All this Free Tibet nonsense is pathetic. If you want to free Tibet so badly then go fight the Chinese on the field of battle and prove your Legitimacy by winning. If you Win you are Right, if you Lose you are Wrong. Simple as that. This is not a matter of debate, it is fact, if you are strong, powerful and win like the Chinese do then you are Legitamite and Right. If you get your ass kicked and cannot win, then you are wrong, like the Free Tibet Idiots are. End of Discussion.
Are you serious? The amount of money put into military power doesn't at all correlate to the righteousness of the country or the quality of life in the country. Tibet is a small, pious nation with a very small military. You can't honestly think that any country with a military that couldn't stand up to a superpower is "worse" than the country with a larger military? That's not at all true, you dope. If the United Kingdom were to invade Ireland, and Ireland, being the smaller power(1/2)
obviously wouldn't win in a direct military confrontation. So does that mean that Ireland is "wrong"? The China vs. Tibet issue is one where China is essentially bullying Tibet. How the fuck is a country as small as Tibet going to just fight back directly? What they are trying to do is gain a diplomatic victory by promoting positive propaganda to get people to understand their plight. Please, if you're going to be a barbaric moron, at least don't vote.
@hackerhell900 That's Tibet's fault if they are too weak to claim independence. You're blaming China for being too powerful? What a bloody joke. Legitimacy is not some free handout that is given to you, it must be earned. You think the Chinese work any less hard to maintain their legitimacy? The Chinese own Tibet because they are stronger, smarter, wealthier and more powerful, that makes them legitimate. You don't get legitimacy by crying and shedding tears, you fight, win it and thus earn it.
I am Chinese, and my best friends in elementary school was a black, Tibetan, and Japanese. =-) My best friends today are Korean and Vietnamese, yet it seems Tibetans, Japanese, Koreans, and Vietnamese all supposely "hate" Chinese on the internet. I found that to be opposite in real life.

@forgottenmemories63 Actually system in China has nothing to do with real communism... Its economical system is 100% pure capitalism, people get no good healthcare or education for free, so really it has none of things that belong to communism.
If you want see system that really is nearest original idea of communism look at Cuba. Although they are poor they still have very good free healthcare and education for everyone, and same life expectancy that USA has. Not bad at all like China.
Everyone! Do you want to know the obvious reason why China does not want to leg go of Tibet?
It's a basic military defensive stratigy. By now you should realized that the United States was funding the Tibetans. If that doesn't ring the bell. How about this?

@HumanRightsVideosT I've lived in China for most of my life, but it was alright. But really, they aren't as bad as how, lets say, CNN, FOX, and other American mainstream media portrays.
I suppose the rights and freedoms you're taking about is the freedom to protest, critisize the government, and other doings that are sensitive to the CCP. Don't forget, no government is perfect (e.g. Chinese government is cruel in some ways, the US government is aimless and foolish in some ways).
@HumanRightsVideosT They would say bad about the Chinese government, or even China, that's for sure. But do you ever look at most of the Chinese, not just that small pocket who were tortured, exiled, and had other negative influences from the CCP?
@HumanRightsVideosT (edit) Seriously? You don't know of Nazi Germany? North Korea is one example, also there are countries in the Middle East that are corrupted, in fact much more corrupted than the CG.

I doubt that yanks could do anything worse than Chinese government is doing to Tibet now.
Tibet will never surrender to the brutality of PRC. The rest of the world will unite more and more and clearly stand against PRC at all cost. There is absolutely nothing in this universe that prevents Tibet, Inner Mongolia and East Turkestan from becoming free, prosperous and independent nations. PRC and its people will soon be held as war criminals for their endless genocides and crimes against the humanity.
The experimental zone, which covers 21 counties in four Tibetan autonomous prefectures as well as a township in Golmud in Qinghai province, is expected to explore a mechanism for the ecological development and environment protection, according to the State Council executive meeting presided by Premier Wen Jiabao.
The Sanjiangyuan region, with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters, is the source of three rivers - the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Lancang River.
The green cover in the experimental zone is set to be increased by 15 to 20 percent by the end of 2015 and 25 to 30 percent by 2020, according to the draft of the experimental zone.
The protection and restoration of the vegetations in the zone will be emphasized, and the balance between the grass fields and the number of livestock will be monitored and adjusted according to the ecological condition, said the draft.
Construction of infrastructure in the zone will be strengthened with an eye on ecological protection to improve the life quality of the local people, according to the draft.
The source lakes had experienced shrinking as a result of environmental damage caused by human activities and overgrazing by animals since late 20th century.
Measures were taken to prevent soil erosion, artificially increase rainfall, forbid overgrazing and move herding families out of the region. About 50,000 people have been moved out in the past six years, according to official data.
As a result, the lake area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau expanded in size by 245 square kilometers from 2005 to 2010.

