There is no serfdom now for immediately after 1950 we declared to abolish it forever. Serfdom just exist under the rule of the others but not the current government.

Perhaps you don't realize there are many types of serfdom and Tibetans are in fact still serfs because you donot control your own destiny.

China controls the destiny of Tibet.

Whatever Tibet wishes to become it may only do what China allows.

That is sefdom.

That's funny. I personally know a few Tibetan lamas who escaped Tibet in the '50s and none of them say there was any serfdom imposed by the government in Lhasa. They all call the Chinese barbarians for what they did too. Of the approximately 200,000 Tibetans that have escaped Tibet since 1959 I have never heard of a single one that disagrees with that.
