The remarks by Hu Jintao are correct! For the unity of China he has no other choice but to defend the best interests of all of China. The lives of every day Tibetans has much improved since the days when the butter-tea monks ruled the country.

To the propagandist and agent of CCP,

Excerpts from NY Times, 'privilege and power are overwhelmingly the preserve of the Han, while Tibetans live largely confined to segregated urban ghettos and poor villages in their own ancestral lands.' So much for life getting better. Sure, only for the Han Chinese. Keep trying to fool the world. China is today what Germany was in the 30's. Here, people like you are in the U.S. allowed to wave the flag of a country that is only waiting for the right moment to go to war with us.

I thought the Chinese were a higher intellect people until this. Do they not realize that the world is laughing at them? Given their past performance with things like the Tiamen Square, versus the Dali Lama and his quest for peace, if the world had a choice, they will believe the Dali Lama.

Each time the Central Chinese Government opens there mouth with this rhetoric the world laughs. Here are a bunch of morons that a too stupid to realize that their words only make themselves look more idiotic in the eyes of the world. If they just shut their mouths they would be be better. How can a government who runs such a large country be so darn dumb. To the Chinese Government, 'We laugh at your stupidity'. To the Dali Lama, 'We believe in you and your continued lifelong preachings for peace'

It is sort of like saying the people in all of the lands the Romans conquered had better roads and baths. Without noting all of the lives lost in their conquest and the cultures controlled. I also have been to Tibet several times. If you ask a Tibetan they don't give a darn if the Chinese Government brought flushing toilets, they like their culture. Hey if you could bring flushing toilets to the nomadic peoples of the desert to you think they would build houses around them? Sure, beat me and tell me I'll live a better life for it...jerks!

Go to war with us? Your ignorance is profound.

Which government is continuously denigrating the other? Which government is advocating the division of the other’s country? Which government has military bases on the other’s doorstep? Which government tries to interfere in the internal affairs of the other?

Do you think the American government has no agenda behind this anti-Chinese rhetoric and the associated media propaganda?

Do you know that America owes China $1,400,000,000,000 ???

If China had any plan of “going to war with us”, wouldn’t it have been pretty stupid to loan us that much money? Obviously, China wants America to be a strong and economically healthy trading partner who can eventually repay that debt.

Here’s a hypothesis for you: If America can make enough people believe that China is evil, America can justify not paying any of its debt by claiming that it does not support evil.

People like you are certainly buying into it.

America is always good and always right. Huh? Everything you read must be true, isn’t it? You’re eager to protest and make erroneous statements about a subject you’ve never bothered to study. Why bother to study? We’ve got TV!!!

How do you know? Have you been to Tibet? Have you talked to ordinary tibetans living there?
My relative went to Tibet many times in the past 40 years due to his research work. Actually ordinary Tibetans like Han people and their lives have improved so much.
Chinese government spend lots of tax money(from Han people) on Tibetan's development. Many Han tourists went to Tibet said the ordinary Tibetan are richer than ordinary Han.
In China, if one of a guy's parents is minority. He will claims himself as minority. Do you know why? Because then he will get much better benefits than Han.
I understand you westerners hate China and Chinese for some reason. But when you accuse China, please based on facts, not your imagination.

What you know about the tibet is from media, but the question is whether it could be trust ? Especially the things you could never see by yourslef .That is what called media distortion. I don't know when you know the truth ,but now, I just want you know we Chinese people love peace and freedom , and we (including tibetens) have .

Tibet was an independent country with her own government and heritage until the Chinese occupied her.

Of course, after 60 years lives will change. Look at China it has changed from an backward country into what it is today. So saying the Chinese improve lives in Tibet is a misnomer.

What would you Chinese think if America occupy and be the government of China. America will improve China must faster than Chinese government ever could. If you would not accept this occupied government then why is that all right for you to impose your occupied government to the Tibetan.

Time for the Chinese to get out Tibet, return the Paracel islands to the Vietnamese and begin to act as a civilized nation.

The old way of expanding one own border is no longer accepted in the 21st century. China will fail. As long as Chinese still cling to the old idea of world domination, Chineses is no more than a bully in the block. The world will kick your asses.
