The Western corporate media greatly exaggerates this resistance, theone. Missing from your analysis of Tibetan protest is the role the CIA has played in fomenting the instability.
I suggest a book for you: "The CIA's Secret War in Tibet" by Kenneth Conboy and James Morrison.
The CIA had the Dali Lama on their payroll for years, and they funded over $2 million to a broader Tibetan resistance movement?
Also missing from our media is the advancement the Tibetans made since the revolution: They've built extensive roads, railways, airports, and electricity grids.In health and education, average life expectancy went from 35 to 70 years, and literacy rates and school enrollment skyrocketed.

Maestro, whats wrong with you again?? LOL
Here is what I said: """Do you know that reports by international human rights organizations, the U.N and exiled Tibetan groups "document" systematic oppression of Tibetans by the Chinese government?""""
I said the UN "documented" I didn't say the UN CONDEMNED. To document means to record informations about something in detail or to prove it with factual evidence. THis has nothing to do with a "condemnation". Hahahahaha!!
I think you're still angry at our past conversations and you're looking for the little beast, I mean looking for any tiny, insignificant fault. LOL!!!
""""These folks not liking China is like saying Cuba must not be that good because the Cubans in South Florida don't want to be part of Cuba"""".
Your version on their rejection of being ruled by China can also be correct, however I've heard another version about that which makes more sense, actually all three of them have resisted to be ruled by China because each one have distinct historical, cultural, and political systems that clash with Beijing's authoritarian model. While each region has a unique situation, their resistance centers on the defense of local freedoms, distinct identities, and self-governance. In Belgium where I live the Flemish part of the population has historically resisted/refused to be ruled by the French region of the country to the point where not long ago a border was about to be drawn to divide the country in half despite the European Union banner. FYI, the Walloons and the Flemish in this country don't have the same language nor the same culture.
""""largely reject being ruled by the People's Republic of China because the places are made up of strongly counter revolutionaries."""""
Ok, but why are these places made up of strongly counter revolutionaries??? Must be a reason, right??
These places resist Beijing's control, Maestro, because they have very different histories, cultures, and legal systems compared to mainland China.

Taiwan, Hong Kong and Tibet largely reject being ruled by the People's Republic of China because the places are made up of strongly counter revolutionaries.
As for Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek, and his roughly 2.7 million soldiers, government officials, and wealthy land owners moved from the mainland to there after being chased out in 1949.
These folks not liking China is like saying Cuba must not be that good because the Cubans in South Florida don't want to be part of Cuba. LOL!!!!
Reading your post, theone, reminded me of the type of absurd anti-revolutionary arguments i heard in the days i organized against our wars in Nicaragua and El Salvador.

""""Kudos to China and its humanitarian gestures, Maestro"""""
Good for Cuba thats for sure, I'm glad Cuba is "benefiting", indeed!! But, Les, you see, we're quick to forget. All of a sudden China looks like the Asian savior. LOL, your statement above about China is why ppl are quick to be taken for a ride. . If China's govnt was good as it pretend to be with Cuba then why would Taiwan, Hong Kong and Tibet largely reject being ruled by the People's Republic of China??
I think I'm one of the very few who always consider the past, history, or the ongoing situations of any nation. I believe China's approach to aid for Cuba is deeply political, serving as both a geopolitical counterweight to the U.S and a practical effort to stabilize a fellow socialist ally.
Do you know that reports by international human rights organizations, the U.N and exiled Tibetan groups document systematic oppression of Tibetans by the Chinese government? Do you remember what Chinese civilians and their govnt did to Africans during Covid in 2020? FYI discrimination and anti-Black racism toward African people do occur in China and across its social media platforms in certain instances. And while the Chinese government officially states it has zero tolerance for racial discrimination, watchdogs report that prejudice remains a significant issue and Chinese officials are not doing much about it.
Although, like I said, its good for Cuba, it is hard for me to "swallow" that this current Chinese help to Cuba(where most of the ppl are Black) is coming strictly from the "good heart" of China's govnt. I doubt that China is offering assistance to Cuba with complete sincerity, deep compassion, and no expectation of a reward. Thats not a "friend", that's a "FOX". LOL!
Les, I think if Israel decides tomorrow to help donate millions of dollars to Haiti, hahahaha, guest what? You, me and GM we'll be quick to forget about the ongoing genocide of the Palestinians and instead we will be saying "Kudos to Israel and its humanitarian help to Haiti". LOL
