Tibet has maintained a unique culture, written and spoken language, religion and political system for centuries.

            What didn't you like about the page? I found it really informative; it gives quotes from Chinese, British, Tibetan sides. Like I didn't know that "China makes no claim to sovereign rights over Tibet as a result of its military subjugation and occupation of Tibet following the country's invasion in 1949-1950"; I'd thought they thought of Mao as communizing the country.

              I liked the part where they casually gloss over the history of the slave system instituted by the Tibetan monk-king theocracy, or the alarming radicalization perpetrated against Tibetan expats to turn them into zealous terrorists against their home country.

        The 13th Dalai Lama had freed most of the slaves before the Maoist invasion, from what I've read. If you have contrary sources I'd be interested.

        It seems 100% certain that any vestiges of slavery would be reformed away by now without annexation. Do you support annexing other countries with slavery like Mauritania?