Director Du Jiayi's adventure drama, "Kora", has been listed in the 48th Golden Horse Awards to compete for "Best New Director" and "Best Adapted Screenplay," after it short-listed for the 24th Tokyo International Film Festival.
Based on the best-selling book of the same name, the film "Kora" tells the tale of a young Taiwanese who journeys to Tibet by bicycle in order to fulfill his late brother's last wish. It depicts the beautiful scenery along side the Yunnan-Tibet borders starting from Lijiang to Lhasa.
Reporter Claire Wang took an interview with Director of "Kora" Du Jiayi before the director's trip to Tokyo International Film Festival on October 22, the followings are the digest of the interview discussion.
Q: what message do you want to deliver through this movie?
A: "Depicting the magnificent and beautiful scenery of Yunnan-Tibet borders belongs to the mission of the scenic film, while "Kora" stresses the sentimental side of it."
A: I have been to Tibet for several times by cycle or by car. I found compared with Tibet, human is nothing. Only in this splendid natural power can humans including me find the original needs of human being and reflect the meaning of life. Tibet is a paradise of daydreamers.
A: I see “Kora”a verb instead of a noun. “Kora”is to reflect your mind and purify your soul. From the meaning of the word, Kora is both a type of pilgrimage and a type of meditation in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Kora is performed by making a walking circumambulation around a temple, stupa, or other sacred site. In this way kora functions as a mind-calming meditative exercise.
"Pain makes you understand the meaning of your life."
A: I didn't choose Tibet's best season for shooting, whereas I chose the winter season when the weather condition in Tibet was severely bad and the oxygen level of air was considerably low.
A: Undertaking the difficulties, I and the whole shooting crew all experienced a test both on our physical bodies and our spiritual souls. Pain makes you understand the meaning of your life. I am sure after watching the film, audience would understand my meaning.
"Remember to protest the environment in Tibet at every moment"
A: One thing I want to point out is that there is no cleaner in Tibet. If you travel to Tibet, please make sure all the rubbish is cleaned by yourself. The last thing, "Kora" will be screened nationwide on 3 November, welcome to go to cinemas to watch the film.
Tibet recorded 2.25 million tourist arrivals in the first half of this year, up 24.8 percent year-on-year, according to figures released by the region's tourism bureau on Thursday.
Tibet recorded 2.25 million tourist arrivals in the first half of this year, up 24.8 percent year-on-year, according to figures released by the region's tourism bureau on Thursday.
The region's total tourism revenues went up by 39.65 percent to reach 7.14 billion yuan (1.11 billion U.S. dollars) during the period, according to the figures.
The bureau estimates that the number of tourist arrivals will hit a new high of 7.5 million in 2011. Tourism has become a pillar industry in Tibet, as its infrastructure and transportation have been significantly improved in recent years. The region receives over 10,000 tourists daily.
The Lhasa Gonggar Airport sees nearly 60 arrival and departure flights each day, while the three civil airports in Nyingchi, Qamdo and Xigaze handles 62 flights each week for tourists.
The Qinghai-Tibet Railway has transported over 10 million tourists since its opening on July 1, 2006, helping to drive up Tibet's tourist numbers, according to Padma Choling, chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region.
By the end of 2015, Tibet expects to host 15 million tourists annually and post annual tourism revenues of 18 billion yuan, Padma said.
Southwest China's Tibetan wetland system, the country's largest, maintained sound development thanks to a series of protective measures put in place over the past five years, local authorities said.
Wetland preservation has become an important part of the autonomous region's envrionmental protection drive, with five state-level wetland parks established in the region, said Tibet's forestry bureau chief Lei Guilong.
Another two wetlands - the Maidika marshes and Lake Manasarovar - are listed on the Ramsar Convention, or the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, he said. Tibet also has eight regional-level wetland reserves.
A new law on Tibetan wetland conservation became effective in March this year, banningthe unauthorized exploitation of all wetland resources, discharges of waste and collection of birds' eggs.
The law also requires forestry authorities to keep wetlands from deteriorating by supplying sufficient water, prohibiting herding and closing some of the more fragile wetland areas.
Tibet has six million hectares of wetlands, about 10 percent of China's total, and they are home to rare species like the Tibetan antelope and black-necked cranes, according to the forestry bureau.
The plateau region's wetland system includes 2.5 million hectares of lakes, 3.2 million hectares of swamps and 264,000 hectares of rivers.
Learning to live with a disability is not easy, especially if you are blind. Sabriye Tenberken from Germany, however, feels that physical blindness should not come in the way of being successful in life as well as being an inspiration to others.
For the last few years, Tenberken has inspired countless blind children in the Tibet autonomous region.
Blind since the age of 12 after a degenerative retinal disease, Tenberken has in the last 13 years taught blind children in Tibet how to take care of themselves and to inspire each other through her project Braille Without Borders (BWB).
The project centers on successfully integrating more than 100 students at the boarding preparatory school in Tibet into mainstream society.
