east and Yugoslavia into bits and hypocritically called it "Freedom".
In 1953, before the arrival of the People's Liberation Army, Tibetans were still slaves, the people's Liberation Army defeated the Tibetan aristocrats, the aristocrats' land was distributed to the serfs, the serfs had human rights, have a good life today, and those aristocrats who ran abroad, hate China to the marrow, always want to split Tibet, they will never succeed
Human skin, bones and skulls were the specialties of Tibet before liberation. Stripped from living serfs.
tibetan at the end of tie video was referring to the wars in Ukr and palestine, that is why he wants to pray for world peace.
More than 20 years ago, I went to Tibet with a backpack when I graduated from college. It took 4 days to get from Beijing to Lhasa by train. There is only one asphalt road from Lhasa to Shigatse in Tibet, and most of the other roads are dirt roads. Even Tibetans living in the suburbs of Lhasa mostly live in tents. Except for highland barley noodles and yak milk products, other food is very scarce in Tibet. Today, Tibet has 9 highways, one high-speed railway and three under construction. The road network can lead to any remote village. 97% of young Tibetans receive modern education that respects local language and traditions. All Tibetan families have their own independent houses. Fresh vegetables and fruits can be eaten in any village in Tibet. The people here have the same right to live a better and happier life as other places.
Attention, especially foreigners, be sure to see this message because it is important for you to understand China, Tibet, and the West's smearing of China and fabrication of false history. First of all, let me tell you the difference between the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China. The Republic of China was a government group mainly composed of warlords and landlords, led by Chiang Kai shek, who is also today's Taiwan. The People's Republic of China, led by workers and farmers, resisted the oppression of warlords, landlords, and evil gentry. In the end, the Republic of China was driven to Taiwan, and workers and farmers achieved victory. The People's Republic of China was founded on October 1, 1949. The Chinese army liberated Xizang in 1951. Why did it liberate Xizang? Because during the Republic of China, Xizang was semi independent under the influence of India and the West. In order to regain Xizang, China must take back Xizang's sovereignty through military action. Note that it is important here: during the Republic of China, the people in Xizang were slaves, so we must be clear about this history. During the Republic of China era, people from Xinjiang were also slaves. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the People's Democratic Revolution was waged against Xizang and Xinjiang. The Communist Party liberated Xizang in Xinjiang, and then the people of Xizang in Xinjiang were freed from the oppression of slave owners. If the CPC had not liberated the people in Xizang in people in Xizang, the Tibetan people in Xinjiang would still be slaves. Many elderly people in Xizang have a head portrait of Mao Zedong. There are also many local folk songs of Xizang in Xinjiang, which are songs of thanking Mao Zedong. Why should we thank Mao Zedong? Because Mao Zedong let the Chinese army liberate Xizang in people in Xizang. The Tibetan people are no longer slaves, but the masters of the country. The PLA and the people in Xizang in Xinjiang built roads together, and distributed land to the people of Xizang in Xinjiang. The people thanked Mao Zedong. In Western media, it is all about smearing and reversing historical facts. The biggest villain is the Kuomintang of the Republic of China. This group of people is a vested interest group that oppresses and enslaves the people. They are warlords, landlords, and evil gentry who have oppressed the Chinese people for generations. It was Mao Zedong who led the Communist Party and saved the Chinese people. Therefore, Mao Zedong is like a bodhisattva and savior in the hearts of the Chinese people. Without Mao Zedong, there would be no Chinese people today. Hope, foreigners, if you are fortunate enough, you must purchase a set of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" on Taobao.This set of books used to be the best-selling book in the world, so be sure to buy both Chinese and English versions because it is convenient for foreigners to read the content clearly. We can better understand the CPC and China's past, and better expose the Western smear on China. Thank you very much for reading it. We look forward to more foreigners coming to China for in-depth investigation and research. Finally, a reminder to foreign friends: Do not believe the rumors and smears about China spread by Western media and certain Chinese media on platforms such as RUclips, Twitter, and Facebook. They are all bad people who have been driven away by the Chinese people, and most of them are descendants of warlords, landlords, and evil gentry.

