I understand you took a hike there. But do you have any other *reliable* evidence to back up your claims?
I understand the tension between Tibetans (not all of whom live in Tibet, as you may know) and the Chinese government over economic, cultural, and environmental issues. But no, I do not accept the premise that Chinese governmental policy toward Tibet is as monsterous as you suggest.
As I’ve said before — and maybe I should put this in my sig as some sort of disclaimer - I have no illusions about China being some sort of Shagri-La, but I do see the amazing changes that have occured here over time. That’s how to evaluate Chinese government and society, not as a snapshot, but over time.
A Tibetan took me to a big rock the Chinese soldiers hide behind to shoot the Tibetans using the trail over the pass to Nepal. He told me that is where they shoot the
Tibetans. There were shell casings littering the ground in this spot. The casings were 7.62X39 and colored green.
Have YOU ever been to Tibet, ChiCom?
Hey guys - watch the troll being exposed by multiple people on this thread. Very funny.

Ironic choice of words in a post defending China's treatment of Tibetans.
If you haven't read it yet, I suggest Kundun.
Perhaps you could pick up a copy in a bookstore while you're there.
