Teenage Tibetan nun sets herself on fire in China

[Yeti]

Government has power over all regions you speak to the government if you want something.

Goverment policy is the issue at the heart of the unrest though that is the problem:

Despite improved living conditions and economic empowerment in what China has long viewed as feudal and poverty stricken society, Tibetans remain resentful and volatile.

They cite a cultural genocide because of the influx of Han Chinese, the country’s dominant ethnic community, who in their tens of thousands, are being encouraged to settle in Tibet and other once remote regions in the western provinces.

You have given me not a single fact but just crap which i will not even waste my time with.

Sure, you have lived next to the former GDR, visitied it several times before 1989, have many friends who grew up in East Germany. Talking about Indian conceitedness.

Yes I have indeed spoken to many German people and visited the country when you held the WC there point is they do not wish to live under a totalitarian communist government hence the unrest.

Exactly what genocide when they are not affected by the one child policy ? and no they are still the majority the Han and Hui there are sent to build the Region due to the Tibetans themselves not being able to do that.

Not the view of the Tibetan people who they see as outsiders coming to their land and making them a minority.

Yeah, I know those experts who have travelled Germany a once or twice times. Your expertise is certainly much higher than me who lived 60 km away from the former GDR and grew up with GDR TV till the Wall went down.

Yeah, living under buddho-fascism is such a great thing.

Not their land belongs to everyone in China, they themselves are not a minority in fact the majority and unless they can do anything other then agriculture it will continue.

From a low of 7% in 1953, the Han began to return to Xinjiang between then and 1964, where they comprised 33% of the population (54% Uyghur), similarly to Qing times. A decade later, at the beginning of the Chinese economic reform in 1978, the demographic balance was 46% Uyghur and 40% Han;[73] this has not changed drastically until the last census in 2000, with the Uyghur population reduced to 42%


Same thing went on in Xinjiang which led to attacks on Han people there

endless cycle it seems.

The attacks were the latest burst of violence to jolt Xinjiang, where many Uighurs, a mostly Muslim Turkic-speaking people from the region, resent the influx of Han Chinese.

Why not give more rights to the local population instead? do you feel this talk of more freedom will actually happen for real?

I just hope this carnage of burning monks ends and the local authorities in charge should be fired for not protecting the very people they were meant to look after.

 

[iajj]

indians talked themselves into believing they got this opening, this opportunity to exploit in china and tibet. they courted and paid for the feudal lama overlords to come over to india, fed and clothed them and wanted the lamaists to tell stories that allowed them to fantasize about making a move against their neighbor. this is the cardinal geopolitical mistake any nation can make: hosting exiles, implicitly encouraging them to endorse a reckless policy of the host and actually deriving courage from the stories they begged the exiles to feed themselves in the first place.

now they did extract a price from china, in terms of the tibetans - who are only forever hans' cousins - whom they had to kidnap, murder and barbeque. but in the big scheme of things they have gained nothing but contempt and long term military pressure from a far more powerful neighbor. today they lit a small fire on the plateau, and this fire would travel south and turn infernal and consume every indian; today they cannibalized scores of our tibetan cousins and tomorrow this blood debt we shall pay back, thrice the interest! after that, the entire hindu cosmology will be rewritten to acknowledge that it is more felicitous to be engulfed by the putrid water of ganges than to be burned by the fire of heavenly wrath.

Actually they have been sacked already.