The history of China and Tibet spans thousands of years and involves complex religious transitions and power struggles . Even a Chinese person can only understand a little after spending many years , and their opinions will vary depending on their subjective will . Now Tibet belongs to China , just like America is now the United States , the difference between the two , like in your film , Tibet has its own religion , writing , and beer , and now the Indians in the United States have what , casinos ? If you want to understand Tibet , you should first understand from the serfdom system in Tibet . Before the current government really ruled them , the average Tibetan was not even human。The above comments are not aimed at the blogger couple, their film is objective and impartial. This is my comment on another film before, and the reason for posting this is to hope that you have a simple understanding of Tibet.
Great comment, well said.
there was a sentence in the film saying: safe trip going back to China to the guy met in the coffee shop. Very likely he wont call it going back to China after his trip in Tibet.

It is said that every herdsman's home in Tibet will spontaneously hang a portrait of Chairman Mao. Have you seen it in herdsmen's homes? Because 90% of Tibetans were serfs before, and it was Chairman Mao who helped them get rid of slavery and obtain land. They respect Chairman Mao.
Yes, the Communist Party liberated the Tibetan serfs and drove out the Tibetan aristocracy, and the Tibetans still enjoy a good welfare policy to this day

I won't ask you to tell the history of Tibet to a worldwide audience, your videos have shown many people the real and beautiful Tibet, thank you.
The two photos hanging in the hall of the family you visited show our leaders through the ages on the left and the current leaders on the right.
It's not quite comprehensible to foreigners, just as it's impossible for Americans to hang photos of both Biden and Trump in their homes.
But I hope that foreigners who are interested in China, in our beautiful Tibetan region, can learn a little bit about the history of Tibet if you have the time.
It was once out of the control of the central government during the century or so of turmoil in our country, and the British got greedy for the place and used the local aristocracy to cooperate with their goal of dividing control of the place.
Before it was returned, before it was liberated, 99% of the ordinary people in the area lived in conditions worse than cows and goats, and lived a hellish life all their lives, where girls would be used by the aristocrats or lamas as a means of releasing their sexual desires, and boys would be expected to do all sorts of heavy manual work.
Even after their death, their skin, skulls and other human organs would be used to make all kinds of religious instruments or so-called "works of art".
This is why the local people have a high degree of acceptance of the State, because without the Communist Party, they would not have a happy life today, nor would they have dignity and equal rights.
Let me use to opportunity to bring awareness to the oppression of Tibetans. No, I am not talking about the Tibetans in China. I am talking about Tibetans in occupied South Tibet, which was annexed by India in 1951 and made a state by India in 1987 to become the so-called Arunachal Pradesh. The Tibetans in occupied South Tibet are fast becoming strangers in their own native homeland because the Indian government are settling Indians in the region to change the demographic structure of the region. The Indians like to mock them, calling them Chinese as a form of insult (sometime calling them names such as the C* word or the M* word.) Rape by Indians in occupied South Tibet is a major source of resentment of the locals to the Indian occupiers. Another thing is that India simply don't trust the locals and like to accuse them of being Chinese spy if they don't display enough loyalty to the Indian occupier. This area is tightly controlled by India with limited access to the outside world. In 2014 a Tibetan Chinese called Nido Tania went to Delhi and was beaten to death because he looked 'Chinese'. He case was hardly an isolated one. The Tibetans in occupied South Tibet are voiceless people because they are not the right kind of Tibetans, so their plight is ignored by the world at large. I have yet to hear from the Western media of any concern of human rights abuse of the Tibetans in occupied South Tibet by India. Free South Tibet from India.
印度穆斯林的人权问题也很严重，但是美国需要印度来制衡中国，这些事实不会被主流媒体报道。

My whole family is feeling for you, it’s a whole conversation right now! We love you x
Squat toilet, when I was 11 (a million years ago) and went to Japan , I was wearing a whole ski outfit and had to go, the toilet was a squat toilet… it was a whole event and I’m still getting over it 😂 I now have an 11 yr old and we were in Phuket recently and she had to go (the big Buddha) and refused to use the squat toilet, thankfully we found a western one!
我很奇怪，要是在野外露营，没有马桶的情况下，如何解决排泄问题😂
Tibetan language is everywhere.I believe CCP has protected Tibetan culture.
CPC is the correct acroynm
We have a CCP's 50 cent troll here.

