While communism hasn’t exactly been kind to Tibetans, it did finally bring them into the 20th century and free them from the religious tyranny of the Lamas. That always gets played down or ignored in discussions of Tibetan independence. This is not a situation in which citizens of a republic were stripped of their rights and freedoms by an invading oppressor. Tibet was actually better off after the Chinese toppled the religious oligarchy. I read something once upon a time in which an old Tibetan man said something to the effect of, “Life under China is hard, but still much better than when I was a slave.”

Maybe Tibetans won’t take up arms against China because 1) they would be slaughtered in horrific numbers, or 2) they don’t want a return of the Lama. This is spun by the Lama and his supporters into a “campaign of nonviolence”.

I agree with your analysis; I just had a different take on the idea.

This immigration policy, though, smacks of a social engineering project to silence China’s critics on this issue. It looks evil and manipulative. Stupid move.
