Look, I have yet to meet with a perfect government--- I am not grateful to China at all about this---
People in the West are educated not be be grateful, rather to be hateful, about anything stopping Western colonialism and terrorism, and the peaceful integration of Tibet and China is not an exception.
if they didn't try to save face all the time and control Tibet---
I find it always funny when I see Western people so much ”concerned” with ”China's control of Tibet”. Why are they not concerned with North-, Central- and South-American countries' control of Quíchua, Guarani, Mapuche, Apache, Cherokee, Inca, Maya, Inuits, and so many other Native American Nations? Or with British control of Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland? Or with Spanish control of the Basque Country or Catalonia? Or with the Ukrainian genocidal, Western-supported, control of Donetsk, Lugansk, and other Russian speaking regions? Or with Israeli control of Palestine? Or with Australian control of Aboriginal Nations?
As a Buddhist, I find China's integration with Tibet very healthy. Together, Chinese and Tibetan people uprooted a cruel feudal theocracy, where 95% of the people were enslaved and terrorized by 5% of landlords and clerics. They brought freedom and education to the masses. They keep at bay the criminal terrorist puppet dalai, together with his masters, the brutal Western colonialists. Tibetans enjoy prosperity and freedom of religion, without self-destructive witch-hunts such as those promoted by the evil terrorist dalai. Just like in North Korea, Buddhism is generously supported and protected by the state, which is a tradition traced back to king Ashoka and before.
But the same cannot be said about the brutal, genocidal approach of Western countries towards the nations they oppress. Therefore, not only I rejoice over Tibet's beneficial integration with China, but also deplore the sinister attitude of those wanting Tibet to become another disgraceful Western colony.
if Tibetans would be allowed real independence ----
Tibetans already enjoy full independence from the Western brutal colonialism the evil terrorist puppet dalai wants to impose on them.
then at that point maybe the Dalai Lama/CTA Tibetans could work on their democracy a bit more.
The evil Western puppet terrorist theocratic dictator dalai, and his minions, disgruntled feudal landlords, slave owners and torturers, working on ”democracy”? Don't you have another better joke for today?
This isn't uncommon, that countries go from dictatorship to either democracy or communism;
With the evil dalai and Western support, Tibet would go from medieval theocracy (as before the Chinese-Tibetan peaceful liberation) to medieval theocracy, that is, to what you find in Western-supported exile ”government”.
democracy is better--- really--- because the rights of the people are respectd more (like to religion, etc.)....
Agreed. This shows that Tibet integrated with China is an actual democracy, whereas any option including the evil puppet dalai, his Western masters, or both, is anything except for democracy, or, to be more precise, is plain colonialist dictatorship, even if ballyhooed as ”democracy”.
the issue is that this time the government has been put in exile, so they are having a hard time ruling without a country....
Even without a country they, the evil terrorist dalai and his minions, are capable of such brutalities against their own people, let alone if they would be empowered with a country.
However, they would need to work on their democracy
Work on ”their” democracy? Which one? And when did you ever see saw disgrunted feudal slave-owners, theocrats, torturers, and Western supported terrorists working on any ”democracy” anywhere in space and time?
and find somethng that would work for them....
While you are concerned with something that would work for brutal theocrats and slave-owners, the Chinese together with the Tibetans found something which works for the people, and specially which works for Buddhism.
the Dalai Lama never got the real idea about democracy....
This is not the priority of any terrorist anyway.