That task is not easy - Tibet is one of the most remote places in the world, where rural areas are often huge swaths of wildernesses.
When Tenberken first came to Tibet in 1997, she found that there were hardly any facilities for blind children.
"Most of the blind children were from the rural areas in Tibet and many of them were often confined to their homes by parents as blindness was considered a curse due to bad karma," she says.
"I was shocked when I saw the conditions. These children were in no way different from the others. From my own experience I knew that blind people can overcome any kind of challenges with systematic training," she says.
After she was born in Cologne in 1970, Tenberken's parents knew their daughter would be blind by the time she was two.
Undaunted, they traveled extensively with her so that she could soak up all the colors before her sight was completely gone.
At the same time, her parents also encouraged her to discover her own boundaries. Later, they enrolled her in a German high school for the blind where she learned horseback riding, downhill and cross-country skiing, white-water rafting, Braille, and, above all, self-reliance.
"The techniques and methods taught in that school opened a whole world and I never felt that I was visually challenged," she says.
Tenberken's interest in Tibet started at the University of Bonn when she joined a program on Central Asian sciences, which included a course on Tibetan language. Since she was the first blind student for the project, she had to create Braille for Tibetan.
Tenberken's first visit to Tibet in 1994 was a disaster because she had to end the trip due to altitude sickness. Undaunted, she returned in 1997.
"My trip to Tibet was not just for understanding the conditions of blind children but also to see if I could find a use for the Tibetan braille that I had developed."
During the second trip Tenberken also met her future life partner Dutch engineer Paul Kronenberg. In the same year, Kronenberg quit his well-paid job and teamed up with Tenberken to run the school program in what is also called "the roof of the world".
"There was no school for the blind when we arrived. We decided to start a preparatory school in Lhasa in 1998," she says.
Much of what Tenberken teaches at her Tibet school comes from the experiences she gained during her own schooling. Apart from their academic subjects, children at the school are also taught how to communicate and share their experiences with each other.
Over a period of two years, the students get oriented in mobility and daily living skills, followed by classes in Tibetan, Mandarin, English and the mathematical Braille script.
"The BWB program also includes a Braille printing press, a self-integration program where students are integrated into regular schools or jobs in the society and a vocational training farm in Pelshong, Shigatse, where students can learn skills like medical massage, animal husbandry, gardening, compost production, cheese and dairy production, baking, knitting, carpet weaving and kitchen management.
"Currently there are around 50 students being trained in different vocations and skills. We are also working hard to market the products made by our students to generate income and cover part of the running costs," she says.
Currently BWB has six full-time teachers, including three blind teachers at the preparatory school in Lhasa. On the farm there are around 19 full-time trainers and teachers, with six of them blind or partially sighted.
But the real problem is to find adequate financing for the projects in two countries. The monthly expenditure for the Lhasa preparatory school is about 35,000 yuan ($5,490) while the vocational training farm in Shigatse has monthly expenses of around 70,000 yuan.
Most of the financing for the BWB projects comes from the sales and royalty proceeds of the three books published by Tenberken and from donations.
But for Tenberken and Kronenberg, the real joy is when their students graduate with the ability to support themselves.
"We started with young students 12 years ago and many of them have now reached the high school age. At present four students are enrolled in two high schools. Nearly 60 percent of the graduates from the vocational training program are supporting themselves. Most of the others have returned home to work and support their families," Kronenberg says.
There are some who have performed exceptionally, such as 23-year old Kyila who went to the United Kingdom for a one-year English course after studying at the BWB school. Kyila underwent further studies at the International Institute for Social Entrepreneurs in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, another project being run by Tenberken and Kronenberg.
Kyila now runs a kindergarten next to the BWB vocational training farm in Pelshong, Shigatse, where blind and sighted children play and learn together.
"Before coming to the school, I lived in my own world since no child wanted to play with me because of my disability. But my experience in the school has helped me make more friends and be treated equally. Now I can tell others: 'I am blind. So what?'" says Kyila in fluent English.
More than 300 doctors from about 20 provincial regions across China on Thursday left Beijing for Tibet, where they will offer free surgery to children with congenital heart disease and people with cataracts.
During their 10-day stay in Tibet, the doctors will visit Lhasa, Xigaze, Shannan, Nyingchi and Ngari, the United Front Work Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, the organizer of the program, said in a statement.
In an effort to help impoverished newborns with congenital heart disease to have access to medical services, the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee has organized doctors to preform free operations on more than 100 children since 2008.

