I've never seen any evidence that Tibetans are treated worse than people from Honan or Chekiang or etc. The cultural revolution looted and razed Han people's temples and historic structures. I think one cannot say that the arrests per capita in the province of Tibet have been greater than that in Shanshi or Hubei etc. Some Chinese friends of mine in Toronto think that relatively Tibetans were treated better than people elsewhere in China.
I think we needn't prove again and again that China is not a democracy. Given that it isn't, the investment question is does this affect the rosy picture of the future?
In a sense even this question is hypothetical because the degree of democracy seems to be advancing from zero to a small number. As and if this advance continues we can observe and react. Meanwhile, China is booming; that's a fact.
