it's probably more like the other way around.

This is the result of a long process of sinicization of the world. China has always been regarded as aggressive, therefore, 2/5 of its territory is occupied after the communist regime, break-away taiwan is another proof of the communist regimes stance. Tibet, Xinjiang (East Turkistan) Inner Mongolia are a few among those who are not of yellow races, accordingly, not Han Chinese (ghuo). they are Tibetan buddhists, Turkic Uyghurs or Mongols. Huis are another one represented as a star on the chinese flag. I am afraid political leaders and officials are not well-aware of this policy. They only care for money, capital investments, but not capital punishment, gross human rights abuses committed by the communist regime.

China is getting heavy play on China on the economic side.  China just does not have the power to weld much conventional military power beyond its border.  Generally and military involvement deal with the legal and illegal weapon shipments.\nhttp://www.afpc.org/china-africa.shtml\nhttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,165695,00.html\nhttp://www.workers.org/2006/editorials/africa-china-0511/

That's why evolution is so bull. Chinese history has been 6000-4000 years and NOTHING HAS CHANGED! We didn't grow a tail or an extra finger, nor lose any body parts. It's all Western propaganda trying to brainwash the rest of the world.

It is not surprising given the fact that once they had claimed the Sikkim.  If tomorrow China claims entire north east as its part, even then we should not be surprised.  What we should do now is bluntly ask China to stop the territorial expansion drive.  They have already taken over the Tibet which was never a part of China.  They have even laid Rail route in Tibet region, which is supposed to give greater freedom to Tibetan people, though their actual aim is to supply the military weapons on mass scale that too with speed.  Therefore India should concentrate on building up the Agni -III missile which is capable to hit Chinese cities, if it is required in future (minimum nuclear deterrence capability)

you guys seem misunderstanding of China!\nyes, it's not a democratic country, it's being. \nyes it's still a Socialist country, the gov claims, not the people. and all the society are pursuing economy growth, at a price of environment pollution, energy waste,etc every developing country could meet.\nthe labors care of better life and the up-classes care of open and fair social air.\nyou may say it's not what you like, it's improving.\nyou all label the communist with devil but Chinese think it a too perfectly ideal fancy to be reality. So they low their eyes to pave their way for a better life.

Nepal's got some problems, they got Maoist revolutionaries knocking down the front door, and a monarchy that needs to leave by the back door , so democracy can form. Am very surprised the US is just idly watching this. We're on the verge of losing Nepal to China.It wouldn't take as much to form a democracy there, as say Afghanistan, If we could just get the monarchy to listen, and let us or India, anyone really,{except China} put in a few thousand troops for stability.

Its good that India keeps supporting the Tibetan exiles, but Tibet's days have been numbered... July 1 to be exact.  This is when the new railway will be open, forever linking China with Lhasa.  As it becomes cheaper for chinese to migrate into tibet, they will, and if ever later Tibet is given the chance to vote for its freedom, it will be majority Chinese immigrants.\n\nI have never been to Tibet, but I have met some tibetans, and there are mixed feelings about the relationship with China.  Some feel strongly about independence, human rights, and the sort.  But some argue that China has helped the Tibetans better integrate into the modern world, better education, better economic situation.\n\nI really don't like China's policy of forcing trading partners to agree to the "One-China Policy" which denounces Tibetan, Taiwanese, or Xinjiang independence.  China's just so big and has so many people that it can produce cheaper than anyone else.  Our western countries, the "beacons of democracy" of the world, would rather have cheap chinese products than stand up for the freedom of Tibet ("Xizang province of China"), East Turkestan ("Xinjiang province of China"), and Taiwan

Until the invasion of China into Tibet in 1959, Tibet has been a sovereign country for centuries. Being forcefully overrun by an other country is rarely pleasant, but for the Tibetans it turned into a real disaster in the years following the take-over. People died during the invasion, although few Tibetans (being Buddhist) fought. Later consequences of Mao's policies proved devastating to the country.\nFor example, the central Beijing government ordered that certain crops should be grown in Tibet. Many of these crops were simply not suitable for the high altitude climate, resulting in many Tibetans starving to death.\nPossibly the best known disaster is the fact that in Tibet nearly all culture, philosophy and education was tightly related to Buddhism. As in Mao's China religion was considered a poison to the people, Tibetan Buddhism was almost literally wiped out. Of the estimated 6,000 monasteries, nunneries and temples only a handful were not fully destroyed. Monks and nuns were forced to break their vows and often killed if they were not prepared to break them. With the destruction of Buddhism, nearly all of Tibets cultural identity also vanished.\nHis Holiness the Dalai Lama is probably the best known propagator to a peaceful solution for the preservation of Tibetan culture and religion, but the Chinese authorities have managed not only to ignore his efforts, but to virtually bully the rest of the world into silence on the subject. (Often along the lines of: "If you want to trade with us, shut up on human rights." This method even bullied the Americans into submission....)\n\nconsidering china's population & weapons, do you think tibetans can defend themselves, even without buddhism?\n\nCould we say that the non-violent approach of the Buddhist Tibetan poeple may have provoked more violence to themselves, to the point of actually loosing their culture, and the teaching of non-violence in itself ?\n\nWar is out of date, obsolete. (dalai lama)\n1st realization: changing, decaying is inevitable.\n\nMany Buddhists have refused to take up arms under any circumstances, even knowing that they would be killed as a result. The Buddhist code that governs the life of monks permits them to defend themselves, but it forbids them to kill, even in self-defence.\n\nFor Buddhist countries this poses the difficult dilemma of how to protect the rights and lives of their citizens without breaking the principle of nonviolence.\n\nThe pure Buddhist attitude is shown in this story:\n\n    "A Vietnam veteran was overheard rebuking the Vietnamese Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, about his unswerving dedication to non-violence.\n\n    'You're a fool' said the veteran 'what if someone had wiped out all the Buddhists in the world and you were the last one left. Would you not try to kill the person who was trying to kill you, and in doing so save Buddhism?!'\n\n    Thich Nhat Hanh answered patiently 'It would be better to let him kill me. If there is any truth to Buddhism and the Dharma it will not disappear from the face of the earth, but will reappear when seekers of truth are ready to rediscover it.\n\n    'In killing I would be betraying and abandoning the very teachings I would be seeking to preserve. So it would be better to let him kill me and remain true to the spirit of the Dharma.'"

Old history, but if the Chinese was not challenged in Korea, you would be living the a very communistic world.  Of course since democracy stood up and faced communism, now even communism has almost disappeared and replaced by capitalism.

Why don't hand over Tibet to Dalai Lama and his followers called Buddhist. Free Tibet right now.  Kashmir is divided into 2 parts one occupied by India and second part is with Pakistan.  Majority of Kashmiri are Muslims.  Let Kashmiri decide whether they want a seprate state named Kashmir or they want to join with Pakistan.  They have decided not to live with India.\n\nYou idea is full of mischives or misunderstanding.  Do not avoid facts nor try to hide them.  Be realistic what your inner says.
