Why is Tibet Important to China? Stratfor

Stratfor's Vice President of Strategic Intelligence Rodger Baker examines how ethnic conflict, fear of foreign intrusion and access to key freshwater sources will continue to keep China's attention focused on Tibet.

1. 456inthemix: Does Europe belong to Roman Empire ?
2. bas kir: Then why they have to attack Tibet in 1950s and drove Tibetians.
3. Bruce Lee: Dont know anything Do you ?
4. Cynthia Kelly: It's about more than water, it's about power. China needs to leave Tibet alone.
5. h02ctn: Ron Paul: US is slipping into a fascist system watch?v=EEzagvTvpyc&feature=g-all-u&context=G20a3296FAAAAAAAAAAA
6. TheMightyGuri: how comes you never made a single proof why tibet is a part of china but only hold yourself on to what others say and think?? facts should prove what you believe in, otherwisey you believe in something wrong :) 1 example what tibet makes a part of china BESIDE the so called "peaceful liberation" in 1950 please
7. Khitish Kumar Bhol: And India yet hadn't used it's Air force. If capital was under threat than there would have been all out war to every extent. And don't think it was that easy. The pressure from UN would have arrived.
8. TheMightyGuri: oh and btw. just because the US and all the other countries who wanna profit from the slave conditioned labour prices for brands like nike, reebok and so on, and therefore lie about the fact that tibet is under illegal chinese occupation so the chinese clown party doesnt start cryin, that doesnt make tibet an legitimate part of china there was a conference in 1993 where china has been asked to see if tibet is part of china by law, the CCP were scared and didnt attend that conference :p
9. TacticusPrime: Fuck China and the fucking nationalists polluting the internet. You'll get yours soon enough.
10. 台灣友邦計數器: you bloody moron.guess you don't know how power works.
11. 456inthemix: There does not exist Chinese Ethnic just created by CCP !!!!!!!
12. Wayne Tong: Why don't you go to Tibet and take a look yourself ? Tibet is open to tourists. Good to take the train that took 15 years to build.
13. TacticusPrime: Yes, I'm sure the Balinese will be very interested to hear about the strong Chinese influence there. The Filipinos as well. The pasta example makes clear that receiving a cultural exchange from an area, in this case from China to Italy, does NOT give you "influence". Political and cultural influence do NOT go hand in hand. Most people around the world watch American movies, but that doesn't mean that Americans dictate political terms to them. Not on the basis of culture, that's for sure.
14. Aztoca D: Dumb boy, the communists was the one who spread propaganda deceiving peasants and farmers saying KMT did not fight the war against Imperialist Japan in WWII. Since peasants and farmers held a large population and were uneducated, they were easy to deceive. I think you are the one who needs to learn your Chinese history with an more deeper understanding.
15. Christoffer CIMO: Be there Lata...get ready muthafuckerz!
16. yanguli: You never heard that Tibetans saying that Tibet is part of China, but I heard Tibetan said he is. What you heard of can't be evidence, that is just what you think of. The current Panchen is a Tibetan, and he said he is a chinese. Can you explain?
17. yanguli: Previously you said you never heard that a Tibetan said Tibet is part of China? Are the 10th and 11th Panchen Tibetan (10th Panchen was not chosen by current Chinese goverment)? Just answer me this question!!!
18. Di ddspeakup: why is california so important to america?
19. linnaa: Tibet must be free from China and should be governed by the US. Only the US could save Tibetans, give their democracy, food and clothes for living.
20. ShaktipatSeer2: Your analogy in this comment is wrong just like the rest of your analogies and has nothing to do with anything. Tibet has been invaded many times in the past and has grown and receded in influence over the course of time.. They still have a government in exile and they didn't go into a slow gradual decline like the Roman Empire.. There is a large population of Tibetans who still very much consider themselves Tibetans. Look what the Jews managed to do after 2,000 years exile from Palestine?
21. Stephen Zhao: The lands of Mongolia, Manchu, Uyghur, North Korea, North Vietnam, even Kazakh were belong to China in the past 2,000+ years. Today's some countries of them did not exist in the past several hundred years. We all know China has a very long history,about 5,000 years. China's first Dynasty is Xia“夏”(about 2,100BC-1700BC), then came to Shang“商”(1700BC-1100BC), after 800 years Zhou Dynasty“周”, Yingzheng“嬴政”(the first emperor's name) firstly united China(221BC), that is Qin“秦”. Many people don't know the fact these dominators(Xia to Qin) are all nobles that share the same blood, they are actually relatives from one same tribe union origin—Huangdi“黄帝”(about 2700BC) to Yu“禹”(Qi's father, about 2200BC，well Qi“启” is the man who established Xia Dynasty). Especially the dominators of Qin Kingdom(former of Qin Empire) and other states were mostly Zhou Dynasty kings' descendants. Ok, I'm saying the history continuity. So I'm to go back to the topic. 1. Mongolia only has 800 years of history, today's Mongolian land reared many ethnic groups, such as Xiongnu“匈奴”, Han“汉”, Xianbei“鲜卑”, Tujue“突厥”, Huihe“回纥”, Kitan“契丹”, Jin“金” before Mongolian. And China always has huge influence on this area of North China to now. Outer Mongolia country was firstly separated from China under USSR's project in 1945. Strictly, Xiongnu is not Hun, because they are much different. Hun is a west concept which is mixed blood. Xiongnu is totally orient, they refered to a branch of Xia Dynasty by themselves according to history records. Similarly Tujue is not Turk. Today's Turkey people are mixed blood Islam Muslims, even not in same area, that is not like Tujue in 600AC-800AC. Some ethnic groups of Ancient China disappeared throughout thousands of years, many of them had been turned to actual Chinese, even Han Chinese. 2. Manchu only has less than 500 years of history. The Northeast China Land(including today's Russian Far East Siberia) is or was under governing of Chinese Dynasties till late Qing“清” Dynasty. 3. Uyghurs are actual later settlements, mixed blood. China had been controlled and governed Xiyu“西域”(ancient West China land name) over 1,000+ years since Han dynasty before Uyghur. Because of civil war China trended to lose control to Xiyu since Song“宋” Dynasty, then Uyghur rose by annexing other ethnic groups in Xiyu and turned to Islam. But most of those ethnic groups in Xiyu held Buddhism belief before Uyghur. 4. Today's North Korea and North Vietnam had been parts of China for 1,000 years in the past. Those lands were not colonies like the ways what the West treated others, they are real territories. 5. Kazakh only has 25 years of history thanking to USSR's collapse. While a part of Kazakh land should belong to China, it had been a part of Xiyu for thousands of years. Tsarist Russia did evil again in 1864. 6. Tibet got to relate to Tang“唐” Dynasty(Han China) since 700AC, it became a part of China during Yuan“元” Dynasty. Nowadays many territorial disputes between China and other countries are historical problems left by the West colonists. For example, the Qing Dynasty signed a number of unequal treaties with Tsarist Russia to be forced to cede over 2 million square kilometres of territory in the Northwest China and Northeast China. Tsarist Russia was always the evil. The Soviet Union ever promised to return, but never put it into actions. Now all the minorities are Chinese, we are in a united multi-ethnic country. If someone wants to say they are not Chinese, please go back to school to learn the real history. If someone wants to say they are not Chinese, then people of the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Latin America, Africa and other countries that only have several hundred years of history would not be the citizens of their "so-called" country too, and they should be separated to various part of states.
22. keeyk118b: China annexed Tibet becos it was in china's long term interest and becos Tibet had no credible army to deter an invasion.
23. mark jason: after tibet,,,what next chinese commies???
24. DougDelivers: You are quite mistaken. China is a despicable, rogue nation that invaded Tibet in 1950 without provocation and with no legal basis for its claims of sovreignty. China's 62 years of unlawful occupation have been marked by environmental degradation, political oppression & religious supression, with more than 6,000 Buddhist monasteries and shrines destroyed. The 14th Dalai Lama & his government in exile in Dharamshala, India, are Tibet's only legitimate ruling entity. China needs to get out NOW.
25. Vishnu charan reddy: Because it is in the blood of chinese people and history to hurt the people who gave life itself to them. they are above evil levels of human imagination. they kill the very own life that gave them life worthy living. it is in their history. WHAT THEY DID TO BODHISATVA the budha form who gave them a meaning and showed a way to humanitarian life. that is what they are. some times it is not ok to let others greed to cross the extent where forgiveness becomes a mistake. they have crossed the levels
26. TacticusPrime: China is just another imperial power with their own justifications for the use of intimidation and coercion. Don't swallow the lies of the government. It's just pretty rhetoric hiding declarations of power; a velvet glove on an iron fist.
27. sersarsor: I say this because the Han ruled over China for much longer than the Mongols or Manchu did. The Yuan dynasty and Qing dynasty combine for only a few centuries in comparison to China's 4000 year history. The Mongols took it from the Han-ruled Song Dynasty and ruled for only a hundred years or so, the Manchu took it from the Han-ruled Qing dynasty and ruled for 3 hundred years. The body of China has always ruled over a majority of the 56 ethnics in China today.
28. obsidianstatue: +Akin Khoo bs, by the time Kublai came into power and finished defeating the Song dynasty, the mongol empire was already split into different states. Yuan dynasty never was part of the mongol empire created by genghis khan.  Yuan dynasty also wrote the official history of the Song dynasty, this is a Chinese tradition where the succeeding dynasty must write the official history of the previous dynasty. Ming dynasty who succeeded Yuan dynasty also wrote the official history of Yuan dynasty.  all mongol Khans before Kublai was all posthumously given a title, which means they never even set foot into China.
29. MATT K: Why is California Important to United States? Why is Okinawa Important to Japan? Why is Scotland Important to England? Why is Siberia Important to Russia? Why is Quebec Important to Canada? Why is Jerusalem Important to Israel? Why is LAND Important to a Country? fucking dumb ass people
30. TheMightyGuri: i like these questions about native american lands being under illegal occupation or the hawaiian islands too you clearly see them as an illegal occupation, how comes you dont see tibet as an illegal occupation? because you're chinese and two wrongs make a right for you as long as china can illegal occupy tibet
31. Ethan Tsiao: American west was belong to Mexico before the Mexican American war! Aboriginals and Indians were unable to burn themselves to death because they were already killed and eliminated by white colonists before their attempt! So shut up!
32. chandler ma: +mario rossi If you actually read and learned the history, there's a huge difference between under controlled by China and was a part of China. Korea and Vietnam at one point used to be China's 附属国 which literally means sub-country. They were ruled under Chinese constitution and had to pay taxes to China, but they had their own central governments and own emperors which were recognized and sometimes appointed by the Chinese emperor, and China gave them military protection and education, etc. They later on separated from China because China suffered from recession and couldn't keep up on it's own. Tibet was a whole different story, Tibet was conquered by Kublai's army and became a part of China since 1271 which was Yuan dynasty. Let me just ask you something, if some knuckleheads out there in New Mexico wants New Mexico to separate from the US, are you going to allow it to happen?
33. twenlil: China does not need to pay anyone to respond to any comments. Only ignoramus like you think so.
34. YaoMIngdix Shanghai: Tibet became part of China since Tang Dynasty, you know nothing about Chinese history, because you are not Chinese or Asian. So stop sticking your big nose in our business. I don't know what the fucking country you from, but anyway please keep your fake human right and freedom to yourself.
35. qsqqjx: you are so ignorant. how can you confidently talk about something you do not even know about? yes, there is sweatshop factories in china where people only make 2 dollars and hour. but you should also know that in china a proper meal for one person is average 2 bucks. in america lowest hourly salary is around 8 bucks which can also buy approximately a meal. you have the idea.
36. Wayne Tong: Based on ancient history, China had a track record to live peacefully with Tibet. China's emperors even sent their princess to marry Tibetan king & prince. That''s how Chinese heritage, influence passed on to Tibet to form one country. By Tibetan geographical importance, China should be anxious to please Tibetans, not by atrocity to create hatred & rebellion in the first place. Recently China had built a super rail to reach Tibet. Farm, ranch opened for Bed & Breakfast. Tourists are welcome.
37. Rich91: National pride isn't important in the grand scheme of things. You think the people are so stupid to buy into the nationalist bullshit the government is selling? It's like asking the Americans whether they would like to give up on their military dominance. On the surface, there might be qualms about moral values and so on. Deep down, they all understand that their military might is what guarantees their economic interests, even though the same military might sometimes be put to dubious uses.
38. bas kir: +xiyu tian Palestinians also take money from west with the promise that they won't attack israel but again they attack. Kashmiri take money from Indian government and then do terrorism. Same is with all the cases. You are lucky that they Buddhist otherwisr there would be daily bomb blast. You have to understand human hunger for power and control of area is higher than being poor or not. Same can be said for so many partition around the world. Why Pakistan gained by separating from india or say Bangladesh or Burma or sri Lanka? Nothing much it is just lust of power. Tibetian issue is different. They want autonomy under Chinese rule as per agreement. All the issue I mentioned will never get resolved because those issues dont have population numbers at least in the near future.
39. Changying Jushi: all your comments here show one thing: YOU are a filthy fucking racist. and you prove it very well. and you could continue to hate us. BUT we do not give it a damn shit, RACIST!
40. chandler ma: +TheTenzii1 you make absolutely no sense at all. Plus, the entire south western side of the US used to belong to Mexico, have you ever thought about that? Hawaii too, used to be a independent country, why is it so important to the US?
41. Thanh Nguyen: except Tibetan themselves.
42. Yan zen: Maybe some mistakes caused by my poor English
43. Frederick: Hey,fools,think about Brittany and Catalonia.
44. Fluvioglacialiteit: Just fucking pay for your water China!
45. yuubokumin415: Tibet is not important to China. Chinese lie , cheat, and steal. Tibet is China's victim.
46. Rich91: It was never about ethnicity or national pride. All this boils down, is to hard-cold strategic interests if you have ever listened to this report. If you have observed world affairs nowadays, you would have realised that all major powers only adhere to one rule and that is: self-interest. Only way Tibet is ever going independent is if it was in the interest of China to let it become independent, OR if China's central government had weakened to such an extent that it can no longer exert control.
47. XX Wu: the tibet belongs to china since 17th century,and china is a country with 56 nations originally
48. Changying Jushi: and Tibetans will be freed as Chinese citizens one day, I promise you! BTW, Tibet was, is and will always be Chinese territory! I can be there anytime I want whether you like it or not!
49. naruto: they were absurb they are now speaking english live like american but if chinese were in hawaii they are suffering until now like tibetan and those people in xingyang province
50. Dolma Dickey: The Communist Party is brainwashed terrorists, also the devil Massacre.Hu Jintao is brainwashing the devil.
51. Allahu Akbar: exactly, international meddling is not okay...
52. ToiYeuYAHWEH: Evil china must be broken up into many smaller pieces for the sake of all humanity. Amen.
53. nikka hilabtanun: chinese just want to eat babies. pure and simple
54. DorianGrayism: I know what I wrote. You wrote...that they want it for selfish reasons. My point is....why would they want it for anything else? IE SELFLESS reasons.
55. TacticusPrime: Actually they do eat curry. And rice and noodles are not the sole domain of Chinese, ever heard of pasta? Some SEAsias have recent Chinese ancestry, Chinese Indonesians for example. It is similar in Thailand, with a more ethnic looking people in the interior and more Chinese looking people in the Capitol. That doesn't make SEAsians "Chinese".
56. gsfcdy: Right so that what its albout
57. TheMightyGuri: the hard time here is guys like you who acceppt everything somebody else says without checking it for yourself... if obama says china sucks, then china must suck
58. Ngawang Phunkhang: superhigh with anger and intolerance, be real, we are not talking about just Tibet and Tibetans, this communist dictators are fooling their own people in the name of communism and their cadres and majority of the leaders are millionaires or billionaires. may be you are one of those leaders kids who are looting the spoils of the hard working honest Chinese citizen. people who support Tibet are not doing so for fame but supporting justice and human rights for all including the Chinese people.
