Do you know Tibet's history, opus1? Do you know how many poor people are killed or hurted by the rich people before 1949? They were still in the slave society that time. Some slaves are killed by their owners, some slaves lost their arms, legs,...!
Currently there are some bad guys who fight for Tibet's independent. They just do it for themselves! Part of them are trying to use this way to anti-CCP. Some of them want their powers, want to control Tibet's people just like 50 years before! Do you ever see any real Tibet's people(who lives in Tibet now) say anything like that? If all the Tibet's people want to be independent, no one can control them!
I bielieve now Tibet's people have much better life and much better human rights than 50 years before! Sure, they may be still poor, but they won't have any life threaten now!!! And most part of China are not so rich, we Chinese people can definitely unite together can make our country more powerful, make our people more rich! We won't alow any bad people hurt our people, or divide our home-country into several parts!
This is the picture shows that most of the Tibet poor people are very happy when they were liberated!
