There is still a lingering insecure feeling of being marginalized by foreign powers in China, due to past Western colonizalism. But as China's influence grows, people within China will not feel so insecure.
If the Tibet issue is still around in 50 years, and Chinese citizens see protests in France regarding Tibetian independence, I really doubt the Chinese people, by then, will be so upset as they are today. In fact, in 50 years time, I really doubt protests against China in a foreign country would even make front page news.
Sure, Tibet won’t be an issue in 50 years because it will be free.
There won’t be protests against it either because IT will not exist as it does today as “One China”.
Let’s wager a bet. In 50 years, if you and I are still around, the wrong one leaves FR. :-)