59. Cacaonut: "Perceived foreign interference" Heh
60. xusemoi: kill! kill! kill! i despise the spirit and energy involved....
61. jack rowet: But having a photo of His Holiness The Dalai Lama gets you sent to jail. Not to mention you are sterilized/castrated if you are a Tibetan while there.
62. Yan zen: I dont know who you are,I hate CCP,but I love my country.Most of my tibetian(sichuan province) friends get well along with us,we love each other.We all call for Democracy.But if you are a terrorist who ask for division with any reason,then we are not friends.You can ask for anything except independence.
63. ishwor gurung: chian won tibet lost.winners gest land..loosers gets fucked case closed.case closed....
64. TheTranceCartel: In that event, a Mongolian/Russian offensive vs China isn't completely inconceivable
65. sersarsor: what you say can be applied to all of the other 54 ethnic minorities, including mine. Yet, they have all been considered Chinese.
66. Allahu Akbar: Very good point. Not one single country supports a "Free Tibet." I'm glad I'm not the only one that understand that.
67. Gerald O'Hare: It is just a matter of time before there is internal warfare inside of China. The Han Chinese are the ones who rule in China. Other ethnic groups are treated poorly.
68. Tenzin T: Tibet is important because it's its own fucking nation and culture...DUHHHH.
69. CaptainCool07: Boooo hoooo. Cry me a river.
70. qsqqjx: after reading this i really cant comment anymore. you are just a ignorant pathetic guy. i think everyone read your post will laugh out loud.... go read a book
71. My Universe: Everyone knows the role the CIA has played in Tibet, or not? Or we can switch the question: Why are ethnic struggles between Tibet and China important for the USA?
72. 456inthemix: Protect from who ? Read the book of Jung Chang & Jon Halliday : MAO ! No one trust China no alley only Pakistan is your ally and you don't know ! Where are you living on Moon ? That was the greatest joke I've ever heared and those two tumbs up are too morons,
73. Tashi Dorjee: @AustralienGuy whatever cost communist must die.
74. SpaceColonies: +Akin Khoo The westerner rejects imperialism, how ironic.
75. Khitish Kumar Bhol: Nearest Indo-china border from New Delhi is less than 300 miles. So ur above mentioned doesn't make sense. The chinese withdrew in mid Nov and that was the wisest thing to do for them. If they hadn't withdrawn, all the mountain passes would have covered with heavy snow and Chinese logistics and supply lines would have suffered a lot and they would have been routed by India. Their airpower then was not much to speak off to maintain supply lines. Same story on both Eastern and Western Sectors
76. Robert Daniel: What a small minded man narating that video.  Does he have any idea what the Chinese did and are doing to the Tibetan people?  How much horror and hurt they have caused during their occupation of Tibet?!
77. YaoMIngdix Shanghai: No! India is not oriental, like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, and all the South East Asian people.
78. Wayne Tong: Some countries with hidden agenda want Tibet go independent. Not truly for human right, is to repeat what Japan did in Manchuria, created the puppet govt. Manchukuo. Outsiders must understand, Tibet is too important for China to separate because origins of China's 2 major rivers Yangtze & Yellow River are in Tibet. If there is chaos in Tibet, China's blood stream is in trouble as well. Tibet is one of China's 5 major tribes like a hand with 5 fingers. Nobody wants to miss one finger.
79. lilnavy W: China government is kind enough to Tibet.Y'all r saying China should set Tibet free cuz once Tibet is separated from China China would fall apart and become no threat to America or whatever the fuck.And Tibet will eat shit.
80. 456inthemix: Adam Carr - you are well known as CCP 50 cent on Youtoube !
81. Dane Calderon: Actually, I'd be fine with giving Texas back to Mexico. I'd also be fine with giving about 1/2 of Utah to Tibet and let them move here... same with Israel... give them Arizona, and let the savages in those areas have the precious land they desire so badly.
82. h02ctn: @itsthekush Doesn't the Pentagon have something that is called something like "full spectrum dominance"? Propaganda because of the insinuations that China is "evil". Ron Paul? Seriously what can a man (or president) do against the real "powers that be"?
83. Zhou jay: .u get the money from your government ,so u writ down u words. but i still hope someone trust me . Frist.the Tibetans own more human rights than our han nationality. including the education.economy. they can get a better university as a lower scor. Second. weatern government insist the stronger china is bad to the world. because ideology between china and western is different. we are communism, like the Soviet Union ,like Nazi during ww2. japanese ww2.
84. Yan zen: my english is not very good
85. Wayne Tong: Were you born before 1911 ? If not, what you know is just part of the whole happening.
86. roman14032: well that tells it all pretty well
87. Yan zen: Nationalists are every where around this world.The economy of Tibet has been integrated with the other parts of China,independence would never come true. Come back to reality and stop dreaming.
88. Hung Liang: Well, The Americans are much better and nicer people, because they are in Iraq to spread "democracy", am I right? Let's whine about the thousands of soldiers who died, and rarely mention the half million Iraqi civilians.
89. 456inthemix: China will invade the whole world and say American and Australian should leave the country too !
90. Yan zen: Shame on you,Anglo-saxon invaders.Anglo-saxon invaders were 10000000 times crueler than Chinese.
91. omnidivisible: If you are talking about 1910 that would be British India because India declared independence from the UK only in 1947 and a republic in 1950. China became a republic in 1912 but did not unify and shook semi-colonization and occupation until 1949.
92. Rfy Rfyrfy: Tibet belongs to Republic of China before 1950, it is recognized by all the other countries at that time. Dalai Lama is just a slave owner.
93. Khitish Kumar Bhol: Expansion into Qinghai, Tibet, Nei Mongol, Xinjiang, show's China's Imperialism nature. Do you even know the history of India and Pakistan. Every India-pak war was started by Pakistan. India-Pak 1971 war happened because the atrocities west pakistanis were committing on Bangladesh(then East Pakistan), 3 million people were killed, 200,000 women raped, giving birth to thousands of war babies. 8 to 10 million people fled to seek safety in India. pakistani terrorist activities r well know.
94. MrWhiteiscolour: Dalai Lama will die but not Tibetan spirit. If present situation continue it will take at least couple hundred hundred years before China no longer hear about Tibet. At present time no single Tibetans inside and outside of Tibet claim they are Chinese. Many cases their sense of Tibetaness is much stronger than before. So China's hope for dying Tibetan issue with Dalai Lama is irrational and foolish. And present situation in China can not be continued because more and more peopple wakend up.
95. IsaacSamo: You are disgusting human being...correction: You are disgusting (not a human being)
96. Miaoxin Lee: Why India is important to India？As this video，the most stupidest question.
97. Jun Liu: It makes me laugh when ppl from other countries make useless efforts to tell Tibet apart from China, this is exactly like talking themselves from their parents...I cannot believe they are still doing this after so many years...The fact Tibet, Taiwan, Macao belongs to China is inargurable. Why are they still trying to do this, it doesn't work!!! for god's sake, are we as Chinese all understand you guys are trying to seperate China, so pls stop for god's sake! It's not workinnnnnnnnng!
98. caller347: So it's fine for china to censor your internet about Tibet, but when the US has police at a protest, now that is just satanic, despite that we are allowed to have websites that 9/11 was an inside job or the moon landing was fake.  
99. A Artisan: As it stands tibet cant function without china's support. Without the huge amount of money in social spending to the region, everyone there will revert to pre-industrial herding. They would be begging for UN aid to stop starvation. Ofcourse thats what the west want. more poor countries eternally locked in poverty sucking upto them.
100. Jack Hunter: U guys wanna fuck with China and support Tibet , then just do it , just no more bullshit.
101. Akin Khoo: +obsidianstatue it was, Yuan was established by Kublai AFTER mongol invaded china so during the gap before the founding of Yuan, China was part of the mongol empire. 
102. 可舟Lighter: Why is your brain important to you? Although it seems to be useless.
103. Khitish Kumar Bhol: Imperialism is china's nature. That's why it attacked India in 1962. It wants takeover or be dominant over all of it's neighbor whenever it gets a chance. where is freedom of expression in china. I can't say about han Chinese people (but maybe poor will), but chinese will face many negative response from Tibet people freedom of speech is given china. There is no discussion(with all people) on problems of china, solutions r authoritarian one, without multi input suggestion.
104. TacticusPrime: I suppose that means Myanmar, Vietnam, and the rest of Indochina needs to control Tibet as well. Their mother rivers come Tibet. Nationalists like you disgust me.
105. ge ten: china was failed nation in past and at present and in future too because they never had a king that conquered outside china only tibet after 1949 that communist policy too got from russia.science and technology and religion all copied.they have nothing to show this world that invented or discovered by themself.they produce medicine from tiger bone,rihno nose,shark fin,monkeybrain and baby rat and some insect.everything is copied as a big useless man
106. Rfy Rfyrfy: Western imperialists have never stopped their plans to invade our nation since 1840. All these western imperialists are fear of our rise because they have done so many atrocities to us and they are afraid of our revenge. If you want to prove that you are superior morally, free all the territories you invaded in your bloody history. Free Texas! Free Northern Ireland!
107. Akin Khoo: actually it was tibetan red guard that destroy much of the religion, this is why the monestary around PLA garrison are the best preserved whereas those with less beijing control suffered the most. the tibetan exile still tries to deny the involvement of tibetan in the red movement. and in doing so, they disown real tibetan. in reality, the exile slogan is similar to that of sarah palin's "real america", it is a rejection of what Tibet is, then an attempt to protect it. why is it that if a tibetan were to choose to be pro-china, he is automatically deny his right to decide the course of his country? the exile functions more like a dictatorship telling people what tibet is and anyone who disagree with them cannot be tibet. it is madness and will only cause pain to the people.
108. 456inthemix: What you excercises self all the time you expect of others ! Aren't you ashemd to comment such bullshit. China will annex all Asian countries and bully. Without China the world would be much peaceful. What you worship is Money and Power that is Maifa Gang CCP and their people still cannot think independently, guess everything went to fast you new rich without integrity and morality. Don't don't you call Ching Chang Adam Carr :-)
109. 456inthemix: Bhutan be careful of China, first they will build Buddha statue and later they will tell the world Bhutan was always a chinese territory, they are like snake and are not ashamed of twisting the truth like the guy underneath. The most scarin scenario: the world is ruled by radical islamists and China !
110. Khitish Kumar Bhol: The rail connection, so as to gain tibet people's trust for chinese as well wisher. But chinese want domination over them by large migration on to tibetan territory and destroying there tradition. Tibetan people will be forced to forget their roots. Where is program for perseverance of Tibetan culture??
111. Wayne Tong: When Mao & his communist party took control of China 1949, there were plots of outside interest to urge Tibet people to revolt & separate from China. A convincing theory was Communism didn't not allow religion. Due to Tibet's strategic importance to China's security, radical measures were taken to stop any separation movement. After so many years, the worst scenario is over and Tibet can prosper without further political complications. A super-rail to Lhasa was completed. Tourists are welcome.
112. Wing Wong: Therefore China will use what ever force to keep tibet in Chinese map.
113. Maya Green: Who am I and who you are to sympathize to someone? Look at you...What is your position and situation? KNow the meaning of "sympathy". NOW Nobody is sympathizing Tibet and Tibetans..... These people are acknowledging that Chinese Govt.'s brutality towards TIbetans are getting to the point where every one feels "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH".
114. DG CU-T: i agree with you, but i just hate that Tibet takes our money and go. By the way. i think Tibet will be as poor as Mongolia if it leaves China due to the disadvantages of high altitude, then who will support them? i saw a lot of people only mention that China makes use of Tibet, but the truth is that Chinese government spends more money on Tibet than on other provinces to improve the life equality.
115. chandler ma: +NeQHack I'm not even gonna talk to you anymore cuz u keep avoid responding to anything I said and just assault me personally, I guess you are one of those idiot who can't debate properly. Muted and reported :)
116. James Reid: Well said
117. Ethan Tsiao: U vietnamese kept in war with other countries from 1950s to 1990s! U invaded Cambodia and stationed there without permission for 10years and creating disputes with Thailand! so Vietnam is a real threat to Southeast Asia! Not China!
118. MrWhiteiscolour: OMG! Answer is Big NO. You still believe in these crab created by your government.
119. Wayne Tong: ( The following is copied from another comment for reference) : my tibet friend told me its bs on the tibet incident, its basically funded by western money to disablise chinas growing threat..most of the west are nice ppl except for the power crazy greedy fat pigs sitting and dicatating policies...
120. omnidivisible: Comparing the corruption, violence and force American civilians, undocumented immigrants, suspected terrorists are regularly exposed to, Tibetan Chinese police "violent suppression" is mild. Google American torture in domestic prisons, police brutality, taser abuse, "Waco, the Rules of Engagement" where an American Christian group and children and women of various nationalities were burned and gas to death by military-grade cyanide tear gas and the FBI "lost" crime scene evidence.
121. Kyle Colon: @h02ctn It's called "full spectrum superiority" by the US military. It's used to describe the strategy often attempted by our military forces (land, air, water, information and space superiority) during a conflict. I don't recall anything coming close to a moral position taken in this vid. Is it more in-depth than say, their coverage of the US doing similar? Sure, why not. RP can't do anything, agreed. Figured you were using him as an anti-war platform, as some folks often do. My apology.
122. richard bautista: THIS STUPIDMAN AZTOCA D is ignorant of history...the chinese people  had driven out the nationalist chinese (CHIANG KAISEK )from CHINA..read more about history..
123. keaulana1: FREE TIBET!
124. Wayne Tong: Countries with hidden agenda want Tibet independent. Not truly for human right but repeat what Japan had done to Manchuria, created puppet govt. Manchukuo. Outsiders must understand, Tibet is too important for China to separate because the origins of China's 2 major rivers Yangtze & Yellow River are in Tibet. If there's chao in Tibet, China's blood stream is in trouble as well. Tibet's one of China's 5 major tribes like a hand with 5 fingers. Nobody wants to miss a finger.
125. omnidivisible: Google the ethics of the privitization and publicly traded American prisons, racial profiling and injustice, failed American justice system, false imprisonment and compensation in the US. Where is the global Free United States movement?
126. dorje168: Four more arrested in restive Driru Phayul[Sunday, October 20, 2013 10:24] DHARAMSHALA, October 20: Chinese authorities have arrested four more Tibetans from Namchu region, Driru County in Nagchu Prefecture for sending out information about Chinese crackdown in Driru over the past weeks.
127. Changying Jushi: We attacked India in 1962? are you kidding? if it's us that lauched the attack, we did we retreat back to the McMahon Line after kicking your ass? that was obviously a self-defence! anyway, maybe you indians see it in a different and wrong way just because you were the loser. China has nothing to do imperialism. It was just because some countries stole too many things from us during the last century and we have the right to get it back.
128. Khitish Kumar Bhol: continued.. For ur 1st point India retreated after the war 1947, 1965 with pakistan after advancement for pakistan's acceptance to peace across LOC. In 1971 war with pakistan, India helped in freeing Bangladesh. And in 1979 chinese troop withdrew without fulfilling their mission to vacate Vietnamese from Cambodia, It can be assumed that for China it was difficult to continue the battle.
129. Emma Esther Rodriguez Orticochea: América del Sur y Central, regresaríamos todos a al País Vasco, España, Italia, Irlanda.... etc. Nunca compramos tierras indígenas, en Uruguay la ley es que la propiedad de la tierra es unos pocos metros del "Tapiz" Por lo tanto luego de pagar a los pocos descendientes de indígenas que quedaron en caso de América toda, las riquezas de suelo como oro, diamante, huraño, Petroleo etc. debe pasar a manos indignas, para que luego EEUU y Europa invadan como lo están haciendo con los países Árabes?
130. TacticusPrime: Don't be a fool. Have you actually met any of the Chinese netizens? Look at the bozos commenting on this thread. Geopolitics is element what contributes to foreign policy. Never believe that you perfectly understand all motivations and reasonings. That's a path to self-deception.
