Really?
Tibetans are the first to tell you that their old caste system wasnt that good. But it was still better than the genocide and real slavery that Mao and the CCP put Tibet through. Especially if one looks at all the reforms and modernization that the DL was implementing before Chinas rape and pillage started.
But then i personally know scores of and interact almost daily with said people. So my opinion might differ from the CCP version of things.
Dalai Lama shoul say that being human candle is stupid and not OK... But maybe he does not care...
Actually the BAFT and TANC organizations here in California have Chinese members. Let alone all the Chinese that are met at rallies across the country.
Guess what? For the most part, they see eye to eye with the Tibetans.
Very humbling to see someone appologise for something they did not do personally.
Welcome to California. We have EVERY refugee under the sun here. And unlike a good amount of them, the Tibetans actually have something to hold a grudge about. So why discount them?
So you freely admit that Tibet was conquered by Communist China, why should they "integrate" they have a right to self-determination, they do not, nor have they ever seen themselves as a "Province of China."
Tibetans have a "good life" under Chinese occupation Ha! Ha! (maybe their Tibetan Communist lackey's,)
you really are dumber than a bag of hammers if you believe that crap.

You really are dumber than a bag of hammers, by your "logic" we should have peacefully accepted our Nazi Overlords in Europe, and our Japanese Overlords in Asia.
The world has turned quite a bit since then, you seemed to be living under a stone somewhere if you don't
realise that Communist model dictatorships are on the way out.
If you are so fond of Chi-Com style life why not go and live there or in North Korea?

And you know that your former country used to be the Soviet Union? You're certainly the last one to tell others to shut up and integrate as a "province".
My former country used to by Russian former USSR former Russian Empire. And that exactly why i understand what i am talking about. Russia is what it is today because it did conquer it territories. They belong to it and nobody else. Same goes for China. And rest of the world. It just that Russia and China did conquer territories around them fully integrating them into themselves. European powers didnt had such luxury, so they had to conquer countries on other continents and therefore had troubles controlling them, which lead to them losing most, but not all of their foreign territories. So it easy for ones with small territory to talk about this topic, as they dont have anything to lose anymore anyway.
