It is now an autonomous region of China and has received extensive modernisation and improvement in basic amenities such as education and hospitals. The Dalai Lama is not calling for Tibet to become independent, however a minority element has decided to use violence for their own political purposes. Both Tibetan and Han Chinese were impacted by the violence of this externally motivated minority with at least 13 innocent civilians burned or stabbed to death. How many of the pro-Tibet independence people know the history of Tibet prior to 1950 and the treatment of the ordinary Tibetans by the religious elite prior to the Chinese government being formed? It is not the Tibetan people who are desperate, but the external forces that are behind the violent protests. Hopefully our free Western media will show a more balanced portrayal of the issues backed by real investigative journalism.
