I never met one that didn’t speak English.

are kept better in China than in USA?

as we see,Tibet has been merged into CHina for 300 years since Manchu empire,but USA has a hisotry of only 230 years.

As we see, that isn't at all true.

History of Tibet

The Dzungars invaded Tibet in 1717, deposed and killed Lobzang Khan's pretender to the position of Dalai Lama. This was widely approved. However, they soon began to loot the holy places of Lhasa, which brought a swift response from Emperor Kangxi in 1718; but his military expedition was annihilated by the Dzungars, not far from Lhasa.[85][86]

A second, larger, expedition sent by Emperor Kangxi expelled the Dzungars from Tibet in 1720 and the troops were hailed as liberators. They brought Kelzang Gyatso with them from Kumbum to Lhasa and he was installed as the seventh Dalai Lama in 1721.[87][88]

Following the Qing withdrawal from central Tibet in 1723, there was a period of civil war.

China began posting two high commissioners, or ambans, to Lhasa in 1727. Pro-Chinese historians argue that the ambans' presence was an expression of Chinese sovereignty, while those favouring Tibetan claims tend to equate the ambans with ambassadors. "The relationship between Tibet and (Qing) China was that of priest and patron and was not based on the subordination of one to the other," according to the thirteenth Dalai Lama,[93] (The thirteenth Dalai Lama was deposed (1904), reinstated (1908), and deposed (1910) again by the Qing Dynasty government.)

What has the Chinese government done for these citizens of China in the last 300 years? Have you taken a census, built them roads, schools, or hospitals? Do they have electricity or telephones? Can you name one religious leader of the native American Indians that has been exiled from his own people by the United States government?
