So both western companies and the communist party are at fault for letting chinese workers be treated like SLAVES.

Tibetans had very problems in 1949 before the invasion of the independent country of Tibet began. Now Tibetans have NO freedom in Tibet and more than 1 million of them were killed or starved to death due to nearly 60 years of communist party disasters.

The communist party doesn’t respect human rights, culture or the environment. Its sad that any person or government supports the evil communist party.
Without support the communist party would be gone tomorrow and the World would be a much better place.
Free Tibet and China from human rights abuses, Cultural GENOCIDE and environmental destruction.
Indeed. It’s very sad how China destroys buddhist culture of Tibet.
Tibets beautiful culture is being wiped out by the evil communist party cult. To learn more about the Cultural Genocide of Tibet please watch

and learn that the communist party cults Cultural Revolution never stopped in Tibet. It is still going.
Part of Everest is in Tibet.
The Tibetan name for Mount Everest is Chomolungma or Qomolangma, which means “Saint Mother”.
The Nepalese name is Sagarmatha.
Tibet is an occupied country.
Wake up BBC and the UK government. Shame on you, the IOC, Yahoo and the evil Communist Party Cult.
FREE Tibet and China
bigdogITbiker I take it that your complete ignorant comment that you are American. Why not mention the FACT that thousands of monasties were destroyed by the Chinese.
notice this british fuck made a a point to take a jab at the “cultural revolution” of china when he mentioned this temple is the highest temple, since 1000s were destroyed back 5 decades ago; he had to mention that. what a biased fuck. if he wants to say this is the highest temple, then just say it is the highest temple. asshole fuck.

Funny, I don’t remember mentionany. . . any of them. If you are claiming to have psychic powers you may wish to retune your crystals. . .
Freedom is what we’re told we have and totalitarianism is what we’re told grips our enemies.
Where do you get the ruth from? The voices in your head, does that beat empirical evidence? 2000 years of history suggests not.
3) China needs to industrialise and unlike many countries has tried to strike a balance between industrialisation and its people’s welfare. It’s the western capital owners who have the choice, not the PRC. You know as well as I do that if the government enforced better working conditions on foreign companies they would pack up and go to Indonesia or the Congo. . .
1) No, but that’s not the point.
2) Tibet was not close to being sovereign nation until the British Empire tried to annex western China. They gave powers to a reactionary monastic order and stirred up nationalist attitudes in order to divide and rule. The monasteries supported (or at the very least failed to eliminate) the feudal land system and the bondage of the tibetan people. China made the right decision. In short: I don’t give nations more rights than the people who suffer them.
Never mind. Just reviewed your YouTube page and saw you worship the murders Stalin, Mao, Kim Jung Ill.
I for one believe in freedom not totalitarism. I believe in Jesus Christ as my leader and compass. Hope someday you see the truth to life. It is not in what the world or any government leader provides you.
Will you accept conforming to Chinese rule and ideology by force as a form of enslavement of the mind?
Think about it. One sovereign nation should not be stolen just because you have the power to do so. Really?
As for Western companies not obeying the same labor laws in China as in America, yes, that is evil TOO. Yet China’s hands are not a clean as you try to portray them to be, here.
The only thing that comes close to resembelling slave labour in China are the conditions western companies force on their workers there. China suffers from a lack of communism, not to much of it.
Tibet was taken by enslavement? Funny, there I was believing my silly facts, you know? Like the fact that slavery was abolished in Tibet in 1959 — by the Communist Chinese. . .
Damn communists. Why we buy from these slave labor camps they call the ‘peoples’ government I will never understand. Tibet was taken by force, murder, enslavement, same a Kuwait, but in this case the world just watched and let it happen without saying a word. Instead of sanctions China got an olympics. Tibet will never belong to China in the mind of those that love and respect freedom.
The people in this area are may be Mongoloid, but not Mongolian. They are the forebearers of people further south in Burma and other Southeast asian countries. There are however Mongolian descendents in the east of Tibet.
So their civilization took root around the same time as the early Mongolians and have parallel and not ancestral connection.
why??
Ask the majority of the people . . .
Tibet is not China!