Wow, This Video Is Definitely Amazing ! Thank you couple, enjoy and keep safe. 👍
Wow, thanks so much for sharing your amazing video! I'm sure it takes a lot of courage to venture into Tibet, especially for those from inland China who may have never had the chance due to high altitude sickness. Your excellent guide did an fantastic job of taking us on this journey and showing us the beauty of Tibet. Thank you again for your incredible content!
Amazing. I admire your efforts. You deserve more fans
Thank you for taking us with you on the amazing tour! I'm lucky to see all the beautiful views and people

that guy probably just wanted a pen pal ... i live in a rural area, and I like having contacts.
and I always want contacts in different countries, if I can find one.
Hi, I'm here again!
The high altitude is really unfriendly to the burly men, but there is nothing shameful about breathing oxygen. It is a rule here that drivers breathe oxygen while driving, because even native Tibetans may not be 100% immune to altitude sickness. The terrible distance in Tibet means that once a dangerous situation occurs, calling for rescue is so unreliable. The driver is the safety guarantee of the whole car, and he is not allowed to be in danger. At least the government requires all precautions to be done. As for tourists, they usually fulfill their obligation to inform, but whether to buy commercial oxygen cylinders is the freedom of each tourist, and no intervention is given. After all, if I remember correctly, an oxygen tank the size of an insecticide costs about 200 yuan, which is not cheap.
As for toilets, I want to say that what you have encountered is much better than what I had at that time. The damn government always gives priority to satisfying foreigners (just a joke). In addition to Western and Chinese toilets, there is also a kind of toilet called dry toilet in our country. This kind of toilet is the most primitive and only exists in backward or difficult places. Believe me, if you have tried that, the squatting Chinese toilet, you will find it very pleasing to the eye. And usually public places in our country are not like Europe, where you have to pay to use them, but Tibet is an exception. You should be able to feel it in the local area. They still live in difficulty and the economy is backward, so at least for me, I can understand it. Speaking of economy, there is no industry in the entire Tibet Autonomous Region. They still rely on natural resources to obtain economic value, such as those cows for tourists to take pictures, including those cows you see on the road. Most of them are not wild, but the property of Tibetans. If you accidentally hit a cow or sheep while driving in Tibet, according to my tour guide, you have to pay 10,000 RMB in compensation. This is the economic pillar of the herdsmen, and you have just destroyed it. In addition, visiting Tibetan families is actually part of the tourism industry. To be honest, this is mixed with some elements of the Communist Party's external propaganda. But if you communicate with Tibetans, you will know that they used to live on mountains with an altitude of 6,000+. They made a living by digging precious Chinese medicinal herbs in the mountains, which is obviously very dangerous. In order to invite them down from the mountains, the government built a new village for them on the flat land at the foot of the mountain, and received tourists to visit and understand the lives of Tibetans, replacing the previous high-risk digging of herbs as a new source of income.
PS: I went there around 2020. Because of COVID-19, I enjoyed almost free super super low-priced air tickets to fulfill my wish to visit Tibet. At that time, hotels in Tibet were still at a primitive level. Even the hotels under Huazhu Club were only the most basic economy hotels. In comparison, your hotel is too luxurious. I am very happy that Tibet has achieved such development, but for some reason, it seems that your itinerary did not visit the Linzhi area, which is known as the Jiangnan on the plateau and is famous for its sea of forests. It is often arranged as the first stop into Tibet to better adapt to the high altitude of Tibet. If you went there first, the big strong man might not be as painful as he is now, hahaha.

Well written experience. I believe Nyingchi (you wrote Linzhi) is only at about 1000m. It doesn't provide much climatization for a sea level person to go up much higher. But Michael would have no high altitude sickness and enjoy the region much more. The best route is from Xining Qihai which is already at about 3000m. Stay there for a week and then go up to Lhasa.
纠正下氧气罐药店里买一个只要15元人民币。
还有我，虽然去过云南和四川的高原，还没有敢去西藏。怕高反。
6000+米太夸张了，哪里没有人居住的。绝大部分居住在4000米以下，只有林芝地区人比较多一点，但那里的草场确实比较好。
The high-altitude sickness is not only because of low oxygen in the air, but also because of low atmosphere pressure which makes oxygen in your body evaporate much faster. Breathing out of oxygen tank can’t totally relieve the symptoms. A pressure pod equipped with oxygen supply will do. I hope someone can invent movable pressure pods for tourists. We may become walking laughing stocks for Tibetans, but at least we get to enjoy the scenery.
Such a wonderful video. So envy of you guys. Not everyone is able to travel to Tibet. Really appreciate your hard work. Thank you for the video. Hope to see more soon.❤
Fantastic video Josie, you are so natural and genuine. ❤
Thank you so very much 🥹🥹☺️
I know you guys must have shot the weeks ago, but I really hope Michael is doing well now. It absolutely sucks that he went through that.
Lovely videos from Tibet Josie!
Why do the Tibetan people worship the Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army, because the Communist Party brings them a new life, and they really have freedom rather than slavery and martyrdom. The People's Liberation Army has built a better Tibet for them, facilitated the lives of Tibetans, and also protected their peace.
..or the fact that the ccp hangs over their life in exchange of being compliant. The simple thing is, if you are not Tibetan, then don’t claim you know anything because you haven’t gone through shit, respect fully. There are millions of Tibetans living in exile who hear life stories from their grand parents about how life was under Chinas rule. Please seek out real refugee stories on Voice of Tibet.
Don't know any Tibetan but the president Xi picture hanging on the wall of the last Tibetan family tells a lot. I guess they are real Tibetan?@@TT-be8qq

