China has had a shortage on copper for the longest time, forcing the military to use steel to manufacture much of its ammunitions, especially for small arms. Steel round shells are bulkier as well as less precise. With the discovery of this, the problem can be remedied once and for all.

For those of you that can't read Chinese, basically they discovered a copper deposit estimated to contain 10.36 million tons. Tibet is estimated to contain 80 million tons of mineral deposit in total (2000 tons of gold and 30 millon tons of lead/zinc). This is just the beginning however, as only a small fraction of Tibet has been charted by government geological services in China.

P.S. Changtang region in Tibet was also discovered to contain about 20 million tons of oil reserve a few years back.

Why pay to a certain ethnic group of Chinese citizens? They are already part of China. lol

There is no such thing as Tibetans, it's an imaginary race. Those 'tibetians' are a religious terrorist group that should be ruthlessly dealt with.
