Just like in Tibet. No war. There is a nice train from Beijing to Lhasa now. Chinese people are doing well economically in Tibet, as long as they aren't from Tibet. It's really nice, for everyone other the indigenous people (who are no longer Tibetan, they are now Chinese citizens, lucky them) that can't seem to keep up with the Chinese.... Ah yes, the march of progress, Sino-style. Actually, that's an appropriate term since the Chinese feel about the Tibetans roughly as 19th century Americans felt about the Indians. But China is a big country doing lots of business. Must get back to important shows of virtue, like bewailing the lot of the poor Palestinians and condemning the Israeli "settlers." The Chinese now living in Tibet (I think I read somewhere that there are over a million now) are not "settlers", did you ever notice that? They are never called "settlers." They are not called "colonists" either, though that is the proper term for them. Wonder why that is?
