It's interesting how the apologists for China basically accuse anybody who supports Tibet of being racist and/or anti-Chinese. Very handy little accusation to wheel out, and it seems to have put many in the West on the back foot, not wanting to be seen as racist. So it seems that China and its supporters think they should be able to act with impunity, on the basis of their invasion of Tibet some 50 years ago. And they also appear to be trying to re-write history by insisting that Tibet has always been part of China - strange that the Tibetans were not aware of that.
As imperialism has declined in the West, so it will eventually become a festering sore for China as well. No people willingly submit to oppression, and though the numbers might seem to be on China's side, while it continues to occupy and brutally repress the people of Tibet there will be a stain on the character of the nation.