131. Rouxlas: It's ok ill take my private jet instead... See you tomorrow morning!
132. ToiYeuYAHWEH: @FuckCheaChineseGirls I can't wait until evil china is destroyed & wiped off the face of the Earth for the benefit of all of mankind. Amen.
133. Allahu Akbar: Yea, these Tibetans are just stupid. I'd say just ignore em.
134. dorje168: Chinese police use codes to put secret surveillance on Nagchu Tibetans Phayul[Saturday, October 12, 2013 10:29] DHARAMSALA, October 12 - The Chinese authorities in Lhasa have started a secret hunt for Tibetans from Nagchu. A notification issued by Lhasa police to various convenience posts in Lhasa and Nagchu uses code words to monitor the movement and activities of Tibetans. The notification requires the police to use secret codes for Diru County, Drachen County and Sog County,
135. Ed Eddy: So they are scared of the Indian?
136. YaoMIngdix Shanghai: Without Chinese and China town in south east Asia economy will collapse!. As for Philippine we do not care about them, they need us more than we need them. All south east Asia now benefit from China investment except for the Philippine, because their government are puppet of US. China bring the modernity to South east Asia and Tibet and to the countries that are open arms and welcome China as friend.
137. Inner Engineering: BEGGAR AND THIEF CHINA. WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON. WE CANNOT LIVE TOGETHER. GO BACK TO CHINA.
138. Calvin Blue: +Mayjin Shinobi 'I mean u are barking about facts here on YOUTUBE yet this platform is banned in china by the dictatorship of red ccp' - The mainlanders are lucky they don't have to hear your crap...
139. Tenzin Choetso: Actually, your appraisal of the Dalai Lama as a "nutjob" is an opinion since it is a personal judgement. A fact is that he has won a nobel peace prize, authored numerous books, and has been the topic of countless documentaries and biographical movies. Learn the difference. You might want to get off youtube and open a dictionary instead.
140. aednil: very interesting
141. MiddleKingdom: Continue....are strategic places to protect the Middle Kingdom from any invasions, just like the reporter of the video said. I may add, the same as in Xinjiang province, on the west side of Middle Kingdom, no matter the Uighurs protest or terrorize the majority Han Chinese rule because the Uighurs are considered as invaders by the Han majority since the ancient time ( Han Dynasty ); they were the Huns descendants. They were barbaric nomadic people who terrorized China in ancient times.
142. ge ten: this is truth and must spread to whole world to open inner eyes otherwise murderer chinese always spread lies and threats not to tell truth
143. chandler ma: +NeQHack How do you define imperialism? I mean, the South kinda wanted to be on it's own and the civil war happened. Is that imperialism as well? Just because a couple of knuckleheads in Tibet thinks they are so powerful that they can overthrow the government doesn't make the government bad. Which is apparently ur logic.
144. 456inthemix: "Manchus and Mongols did not originally rule over China." ??? Don't get mixed up with Manchuko ! And read your own history before you comment !
145. TacticusPrime: What are you talking about? The American government genocidally exterminated and put in concentration camps and "reservations" the Native populace. It was an immense crime against humanity. American imperial expansion over the continent certainly brought it wealth, but that doesn't mean that it was legitimate. As an Anglo-Saxon American, I look at the history of my community with objectivity. Not nationalism.
146. YaoMIngdix Shanghai: People Indochina its by product of Chinese. You look at their culture, their way they look, eat, dress and so on are just like the Chinese. I am born in Laos but my ancestors are Chinese.
147. 456inthemix: Chinese hidden agenda was Maos dream finally to rule the world. There isn't chinese tribes don't make up new things. At least say we invaded Tibet, Inner Mongolia and East Turkistan, these are independent nations.
148. TacticusPrime: Now you're just talking out of your ass. Most South Asian have more in common linguistically and ethnically with Swedes than with East Asians. 99% of the cultural transmission has been FROM India TO China and the rest of East Asia. That's just the facts of history. SEAsia is much more heavily influenced by Indian and Muslim culture and history than Chinese. That's simply a fact.
149. Calvin Blue: The whole reason for China's interest in Tibet is more defensive rather than offensive.. Tibet is a region that seems to cut China in half.. China sees it as a threat, which can be used by India or Western countries to 'Slice' China... It's good that Tibet is under China, Tibet is the reason why China and India are very much at peace.. if Tibet becomes independent, a big issue will happen, because any decision a Tibetan government makes will gravely affect Sino-India relations..
150. Shark rider: +NeQHack you sound stupid.can all other 55 ethnic becomes han chinese ? and i think you know the answer is no.tibet,uyghur?(xinjiang) and inner mogolia is part of china and all ways will be ! its ridiculous not to let it own peoples to live where they want to live.this is 21st century.not 19th century wake up idiot apathy policy in south africa don't work anymore ! 
151. Sonny Latchstring: @Geostrategic1 I am glad I most times read 'made in China' because then I know I haven't paid too much for the item. It is the only way we can afford our luxury way of living.
152. Ralphie87: It was a joke geared towards people that wanna SPREAD democracy. Secondly china's never gonna give Tibet Independence ,if they do then there absolutely stupid ,theirs to much natural resources in Tibet.
153. Ihat bullshit: apart from intelligent, you know, there is an evolution rules too. you like it or not it applies to all over us. if you are weak you get run over.
154. anita mujahidah: BE ONE MY BROTHER I'M INDONESIAN, COLONIAL COUNTRY WANT TO DIVIDE YOUR NATION WITH THEIR MEDIA
155. 456inthemix: Tibet is Asia's Water Tower or can you drink Gold ?
156. zaqqum: that´s different, don´t you think? :)
157. IsaacSamo: Learn some fucking grammar idiot.. At least the size of your brain should be average, we all know how is it with your penises...
158. Dark PePe: Tibet belongs to China. Period.
159. Octavio Octavius: Dear Chinese.  Please leave Tibet.  And stop stealing so much.  And please take back your FAKE Panchen Lama.  It's really ruining Tibetan culture.
160. lyco pene: Dalai Lama is important to Tibet, China and Asia.
161. yuubokumin415: Well every time I go near the Chinese Embassy. Tibetan people are protesting for their freedom of China's dictatorial government. Chinese lie, cheat, and steal!!! Free Tibet!
162. Captain Obvious: Mongolia is a lost territory of China, stolen by the Russians.
163. IsaacSamo: No one said that "The world should be dictated by the West". That is just cheap excuse.. Democracy??? Read your words dude, the what you are describing is a passive HOLOCAUST!! (BTW, China and democracy? Read about China human rights abuses. It´s all over google...)
164. reiVond: What I have a huge fucking problem with is people using issues like this for race hate and denigration. Take some time and see things from another bloody paradigm, give credit where credit is due and recognise the shit you read is just as biased as the media you accuse china to be.
165. Dolma Dickey: If you do not know the situation in Tibet, you learn the history of Tibet in to write a comment。
166. TheMightyGuri: read: claiming tibet as a part of china because tibet and china were vassals of the mongolian empire in the 13th century is like france would claim italy because both were vassals of the roman empire - THIS is really saying 1+1=3 - cant you see that? and again: tibet is under illegal occupation by china, doesnt matter if some selfish politicians accept that by ignoring historical facts like you do - palestine is also under illegal occupation, and some morons approve that, u too?
167. Wayne Tong: No aggressive countries would withdraw voluntarily after battle victory. Fact --China withdrew voluntarily after victory, 3 times in modern history (1) China soldiers greeted good-bye to Korea after Korea War (2) 1961 when China army gained upper hand in battles with India. And within only 300 miles to Indian capital, Chinese troops stopped advancing & withdrew voluntarily. (3) 1979 Chinese troop withdrew right away after battles with N Vietnam. Facts speak louder than accusation.
168. jack rowet: Dumb argument. That was then, this is now. Don't even start with the Native Indians, once again, that was then, this is now. So you admit that CCP is at least 50 years behind the rest of humanity?
169. Marko Kraguljac: Next topic: Why is US raping Cuba for more than 50 years? Who owns private prisons in US? Why is Israel important to US? Why is SF NEVER asking real and most pressing questions? I am still waiting for a holistic approach SF :D Framing, spin and propaganda wont get you far.
170. Tom Nancy: and you sound like a China made fake Professor( just like all the fake stuffs that China manufactures) who can't even write two lines in proper English!!
171. shadenet1989: and i presume ur smart right mr"superhigh"? i bet your some chinese kid that lives in the states and yet i question why u live in america instead of ur glorious and wonderful china? u are a hippocratic ignorate child who presumes to know it all.. and for your information there are several chinese figures who sympathize with tibet and its citizens, one of who is ai weiwei who criticizes china's unfair policies on ethnic minorities as well as the lower class, less wealthy han citizens .
172. 456inthemix: I recommnend you the book "WATER" Asia's Battleground by Prof. B. Chellaney
173. bas kir: +TheYinWarrior Your reply is irrelevant to the question.
174. Changying Jushi: You think I do not know the history of India and Pak just like you think you do know the history of China's autonomous regions. Conceited and ignorant!
175. Akin Khoo: the point is we reject imperialism, so how can imperial control be used as argument for sovereighty? this is why i also reject Indian claim of sovereighty over south tibet and assam because of imperial british. who give a shit what the imperial border are? the question is can china protect the interest of the people living there? can china serve the interest of the tibetan? that is what china really need to do to be rightful ruler of tibet. 
176. TheTenzii1: Calvin blue Hey Calvin Lets assume. i need more place to live as i have many childrens.. so im coming to ur place n kill u n ur wife and takeover ur home. I Will take care of ur childrens. But If they dun obey me i Will kill them. But dun worry i Will make ur home beter place to live. so now would u Let it happen?? Or u Will Say its good Let it happen.. only we the tibetans know wat China Is doing to us. N we are saying we want our land back..Btw ccp are not allowing tibetans to learn tibetans language indirectly as they tired directly n didnt succed.. But i know truth cannot be hidden. are u human?? Do u know How much it hurts when sumone burn himself alive?? u have no idea about tibetans n our pain. So plz plz i beg u to stop saying things which u dun know. I hope good happens to tibetans n everyone in this world including u.
177. bas kir: Why not let china under tibetian control then?
178. MrWhiteiscolour: You heard Tibetan saying Tibetan is part of China and he or she is Chinese? May be it is in your dream. This man so called Penchen lama was picked by China and hidden somewhere since his childhood saying he is Chinese. That is no surprise. People can train tiger and put them in circus. Starting with Mao, China never believed in any form of religion so who gives them right get into religious business. Can Jew appoint Islamic religious head?
179. Zhou jay: we feel happy whenthe Soviet Union is destored. do u know why ? case we love peace. we wanna peace. and the root reason why there are many negative news about china is that the world cant stand a stronger china , not u , and u .its the other strong country government . because china rise ,means they are fall.its true and its human's born ability. it can not change ,even chinese .
180. Wayne Tong: This video shows how Tibet Railway at 4,000 meter altitude was built and overcome extreme climatic conditions. Amazing --- Youtube ( Making Railway to Tibet ) by SteamRailwayWorld
181. Ben Farrar: Chinese will always be angry and nasty because of their penis size.
182. Allahu Akbar: Why do you accept everything the Tibetans say? Those rebels are desperate for attention for a cause that is doomed to fail. Do you think whatever comes out of the Dalai Lama's mouth is true? He's the biggest nutjob of the 21st century and that is a FACT.
183. Khitish Kumar Bhol: China claiming Tibet by saying that it was part of ancient past empire in China is hypocritical & selfish. There also should more commonality, people's wish, freedom for the resident for Tibet to be part of china. China has occupied(expanded) so much territory(more than half of it's territory) by force(military) after independence in mid 20th century that it doesn't/can't give freedom of speech to all people in it's territory, if it does this than it can't hold it's territory. It has kept all it's territory under control via authoritarian gov & military might. After Independence China expanded to territories it can have any ruling link in past up to the point where it meets a comparatively strong territory forces or stark difference/contrast.  Every Great Empire Shrieked in it's size because of differences in people, to whom it couldn't give same freedom.  So saying there is no wrong if China is like its past great empire is selfishness of the authoritarian PRC gov.  If u consider Great Mongol empire, then China shouldn't be china rather it should be Mongolia.  China's policy- Might is Right. 
184. Dark PePe: Like a typical China hater you're full of shit. China have no use for taking over other Asian countries, they only protect them from curry slumdog gang rapists like India. You morons have no morals so no one in Asia trust you, not even your cultural compatriots in Pakistan. Truth hurts doesn't it? :)
185. PikaPluff2040: China and india aren’t/shouldn’t be ‘countries’, they are unions!
186. shay doyle: Sick your fingers in your ears and blow real hard.
187. 456inthemix: Mao was kissing Stalin's Ass to get Russias technological know how and backing to invvade Tibet, while China was backward peasant country.
188. Bill King: Don't just say online. Go to Tibet and free it. Coward, dare you do it? Stupid idiot.
189. Allahu Akbar: The Dalai Lama is a nutjob. It needs no explaining. I'd like to see you change my mind about that. All your crying is not going to get China to give up control in Tibet. You can keep dreaming on.
190. Maya Green: Why people think that TIbetans want to cut of Chinese's dirty "F" finger off? Why can't people just tell the truth that China is murder, lier, cunning and their filthy paws have grabbed on Tibet since 59 and exiled the head of the country. There are more than 2 major rivers you ignorant... People, be true to yourself....
191. JsanDJ001: thank you for showing your hate anger and lies again it's very helpful
192. 함몰 유두한국녀의: Free Tibet! Most Asian countries support you.
193. Yan zen: Our mother rivers are origined from Tibet,all our blood and culture exist with Tibet water,we LOVE Tibet.
194. Wayne Tong: Dr. Shen Yat Sun was the founder of new China well-respected around the world. When Qing Dynasty was overturned by Dr. Sun in 1911, one design of China's new national flag for final selection contained 5 color strips. Each strip symbolized one major tribes.Tibet was one of China's 5 major tribes. That design was not chosen eventually because China actually comprised of over 50 tribes. However that historical design concept had portrayed Tibet status in China.
195. 456inthemix: It is never is too late to discover the truth unless you do not want to !!!
196. Katherine Adkins: Thank you! Great video!
197. fee1776: China will settle Han in Tibet just like the Americans settle and displace the Indians in the West. The Tibetans will be overwhelm by Chinese Han settlers. Fortunately for the Tibetans, the Communist do not encourage private property, if they had a homestead approach, many Han Chinese would be in Tibet at a faster rate.
198. Daniel: Why is Alaska important to US ? Why is Quebec important to Canada ?
199. omnidivisible: "Helping" the Tibetan government-in-exile is illegal and illegitimate and is against human rights and the wishes of Tibetans and the nationalities of China. During the time of the 13th Dalai Lama (British invasions and courtship) and when the Dalai Lama "self exiled" in 1959 n betrayed his people (his elected post was held for 6 more years until TAR was estab in 1965), most Tibetans, aristocratic, religious or lay, were AGAINST Tibetan independence and supported Chinese unity and sovereignty.
200. Emma Esther Rodriguez Orticochea: Tengo entendido: China compro mas de la mitad de la deuda externa de EEUU., creo el 75 % , ademas importa, ellos tienen el dinero. Hace lo que quieren. Mientras Europa tiene que devaluar y enfrentar la crisis. Crisis que no entiendo ni quiero entender; pues España no termina de invertir en el exterior :-(
201. sersarsor: noooo man, Manchus and Mongols did not originally rule over China. I am Manchu myself, we ruled an area that was later called Manchuria
202. yanguli: Do you have any solid evidence to prove that the present Tibetan spirit could last hundred hundred years? I only know the current Tibet is under Chinese control.
203. Dark PePe: Well the Native Americans had a peaceful culture that US had no right to stomp out. Native leaders had tried to communicate their peaceful intentions only to be massacred by US army. Shame on USA you need to give land back to the rightful owners.
204. TheMightyGuri: of course not all, only those han chinese people who act like what the CCP is doing in tibet is right, and those kind of human garbage, are unfortunately, many... yes, those white european settlers who did that to the native americans had no heart and compassion too, just like those han chinese scum in tibet today happy now?
