What has China done for Tibet? It's a serious question. I know there are many military installations all over Tibet. And China has flooded the Plateau with ethnic Hans who are not the local populace heretofore. Do Tibetans hold any power to govern themselves or to protect their identity and culture? China does not allow outsiders to even freely talk to Tibetans so we don't know for sure.

It is a brutal put down by a Stalinist state, I don't know how anything can be worse than that.

BTW, I wonder what your thoughts are on another priest-led state, ie, the Vatican. Time to dismantle that little thing and let it be absorbed into Italy, perhaps?
