It matters because it gets to the heart of the matter. t¡bet is part of China. More Chinese live in t¡bet than t¡betans. So what is your suggestion? Than the minority can kick out the majority? That would be a rather amazing accomplishment!

I guess the 1792 precedent didn't really hold up.


Nah, that just shows that contracts don't mean **** in China.

China daily? HAha, no thanks mate, i prefer other sources.

And you might recall the Allies were aligned with China at the time and were busy dividing up the maps the way they see fit. It was quite clear that t¡bet was actually Independent from China at that time. It was also neutral during WWII which China was not. So how could that be if t¡bet was part of China.

I mean this whole ALWAYS argument of yours has fallen to pieces quite quickly now hasn't it.

No, my suggestion is that the Chinese lose the base of its lies of saying t¡bet has always been part of China, recognize that it has always been an separate entity in various forms and enter in to talks and discussion related to t¡bet having more autonomy for its people, culture and religion.

This would include engaging the dali 1ama in those talks.

CLM, it is clear that you have never ever done an ounce of research on this topic. Stolen online after 30 seconds of searching:

Quote:
The British government recognized Chinese sovereignty over tĦbet in 1792, and again in the Anglo-Chinese Conventions of 1876, 1890 and 1906 and in the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907.

In 1943 the United States government formally reaffirmed that it had never raised a question regarding China's claim that tĦbet was part of China. "The Government of the United States has borne in mind the fact that the Chinese Government has long claimed suzerainty over tĦbet and that the Chinese constitution lists tĦbet among areas constituting the territory of the Republic of China. This Government has at no time raised a question regarding either of these claims.



Even you could do better than getting a customer review from amazon titled 'CIA Propogandists'. Not exactly the authoritive source.

^ Agree with you there, CLM.

HJT talks to DL and things could definitely progress for both parties.

As Churchill said when setting up the UN 'Jaw-jaw is better than war-war'.

USA founded -- 1776.
Canada founding around 1780.
UK recognized t¡bet as part of China - 1792.

That was just one recognition. What happened to the all the natives that lived in the US? Slaughtered & subjugated through various horrible means.

Ok, lets have a vote among the native indians (the minority) to take back their own land.

Free America!!!

Yes I would expect both these men to be experts on understanding 2000 years of t¡betan history.

Give me a break. This doesn't hold any wait to your argument.

Yeah! Turn that big palace in Lhasa into a casino and the t¡betans would soon stop their bitching and whining. Plus China could turn its attention to Xinjiang or elsewhere. Everyone's a winner!

^hmmmm, all these treaties and yet they are somehow supposedly according to Dfoo, ALWAYS part of China.

So weird. So Strange, what is one to think.

Why would a place that belongs to China require so many Treaties, conventions, wars and the like when it has ALWAYS just been a part of China.

I am so confused.

I didn't write anything about the t¡betan economy, but now that you ask what would you like to know.

Based on what you have said Dfoo you clearly know much more about this subject than I do. If an amazon review is good enough for you then it is good enough for me.

Millions of people starving to death isn't enough for you?

Anyway, as I said to HC, we aren't debating whether the CUM was good or bad. We are debating the t¡bet occupation by the CUM