205. Ralphie87: What I said it is actually happening but still in a small slow way ,guess you could call it slow genocide. Besides china will never give Tibet Independence they would rather bombard all of Tibet. Also Tibet culture is dying and turning into guess what western culture also called consumerism.
206. Oprah SideNiga: Yang Zen... Majority of people in China are Atheist.. u and maybe a few are buddhist but most are not. Because your government is also a non-believer.. soo yea
207. Tom Nancy: The population of tibet is 6 million...did you kill 3 million of them. Tibetans are as clever as any body..but not cheats like the chinese! Tibetans are as hardworking as anybody, but not money minded as the chinese. Tibetans are lot more sophisticated than the chineses in dealing with personal issues!!
208. Yan zen: America today belongs to all Americans not only Natives.Democracy is a good (maybe not good for Natives)thing which has forced the Natives to share America with all other Americans.
209. Elaine Sung: China is a bully that's why. Visit our site "Tibet Rebels"
210. tengma8: Then show me the map, show me a map that is published before 1951 that showed Tibet is independent Can You?
211. sersarsor: no! save the Aboriginals of North America and Australia!
212. MiddleKingdom: Time has changed, today China is more advance in term of technologies than the Russia, China is able to make the consumer products for the world needs. What do Russia making for the world? Nothing! They are good in stealing the indigenous people raw materials from Siberia and Far East of Asia and sell them to the world. Don't dig out the past, it won't work and never will.
213. yxs19882828: For some of you Tibetian morons, hopefully u can see a free tibet in your dreams lol, but never in reality, or if u r sooo angry with China ruling, please burn youself to protest.
214. Geostrategic1: @GuanYu89 Still no cigar, but your getting a bit closer neo-Nazi schlub of schlubs .
215. Dark PePe: More like you're lying. Love and compassion? Lol you can only fool yourself. They ran around in mobs attacking people in 2008, yeah very peaceful alright.
216. Geostrategic1: @GuanYu89 I know you attempting to win the 'Neo-Nazi Slug Award of The Week', but you will have to do exceedingly better than that feeble attempt, to even think of being in the running.
217. yuubokumin415: African countries are not happy with China being there, the dislike Chinese people like you stealing their resources and they are being forced to give away their resources for infrastructure. Chinese are the most ignorant people in Asia, and everyone hates China because Chinese people are arrogant, liars, cheaters, and Theives!
218. TheMightyGuri: may i ask you how it comes that the chinese government is unable to give tibetans what they should have, according to the 17 point agreement and the constitution of the peoples republic of china, and also the UN human rights charta? how comes they act in denial that they are those who are wrong and bring pain on them against their own chinese written laws??? this is how dumb those han chinese are :) being the assholes but blame the victims
219. Allahu Akbar: Lies??? Anything coming out of the Dalai Lama's ungrateful mouth is a lie. Truth is, China's sovereignty over Tibet is recognized by the UN. Another truth is, the Dalai Lama is a CIA agent. How about you start educating yourself before you start spreading lies all over youtube. The only suffering the Tibetans are facing is the humiliation of a failed rebellion. CCP needs to seriously step up on their crackdown on the Tibetan criminals.
220. IsaacSamo: Clearly, you are stupid and arrogant as hell. First of all; in 25 years will Chinese population die from hunger. China is already the biggest problem of Earth. And secondly; Chinese product quality is the worst then anywhere else. The only thing they are good at are fucking noodles. Nothing from what you wrote justify what they are doing to Tibet, in history books, they will be same as fascist. And I know what I am talking about, my country has been occupied for over 20 years.
221. Changying Jushi: nobody accepted?! how can you draw such an absurd conclusion? have you ever conducted any polls in Tibet? if not, save your bullshit!
222. Raul Gonzalez: +Bao Tran mekong delta was never VIETNAMESE is part of cambodia khmer krom
223. pribate: If Tibet goes independent I'm 100% sure India or the US will annex it or occupy it with military bases to threaten China. Those "free Tibet" people don't care about Tibet, they just want to surround China and weaken it for their own gain.
224. IsaacSamo: How could be helping to Dalai Lama (or Tibetan gov. in exile) against human rights?Anyhow,I have no interest to get into"conspiracy theories"about secret services of US or any other country,cos it always leads to nowhere,just to another unconfirmed so called information leaks. But;we talk about 1910 right?When Dalai Lama fled to India(British India),the reason was 2000 Chinese soldiers entering Tibet! That is what you call "peaceful co-existence and collaboration"? No, that is clear usurpation.
225. Zhou jay: im a chinese.and see some guys support the free tibet,and The dalai. the reason is various. some say. the tibetans dot own enough human rights. some says tibetan is different from the Han nationality. and some says the stronger china is danger .some say the chinese is rude and so on .. as an ordinary chinese , i think maybe i should say something. but the influence of The western media is so strong. even i say ,most people dot trust me. because people will think.
226. Rush King: Tibet is part of china. All the invaders will be destoried.
227. Hea Jung kim: Ben Farrar OK, if someday in future you are all kalled by someone else and your land belong to the newcomer, we could say that the new conqueror would apologize and make a change.
228. Zarrov: @Vann7 your statement is laughable. STRATFOR makes geopolitical analysis based on realist theories of IR. Therefore what you are saying is a complete nonsense, because assumes that states interests are based on irrational factors. This is exact opposite of what STRATF stands for. If China would be able to it would play any card to meddle with internal politcs of US, based on similar analysis as presented here, becuase this is what states do in order to protect themsleves.
229. tianba wang: Blah Blah Blah. A foreigner never been to China try to talk Chinese issues. Tibetan has been Chinese over 1000 yrs. Tibetans' ancestors was Mongolian and ancient Han people. Han, Chinese major race, was orginated from many ancient races, hundreds at least. Han, in ancient Chinese, meaned universal. Chinese can write for quite a long time, so we can see how people of east asia travel to different regions, seperate and reunite. And that's why Han was described as middle culture by nations around. Han is just similar to that "we are all americans in USA today".  It is not Tibet important or not, it is Tibetan are Chinese. By the way, 1400 yrs ago, it is Tibetan tried to conquer other region of China first. From then on, two culture began to mix with eachother.
230. bob obo: money ~~~!!!!
231. tengma8: No legel base? So can you found me a map, that is published before 1951, and mark Tibet as independent from China? Tibet was a part of China for centuries, in 1911 there are a civil war where all different local governments, political parties, landlords and war lords get their own army and fight each other. the Winner of the Civil war is a group called communist, if they win the civil war, they have legel base to rule all of China, including Tibet!
232. ludaborn: yes give them “freedom" let them be slave of lama ,let them eat shit of lama ,let a 12years girl be the sex companion of lama and go back to feudalism . Isn't this basic of human right ?
233. Yihong Theis: Fool people! After Tibet independent, Tibet will be invaded by OTHER Developed COUNTRIES! Don't be fooled as Taiwan, OK? China gave you more support and development, 56 ethnic groups can make the country more stronger. Are you really think you would be have good life after independent? No, totally not, you would be worse than right now! Whoever want to free Tibet, except who want to be president in Tibet, otherwise they fooled by some people who want to get the top power! However, do they really think they can get real power after independent? Absolutely not! They would be controlled by other developed countries until Tibet changed to be a colony! Please wake up, People!
234. tenzin wangdi: thats right. tibetans should rule over chinese majority becuase tibetans are benevolent rulers and chinese are good workers. problem solved.
235. YESHI wangmo: B4 u dumnfuckers talk shit about tibet , I want u go to tibet and see for ur self of how the people are treated there. Chinese government say "tibetan living in tibet are very happy and they have freedom"..... fuckkng lairs. Freedom ? Have u seen how the fking Chinese military treat the people pf tibet, they treat them like non- humans. And for god sake! Tibet is not fucking part of china ( the monster) we speak totally different language....... idiots Chinese in china don't know shit. There governments lies to them 24/7 and they don't even realize it even when there's proof right in front of them. Idiots But not only to humans ,..there even violents against animals for god sake..
236. Tom Nancy: You can't impose your ideology of the state of utopia just as Tibetans don't impose theirs on you. Just like you consider modernity and cardboard meat a bliss, to a Tibetan it is yak butter, cheese and yurt..as far as working hard is concerned, it takes lot more hardwork to tend animals than manufacturing fake nike, adultrating milk, poisoning toys...and tibetans never felt being enslaved prior to chinese intrusion..they are the happiest lot!!
237. eiji kenji: the only reason why china keep tibet  as part of its territory because tibet is part of china. tibet is a chinese territory as simple as that i cant understand why white invader keep native american land as their land?
238. Geostrategic1: Recall the Red in Red China whenever you read 'Made in China .
239. twenlil: Like VC fight against the Yanks ,,, fight like a man ? Hiding like some sewage rat !
240. reiVond: Secondly, whilst Australia has taken huge steps to repair the damage done to the indigenous people, historically it was hardly a walk in the park for them as your post suggests. The Aboriginals had their lands torn from them and they as a people were destroyed and are now only a small voice in modern Australia. I believe this is similarly true with Native indians of USA. The Chinese are hardly culling the tibetans to the last man but rather using a heaviy hand on voices of dissent.
241. dorje168: Using a software application that cost $3 million yuan ($490,000), Tang searches for key words specified by his company's clients, monitors negative opinions and then compiles a report. READ: Chinese web giants join forces in crackdown on 'online rumors'
242. MrWhiteiscolour: Neither do you nor I have seen or heard a single Tibetan in this world saying Tibet is part of China or claiming he or she is a Chinese. Do you have evidence that we are not united? what that will be?
243. YaoMIngdix Shanghai: Xiyu Tian agree with you brother. Without China the Tibet will be extremly poor, no railway and others modernity. Fake monk  Dalai the dumbutt don't give a fuck about Tibetan life nor freedom, he just care about his bank account and misstress.
244. Vishnu charan reddy: expected way and for them the way will be GOD. Once in past GOD gave them pass to live a meaningful life and now GOD himself will give them a FULLSTOP for one will be given chance and if one fails to keep it up then the chance of good life will be taken back. the world was not made for them alone to live and if they think that they can torture others then law of attraction brings them back the suffering. crossing borders and snatching lands is barbaric and will give the same fruit back.
245. qsqqjx: ITS FUNNY HOW SOME AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN TO ASIA TALK ABOUT HOW ASIAN PEOPLE SHOULD DO. I MEAN, HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR GOVERNMENT TOLD YOU IS TRUE? DID YOU KNOW THAT TIBET USED TO HAVE A SLAVERY SYSTEM WHEN DALAI WAS IN POWER? I FEEL SAD FOR YOU GUYS.
246. 刘思汗: In fact,Tibet out of control by China since 1880s,because the shit leader of Dynasty Qing,it was robbed by UK,which attacked China that time,UK goverment can't control tibetans,so they wish tibet independent,just like what they did in India and Pakistan.But remeber Tibet became part of China 1000 years ago,since the Dynasty Yuan,also called Great Mongolia. This is what happened in history,some country called gentleman,but you should see what it did to this world.
247. chandler ma: +NeQHack you are not answering any of the things I said earlier, and you are making no sense at all.
248. Changying Jushi: "we fled to..." ? come on, you and your "we" only accounts for an infinitesimal proportion of Tibetan people. Do not represent other people you cannot represent at all. And give me a figure how many Tibetans were killed by PLA in 1951. And last word for you: Your Dream Is Quite A Remote One and Will Never Come True. Stop Wishful Thinking!
249. 456inthemix: Then read your own history again !
250. CaptainRay: ^^^This guy knows his stuff. Okay guys, pretend you bought a farm. Anyway, some cows in the farm are demanding that half of your farm belong to them, so they start protesting. Your neighbours are being dicks to you for not handing the cows their demand. 1) Would you give up half your farm, there fore your hard-earned money because some cows are demanding it. 2) Would you ignore the cows. That's pretty much the situation for China.
251. Kyle Colon: @h02ctn Your first assertion- Arguably true. Arguably. Your second assertion- Almost laughably laden with rhetoric, on par with that propaganda you seem to despise. Your third assertion - I saw very little in the way of "propaganda", especially on this video. Suprising you would mention it on this one in particular. Try not to trash Ron Paul's name by making these uneducated assertions, then linking to one of his vids. Your hurting his cause.
252. kardhon: Dan rest go to HELL .. i guess :)
253. tenzin wangdi: thats right. and tibetans should be rulers and the han majority live and work under the tibetans. because the chinese are good workers and tibetans are benevolent rulers. problem solved.
254. AlternityGM: The reality is that Tibet was never historically part of China. Even the Manchu Qing Empire did not view Tibet as part of China. Tibet was indiputably independent after 1912 and the PRC invaded Tibet in 1950 forcing Tibet to sign the 17 Point Agreement. Severe Chinese human rights violations have been recorded in Tibet since 1950. Tibet today is ruled as a colony of China & Tibetans have no human rights.
255. altarush: Resources. I wonder what would happened if they do get their independence, will they treat the Chinese any better or Christian Tibetians?
256. qwer8456: I heard that the Native Indians in America protesting for their rights got ended forcibly by the American governments.
257. 456inthemix: Yust read the book of Jung Chang& Jon Halliday: MAO !
258. Jason Gafar: Linking China to southeast Asia? Since when does Tibet connect China to Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, or even Indonesia? 
259. reiVond: PreChinaTibet, was a theocracy that so many internet warriors fail to mention. Under the god incarnate Dalai lama, all men were his slaves. China may have many points for criticism but it is undeniable that they have brought prosperity to many tibetans. A recent documentary revealed a woman who now is able to grow crops, sell it and feed her family and have so much left over.These are paradigms people fail to note for a balanced view. Tibet now also has a university and schools for its children
260. ge ten: see in china why cheap labour in china because your govt policy,and many sucide in factory more worst than slavery even in 21 century.your coming in tibet more worst than slavery.you got it
261. Rouxlas: Oh and acts such as murder are like cutting your nails once and a while?
262. TheTenzii1: +obsidianstatue. Hey Is China part of Japan?? If not then why tibet of China. Remember?? usa helping China whn japenes were Killin Chinees??? chinese were crying dieing. But when China do to tibetans they thinks uno shouldnt intrefer.
263. JsanDJ001: You are brainwashed. Why are you so full of hate and anger, when the Tibetans are so full of love and compassion. It does'nt matter what spin you Chinese continue to try to put on the situation in Tibet. The truth is you stole a peace loving country and committed genocide, and then lied about it. Shame on you
264. N Na: Tibet was an independent country until Chinese invaded Tibet. Our culture n tradition are not similar to Chinese. by the way we don't eat rats, cockroaches, frogs,dogs,cats,babies n what other stuff Chinese eat. When my country Tibet was invaded, our people were killed, our temples,house destroyed n so we fled to other countries. Not only that Tibet people inside TIbet are still being tortured. My only goal in life is work towards FREE TIBET n to free my people from cruel RED Chinese rule.
265. Dane Calderon: Yeah that's realistic. I'll go free Tibet and you go stop the fight over Gaza and we'll share a nobel peace prize.
266. Daigon: give back tibet to russia it belongs to us
267. sdushdiu: Sorry, but it would do mote than look at Spanish colonial claims you would discover that it was the people local to those regions, especially Texas, who fought for their independence from the colonial power. The US did not seize Texas. Texas was an independent country before becoming a state in the US.
268. Dane Calderon: We keep Hawaii because its near East Asia so we have a naval presence in the region. Does China have military installations in Tibet?
269. Khitish Kumar Bhol: continued.. Sikkim was British India's & then India' Protectorate. It's 61% population are Hinduism. Sikkim became part of India because of the Sikkimese monarchy referendum, 1975- with 97.5% vote to establish democracy by abolishing the monarchy. It is now Indian state with it's representative in our parliament. It is among the fastest-growing states of India. So shut the F*ck up.
270. sersarsor: yo why the fuck did you show a picture from the 1950's when you're talkin about the Qing Dynasty??
