The Chinese government made good policys of Tibet, gave many many autonmous rihgts to it and improved lives of people mordernized citys there.

Just don't mix the biased articles and reports with the reality.
I would say the same thing to you. Do you honestly think your so-called "Communist" government reports the news with an honest journalistic integrity?

If only your government didn't censor western news websites, or websites that have certain information that might make your government look a little bad.

If you're 19 or younger you probably don't even know about the Tiananmen Square Massacre unless you heard of it from strictly word of mouth. But then again that's another story.

It doesn't matter how much your government modernized Tibet; Tibet is Tibetan. Your occupation of Tibet is no more valid than the imperialist Japanese in Korea or China. Korea was a primitive nation prior to Japan's invasion; they brought a lot of modernization to Korea, but does that mean the Koreans don't deserve their own country?

Your government likes to portray these protesters as 'violent and fierce', as if that justifies the violent military suppression on behalf of your "People's Liberation Army". Truth is, their rioting is no more violent than many protests here in the west (burning of cars, breaking of windows, etc.), but we have the common sense not to instill martial law and shoot them down dead.
