<<I think you need to ask the Tibetan people.. >> i do not think we need to ask whether they favor having their kids skin made into items of clothing and lamp shades under dalai lama or be able to go to school and operate businesses. what do you think? <<Why not hold an election/referendum there on whether China should remain, or leave?>> who gets to vote, just the early travelers or also their slower moving kin? would same such be applicable in n.america? pol pot was enabled by america, which invaded cambodia and made pol pot rule possible. <<I can understand, in general, what any American speaks to me (minus a few idiomatic expressions/phrases).>> ... so can i, especially when i have the written words in front of me. what is your puzzling point? <<This is not the case in China, as I understand it.. >> ... you understood wrong. i learned cantonese by just listening, not by studying. all dialects can be leaned so. languages cannot be learned such and must be studied. <<The existence of distinct dialects that are as different as Spanish is from French, is a clear indication that China is not as homogenous as you would assert>> cantonese to mandarin is texan to maine, as opposed to hispanic to english. <<And if it's not homogenous>> ... it is more so than most, but varies enough to not be a japan. not too cold, not too hot. <<then it suggests that minority populations were dominated by larger ethnicities by force and incorporated into "greater china".>> ... the suggestion is wrong, and out to lunch, per stratfor's fault. <<We certainly know that the Tibetan language was completely different than Mandarin or Cantonese Chinese.. Therefore, it's difficult to assert some kind of commonality between China and Tibet.>> ... why ... is miami not a part of usa? <<You know.. we all share a "genetic kinship" somewhere in the history of mankind's DNA. So will that be a justification you rely upon when China decides to assert it's control over other nations surrounding it?>> ... back to israel, if not genetic kinship to the land, then what? chinese han and chinese tibet is more than 'genetic kinship' with the land, it is just a time shifted travel schedule of brothers. you do see, do you not?