271. netdog713: It is always wrong to invade someone else's land for greed, ESPECIALLY WITH THE USE OF VIOLENCE! The U.S. did very little to help Tibet outside of training some Tibetan guerrillas in the mountains of Colorado, yet they sent whole armies to Korea and Vietnam. It is a very sad situation and no matter what explanations or excuses the Chinese government may give, it is blatantly wrong to have "annexed" Tibet.
272. DorianGrayism: I know what your point is. You just repeated what I wrote in my previous post. My point is....why would you expect them to want it for other reasons? Every other nation is based upon greed and selfishness and for some magical reason, you expect Tibet to be different.
273. conor845: Can you please stop with the cursing, my geography class come here to view the video.
274. Sikkim True: Every strong country in the past, present and future has engulfed and annexed the weaker neighbor, haha... so whats the big deal with Tibet and China. Such hypocrites.
275. touvangfue lee: THE PROBLEM TIBETANS NEED PEACEFUL BECAUSE CHINA IS A DETECTOR SHIP, NO HUMAN RIGHT, TAKE OVER LAND, PROPERTIES THAT'S WHY THE ETHNIC GROUP, CHINA'S NEIGHBOR REALLY HATE, AND NOW BIG PROBLEM IN SOUTH CHINA SEA. 300 YRS AGO MEO OR NOW HMONG FLED TO LAOS, THAILAND, BURMA AND VIETNAM, THE HMONG GET KILL MANY THOUSAND, CHINESE CROOK ,POOR HUMAN RIGHT. THE HMONG VOTE UP FOR TIBET.
276. William Wu: i am chinese hated Tibeten,
277. R Srosh: Please hep Tibet everyone, its pathetic to see these noble people etch in the streets of India , among an alien culture and dependent of handouts of sympathizers and Buddhists. You all fight for the Kingdom of God in Israel...why not strive for a cause , more real, more noble, the cause of the Tibetan "chosen" people in Exile.
278. Mish. Michelle: @oi pochana are you an idiot? You know how much the us and japan rely on china's alliance that they cannot offend the Chinese? I'm not saying what the Chinese are doing is right ( because obviously my parents left china for a reason). It's just we americans rely so much on Chinese goods and owe so much money we can't afford to punish china.
279. IsaacSamo: As far as I know it was India who helped and supported the Tibetan government in exile...since 1910 or something. But don´t get me wrong; I have no doubts why would any government (Eastern or Western) support anyone or anything. It is always about profit (of some kind)..
280. TheTranceCartel: Tibet WAS NOT, IS NOT, AND WILL NEVER BE PART OF CHINA (at least, in any other definition but a legal one)!!!
281. Emma Esther Rodriguez Orticochea: No crean que ese repentino amor para proteger a nuestros indígenas se lo cree alguien. Sabemos el 99 % vienen por riquezas con el cuento de la ayuda Humanitaria. Ahora el Rey de España vino con empresarios Españoles por trabajo. No vino a solucionar problemas del pueblo Español. Fue a Brasil que es una potencia (aunque les digan bananeros) y Chile porque el presidente es fascista. Cuando me refiero al 90 % el 10 % Se lo reservo para Daniel De Barandiaran "Los hijos de la Luna"y Steve Gorzula
282. Allahu Akbar: You also forgot to mention that the Dalai Lama is an agent of the CIA as proven by declassified CIA documentations. That's a big fact. Also, please learn to understand sarcasm. The Dalai Lama is such a big nutjob that it turns an opinion into a FACT. Notice how I capitalized the word "fact?" So why don't you get off youtube and grab a dictionary, or better yet, go to school.
283. dorje168: Lhundup, 19; and Jampa, a 20 year-old nun; were arrested by County officials from Yarding Township on October 15. Following their arrest, local Tibetans visited the local police station and appealed for their release. However, their current condition and whereabouts remain unknown. Chinese police allege that the two sent information about recent incidents in Driru to "separatists," a term used by Chinese government for exile Tibetans.
284. mhlck: Don't you know everybody can easily edit Wikipedia? It's nothing more than CCP's propaganda. Only idiots believe in.
285. TheMightyGuri: so from xia till the yuan, tibet and china were both independent states before they came under control of the mongols, and not china ruled over tibet... that makes over 4000 years of an NOT CHINESE controlled and independent tibet! and do not forget the peace treaty between china and tibet during the tang dynasty tibet is not a legitimate state of china, its under illegal military occupation!!! shame on china and all the lying chinese
286. TheMiddleKingdom: The Chinese controlled over Tibet area since the 13th century;  well before European people were colony around the world..  Most importantly, the Tibetan people are related to the Chinese than those Indian people.
287. omnidivisible: Another important legal and moral question is why is the West spending their tax payers' money supporting an illegal Tibetan government-in-exile and a cottage industry of human rights terrorist groups when these nations recognize Tibet as a part of China?
288. Wayne Tong: Countries with hidden agenda want Tibet independent. Not truly for human right but repeat what Japan had done to Manchuria, created puppet govt. Manchukuo. Outsiders must understand, Tibet is too important for China to separate because the origins of China's 2 major rivers Yangtze & Yellow River are in Tibet. If there's chao in Tibet, China's blood stream is in trouble as well. Tibet's one of China's 5 major tribes like a hand with 5 fingers. Nobody wants to miss a finger.
289. freedom77: that don't make it right
290. shadenet1989: i would love to go to tibet, but the FACT of the matter is if i do end up going back ill be imprisoned and tortured, why do u think im living somewhere where im free to practice my beliefs? and i base my arguments from CIA and FBI records that have confirmed the death of over a million tibetans since the take over by china, and frankly id rather believe a credible source rather than some nut on youtube that makes bullshit claims
291. Yan zen: What is your point?Fuck with us?We don't want to destroy Tibetan culture.We are buddhist too.Chinese people can live anywhere they want to,Tibetans can also live in any part of China,freely.Tibet belongs to those who live here,not only original Tibetans.If you want to move off these people and ask for independence,first you should know how much you will pay for this if you are clever enough.It is not imperialism.Separatism is every where not only in China.
292. Allahu Akbar: Why do you keep replying to that nutjob lol. He is swiss and he is dumb and he is dodging your questions.
293. MATT K: look! a retard !!
294. dorje168: when relaying information about individuals from these areas. For instance, the secret code for Diru County is “A”. It appears that each county in Nagchu Prefecture has been assigned a secret code for police surveillance. The notification seeks to bring Nagchu Tibetans in Lhasa particularly those visiting and living in the traditional Tibetan neighborhood under 24-hour police surveillance, according to the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy.
295. Allahu Akbar: They want a "Free Tibet" for their own selfish reasons. They've been doing so since 1959. Human rights abuse does not justify separating Tibet from China. We see a lot of human rights abuse in the US, but I don't see anyone paying much attention to that. One things for sure, countries don't want a strong and united China. Oh and btw, you'd rather reply to a comment I made 3 months ago instead of the most recent reply I made to you. This just goes to show I'm making a good point.
296. Naiwen Ashera: yes. and America's want to dominate China, and Asia. 
297. Tenzin Choerab: Watever didn't get y mathew k
298. Seungheun Cheon: Yes Mao "helped" the Tibetian people. Yes he Kiled more than 60million peopled and he destroyed 25% of chines curtural but I'm sure he improved the Tibetian lives by destroying 6000 of their temples.
299. omnidivisible: This is about the stupidest question. It's like asking why are the Confederates States of America important to the United States. The more relevant question is why are the Anglo-American and European war criminals interested in "perceived" ethnic conflict and foreign intrusion in Tibet?
300. bob g: done for you liar! Tibet had not belonged to China and will not be the copyright of! the whole world against the rising Chinese locusts infest the whole world! China is a cancer! We all know how brutally destroy the Tibetans and Chinese, he soon for all the answers!
301. Hea Jung kim: chinese should learn how white americans killed all native americans, and rob their land and properties, hahaha
302. ohwen01: tibet and Philippines claims a territory fack china
303. yuubokumin415: Chinese lie, cheat, and steal!!! The Tibetan people hate your guts, and so do most of the people in Asia and Europe. Africans think you are just using them!!! Latin America thinks Chinese are racist and dirty. Free Tibet!!!
304. TheTenzii1: Hey Allah hu akbar. Why u hate us?? (tibetans) or do u love China too much.. Watever its cool. But why are u saying China has Done good to tibet?? Or developing?? My family Still suffering there in tibet with no freedom of speech or religion. Chinees soldier and spy everywhere in tibet. I Cant even talk Well with them. U think u know all by internet??? Where u actually from?? Ur grand parents?? usa are wasting money to u.
305. 456inthemix: Ypour real enemy is CCP corrupt leaders and go on war with Syria your bosom buddy, same attitude and mental awareness. And carry on Mao legacy to tule the world by any means, bullying cheating lying .
306. YaoMIngdix Shanghai: Chinese culture have strong influence in the South Asia more than India. India don't have much influence over southeast Asia, even Buddhism is not solely India culture, but its was Nepal. Even muslim culture have stronger influence into South East Asia than India. Pasta is copycat of Chinese noodle by westerner Marco Polo, that he went to China during the peak of Yuan Dynasty. Chinese culture influence from Japan to Burma (east- West) Mongolia to Indonesia from the ( North - South )
307. xhyugunx: Bad example...but I agree. Quebec is too important to just let go. Canada would never let that happen. It's the same with Tibet and China. But the fact that china has mistreated Tibetans doesn't help...Also with the fact that India is poking it's nose in China's business.
308. jack rowet: Yes, and in response China tried to invade Vietnam, and lost 24,000 troops in 6 weeks, versus vietnams 6000. China got bitten!
309. Sonny Sun: finally a piece of source that has no bias, ty for uploading this objective source :D
310. TheMightyGuri: "They ran around in mobs attacking people in 2008" oh those bad tibetans, after being robbed, killed and tortured by the han chinese since 1950, they dared to fight back in 2008! how could they! they should let the peace loving han chinese who never hurt anybody rob them, kill them and torture them without doing anything.... this is how chinese are, lying people who have no heart, no compassion and dont know what peace and property is
311. Allahu Akbar: cool, why don't you continue believing that, while China continues to rule Tibet. Problem solved.
312. Ihat bullshit: you sounded like a good primary school teacher but never get promoted because of your intelligent level.
313. TheMightyGuri: come on, show us how you've researched the bullshit you believe by giving us some insight into your knowledge about it :) dont worry, your face cant fall off twice
314. Vishnu charan reddy: where gods forgiveness has reached to a stage where these people have to be taught a lesson for being so evil that they have way back crossed the limits of being least human as possible. they should be let known that EVEN GODS TEACHING OF FORGIVENESS HAS A LIMIT AND THEN GOD HIMSELF TELLS U THAT U R WRONG AND HAVE TO PAY THE CONSEQUENCES FOR BEING WRONG. There is an answer for what China is trying to do to both INDIA and BUDDHISM and one cannot play evil for very long. answer comes in least
315. alfredzlee: And you are obviously retarded as a Chinese...
316. Luiwoi ERR: yes, actually they should do that, human right? freedom?
317. Wayne Tong: Most African countries are very happy to do business with China. They find China is a much better partner to work with. China has helped Africans to build infra-structures etc. etc. for decades already. You are very ignorant. Wait and see, China is rising and Japan is falling due to arrogance.
318. hope optimisim: never thought would be that passionate about this.+tax!
319. mhlck: Never
320. Wayne Tong: World politics is brutal. Japan occupied Taiwan & Okinawa when Ching Dynasty was weak. Manchukuo was a base to invade China mainland. Mongolia went independence by force from Soviet and then Tibet call of separation was attempts to contain, to look over China from highest ground. Golden Rule -there are always aggressors out there plotting to walk over your country by different dirty tricks, tactics for their own benefits. Love & treasure your own country.
321. Cancayate4: Seungheun Cheon1 year ago 《==rofl. you need to learn some math. what is chinese population that time. 60millions, 25%, rofl. even 32 died in east indian, the country is ciaos. rofl. ======================== Seungheun Cheon1 year ago Yes Mao "helped" the Tibetian people. Yes he Kiled more than 60million peopled and he destroyed 25% of chines curtural but I'm sure he improved the Tibetian lives by destroying 6000 of their temples.
322. Wayne Tong: If sincerity is there, I think there must be a way of reconciliation. First & foremost is to identify a peaceful, reliable, effective and mutually accepted channel for good communication.
323. AlternityGM: It's clear Wayne Tong is a member of the 50 Cent Party paid by the PRC to promote the CCP's propaganda and to attack critics of the Chinese Communist Party. He doesn't have independent views but merely parrots the Party line. You want see Mr. Tong ever publicly disagree w/ the CCP on any major domestic or foreign policies.
324. OldSchoolLad: i say china gov't should learn from america, kill all natives and take their land. it's simple.
325. Wayne Tong: I just received the following message from friend -- " Regarding Tibet, I was there in August for 9 days trip. This is a clean, peaceful and safe city so why the government is still being criticized by the Westerns ? " Perhaps people who have doubt should go there for personal experience instead of guessing.
326. JDOG88: Haha, India has enough problems of its own to worry about China. Remember, the guy said that Tibet has so much of Asia's water, right? India is far, far behind China in development. India is too weak to challenge China.
327. Tenzin Choerab: Lol gal plz don't joke around u think u chinese govt helping our Tibetan brother if u haven't noticed u r govt trying to destroy our culture and nature and also don't underestimate us yes we can become strong as other countries if we get our country back and beside tibet had already become colony u r govt taking all our resources and converting Tibetan land in he'll . 😡

329. Oprah SideNiga: Tibet is not part of China... fuck we dont even speak the same language... Like look at India and Pakisthan their languages are pretty close writing and verbal.. Tibetan language and saying are significantly different.. ... holla at me haterz.. im a tibetan in Canada come at me! but dont get glocked before u kno it
330. 123tgw: Why do #Tibetans within #Tibet (what #China calls Tibet Autonomous Province, or TAR ) and in the massive outlying eastern Tibetan provinces of Amdo and Kham - long since completely swallowed up by China which now regards them as part of its own territory (theft) - frequently risk their lives, or at least torture and imprisonment, to demonstrate against harsh rule? Why have so many killed themselves both inside and outside Tibet through the use of self-immolation as a desperate protest of last resort? Ask yourself this question! Propaganda is used by both sides, which makes it difficult for westerners particularly to discover the truth, but some countries like Britain and India (pre-Raj) had independent relations with Tibet long before China invaded in 1950. Centuries earlier Tibet had a special relationship with #Mongolia in which the latter provided for the security of Tibet in return for spiritual protection and guidance. At one stage the Tibetan army even forced the #Chinese emperor to pay dues to Tibet. What has happened to Tibet in recent times, with a view to the broad sweep of history, is the subjugation of Tibet by a post-imperial China currently in the ascendency. I saw an interview with a Chinese woman (many Chinese also suffer under the rule of its communist government) accurately state that there is in reality little difference between the absolutist rule of the former Chinese imperial dynasties and that of today's all-powerful and undemocratic communist regime, which latterly of course has embraced market economics to such a degree that its only real aim and practice is that of the exercising of its own power and control. I can think of no system of government based on the theories of #KarlMarx and #FriedrichEngels that has ever done anything else, despite some worthy aims regarding helping the poor and uneducated. And there is also the key point that #Marx and #Engels advocated #genocide and the destruction of cultural identity as a 'necessary evil'. If you find this hard to believe, look up the documentary called #TheSovietStory on YouTube. For a shorter clip from it explaining this fact, search YouTube for this:~ 'Engels and Marx advocating extermination of "primitive nations" in Neue Rheinische Zeitung (1849)'. Karl Marx:~ "The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way... They must... perish in the revolutionary #holocaust."
