    I can't say I have ever considered Tibet anything other than an occupied country. If the Chinese are so confident let the Tibetans have a plebiscite on whether they wish to remain part of China.

    Plebiscite is not allowed by any major world power to happen in any country if there is no political interest of these major powers to let it happen! Who cares for people!

    Was Tibet a country or a region?

    tibetans would lose the plebiscite, one of the first things china did was flood the country with han chinese people who supposedly outnumber tibetans in tibet by 7.5M to 6M.

    One of the reasons "Chinese did flood..." was because people living there were in such state that they needed teachers, doctors, engineers, etc. "Seven years in Tibet" is very good reading written from the guy sent by Hitler to Tibet.

    I'm not saying the place wasn't a complete backwater beforehand, but you make the invasion sound altruistic, do they really need more doctors, teachers and engineers than there are people in the whole country? Be realistic, it's pure demographic warfare - a perfect democracy killer.
