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. :-)

I'm willing to make that wager, except, I may end up leaving before 50 years since I may not be able to see the computer screen before that time :)

But you have to realize, that Tibetians are moving into China looking for opportunities and the Chinese are moving into the Tibetian Plateau. There will be considerable cross migration occuring over the next 50 years, especially given all the airports, rail systems and freeways that are being built throughout China and into Tibet. And an ever expanding urbanization of the Chinese population means more economic opportunities for Tibetians to leave the plateau to go elsewhere in China.

But I'll up the wager too. That the Russian Far East will be part of China in 50 years. And maybe Mongolia (though, I won't throw that into the wager).
