Would you feel comfortable travelling on a train 5000 metres above sea level? Tibet is home to the world highest train line - and oxygen masks are provided for the ride. Interesting video from BBC documentary series, 'A Year in Tibet'.

@ChinaKillsTibetans Although there are no certain boundaries in china. Taiwan and Tibet are a minority of China. China will never "let" Tibet become independent. Yes, their religion is very different, but their lifestyle is only so remote because of their environment. Tibet is part of China.

@ChinaKillsTibetans We did kill lots of Tibetans and we dont care it at all. One of the reason why Hu became president is that he killed lots of Tibetans when they didn't comply to orders. r u satisfied? lol ~

Alaska was bought off the Russians. When you are living in modern houses you aren't subject to a harsh environment, so you are less likely to die because your body can't cope with the cold.

@ tahenhao

Most people doing Falun Gong are Chinese.

Have you ever tried the Falun Gong exercises at a Falun Gong practice site ???

I don't care how much support you guys get in western countries. The point is, you'll be hard-pressed to find A SINGLE CHINESE that supports your screwed-up cult.

@TheRealChina

Recent research shows that, although Tibetans living at high altitudes have no more oxygen in their blood than other people, they have 10 !!!!!!! times more nitric oxide and double the forearm blood flow of low-altitude dwellers.

.

Nitric oxide causes dilation of blood vessels allowing blood to flow more freely to the extremities and aids the release of oxygen to tissues.

.

One day the lowlanders will go back to where they came from and where they are adapted to living...