331. dorje168: Tibetans in Chentsa refuse to raise the Chinese flag Some houses in Genkhug village in Tsodruk are seen with the Chinese flag. DHARAMSHALA, October 16: Days after Chinese crackdown on Tibetans in Driru over refusal to hoist Chinese flag Tibetans in Chentsa also defied Chinese authorities’ order to fly the red flag
332. Oprah SideNiga: and india and pakistan are in different countries
333. TheYinWarrior: +YESHI wangmo do you know that the Neo-Nazi dictator of Chile, Augusto Pinochet, who is a close friend of the Dalai Lama, who personally intervened in Spain to get the Butcher of Chile off the hook when he was about to be tried for crimes against humanity in 1998. Another important friend of the Dalai Lama is the Japanese Shoko Asahara, a religious cult leader who was convicted of terrorism in Japan in 1995 after having organized a poison Sarin gas attack in the Tokyo subway. Asahara has been a close associate of the Dalai Lama since meeting him at a ceremony of the Ashun-Su sect in Tokyo. Since then, Asahara met with the Dalai Lama several times and was deeply influenced by the Tibetan leader.Professor  Micheal Parenti writes: "In 1959, Anna Louise Strong visited an exhibition of torture equipment that had been used by the Tibetan overlords. There were handcuffs of all sizes, including small ones for children, and instruments for cutting off noses and ears, gouging out eyes, breaking off hands, and hamstringing legs. There were hot brands, whips, and special implements for disemboweling. The exhibition presented photographs and testimonies of victims who had been blinded or crippled or suffered amputations for thievery. There was the shepherd whose master owed him a reimbursement in yuan and wheat but refused to pay. So he took one of the master’s cows; for this he had his hands severed. Another herdsman, who opposed having his wife taken from him by his lord, had his hands broken off. There were pictures of Communist activists with noses and upper lips cut off, and a woman who was raped and then had her nose sliced away."Fifty years ago, the Tibetan society comprised serfs and slaves (referred to as serfs), who constituted 95 percent of Tibet's total population, and the three kinds of manor lords (referred to as serf owners), who constituted 5% of the total population. The three manor lords were officials (of the local government), feudal lords and the upper stratum of the clergy. They owned all land in Tibet (including farmland, grassland, forests, mountains, rivers, river beaches and wasteland), serfs attached to land, and most livestock. In land distribution, the former Tibetan local government directly managed 40 percent of all land, and feudal lords and monasteries owned 30 percent each, whereas serfs basically had nothing.  A folk song in Tibet sings: "Wherever rays of the sun reach, that is land belonging to the lord; wherever the water flows, that is land belonging to the lord; and wherever mountain shadows cast, that is land belonging to the lord. The serf does not own a piece of land the size of a sole. What he takes away is nothing but his own shadow." This landowning system inevitably led to economic exploitation of the serfs by serf owners. A principal form of such exploitation is corvee labor called wula in Tibetan. dalai lama as a boy, complained about the human skin he sat wasnt fresh enough. this is a fact in their own scribes. dalai lama had killed another lama due to diferent views. this was in india news because the were responsible to investigateand today dalai lama instead of being in tried for court he won the peace nobel prize for having slave when he was governing tibet and friends with the nazis and intervening the trial court to escape justice and still worship htler as god. if china didnt intervene, america wouldve done the same of removing this pedophile by sentencing him life in prison, but for china for them they exile him to india and today society thinks its cruel. this site show what happen in old tibet and the intervening barbaric monk along with all the referece at the bottom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXen6hKNEUo this footage show items of what the dalai lama used in their rituals further knowledge of daramu skull drums. https://factandtruth.wordpress.com/human-rights-of-tibet/ photos of the serf and slaves in tibet and skinning of childrens and other slaves for their ritual  RT news about the dalai lama is a liar according to  dr webster tarpley an america historian who got paid by the CIA to keep him silence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRXFyOh6yzQ also in america, they eat crocodile, aligator, kagaroo, ostrich, ostrich egg, rabbits, squirrels, and the rocky mountain oyster(cows balls), not only that they hunt deers, buck ,bears, seals and skin them up, stuff them up, and hang them up like trophies and ornament, not only that they do animal experiment on cats and dog and many mammals, they even do animal entertainment on horses and bull dog.  even in america they dont treat the black people with human right, there were news about a america cop shot a black man by mistake and hand cuffed him whilst dead and try to make a story up that he stole his electric gun but unfortunately he was filmed by someone else, there are many other black men in america are still not given human rights, not only that u peple did blood diamond, forcing africa slave in digging those diamonds for u red necks, and growing drugs in the eastern european country. and now u people come into china and build factory and making lots of demands and polluting our country and blames it on china authorities "its the chinese communist fault". well if u dont like polluting our homeland then build the factory in ur own country but dont blame us dick heads. and also when there is a problems in some product they still blames it on the chinese make is cheap, when it was design by america people such Mattel product tries to blame its the chinese production fault, then the company in america gets sued for blaming the chinese. also its the america who is the greediest people in the damn world as mention before, they have killed loads of native america to blink extinction and the Hawaii people and many other native in australia, not only that they have start so much war ever since they have taken the homeland of the native around the bloody world,look at this site below and u would see how many war u people have made and the list of bombing on the other site.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRXFyOh6yzQ http://www.globalresearch.ca/list-of-countries-the-usa-has-bombed-since-the-end-of-world-war-ii/24626 do have any idea, people like u have taken a lot of peoples homeland even china during world war 2 the allied country invade china in the 1900 then the japanese sino war. not only that, the japanese did human experiment in lab 731, and the CIA of america has not only covered up the japanese atrocities of what they have done, in return they have given the america with the trials of error in biochemical warfare specimens of the side effects, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-Nation_Alliance http://agreenroad.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/unit-731-us-cia-and-military.html
334. IsaacSamo: You have a donkey with multiple penises? Well congratulations then :o))))))
335. TheMiddleKingdom: +mario rossi After I read what you wrote, you have never been to China.  You even responded wrong about  Chinese helped the Tibetan people to kick out the Mongol.( I said the Chinese, during the Qing Dynasty helped the Tibetan people to kick out the British Colonists, not the Mongol ):...AND YOU DON'T KNOW history of China, period.  If you are Indian, then you are being brainwashed by the Western Medias and your Indian medias. After Chinese communist won the civil war against the KMT, the CCP liberated that area from serfdom's class system... and now the majority of Tibetan people are well better off than when Daila Lama ruled his own people.   By the way, Daila Lama once joined the Chinese Communist Party.  Majority of the Chinese in China ALWAYS  consider Tibet is part of China....most of them even linked the history back to Tang's princess married to King of Tibet during the Tang Dynasty, it was more than 1200 years ago.  END OF STORY AND END OF DISCUSSION.
336. Allahu Akbar: Nothing was ever forced. It was either sign the agreement or continue the war and face an unconditional surrender. The Tibetans did the right thing by signing. You also need to understand that the killings were justified because guerrilla warfare ensued (with the help of the CIA) after the signing of the treaty by the Tibetan side. China was not about to sit quietly as the Tibetans violently try to win Tibet back. Don't just look at one part of the picture.
337. Mayjin Shinobi: +Calvin Blue​​ lol, look at you. Barking about facts YET there is no Google, Facebook, Twitter etc. in red china. But there is huge censorship and massive propaganda....I mean u are barking about facts here on YOUTUBE yet this platform is banned in china by the dictatorship of red ccp....pls don't u dare, to talk about facts ever again when ur ccp doesn't even allow u to do proper researches...coward red pigs!!
338. Changying Jushi: Tibet is Chinese territory whether it's important or not. This is the truth and is not gonna change. We treasure every square foot of our land even if it's totally barren. We invest billions in Tibet, and you call this "steal"? Nobody would be so stupid to pay such a high price to "steal" something in his/her own land, idiot!
339. reiVond: What the fuck are you talking about? Why are you talking so much shit? I mean how can you denigrate China's long and ancient history? Commenting on the current state of affairs is one thing but being blatantly racist is another. How much do you know of Aboriginals in Australia? They aren't immolating themselves because they arent stupid and filled with foolish notions of religious zeal.
340. AustralienGuy: @nimabgouzazhong Sadly for China AND India, the real rulers of the world the shadow government, not obama or chairman whoever! Will not allow China or India to rise to supremacy and will start a war with Iran to which China will respond and that will lead a nuclear exchange during which Pakistan and India will fight; When the dust settles China and India will have been annihilated so removing from them the ability to rise to rule. The jobs that the west sent to china return
341. TheMightyGuri: you mean you can't explain why he is a nutjob to you? must be a very elaborated attitude then :) what a surprise yeah the communists kick tibetan ass just like they kick han chinese asses, its a very sad thing that there are still dumbfucks unable to see that
342. MrWhiteiscolour: What is the evidence that Penchen Lama and Dalai Lama have equal political status? Dalai lama ruled Tibetan since Fifth Dalai Lama. Mao and CCP and you know nothing about Religion so don't tell me about religious law. When I see the smoke I can assure that there is a fire. I don't need to see the fire. 56 Self immolation by Tibetan people in the last 2 years that explains enough.
343. Birdland 1: the Dalai lama is a CIA/US tool.
344. Aeros802: Very informative. Can always count on STRATFOR for to point out these important geopolitical matters. Their analysis is amazing. Lets keep it up :).
345. MiddleKingdom: By the way, thanks to ancient Chinese technologies, like gun, gunpowder and so on, the Westerners ( or the white men ), including the Russians could had not able to colony around the world. It was ironic that the Russians used those technologies to rob the Chinese lands ( Northwest China, Outer Manchuria and Sakhalin Island ).
346. Robin Tu: So US is actually just New England.
347. yanguli: You can find the following information in Wikipedia. Eight Chinese divisions joined the battle, and captured some of the northernmost cities in Vietnam. After capturing the northern heights above Lang Son, the Chinese surrounded and paused in front of the city in order to lure the Vietnamese into reinforcing it with units from Cambodia. This had been the main strategic ploy in the Chinese war plan as Deng did not want to risk an escalation involving the Soviets.
348. AlternityGM: We can see the Han chauvinist & colonial mentality of the pro-CCP messages. Tibet is whatever China decides it is but the opinions of us Tibetans are irrelevant or inconsequential. The British, French & Japanese had very similar attitudes during their colonial/imperialist eras to the CCP cadres today. The imperialists don't care about the colonized subjects.
349. MrWhiteiscolour: All the Tibetans are united. China is already dealing with second generation Tibetan. Almost everybody who self immolated in Tibet are younger generation. Chinese arrest, brutality, torture, imprisonment and discrimination of Tibetan people for asking basic human right actually fuels the our spirit inside and outside Tibet. So as long as Chinese barbaric behavior towards Tibetan people continues, Tibetan spirit to fight against China will continue.
350. Jin Hang Cheong: +Stephen Zhao 哇，冷静冷静。的确是他们无理取闹，但中华民族是讲究和平的，不用和那些听不进大脑的人吵。
351. Wayne Tong: Your accusations are wrong (1) I did mention several times Mao made big mistakes screwing up China's economy because hard-core communism and ideology don't work (2) If Japan didn't invade China 1931-1945, Mao won't be in power (3) You are proven the liar .
352. h02ctn: Q. Why is Tibet Important to China? A. Because Tibet is, has and always have been a province of China. Q. Why is the Middle East Important to the Anglo-American interrests? A. Because the West has adopted the Divide and Conquer imperial mindset of dominating the World. Q. Why this BS video? A. Because of the reasons above and other BS propaganda this channal feels obliged to follow.
353. Makabayan Makadiyos: Selfish+Arrogant+Liars+Atheist+Smugglers+The biggest robber of intellectual property in the world= CHINESE GOVERNMENT.... How can this people in government live with 85% of its population is way below poverty line?..of course... expand and conquer new territories... the wider it is, the more resources you have... This is not the stone age.. People today have internet, television, radio and news paperand of course facebook and they know who's the aggressor in this modern world...
354. twenlil: Why is Hawaii important to US ? Why is Texas important to US ? Why is any US state important to US ? Is it because Tibet is part of China ? Look at your own US WW2 film: Why We Fight: The Battle of China for your own answer.
355. TheYinWarrior: +bas kir Professor Micheal Parenti writes:"In 1959, Anna Louise Strong visited an exhibition of torture equipment that had been used by the Tibetan overlords. There were handcuffs of all sizes, including small ones for children, and instruments for cutting off noses and ears, gouging out eyes, breaking off hands, and hamstringing legs. There were hot brands, whips, and special implements for disemboweling. The exhibition presented photographs and testimonies of victims who had been blinded or crippled or suffered amputations for thievery. There was the shepherd whose master owed him a reimbursement in yuan and wheat but refused to pay. So he took one of the master’s cows; for this he had his hands severed. Another herdsman, who opposed having his wife taken from him by his lord, had his hands broken off. There were pictures of Communist activists with noses and upper lips cut off, and a woman who was raped and then had her nose sliced away."Fifty years ago, the Tibetan society comprised serfs and slaves (referred to as serfs), who constituted 95 percent of Tibet's total population, and the three kinds of manor lords (referred to as serf owners), who constituted 5% of the total population. The three manor lords were officials (of the local government), feudal lords and the upper stratum of the clergy. They owned all land in Tibet (including farmland, grassland, forests, mountains, rivers, river beaches and wasteland), serfs attached to land, and most livestock. In land distribution, the former Tibetan local government directly managed 40 percent of all land, and feudal lords and monasteries owned 30 percent each, whereas serfs basically had nothing. A folk song in Tibet sings: "Wherever rays of the sun reach, that is land belonging to the lord; wherever the water flows, that is land belonging to the lord; and wherever mountain shadows cast, that is land belonging to the lord. The serf does not own a piece of land the size of a sole. What he takes away is nothing but his own shadow." This landowning system inevitably led to economic exploitation of the serfs by serf owners. A principal form of such exploitation is corvee labor called wula in Tibetan.dalai lama as a boy, complained about the human skin he sat wasnt fresh enough. this is a fact in their own scribes. dalai lama had killed another lama due to diferent views. this was in india news because the were responsible to investigateand today dalai lama instead of being tried for court he won the peace noble prize for owning slave when he was governing tibet and friends with the nazis and intervening the trial court to escape justice and still worship htler as god. if china didnt intervene, america wouldve done the same of removing this pedophile by sentencing him life in prison, but for china for them they exile him to india and today society thinks its cruel. do you know that the Neo-Nazi dictator of Chile, Augusto Pinochet, who is a close friend of the Dalai Lama, who personally intervened in Spain to get the Butcher of Chile off the hook when he was about to be tried for crimes against humanity in 1998.Another important friend of the Dalai Lama is the Japanese Shoko Asahara, a religious cult leader who was convicted of terrorism in Japan in 1995 after having organized a poison Sarin gas attack in the Tokyo subway.Asahara has been a close associate of the Dalai Lama since meeting him at a ceremony of the Ashun-Su sect in Tokyo. Since then, Asahara met with the Dalai Lama several times and was deeply influenced by the Tibetan leader.@2012 this site show what happen in old tibet and the intervening barbaric monk along with all the referece at the bottom.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXen6hKNEUo this footage show items of what the dalai lama used in their rituals@1383 further knowledge of daramu skull drums.https://factandtruth.wordpress.com/human-rights-of-tibet/ photos of the serf and slaves in tibet and skinning of childrens and other slaves for their ritual RT news about the cult dalai lama  https://www.youtube.com/watch… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRXFyOh6yzQwhen the rebellion of the Tibetan aristocracy against the Communist Chinese administration failed in 1959, the CIA helped the Dalai Lama and his cronies to escape to India where he set up a ‘government-in-exile’. In 1998, the Los Angeles Times reported that declassified US government documents prove that the Dalai Lama’s Tibetan Independence movement was a CIA operation. The article stated:The budget figures for the CIA’s Tibetan program are contained in a memo dated Jan. 9, 1964. It was evidently written to help justify continued funding for the clandestine intelligence operation.Support of 2,100 Tibetan guerrillas based in Nepal: $500,000,” the document says. “Subsidy to the Dalai Lama: $180,000.” After listing several other costs, it concludes: “Total: $1,735,000.” The files show that this budget request was approved soon afterward.22The US government wanted to use Tibet to weaken China and the same concerns are driving the ‘Free Tibet’ scam today. Europe and the United States are promoting the Dalai Lama in order to demonise China, whose development the West fears. According to the Los Angeles Times article, the Tibetan separatist guerillas were trained in Colorado USA and in Nepal with the help of Indian intelligence. The Dalai Lama is a militant not a pacifist, a religious fanatic not a moderate, a tyrant not a democrat. The covert war being waged by the US against China has erupted intermittently over the years.On March 18th, 2008 rioters took to the streets of Tibet’s capital Lhasa looting shops, burning schools and attacking innocent civilians throughout the city. Chinese state television showed horrific pictures of Tibetan rioters stoning people to death on the streets. Smashing peoples’ skulls was the Tibetan “protestors” preferred form of execution. The Tibetan hooligans set fire to over 200 residential houses and shops and more than 80 vehicles. Even Chinese fire fighters were the object of aggression with fire engines being set on fire.Meanwhile, our so called “free press” presented the Tibetan aggression as a violent “crackdown” by the big bad Chinese government on the “peaceful” Tibetan protestors. The BBC and CNN manipulated images to portray the Chinese police as the aggressors.
