I think that China see Tibet as part of their turf. Here's the chinese viewpoint:

Note the "British aggressors invaded China's Tibet twice in 1888 and 1903" They've obviously been reading 'Poly.

Think they will eventually claim all their old territory back? From the looks of the map in that piece, there may be a few issues with that.

Apparently Tibet is part of China, but Tibetans are not Chinese? I love how sympathetic the Chinese have been to the Tibetans who suffered so under the British.

Sure, that would be good. Was the lama-ist theocracy a democratic model, or was it, like, a theocracy? While its restoration would undoubtedly be self-deterministic, would it fit western perceptions of a free society?

Youre right, every country that was undemocratic when it was conquered was bound to remain so, and the conqueror had every right to do so, and any such country is bound to return to the situation it was in when it was conquered.

I doubt that most Tibetans want to return to the status quo of 1950. I doubt very many want Chinese rule. But I dont know cause the Chinese rulers, TODAY, wont let them tell us.

Wasn't that after the umpteenth uprising in Judea ?

You might want to mention the cause for the diaspora as well...

Two uprisings over 90 years.

As many as the Palestinians have had these last 20 years.
