I would expect a Serbian apologist to defend China's official
story of its Tibet problem.
After all, if China fights "lawbreakers" in Tibet, why can't
Serbia do the same in Kosovo?
Well, China's official story is a little different than Serbia's. Kosovo has actually been engaged militarily, and, to my knowledge, they actually committed acts of terrorism against Serbia. The Tibetan movement is considerably less violent, at least from what I understand.

But yes, both illustrate the same fundamental problem.
Chinese nationalists say something like, "Tibet and elsewhere will be decided on China's national priorites alone, not some pressure group's."

Here's a decent link for news updates:
