The Tibetans have been oppressed by the Communists in the same manner that Han Chinese have been oppressed by the Communists. I don't get what I know about that from the newspapers.

what support? checking out ad referencing facts and figures freely available everywhere on web is support? i call that analysis and thinking. genocide in tibet? there are more tibetans now than ever before. the math, not i, says you are off base, brain or no brain. as to <<Can china do no wrong?>>, of course china can and does plenty wrong, but defending its territorial integrity and winning the Great Game successfully is a geo-strategic-political necessity due to fact of its water supply - you know, like oil, the stuff that energizes your SUV thinking indeed.

SG, TJ flies regularly to Beijing and many other places in China and abroad. Keeping in good with the emperor's courtiers is always an essential part of survival, let alone doing well, in totalitarian societies. Saying one wrong word, or moving a foot in the wrong direction, is a way of enacting one being recycled into the realm of CO2 or at best imprisoned in less than salubrious surroundings in China. TJ learned at a very young age to be very circumspect and to fear the totalitarian powers that be. Young bright people learn very well and do not forget their lessons. Plenty of them sign on with the rulers in a form of Stockholm Syndrome, becoming enthusiasts for the cause. Look at the current trials of Pol Pot's people - "We thought we were doing a good job". <Can China do no wrong? Just a lurker but a lurker with a brain. > Of course China can do no wrong. And you should keep that brain politely silent!! Mqurice