In winter, the whole city of Lhasa was quite as in hibernation. The drawing room of Kunga Rigzin, however, was filled with guests. They were here to ask Kunga to choose an auspicious day for their traveling or building a house. They sat quietly waiting for the master to calculate in a solemn atmosphere. They came here early in the morning, and until noon, the last one had left.
Current Tibetan calendar has been used since 1027 A.D., a combination of Tibetan phenological calendar, Indian Sri Kalachakra Tantra (Wheel of Time Tantra), and Tang's calendar brought by Princess Wen-Cheng. It has evolved into a sound and scientific calendar system. It was awarded as “the most authoritative calendar” by Chinese Academy of Sciences and approved as "intangible cultural heritage”.
The Complexity of Tibetan calendar can be seen through the Tibetan almanac. Even though you know the Tibetan language, it is still difficult to read the almanac except some superficial and symbolic content. Only the expert can tell you what the book is really about. Kunga Rigzin is one of the experts.
As a professor of Tibet astronomy and calendrical calculation research institute, he is one of the few experts who know the Tibetan almanac well and are responsible for the compilation. His family is engaged in Tibetan calendar calculation, and his ancestors had served the Dalai Lama. Kunga is the 23rd generation of the family.
According to official Chinese sources, Tibet has proven deposits of 126 minerals, with a significant share of the world's reserves in lithium, chromite, copper, borax, and iron. Amdo's oil fields produce over one million tons of crude oil per year.
The Regime of China loots Tibet to get cheap materials for factories in China
Chinese people traditionally did not herd animals and did not include milk or other dairy products in their diets;
in fact, the Chinese people are the only large civilization on the earth that was not based on a symbiosis of upland herding people and lowland agriculturalists.

