Ethnic Cleansing of Tibetans?

Ethnic Cleansing of Tibetans?

The Title of the above article is:China Declares People's War in Tibet.

For me, in studying China over 50 years since I was ten years old this translates into only one thing:
Extermination of any Tibetans still loyal to the Dalai Lama and ancient Traditions.

It is a travesty that the Olympics should continue at this point. China has just demonstrated that it is not a civilized nation by participating in the conscious extermination and/or imprisonment of an ancient people and their traditions and beliefs.

China is by no means the only nation like this. There is also Burma, North Korea, Iran, and a few others. It's just that China is scarier than most. There might be some that say that America is scarier and I suppose that is a matter of opinion. I think the biggest difference would be that americans don't treat people who live in what is considered to be their own country this way, at least not in the last 100 years or so.

I wrote in another article that China is facing similar problems to the old Soviet Union in the 1980s. I seriously believe that all the presently unhappy ethnic groups inside of present day China are not governable without losing both the business and the trust of the rest of the world. Unless China sets free the Tibetans, the Islamics and a few of the other extremely unhappy ethnic groups in China, I do believe that China will collapse as a nation much in the same way that the old Soviet Union did. I believe this could happen anytime from now on.