356. Muhemmet Nasyrov: As a Uighur, I hope that Tibetans and Uighur can join forces and fight back against Chinese colonialism and occupation. We will drive the undemocratic pigs out of our homelands to save ourselves from extinction.
357. MATT K: 台灣人躺著也中槍
358. MueraTelevisa: No, what does mean is that England should get out of Australia and US.
359. Shark rider: tibet is part of china,no doubt about it.who ever not recognize it is either stupid or dumb.
360. obsidianstatue: this video has some fundamental flaws, number 1 tibet has been under imperial Chinese sovereignty since at least 1710. when these western propagandists understand this historical fact they'll know there is no basis for the separatist activity.
361. Wayne Tong: The world should know the history and who is the real aggressor. China was way too kind to Japan in WW 2 . Indemnity was zero for 14-years Invasion. In comparison, let's look at how much Japan demanded China for indemnity for the 1st Sino-Japanese War ( sea battle) 1894. Treaty of himonosekiover《馬關條約 - China was forced to pay whooping 8,500 tons of Silver + Taiwan Island to Japan.
362. Wayne Tong: (2) When Mao took control of China & Chiang moved to Taiwan, all things were chaotic. US offered Chiang Atomic Bombs to fight Mao & plots of outside interest to urge Tibet people to separate from Red China. Due to such urgency, Mao ordered 30,000 troops go to Tibet. The weather & natural elements were extreme hash, more than half of the soldiers perished on the way. That was how panicking the situation was. There was fierce fighting & a British band was caught & sentenced.
363. omnidivisible: Unfortunately you are not getting real news but corportist media Hollywood MI6-CIA-NED-NGO Free Tibet human rights disinformation propaganda. Check out the numerous UNPOLITICAL travelogs of Tibetan areas in China where human rights, traditional cultures and modern lifestyle co-exist that's not happening in Old Tibet, India, or the US. For one thing animals in Tibetan areas in China still graze and eat grass.
364. MiddleKingdom: The Russian also robbed lands north and east of Heilongjiang ( Amur River ) when China was weak while she occupied in the Opium Wars against the British and French. The Chinese should had took it back just right before the Soviet Union collapsed or after the Soviet Union collapsed. In other word, the Chinese should had took their lands back when the Soviet Russia was weak; what it was go around and it would come around. The Chinese missed the opportunity to do it.
365. Wayne Tong: Dr. Shen Yat Sun was the founder of new China. Both Mao & Chang adorned him as new China's greatest leader.When Ching Dynasty was overturned in 1911, one design of China's new national flag for final selection contained 5 color strips. Each strip symbolized one major tribes.Tibet was one of China's 5 major tribes. That design was not chosen eventually because China actually comprised of over 50 tribes.However that historical design concept confirmed Tibet status in China. .
366. shadenet1989: many tibetans support china? what world are u living in kid, and you havent answered my question about why a chinese kid like yourself is so happy living in a FREE DEMOCRATIC country like the UNITED STATES instead of china? all you are is a sad convoluted loyalist that lives off hypocrisy, you dont even have any credentials to your claims, secondly stick to the argument, guns wtf?? ill tell you whats unfair, the murder of a million of my people since the hostile take over of tibet dumbshit
367. 修炼: You are pure anti-China elements,You do not know Chinese history。You do not understand the situation in China。China is a multinational country！To be honest, your words are extreme stupid ! 接下来老子用中文告诉你，别让我见到你，否则我一定和你拼个你死我活！
368. reiVond: The native indian comment was a response to cuaba1 pretending to know shit about aboriginals. CCP is behind in it's management of issues, it is not up to standard and has many flaws that is undeniable but this stems from its own unique situation and success in one country cant be applied to another. You can't expect China to radically change its policies. Old habits die hard. Nor should people count on China, as a superpower, to keel over because of a few dissidents
369. Changying Jushi: In our eye, maybe in Sikkim's and Pakistan's eye, India is a true imperialist country that claims things they are not entitled and always bullying its neighbors. And indians want an independent Tibet just because they feel insecure in face of China and therefore they need a buffer zone.
370. Andreas Hansen: Good information. Good choice to spread some light on the wierd things that has "always been there", like China and Tibet. Im hoping you will give a snack-size rundown on the different warring parts of the african conflicts. I dont mean to sound indifferent, but its hard to invest one's spare time and thoughts on something youre uninformed about. I need a sparkplug to ignite my interest. Yeah, Rodger Baker should lead a new segment on Stratfor focusing on all the forgotten stuff, good and bad.
371. jack rowet: Why does China pay people to respond to youtube comments?
372. Bill Xia: pretty objective in this one
373. TheMightyGuri: i ment to say: china claiming tibet as part of china because china and tibet were both vassals of the mongolian empire in the 13th century is like germany claims france to be part of germany because both were vassals of the roman empire this is backwards china thinking - we are an empire, not a modern state
374. TheMightyGuri: as if i just would listen to what other say about things and not checking it for myself :) if i would do that, i may still believe tibet was always part of china before 1950 like some dumbass chinese do make one reasonable example why the dalai lama is a nutjob that doesnt come from chinese fake propaganda :)
375. Tenzin T: Learn how to spell properly before trying to make your point. Dumbass.
376. Maya Green: Lucky you that nobody knows who you are! Otherwise you will be ashamed. Do not speak of something that you are ignorant or misinformed... Look around!! Be an educated guest rather than stupid... No one knows you but you know yourself... Be true to yourself....
377. Zhou jay: these kind of country is more easily to open a war ,because the govenment can control social opinion. but ,just like american guns. there are no bad gun ,just bad person. why u guys try to belive a country wanna to invade other country? we are all ordinary person, we love peace. and there are more than 10，000，000 Christians in china ,and its a Conservative figure. y know that ?
378. Dark PePe: Good analysis, sovereignty over Tibet does seem vital for China.
379. Jazz 6703: Hea Jung kim you explain how America done before in usa now chinese following same styles following in tibet tocher ingenious
380. alfredzlee: where did all those Hawaii go? Killed like native Indians...
381. Abhi Dwivedi: Tibet is  integral part of india one day tibet rejoin india jai hind
382. 456inthemix: Chinas:"Peaceful Liberation is just a pretex" we know you want the "Western Treasure Land" LOL There isn't "a Tibetan Tribe" and no one want's to give own finger freely LOL Japan and the Western owned your finger for a short period so both Manchu& the Yuan too. :-) Do not twist the truth !
383. yanguli: Don't forget Penchen Lama is an equal religious leader to Dalai Lama in Tibet. And after Dalai die, you must find the successor inside Tibet according to the religious law. How can you find the successor without entering in Tibet? Have you ever been to Tibet by yourself? If you haven't, your words are nonsense.
384. UFC FAN: Bullshit you commie bitch
385. Meepomeepo: depends, Australia never want to be apart of USA. Tibet dont want a part of china. Same as hongkong dont want china.
386. Jason Gafar: +Akin Khoo we obviously aren't living on the same planet. Just the word dictatorship within the same sentence as the Tibetan gov't is ridiculous.
387. TheMightyGuri: "Also, ever heard of the Succession of States Theory?" so you mean when the mongols ruled over china during the 13th century that china also never succeeded from that? so lets give china back to the mongols then?? why not following your false logic here?
388. TacticusPrime: National pride is the key element of the lie that the Chinese imperialists have sold to their people. That is what I am denouncing. Obviously, the Chinese occupation and colonization of Tibet is about strategic interests. So?
389. reiVond: well at least thats when you went to jail. Precommunism tibetan theocracy had you castrated anyway.
390. N Na: Mr Liu, Didn't you hear how Chinese government is not letting any media into Tibet. The answer and the solution to your 1st your first question lies with Your government.
391. Pierse Maulgrim: +Stephen Zhao I agree. It is painfully obvious how stupid some people are. Tibet independence, what a joke!
392. Tashi Dorjee: Great video! Very informative vids.Thanks for uploading.
393. TacticusPrime: I didn't fucking do it. My ancestors have fuck all to do with me. Besides, it's not a goddamn cruelty competition. Any cruelty is too much cruelty. This is another disease of the nationalist mind, the collective blame and collective success for things that you had fucking nothing to do with.
394. Bao Tran: Vietnam was never part of China. You need to get your history fact straight. Yes, China invaded Vietnam in the past by the Ming Dynasty in 111 BC but the Trung sister kicked your Chinese ass out off Vietnam in 938 AD. Then China invaded VN again & again & being kicked out by Ly Nam De (second domination under Liang Dynasty), was being kicked out by Ngo Quyen (third domination under the Tang Dynasty) then kicked out by Le Loi with the famous Battle of Bach Dang River. You see China is a monster who keeps invading its neighbors & claims its territories. Histories has proved it, we Vietnamese people will alway fight off the Chinese for our sovereignty. In short Vietnam was never any part of China.
395. bisugu23: it's just a greed behavior of china,he only knows how to bully smaller country,he's becoming arrogant no wonder heavens getting mad over this country from frequent earthquakes,heatwaves,pollution,floods all they think is about money and power.
396. Dark PePe: More countries trust China than India. You should look up on the history of Assam, Nagaland, Manipur, Khalistan, and Kashmir, whose land you STOLE. The only reason you back the Dalai Lama is because he's useful to you as a puppet.
397. yanguli: Vietnam had a battle with China, and you totally lost. so?
398. Wayne Tong: Oh, poor guy. They shoot down UFO by missiles. By Tibetan funeral, the dead body is chopped up to pieces to feed the eagles. Sorry, you shouldn't end up like that.
399. Mike Kollin: Whoever Controls the Dragon Tail, Controls the world! Tibet is the Dragon Tail. Tibet is the Tail Chakra of the world!
400. balkoth03: please ask god for better grammer.
401. qsqqjx: and if there should be someone to blame for the low salary, its those greedy american business man who took away most of the profits and left little for people who make them. also i can tell you that the factory in which a lot of people committed suicide is a taiwanese factory. and taiwan is a country which thrived under your government's kinda "democracy". you got it.
402. TheMightyGuri: what about the UN Resolution 1723 (XVI) on Tibet from 1961, as you always claim the world disagrees??? explain that to us here please
403. 456inthemix: The "Americans" were europeans and also chinese who built the railroads and were cooks etc. Australia and New Zealand were not invented, altough all 3 countries should be given back to the aborginals and China should be returned back to Mongolia or Manchu !
404. Wayne Tong: Cold winter as your reason for China's withdrawal was groundless. China troops had fought in Korea War faced much more harsh winter conditions. Plus Chinese troops could have fought all the way to New Delhi in spring. Why withdrawal for good ? The real reason for China's retreat was to make point but to "save face" for India to seek more long-lasting peace between India & China. The same rationale for China vs N Vietnam, as Deng said the fighting was to teach them a lesson, not an invasion.
405. tenkyi08: yeah tibet was never a part of china! tibet need the freedom it deserves. UN should help them. there had been 50 something self immolation because of the tourture in tibet by the chinese people! FREE TIBET!!
406. TheMightyGuri: and the roman empire is another excuse you just use to justify the illegal occupation of tibet by the chinese imperialistic clown party! china had never control of tibet before they marched into amdo in 1950 and started their illegal military occupation of it the roman empire was, just as you said, an empire... mordern states are not empires :) the yuan dynasty was the mongolian empire that ruled over china and tibet, mongolia is a modern state now, while china is backwards and claims empire
407. 2bfreeism: china gets away with so much crime
408. omnidivisible: And if you research and compare and contrast the Chinese domestic and foreign policy (East) and the American foreign policy (West) after WWII and the consistency of their record or results, they may both be profit-driven but are very different. The Communist Chinese are for peaceful co-existence and collaboration and the American corporatist media military industrial complex has lied their way into every war and invasion since WWII.
409. lavie maintenant: Tibet is part of China! You foreign devils must stop trying to break up China. Jeez, there's so much to life than worrying about others' problems and agonies. Just be concerned about making lots of money and fucking the girls: that's what's really important in life.
410. arbide3: Tibet is China. And anyway China is only a western name. It used to be "all under heaven' and then became "the middle kingdom" but never "China."
411. eiji kenji: why the west are so fascinated with tibetan?  there are NO  other oppressed minority in western world? look at your own backward even tibetan born in usa , uk dont have right to practiced their language, cutlure, religion they must behave like typical white .
412. lavie maintenant: This is too good.
413. Wayne Tong: Some countries with hidden agenda want Tibet go independent. Not truly for human right, is to repeat what Japan did in Manchuria, created the puppet govt. Manchukuo. Outsiders must understand, Tibet is too important for China to separate because origins of China's 2 major rivers Yangtze & Yellow River are in Tibet. If there is chaos in Tibet, China's blood stream is in trouble as well. Tibet is one of China's 5 major tribes like a hand with 5 fingers. Nobody wants to miss one finger.
414. qsqqjx: and have you ever been to tibet? living condition for people there is really improved a lot mainly due to the tourism. china built high speed railway to push the tourism to make the area better and a whole lot of investments are on the way because the govmt lowered the tax rate there to encourage development. if you do not know whats happening there and whether your govmt is telling the truth, do not judge, otherwise you are just pathetic.
415. gamer7916: Americans are hypocrites, , would America gave Hawaii independence and restore it into monarchy? Would they gave back the region they took from Mexico? Would you gave the land back to the Natives? America right now is the most imperialistic country, yet their excuse is America needs to help other countries, and you all buy it, but when other countries use this excuse, u call them propaganda, wat a bunch of fat hypocrites
416. Dolma Dickey: Your comment is simply not what meaning is intended。
417. woodensurfer: Tibet is important to China mostly because it is a part of China as recognised at the UN. Qing is over two hundred years ago.
418. TacticusPrime: Nationalism has killed more people than religion, and that is fucking saying something. It's a disease that needs to be eradicated from every corner of the globe. All "nations" are imaginary constructs. Just ask the Occitan in France, the Catalan in Spain, or the Cantonese speaking Hong Kongers in "China". Whether or not Beijing has successfully colonized Tibet and rendered independence impractical is beside the point. There is no legitimacy to Chinese imperialism.
419. vasile grasu: Long live Free Tibet! Long live the Indian-Tibetan Alliance!
