I traveled to China last summer, but didn't make it to Tibet because of the Olympic riots...your entries just make me want to go back even more!!!

I do not agree . China is not a colonizer. Acturally, it is one of the four countries that have never been colonized by the west. You are right. China will not give up Tibet. But the reason is not because of its big mass land, or Tibetans might have been wiped out since China's Tang Dynasty(around 640 AD), like what American Indians had been through. If you understand China well enough, you will know China is not a country but a civilization. A civilization that people with various cultures could live harmoniously together and share a name. Speaking of culture, "the job options for Tibetans are either a nomadic herder, a monk or working in the tourist industry"---- I think that is pretty much what a nomadic group does. A train systerm will change its culture, yes, and its economy at the same time, whether it is from Beijing or not. Finally, the kid in your story is really cute. But where do you think the money that Shanghai turns in to the central government every year goes to? It is not fair. I do not agree .