Thank you for sharing about Tibet, this mysterious land. It is a beautiful and enigmatic place. And wish you a pleasant journey.🎉🎉
Such a trip will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. I had the same experience. It's the best thing in life. World peace, bless you.
Thank you for being their and bringing awareness of our Tibet🙏🏻💕
Thank you, welcome to China, enjoy your trip, greetings from Hong Kong
I enjoyed your video a lot and thank you so much for showing Tibet ❤
I think some commons can explain why foreigners should be restricted from free entering Tibet . There are so few tourists like josie, and so many people try to provoke political conflicts.
Although I can feel Josie has her own political views that are not consistent with those of the chinese government even opposite sometimes, she treat people friendly and respectfully. I think such foreign travelers are welcomed to China, at least I really like Josie.
Everyone has their own political views, it's unnecessary to force them concensus. The most important thing is the peace,kindness and friendliness.
Thank you Josie and Michael for sharing this wonderful trip, even as a local Chinese I have not been to this place before because of the fear of altitude😂😂 Michael did a great job! Love from Hong Kong 🎉🎉🎉
To all the people leaving mean & hateful comments towards Michael & calling him overdramatic, behave yourself, you wouldn't liked it if you experienced the same struggle as he does (which i hope no one does) so you have no right to say that he is exaggerating or that he needs to man up & stop acting, i can't believe people can be this mean is beyond me, all the love & best wishes from me to Josie & Michael, get well soon & safe trip guys~
Agree
I am Chinese😢and i think it is not strange that michael is sick. I find it hard to believe that jossie is not sick?! Wait what? Not even in 4000km height? Impossible!
@@aaronasukausada0000 She took Chinese Medicine for the purpose of not getting altitude sickness. You can see this in previous videos.

The Dalai Lama already understands the real Tibet today. He has not too long ago, advocated for the continued development of Tibet under the Chinese Government. The old man's eyes are starting to open but some younger eyes in the West continue to remain shut tight and dream dreams of "Shangri-la"..
Those who support the Dali Lama don't know the truth. "First of all, you need to know who the Tibetans are leaving Tibet. They were former Tibetan monks and landlords, or, to put it more accurately, slave owners.
Aristocrats, monks, landlords and slave owners, who account for less than 5% of the population, have long occupied a large area of land and population in Tibet.The remaining 95% of the population is divided into three classes,差巴(serf)、堆穷(serf who had go bankrupt) and 朗生(slave).The local code of Tibet clearly stipulates that people's legal status is unequal. For example, some rules stipulate that the price of the life of the superior, such as princes and living Buddhas, is gold equal to the weight of the corpse, while the price of the life of the inferior, such as women, butchers and craftsmen, is a straw rope.
The serfs who were punished by Tibetan monks, cut off their legs, arms and eyes.It's like what the western colonists did to the black people. Tibet has invented some works of art made of serfs and slaves.Paintings and drums made from the skin of carefully selected female slaves-The crimes of Tibetan lamas that you can't find on Google.
Many of the magic weapons needed by the Dalai Lama for religious activities are made of slaves. In order to celebrate the 13th Dalai Lama's birthday, the local government needs wet intestines, two human skins, two skulls and fresh blood. "
Zhou Yuecheng writes about these atrocities and shares photos on Quora. You can find it if you look up "How do Tibetans living in China feel about the Communist Party of China and its government?"
you see, when you ask a minority Chinese from far far away, the person may not be rich or with a college degree, but all with a sincere heart and blessing wishes to the world.
