There were NO serfs, indentured farmers or slaves in Tibet in 1948.

There were serfs in Tibet AFTER the communist invasion of the COUNTRY of Tibet in 1949.

Friedrich Hayek and Mikhael Gorbachev argue that the PRC's experimentation with collective farming and People's communes in the 1950s and 60s amounted to a return to government-owned serfdom.

There are SLAVES in Chinese Slavery Prisons in 2009 working 16 hours a day 7 days a week.

Tibet before Chinese occupation was an absolute hell hole where, for one example, the dark shadow of slavery still existed in it's very worst and most barbaric form. Don't believe everything, no, ANYTHING, Western politicians tell you of China.

and so the people in south tirol - they speak german but they are still italians - the same for the alsacians in france, etc., etc.

Maybe Sorbs want to be part of Germany and are happy to be assimilated.

Tibetans do not want to be part of china.
