Comment: When referring to China, people in the west or those once educated under the colonialism tend to think China is just a country of Han Chinese despite of the open fact that it has been a multinational country over 2000 thousand years starting from Qin Dynasty, not counting its civilizations for another 3000 years before Qin that unified a dozen of kingdoms into China as it is now. But the territory of China was expended or shrunken over years of dynasty changes that had been going on until Qing dynasty of 1911. Various nationalities were separated or united with the territorial variations at different periods until the final unification as a state of China that has been ruled by 3 of the 56 nationalities historically, namely Han, Mongolian and Manchu. Whatever nationality is or was in power is always regarded as legitimate as they are or were all Chinese. Chinese history has never skipped Yuan dynasty and Qing dynasty that were ruled respectively by Mongolians and Manchu. This part of Chinese history shouldn???t be omitted just because China was ruled during these periods of time by the ethnic nationalities. The emperor of Yuan conferred title Dalai to the head of Tibetan theocracy and since then all Dalai's have to be appointed and approved by the central Chinese governments. Even now the present 14th Dalai dares not say he wants Tibet independent for his title would be automatically removed if he does so. The present Chinese capital Beijing is also the formal capital of Yuan Dynasty(called Dadu) the emperor of which is always held by Chinese as their ancestor in spite of his background of ethnic nationality as the rest of 54 other nationalities who are all Chinese nationals just as Scottish British, Welsh British and Irish British in UK. When Tibetan Chinese are singled out to abuse China and its government amongst all those situations that bear similarities or even much worse in the west as in Britain, France, Spain, or USA, it couldn't be more obvious that the intention of those devious minds is of no constructive and conducive approach in rendering stability in the Chinese Tibetan region where Tibetan Chinese have been enjoying unprecedented freedom and economic success together with the rest of the multi-national Chinese family under the leadership of the central Chinese government. The hope to be placed on the new generation for any attempt to slice Tibet from the rest of China will certainly prove futile as having been shown in the torch relay the anger and indignation erupted amongst the Post-80s( refer to those born after 1980). It is even harder for the west to face the younger generation of a strong and well-off China. Chinese would rather give up anything than stability and prosperity achieved so far. Only by knowing Chinese mentality can the west really understand them better and deal with them in a right manner.

Comment: China must stop persecuting, terrorising and imprisoning Tibetan people for peacefully going about their lives. Under Chinese rule Tibetans endure severe restrictions to their freedom of religion, expression and association.
