To Sherley,
I beg to differ with you but last I checked China was still a Communist country. See Wikipedia on China “Today, mainland China is administered by the People’s Republic of China—a one-party state under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party; while the island of Taiwan and surrounding islands are administered by the Republic of China—a democratic multi-party state.”
Whatever happens after they win their freedom from the Chinese Government is up to them. That is the whole point of “Freedom”. Once they get their independence back it is up to them and their own ruling party how they bring economic growth and improve their own living standard.
Why should they not keep their own culture and use Tibetan as their official language, it is their country. Why should you or I be able to tell them what language they can or cannot speak in their own country. You and I can communicate right now and I am sure that English is not our native language.
The Tibetan people are telling the world what they want right now, by protesting. They are telling the world that they do not want their country occupied by Communist China, they don’t want their civil rights violated, they want autonomy, they want their freedom. Is that not clear? Is that not enough?
You and I can discuss all we want about what should be done, but in the end what the Tibetan people want is their right as human beings.

One thing I should point out is that China is not a communist country. Another issue I want to question is that it is fine that the Tibetan people finally stand up, but what’s going to happen afterwards? Tibet is a kind of isolated area which is not easily accessible by the outside world anyway. What’s your suggestions for them to reach economic growth and improve living standards,or at least,earn a living? And what if they keep their culture and language and begin using Tibetan as official language, how do you think you can communicate with each other? The most important issue is that what do the Tibetan people IN CHINA NOW want? Do you have any idea of what they actually want?
I am not speaking for either side. I am just questioning the effects and what they might meet with after the success of Free Tibet Movement. It is something that we can discuss about,right? Do you think it makes more sense if we can provide what they gonna do and will do better than now before going on the street and protest?

Communisms is a wrong thing… It makes people lazy and think that everything will be done somehow. And I know, I lived in communism. Nobody of my family was hurt, but I know what it can do with the people and with the country when it falls. Everywhere will be people who came to the power only by luck and because they have a member of family or a friend on a high post and not because of their knowledge…

The rulers of China need to go but they are backed by socialists all over the world. This is very unfortunate but I don’t see it changing anytime soon.

I agree with Clement. China needs to realize that Tibet is a free state.
