You just contradicted yourself. First you tell us how poor Tibet is, how uneducated Tibetans are and they don’t take advantage of the schools you give them and how many special privileges you give them and how much it’s costing to give Tibetans infrastructure. Now you say your only interest is in the prosperity of China. If it is costing such great treasure to “help” the poor, ignorant, superstitious, ungrateful Tibetans who can’t compete with Han Chinese you should want to wash your hands of them and stop wasting Chinese money on them. Your bank manager should fire you for not understanding the most basic economic lessons
1,the integrity of territory have precedence over the economy consideration.
in fact, the investment on Qinhai-Tibet railway and highroads to tibet can get repayed economically in forseeable future. But those infrastructures is very important to reinforce national defence.
2,In a long run, territory is invaluable asset.
don’t forget in 1867, most papers called Alaska “useless refrigerator” and were object to buy it...
But how about now?
Oh, well I guess that changes everything.
By the way, who'd you buy that little piece of real estate from, and how much did you pay for it?
