If the Indonesian occupation of Irian Jaya is considered legitimate, then of course this is legitimate. After all, Tibetans are far more closely linked ethnically and culturally to the Chinese than the West Papuans are to the Javanese.
If the world community of states recognizes China's borders as is, then they are legitimate.
It is true that there has been repression in the region, but likewise in Xinjiang, or the rest of China for that matter. The problem is not the Chinese regime in Tibet, but the Chinese regime in general.
If sovereignty was returned to Tibet however, it is clear that the old regime should not be reinstalled. Give me a People's Republic over a feudal theocracy any day.
Anyway, given that I have to be granted a visa by the People's Republic in several month's time... I won't comment too much more.Comment

Of course the fact that he´s not communist and that he didn´t let starve 20 million of chinese peasants makes him a bad person
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

Repression has been occuring in all parts of the world for aeons and it is still occuring today. Even in democracies. I am sure certain persons in Australia are feeling repressed right now. For example, smokers. The fact that you can't get 100% consensus in large enough groups means some people will get shafted.Originally posted by Dracon II

eh?
it doesn't really matter what my opinion is...
I don't particularly care for China's government. It is repressive and it sucks. But what is the US going to do about it? Go to war over Tibet's independence?
Certainly not. So the point is moot.
I don't really know what goes on in Tibet, if there are people being repressed there or if they are suffering there. I hope not. But I'm not going to slap a bumper sticker on my car over it.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

I, for one, would not care if the entire Chinese government was assassinated. And their supporters.
Perhaps that is an understatement."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Its so sad to see people in Poly are so deluded about this issue.
Not that that is much of a surprise thought.If you don't like reality, change it! me