420. TheMightyGuri: it is a fact, tibet has never been in contact with china from Xia till the Yuan, BUT, tibet beside parts of korea, siberia and upper burma became earlier components of the mongolian empire from 1271, while song china got conquered by the mongols 8 years later in 1279! so tibet not part of china but tibet and china part of the mongolian empire those are facts now be quiet
421. Diwani Kamatoden: China wants to reign in Asia Pacific!
422. Tenzin Choerab: We never ask for u r help so fk off
423. richard bautista: IGNORANT PEOPLE CAN EASILY BE DECEIVED...I SUGGEST YOU WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY FILMS IN YOUTUBE BEFORE YOU ARGUE LIKE AN IDIOTS ...of course the japanese would argue that its all stage by the american..they are being BRAIN WASHED by their government since birth...can you imagine a dignified & honorable respectable man LIKE MR.SHINZO ABE...WOULD DENY THE HISTORICAL RECORD OF THE INVASION OF KOREA...good lord he did not say it is the korean who invaded japan....hahahah
424. sdushdiu: So many making wacked claims ignorant of US history, let alone foreign history.... China is NOT going to cede the region given its strategic important. Deal with it. What would be a huge step forward would be if Tibet were granted a degree of local govt autonomy to establish policies for the local culture provided they do not openly conflict with Chinese national policy. This would include compliance with international treaties & business laws as well.
425. 漢武帝: mhmm. you sound like a Silly pinoy. you guys make good target practice.
426. Bolshevik Carpetbagger: It is not. The Chinese PLA brought Tibet out of a theocratic serfdom into modernization and development. Tibetans lamaists and Uyghur Mujahids can only fight by murdering civilians. They can attempt an uprising Tibetor jihad in Xinjiang, the PLA will only smash them and restore order in a matter of weeks.
427. TheTranceCartel: "These" Tibetans are so stupid, being concerned with their country's illegal occupation by China and all -,-
428. Jason Gafar: This video is very accurate. The narrator highlights some critical points in the Tibet vs China debate. In the end, even if pro-Chinese were right about Tibetans lying about their history, thus voiding their legal claim to the plateau, it isn't Tibet creating human rights violations, stealing mineral wealth, or destroying religion - it's China. 
429. Caskader: The globe is a jungle, and man is a beast - actually man is worse, even the most horrible beast couldn't destroy the jungle.
430. TheMightyGuri: so UN resolutions are irrelevant but the recognition that tibet is part of china by the UN is not??? :) look what we have here mr. cherry picking. facts that support the lie are okay, facts that oppose the lie are not relevant right?? welcome to made in china truth
431. TheTranceCartel: China's rule is an illegal occupation, and East Turkestan is fighting back, they're not going to sit down, and when Tibetan people see this they'll stand up two and you'll need to cut off three stars off your flag since Inner Mongolia isn't going to take shit anymore either
432. yuubokumin415: Chinese lie, cheat, and steal!!! The Tibet people don't want you or your government in Tibet!!! Free Tibet you dirty liar!
433. Wayne Tong: Dr. Shen Yat Sun was the founder of new China well-respected around the world. Qing Dynasty was overturned by him in 1911. One design of China's new national flag for final selection contained 5 color strips. Each strip symbolized one major tribes.Tibet is one of China's 5 major tribes. That design was not chosen eventually because China actually comprised of over 50 tribes. One important point though -- that historical design concept portrayed Tibet status in China.
434. cuaba1: Don't play stupid. Aboriginals in Australia and Indians in U.S.A are not burn themself to death to ask for Independence, specialy in 21 th Century. china don't have integrities in its territories. Most china territories are belong to other countries such as Tibet, East Turkishtan, Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, Vietnam...Present china map is a deceiving map. china is a country producing most counterfeited products in the world because china has history of deceiving go back for thousand years ago.
435. ABC News: Communist Terrorist China Free TIBET, Free TIBET, Free TIBET. Communist China, Stop harassing Tibetan people. Stop destroying Tibetan culture.China Free Tibet ! China has illegally occupied the sovereignty of Tibet. Free Tibet and re-establish the exiled Tibetan to Tibet.China kills its own citizens if they want democracy and freedom. China has occupied Tibet illegally since 1952. Free Tibet China. Tibet demands independence.
436. dorje168: Fifteen families out of around 300 households in the area have however been compelled to follow the orders. “I don’t know when the rest of our homes will be forced to put up with this. As for myself, I will never raise the flag, even if it means my death,” RFA quoted a Tibetan as saying.
437. Allahu Akbar: China is getting stronger and stronger. Good luck stealing Tibet from China.
438. Issac Miria: U need fix ur geography
439. Khitish Kumar Bhol: What was China's problem having Independent Tibet ? Tibet's inclusion to china was faced with resistance from both Tibetan people and it's leader. We won't have any problem if China gives freedom of speech to Tibet's people, and it should initiate programs for the perseverance of Tibetan culture. With multi ethnicity China shouldn't be Authoritarian rather a democratic one.
440. Kevin Shi: haaaa, keep lying well! To use more lies cover the olds, u shall see the "truth"!
441. 456inthemix: "WATER "Asian's New Battleground from Prof Brahama Chellaney recomended for al ignorants !
442. Ralphie87: China should just build a couple of city's in Tibet ,move a couple million of chinese in and problem solved . Democracy (Majority rules)
443. Changying Jushi: and please click "reply" before you reply. it's not every time that I can spot the reponse to my comment without notifications.
444. jack rowet: DONT BOTHER RESPONDING. THESE IDIOTS DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE POSTING.... THEY ARE PAID TO RESPOND TO YOUTUBE COMMENTS......
445. YaoMIngdix Shanghai: I am not talking about my ass. I am talking about South east Asia, they not eating curry, and wrap roll, but they eat rice and noodle just like Chinese. Yeah some India and muslim culture influence us but if you put the Lao, Thai, Vietnam and Cambodian with the Chinese you can't tell the different.
446. Yan zen: What is your point?Fuck with us?We don't want to destroy Tibetan culture.We are buddhist too.Chinese people can live anywhere they want to,Tibetans can also live in any part of China,freely.Tibet belongs to those who live here,not only original Tibetans.If you want to move off these people and ask for independence,first you should know how much you will pay for this if you are clever enough.It is not imperialism.Separatism is every where not only in China.
447. Dark PePe: Oh no just because certain agitators were arrested and punished, then automatically all Han Chinese are evil and rob/kill/torture Tibetans! I love your logic! If you feel that the Han Chinese have no heart/compassion, then obviously you haven't spoken to any Native Americans.
448. John Johnson: no... I never said they were less intelligent, but you clearly are since you deliberately twisted my words. I was disagreeing to your comment "Tibetans are as hardworking as anybody", because if they really were, they wouldn't be nomads stuck in the feudal ages, they would be industrialized.
449. Naiwen Ashera: by separating Tibet. 
450. 456inthemix: Don't compare pears with apple - Haha before you comment check my channel, You chinks haven stolen my country TIBET including Mongolia and East Turkistan. And no more useless statements, who has set up fake Panchen Lama as a puppet ? So no more non sense it is boring repeating the propaganda on and on, no one believes who are well informed. So fuck off and use your common sense,
451. Dark PePe: Bhutan should be more careful of India and it's Tibetan puppets. They spread lies about China. China believes in the Buddhist religion while Indians tear it down. Only China can preserve their independence.
452. Allahu Akbar: So what you're saying is anyone who supports the Chinese government MUST live in China?? Using your logic, anyone who supports gay marriage is gay, right? Get real. You wanna know what's unfair? Listening to all the lies from the Dalai Lama and his rebel lackeys is unfair. Also, the Seventeen Point Agreement effectively returned Tibet back to China. The UN recognizes China's sovereignty over Tibet. You can call the agreement unfair. I disagree. The UN disagrees. Your denial amuses me.
453. Siam: ffs whats with the debate in the comments. Tibet was invaded by China even though their not Chinese so thats it. Also nobody in tibet accepted China and they keep control by torture and force. I can't see how that is defendable in any way apart from China being too powerful
454. Wayne Tong: The loss is indirectly caused by Japan Invasion.
455. Evan Shao: you don't seem to know anything about China or Tibet, Just typical a brainwashed westerner.
456. Maya Green: Who are you????? What do you know about Dalai Lama? What else do you know beside "sarcasm". Tibetans are struggling for something that many of you unfortunate people can not appreciate enough. I feel sorry for you, even at this DNA age, you can not figure out the truth Vs lies... I request you not to die with lie... you should educate see for yourself....Do not attack Tibetans with lies like CCP...
457. cuaba1: We will do more than nothing, and we don't listen to stranger.
458. twenlil: How did VC fights against the Yanks ... like a man ? Huh... talking crap !
459. Xoro L: Ben Farar. China will also change. Give them 50 more years. By that time the Han population will be 75%. Dalai lama will have its referendum on Tibet independence. Its a question of right timing. the same as nuclear test ban treaty. America tested nukes 2,000 times. When they have developed miniature nuclear war heads, then they impose global test ban.
460. Major Bee: chinese are GREEDY
461. CoreyStudios2000: I think it's also european disease that killed natives. I think US can remain ujited and treat the Natives with respect. As for Tibet, it should be free.
462. oi pochana: Internationally accepted territory for Han on Mainland is limited to Song Dynasty (960-1279) territory. Han tribe is strictly restricted to live within land of Song. Manchuria, Taiwan is out of land of Song. Tibet, Uyghur, Yunnan and Mongolian(inner) is of course out of the limit. Han, you should behave yourself and accept and follow international order to live within your territory, land of Song. Otherwise Japan and US will come to punish you.
463. MATT K: why california is important to U.S.
464. twenlil: Because most of them have already been massacred. Ask the Tasmanian aborigines. Oops they are now extinct. Idi0t!!!!
465. Allahu Akbar: The United States is the worst offender of human rights. Look at all the drone strikes and military strikes that killed many innocent pakistanis, afghanis, and iraqis. I don't see any human rights advocate speaking their mind on that. This goes to show that the US is only interested in the interests of the US. You think they care about "Free Tibet?" How's that for an eye opener.
466. Siam: Ok hold polls as if china would ever let that happen they don't even allow full access to the Internet sounds free to me and killing thousands to get control doesn't sound like they want china controlling them
467. yanguli: Dalai Lama will die in 30 years. you still expect he will lead you??? funny
468. John Johnson: That's not very convincing when in fact most Tibetans are still nomads...
469. Ngawang Phunkhang: If you are talking about 17 point agreement between Tibet and China, it was forced by the Chinese on the Tibetan border officials pointing guns on their heads, I agree even it was forced one our officials had signed it for the peaceful liberation of Tibet but Chinese Government violated that agreement by killing millions of Tibetans. better don't try to cover the fact that Tibet was an independent nation before Chinese occupation, better listen to H H the Dalai Lama and accept his middleway app.
470. Ferdinand Alexander: Comparing one situation to another is insanity. It's an attempt to justify. Tibetans are a distinct people, language, writing, culture, traditions, etc and this is happening right now, today. Not to mention that few people if any in Hawaii, Texas, or anywhere else in the US are treated like Tibetans have been and are treated by the Chinese. Tibet belongs to Tibetans. Prior to invasion very few permanent Chinese residents. Now millions. Chinese are raping Tibet and have been for 60 years.
471. IsaacSamo: Sorry, but I don´t think that´s comparable. If you read news about situation in Tibet then you must know about the aggressive and violent suppression of Tibetan people, unfair imprisonments, closing the borders so no one can get in and out, Chinas army presence to keep them under control, and so on. I don´t think that´s what happening in the US...
472. TheTranceCartel: Exactly! Which is why China should stop meddling with Tibet!
473. Changying Jushi: can you say something else other than these useless, meaningless and inane slogans? moron!
474. Wullop Khin: Great analysis video. Thank and many thanks. ขอบคุณครับ (Thank you words in Thai).
475. Lobzang Wangtak: For centuries Tibet has been able to preserve a very stable religious authority which not only respected human rights but also maintaining a healthy connection with the nature, never exploit any resources and sentientbeings.This has only been possible through the practice of Buddhism. Tibet is not interested in joining the competion of the westernization but instead to have a full right over to practice the belief and way of life as buddhists which is the base of their identity. And I we are quite sure China is not willing to allow that even if Tibet be a part of China. Buddhism is the core of Tibet and you can't get rid of that cause it lies within practitioners.
476. Wayne Tong: Former Japan Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has told the truth about Diaoyu Islands June 2013. Japanese historian professor 井上清. has also told the truth about Diaoyu Islands in his book. Also abundant proofs in ancient maps, books & documents. Diaoyu Island is in Taiwan ( China) jurisdiction. After 1st Sino-Japan War, Taiwan was ceded to Japan. But in Potsdam's Declaration WW 2 , Taiwan was returned to China. " " Japanese sovereignty shall be limited to her 4 original islands only".
477. DorianGrayism: Well, why would they want Tibet for selfless reasons?
478. Straight Outta Markarth: @h02ctn not always.
479. TacticusPrime: That's bullshit. The Burmese and Thai have FAR more in common with India than with China. The only history Vietnam has with China is war.
480. Issac Miria: Sorry lama violate human right to him all those citizen are slaves
481. JDOG88: Tibet will never become independent. It has only 3 million people. Tibetans aren't exactly a clever, sophisticated peoples who can challenge the hardworking, dominating Han Chinese.
482. Allahu Akbar: And I presume you would believe everything these Tibetan rebels tell you right? For your information, many Tibetans support China. Let me be clear that the ones that are "stupid" are the separatists and the closed-minded sympathizers. You also mentioned Ai Weiwei's objection to China's policies as "unfair." I'm sure someone like you would have no problem believing something out of the mouth of a decades long failed rebellion. Unfair? I think gun control in the US is "unfair" What's your point?
483. MiddleKingdom: Why the Tibet can't and not able to get independence from China in the future?.... For one, Tibetan king married to Tang's Princess Wencheng (文成公主) that it was happened more than 1200 years ago that why the Han Chinese people won't allowed the Tibetan gain independence. Second, the Chinese already built the railway through Tibet territory. Third, just like the video said, " the major rivers of the Middle Kingdom are originated from Tibet high lands. Forth, the high mountains of Tibet areas
484. Pierse Maulgrim: Tibetans under Dalai Lama: 3 million population, 90% lived as literal slaves Tibetans now: 10 million population, language and culture is preserved (unless you are too stupid to realize this fact). Anyone who does unbiased and serious research, and isn't a braindead moron, will leave the Free Tibet cause.
485. Yan zen: What is your point?Fuck with us?We don't want to destroy Tibetan culture.We are buddhist too.Chinese people can live anywhere they want to,Tibetans can also live in any part of China,freely.Tibet belongs to those who live here,not only original Tibetans.If you want to move off these people and ask for independence,first you should know how much you will pay for this if you are clever enough.It is not imperialism.Separatism is every where not only in China.
486. CaptainCool07: Hell even before that. Since Tang Dynasty 641Ad to 670Ad, Tibetan King recognize Emperor Gaozong as their Emperor.
487. TheMiddleKingdom: You are absolutely correct said it.  
488. Xiang Weng: +TheTenzii1 Is America part of Europe?No?Then why the hell did  the white people come to this land and assimilate or even eliminate its native Indians?Is North-eastern India part of India in the ancient times? No? Then why the hell did the India government crack down the independent movement of local residents and dont let them set up their own country? BTW, Sikkim is not part of India. Free Sikkim!
489. TheMightyGuri: i dont ignore the fact that most countries of the world recognize tibet as part of china for selfish interessts, dont worry :) they do that because otherwise the chinese clown party would cry like a baby and big brands like nike couldnt exploit the chinese people with such slave like labour - that is the only fact, but if that makes tibet a part of china for you?? be proud :) nike shoes approve tibet as part of china
490. twenlil: So what is the point of this video ? Tibet will be part of China until hell freezes over. If USA tries their usual tricks like divide and conquer, you can be sure the Chinese will retaliate.
491. yanguli: If you have never used Wikipedia before, you know nothing about Wiki！ Without any first experience by yourself, whatever you was talking about Wiki is nonsense. If you have ever used before, you are already a liar. God will sentence the liars to death.
492. sergizle: Tibet has a peacful culture that the chinese have no right to stomp out. If the chinese are so worried about their borders they should find a peaceful resolution. Leaders from tibet have continuously tried to communicate for a chance to stop the bloodshed but have only been met with more violence.
493. Tom Nancy: what has human intelligence to do with what a man choses to do for his livelihood? Do you think nomads are less intelligent than you?? Stop overestimating yourself!!! Comments reflect your intelligence...you seem to be a dimwit!!