Hence they were the only culture to create a defensive structure, the "Great Wall" in order to keep themselves separate from upland herding peoples such as

Learning to live with a disability is not easy, especially if you are blind. Sabriye Tenberken from Germany, however, feels that physical blindness should not come in the way of being successful in life as well as being an inspiration to others.
For the last few years, Tenberken has inspired countless blind children in the Tibet autonomous region.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
Blind since the age of 12 after a degenerative retinal disease, Tenberken has in the last 13 years taught blind children in Tibet how to take care of themselves and to inspire each other through her project Braille Without Borders (BWB).
The project centers on successfully integrating more than 100 students at the boarding preparatory school in Tibet into mainstream society.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
That task is not easy - Tibet is one of the most remote places in the world, where rural areas are often huge swaths of wildernesses.
When Tenberken first came to Tibet in 1997, she found that there were hardly any facilities for blind children.
"Most of the blind children were from the rural areas in Tibet and many of them were often confined to their homes by parents as blindness was considered a curse due to bad karma," she says.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
The neglect moved her into action.
"I was shocked when I saw the conditions. These children were in no way different from the others. From my own experience I knew that blind people can overcome any kind of challenges with systematic training," she says.
After she was born in Cologne in 1970, Tenberken's parents knew their daughter would be blind by the time she was two.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
Undaunted, they traveled extensively with her so that she could soak up all the colors before her sight was completely gone.
At the same time, her parents also encouraged her to discover her own boundaries. Later, they enrolled her in a German high school for the blind where she learned horseback riding, downhill and cross-country skiing, white-water rafting, Braille, and, above all, self-reliance.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
"The techniques and methods taught in that school opened a whole world and I never felt that I was visually challenged," she says.
Tenberken's interest in Tibet started at the University of Bonn when she joined a program on Central Asian sciences, which included a course on Tibetan language. Since she was the first blind student for the project, she had to create Braille for Tibetan.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
Tenberken's first visit to Tibet in 1994 was a disaster because she had to end the trip due to altitude sickness. Undaunted, she returned in 1997.
"My trip to Tibet was not just for understanding the conditions of blind children but also to see if I could find a use for the Tibetan braille that I had developed."
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
During the second trip Tenberken also met her future life partner Dutch engineer Paul Kronenberg. In the same year, Kronenberg quit his well-paid job and teamed up with Tenberken to run the school program in what is also called "the roof of the world".
"There was no school for the blind when we arrived. We decided to start a preparatory school in Lhasa in 1998," she says.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
Much of what Tenberken teaches at her Tibet school comes from the experiences she gained during her own schooling. Apart from their academic subjects, children at the school are also taught how to communicate and share their experiences with each other.
Over a period of two years, the students get oriented in mobility and daily living skills, followed by classes in Tibetan, Mandarin, English and the mathematical Braille script.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
"The BWB program also includes a Braille printing press, a self-integration program where students are integrated into regular schools or jobs in the society and a vocational training farm in Pelshong, Shigatse, where students can learn skills like medical massage, animal husbandry, gardening, compost production, cheese and dairy production, baking, knitting, carpet weaving and kitchen management.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
"Currently there are around 50 students being trained in different vocations and skills. We are also working hard to market the products made by our students to generate income and cover part of the running costs," she says.
Currently BWB has six full-time teachers, including three blind teachers at the preparatory school in Lhasa. On the farm there are around 19 full-time trainers and teachers, with six of them blind or partially sighted.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
But the real problem is to find adequate financing for the projects in two countries. The monthly expenditure for the Lhasa preparatory school is about 35,000 yuan ($5,490) while the vocational training farm in Shigatse has monthly expenses of around 70,000 yuan.
Most of the financing for the BWB projects comes from the sales and royalty proceeds of the three books published by Tenberken and from donations.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
But for Tenberken and Kronenberg, the real joy is when their students graduate with the ability to support themselves.
"We started with young students 12 years ago and many of them have now reached the high school age. At present four students are enrolled in two high schools. Nearly 60 percent of the graduates from the vocational training program are supporting themselves. Most of the others have returned home to work and support their families," Kronenberg says.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
There are some who have performed exceptionally, such as 23-year old Kyila who went to the United Kingdom for a one-year English course after studying at the BWB school. Kyila underwent further studies at the International Institute for Social Entrepreneurs in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, another project being run by Tenberken and Kronenberg.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
Kyila now runs a kindergarten next to the BWB vocational training farm in Pelshong, Shigatse, where blind and sighted children play and learn together.
"Before coming to the school, I lived in my own world since no child wanted to play with me because of my disability. But my experience in the school has helped me make more friends and be treated equally. Now I can tell others: 'I am blind. So what?'" says Kyila in fluent English.

Current Tibetan calendar has been used since 1027 A.D., a combination of Tibetan phenological calendar, Indian Sri Kalachakra Tantra (Wheel of Time Tantra), and Tang's calendar brought by Princess Wen-Cheng. It has evolved into a sound and scientific calendar system. It was awarded as “the most authoritative calendar” by Chinese Academy of Sciences and approved as "intangible cultural heritage”.

The Complexity of Tibetan calendar can be seen through the Tibetan almanac. Even though you know the Tibetan language, it is still difficult to read the almanac except some superficial and symbolic content. Only the expert can tell you what the book is really about. Kunga Rigzin is one of the experts.

Chinese people traditionally did not herd animals and did not include milk or other dairy products in their diets;
in fact, the Chinese people are the only large civilization on the earth that was not based on a symbiosis of upland herding people and lowland agriculturalists.

Hence they were the only culture to create a defensive structure, the "Great Wall" in order to keep themselves separate from upland herding peoples such as
