Report: Now that a direct train links Beijing to Lhasa... many Chinese are settling in Tibet and bringing Chinese merchandise with them. This city market used to display the local crafts industry. But today, Tibetan products are rare.

  • Stupid Chinese in the video. We don't want to make these crappy products. If you want these products and if they're so important to him he should have stayed in China and not come to rob our country. Tibet belongs to Tibetans. Leave and take all your Chinese junk with you, along with your buildings, street signs, brothels, bars, amusement parks, etc. Take your noise, pollution, cameras and spies with you as well.

  • Cultural Genocide is the usual term. Tibets beautiful culture is being wiped out by the chinese communist party. To learn more about the Cultural Genocide of Tibet please watch

    Tibetans are not Chinese

    For example

    the Sino-Tibetan Languages split into Chinese and Tibeto-Burman

  • @ Willhelm007

    Why do you think Tibetans protested across Tibet in 2008 ???

  • Educated and well off Tibetans in exile need to invest in and help their fellow Tibetans in Tibet right now before the Tibetan race disappears.

  • When subsidies for Han Chinese migrants to Tibet and East Turkestan are abolished things will change for the better.

    Subsidies create problems around the world. In the PRC they show the RACIST nature of the evil communist party.

  • With the new rail road more and more Han are going to Tibet, now Han are the Majority in Tibet. If you have democracy in Tibet -one man, one vote, in the election the President for Tibet will be Han Chinese. Tibetan are minority in their own country, just like the red Indian in USA. Tibetan are as good as history.

    and learn more about the Cultural GENOCIDE of Tibet

  • Before the invasion of independent Tibet began in 1949 Tibetans were FREE to move about and speak out.

    Now Tibetans have no say about what happens in Tibet. If Tibetans say "FREE Tibet" in public they will be put in prison beaten and TORTURED. Some die within days.

    FREE Tibet, South Mongolia and East Turkestan from the EVIL communist party

  • It is progressive of China to promote migration of non-Tibetans into traditional Tibetan area.

    This is like forced busing of children in the USA.

    In 1968, the Green Decision, 85% of blacks parents chose to send their kids to all-blacks schools.

    One can say that since 1968, the US has conducted cultural genocide of blacks by forcing them to sit next to white kids.

    Hogwash. Minority cultures are meant to end eventually. This is a part of social progress, cultural genocide or not.

  • I doubt if there is such a thing as forced assimilation.

    A government can force exposure, but the choice to assimilate is always an individual one.

    The USA forces exposure as a part of the enligtenment of the civil rights movement. It is forced busing of children. The US can force children of different races to sit next to each other, but ultimately whether there are more racially mixed people like Obama depends on individual choice.

    It is progressive to force exposure in China.
