Ethnic separatism is something kind of required within any concept of a group of people being independent from their government.

Civil rights though... is a concept which cannot coincide with the idea that a nation of people who have lived independently and separately from a foreign nation should be ruled by that nation. The Chinese claim seems to amount to nothing more than "You're close to us and we want you, therefor we claim you"; that is contradicted by Tibet not needing anything n return

@Maarilat Fair enough. I'd just keep in mind that *all* Chinese are just as oppressed by the CCP as the Tibetans are. We shouldn't be calling for a Free Tibet, but for a free and democratic China where there are strong safeguards in place for national minorities (including institutions in place to help the assimilation of out-of-region people into the local culture, as well as education in the native language and a right to one's religion and so on).

[SaimDI]

@Maarilat In other words, I'm not convinced Tibetan secession is the best course of action in terms of what the Tibetan people will actually get out of it.

tibet have become part of China sinse year 1271.. which is Yuan dynasty.. yea true they are Buddhism.. but Buddhism are not chinese native religion you know....

really leave these to the chinese to handle, and mind your own businese.. atleast before you read some history book and knowing atleast tiny bit of the fact..

yea maybe few tibet want independent, so they should be independent? it is minority of the ramaining higher class and monk, only about 5% of the total population...

[SaimDI]

To emptyna: "only about 5% of the total population... "

So you wouldn't mind if they actually had a referendum? Ha - I doubt it. I'm saying that IF most Tibetans want independence, then so be it.

[emptyna]

btw.. how you see "most"???

in fact only very small number of rich noble and monk want independence.........

[SaimDI]

I didn't say that Emptyna, I said "IF" most want independence, then so be it.

@ZaoLuYang: Let me fuck you and then I will help you. We don't want to be fucked and helped. When help is given by force, it is torture. When torture is given by request it is help. When the time comes We Will Fuck China and will never help after fucking.

hey dumbass any archaic form of multiculturalism is a result of imperialism, thats anywhere in the world. The fact its happened so long ago dilutes the issue. China's expansion into Tibet and in fact all China predates US independence or pilgrims. Whats your point? The fundamental fact is China has a legitimate claims to titles in Tibet, and if you don't agree then let the US start by giving America back to the Indians u self righteous fake-rights war mongering bastards

[ZaoLuYang]

FUCK TIBET! They should be thankful China is helping them evolve

[shijieheping123]

[jetsamjetsam]

[Emi916]
