I think the best thing for tibet is to change those free tibet signs to "talk to TIbet"
But either way TIbet is a part of China and thats the reality of it.
Tibet's independence means Xinjiang would call for it....followed by the other autonomous
China isnt a monoethnic country~ There are 56 “official” nationalities spread out across 22 provinces (including Taiwan) and 5 autonomous regions
Though the majority of the population are the Hans
The unrest in Tibet are mobs attacking Han businesses and even Hans themselves
It not a simple "Tibetans have the right to choose"
You have factor in the other social conflicts that revolve around the issue and even the history in Tibet.
How often is it mentioned that feudalism use to be the system in tibet?
Where only a few individuals ruled over the majority of the population that were illiterate?
The Dali Lama acknowledged that his country needs to modernize and they require the help and co operation of China
but they dont want to modernize with han influence losing their culture in the progress...thats why hes calling for the middle way approach

Honestly how does stopping a flame free Tibet???
It just pisses off every Chinese citizen that a bunch of people, who have no moral right in the first place, are telling them(Chinese) to do something about a region they(protesters) know nothing about.
