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.

Well I agree that partly you are right, we hope improvements on this situation.
If one day it is the Tibetans ask for more freedom but not the monks, then we will give it more serious considerations, for the government must put the interest of his people on the first place.
If the author chose to support the masses of tibetans we are happy to receive criticisms, but please think more before grant honors to Dalai Lama, if there is one persons supporting this man, it will be the once-priority-owned monks but not the people in Tibet.
Is that clear? I hope American truly understand who is Dalai Lama, and the future of Tibet is ruled by him and some of the monks that support him. If you have the chance go to Tibet and ask the local people who does they support and how is their life now. I bet they may give a variouslist, but definitely the name of Dalai will not be included.

No it's not. Serfdom isn't just a bad word. It's a very specific type of feudal social class. Tibetans are *not* serfs. They're suffering under a totalitarian government yes, but they're not, for instance, tied to their land.
