You are correct sir. India has less rapes per minute than Norway per year.

Can we see some stats for that ? Also, get the stats for China and India as well.

The obsession continues

How cute.I have never really witnessed a Chinese feel good session before

Do you get a kick from showing us in poor light ?
I am really interested to hear your answer, of all the Chinese posters here you insist that Chinese here ignore the Indians & yet everyday you are creating new threads for us

Aside from naked display of cognitive dissonance which you have already pointed out, this thread is self-goal for some members from our Eastern border.

For starters it is rather naive to equate GDP per capita directly to wealth of Tibet or Tibetans.

For example Indian state of Kerala for 2013 has GDP percapita of $1350 i.e approx 1/3.5 times Tibet's GDP and has approx 10 times the population.

Despite which the HDI of 0.790 for 2008 which greater than whole CHina's HDI for 2013 i.e 0.719 and that of Tibet's for 2010 at 0.569.

Hence despite having higher GDP per capita of Tibetan than Keralite, the quality of life of a Tibetan is poor.

So that begs the question if the money from Tibet region is not going to development of Tibetan lives, then where is it going?

This gorging of Tibetan natural resources for benefit of rest of China, comes at another cost : ethnic Han Migration, which is credited for ethnic tensions in Tibet and Xinjiang

Many miners, as well as builders of infrastructure used to service the mines, are brought in from elsewhere in China. Tellingly, only two of the miners killed by the landslide were reported to be Tibetans. Managers at big state-owned firms are usually Han Chinese, who in turn tend to regard their own ethnic kin as easier to control and communicate with than Tibetans.China Daily, a Beijing newspaper, reported last year that the Jiama mine had hired 191 locals. It said non-Han employees made up 35% of the mine operator’s staff, “the highest percentage among mining companies in China”

The whole idea is hiding the actual plight Tibetans who despite higher GDP per capita than India, come to India as refugees.

Another deluded belief is even if there is even actual economic and HDI improvement, Tibetans will be comfortable with Chinese rule, when the real issue is ethnic tensions.

Also, going by above logic Chinese would be very happy under Japanese rule given Japan was rising economic power when China was enduring the massive famine causing death of millions.

Lhasa: GDP increased by 165 times in 50 years
2015-09-14

Lhasa, the capital city of southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region, is listed as the “happiest city” for seven consecutive years. Over the past five decades, Lhasa has witnessed the economic growth and the improvement of people’s living livelihood. Lhasa’s GDP has increased by 319 folds from 1965 to 2014. Lhasa’s per capita GDP in 2014 has grown 165 times more than 1965, an average annual increase of 11.1 percent.

With an average annual increase of 11.1 percent, Lhasa’s GDP grown from 94 million yuan in 1965 to 34.75 billion yuan (5.5 bln U.S. dollars) in 2014, a 165-fold increase. Local fiscal revenues reached 6.5 billion yuan (1 bln U.S. dollars) at an average annual increase of 15.7 percent, a growth of 1,286 folds than 1965 that had 5.3 million yuan.

At present, Lhasa’s economy are transforming from a closed economy to open economy gradually, from supply-based economy into business economy. Lhasa has already been in the socialist market economy with the rest of the country. Until Mar. of this year, there were 5,030 non-public enterprises with the registered capital of 22.5 bln yuan which was 8.3 folds than that of 2011. Enjoying the more active market, in 2014, the total volume retail sales was 18.03 bln yuan with an average annual increase of 14.8 percent, a growth of 881 folds than that of 1965, said by Wu Yasong.

After more than 50 years of development, modern industry has been established in Lhasa from scratch, and it has grown considerably in size. Today, Lhasa has a modern industrial system comprising energy, light industry, textile, food processing, folk handicrafts and traditional Tibetan medicine. The total industrial output value skyrocketed from 16.21 million yuan in 1965 to 9.2 bln yuan in 2014, a 567-fold increase. During the recent years, Lhasa, putting the people’s interests first and seeking green and sustainable development, has supported the tourism, culture and Land Green project.

Over the past five decades, basic industries such as energy and transportation are booming. In terms of transportation, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and Lhasa-Shigatse Railway have already been operated. The construction of the railway line connecting Sichuan to Tibet will be completed in 2030. Besides, Tibet’s first expressway opened to traffic in 2011, linking Lhasa and Gongga Airport which transports more than 2 million passengers annually. Currently, Lhasa has already developed a comprehensive transportation system including road, aviation, railway and pipeline transportation.

Lhasa only had 6 roads in the urban area that occupied 3 square kilometers. At present, with the development of Newu district, Dongcheng district and Dungkar district, the area of urban in Lhasa reached 70.29 square kilometers. In addition, modern infrastructures in urban area are being constantly improved, such as the Tibet exhibition center, central sport stadium and other major projects.

Moreover, with a 98% heating rate the project of heating in Lhasa has already been completed. 95.8 percent of urban residents are satisfied with this project. Besides, following the rules of energy-saving and emission reduction, Lhasa adopted the pilot application of new energy automobiles in public and police transport. The air quality index is always kept above 96 percent all year by strengthening the surveillance of PM 2.5. Lhasa always ranks the top three on the list of city enjoying the good air quality.

Over the five decades, Lhasa has always given top priority to the improvement and security of people. In order to ensure the fruits of reform to benefit people from all ethnic groups in Tibet, Lhasa developed education first. According to Wu Yasong, since 2012, 116 public kindergartens have been built, which scattered all towns, counties and villages in Lhasa. In addition, in the stage of compulsory education, all tuition, food and boarding expenses for students from farmers and herdsmen’s families are covered. With an investment of 7.3 bln yuan, a modern education city, enjoying the complete facilities and multi-function, has been built in Lhasa.

Lhasa’s social security system has been increasingly improved. A social security system consisting of basic old-age insurance, basic health insurance, unemployment insurance, work-related injury insurance and maternity insurance has covered over 95 percent. In the past 50 years, Lhasa invested 8.8 bln yuan on the improvement of livelihood, an average annual increase of 26.09 percent.

“Beautiful home, happy Lhasa” is the reality of people from all ethnic groups in Lhasa.

转山是藏族人表示虔诚的一种方式。他们相信徒步围着神山绕行可以洗清一生罪孽。心怀信仰、敬畏自然，虔诚的藏民离开世俗的现实生活，走入荒野自由穿行，历经磨难后回到出发地。途中经历的艰险丝毫不能吓退生生世世围绕卡瓦格博转经的藏民，因为在他们看来，苦难和折磨正是他们延续着朝圣之路前行的理由。 杨帆/摄

india spend too much on their military hoping to achieve domination of her neighbours with guns. They should spend more on refining their democracy, nourishing their children, providing basic healthcare for the Dalits.

Spending on military and space exploration is useless for them because there isn't anything new that they bring to science.

If you think spending less than 2 percent of gdp on defence is too much....then you should have a look at yours and that of uncle SAM's
