      You do realize that 95 percent of Tibetans were serfs and slaves who served feudal lords before the arrival of the Chinese communists, right? I’m sure they’re just dying to return to independence.

        And you do realise that a people do not automatically revert to the state they were in the last time they were independent, right?

        If Scotland were to gain independence I highly doubt they’d revert to their 17th Century feudal state.

          Liberals are always calling for balkanization. You’re completely missing the point. Tibet has been a part of China for centuries. Tibet was liberated by the PRC and reunified with China. All of this free Tibet energy is an invention of the west. There’s hardly anybody in Tibet asking to be freed.
