So, you are saying the PRC invaded, pillaged, and continues to oppress the Tibetans for their own good?
Pillaged?? They might have done that when china first became a republic, i'm not excusing them for that. But are they Pillaging tibet now? oppressing, give an example of how the chinese government oppresses tibet. They brought mass transit to tibet, and people see it as flooding the region with han population, rather than boosting the economy of the area. I dont know why you think china would try to oppress one of it's own proveniences, it's like saying the us wants to oppress Alaska.
The government isn't handling the situation very well, putting protesters into prison. But it is not pillaging. When i think of pillaged, i think of the vietcongs pillaging villages in vietnam. This is no where near that.
