the colonisation of america in the past was imperialism. it is now accepted as something that is wrong; it was accepted throughout the world as wrong before the Chinese acted in an imperialistic manner when they invaded Tibet. the people living in the US now didnt oppress anyone and shouldnt be subject to oppression for what settlers did a few generations ago.

"yeah, the whole nation shitting its pants when some government official changes a colour from orange to red on a whim doesn't weaken the nation big_smile"

maybe you'll have a valid point some day when the nation shits its pants, but that day hasnt come yet.

"Simply because the British showed up when China was weakened and as usual redrew the maps doesn't suddenly mean Tibet was meant to be separated from China."

what do you mean by this? you say that Tibet wasnt meant to be separated from China; meant by whom?

"A religious system whereby the vast majority of the population were subservient to either the monasteries or the nobility as serfs or directly enslaved."

can you provide a source for this that isnt from China; not personally calling you a liar, but i have yet to find a source confirming that, and the chinese government would be extremly biased in this subject.

"The problem is this - social reform came in direct conflict with the religious culture, you couldn't deal with one without dealing with the other."

you already sited some reform had been occurring in Tibet, what obstacle was there that forced the chinese government to invade taiwan with 80,000 soliders in 1950?

"Did they truly represent the interests of the common Tibetan people as a whole? Anyone who believes this will believe anything."

well, roughly 80,000 people followed him when he fled china, apparently alot of the Tibetan people thought he was looking out for their best interest.

"As to countries of origin, which is yours? Is it the U.S? Like I said then adopt a morally consistent position and begin returning the United States over to native American hands and whatever govt they choose"

the problem with the actions of China was never because they were there first, so this doesnt hold any relavence.
