No idea, but we must protect our own interest
We must balance equality and efficiency, in today's phase, China need more efficiency than equality, so some personal rights might be sacrificed a bit. with the development of China's economy, more equality should be taken into consideration.

Promoting freedom and democracy to poor countries can only damage them.
because to rich they are luxury, to poor they are poison.
have you ever heared a poor country became rich by adopting freedom and democracy?
On the contrary, all successful Aisan coutries enjoy their fast growth in their
autocratic era, after democratized, the growth rate slowed down.
Do you know three gorges dam? to build it, millions of residents have to leave home.
I believe many many unfair things occured, but now the dam accomplished and begin
to serve the country. I heard in a democratic country, people decided to build a
cloverleaf junction, then the long journey of debate, discussion, lobbying began...
up to now, the cloverleaf junction is still on blue print:-)
that can tell the difference between eficiency and equality.

Most of Tibetans live happily in Tibet autonomous region of
China, enjoying a better and better life, they don't want independence.
but a small group of separatists determined to split Tibet from China,
tell me, who's human right we have to protect?

Japan has never been richer since it adopted democracy, taiwan would also be an example, south korea would be another, or how about america which just so happens to be the richest nation in the world?
The list is endless!
now for the list of countries that dont have democracy that have crappy economies, vietnam, north korea, too many african countries to name, im sure there are a few more asian countries in there without democracy that suck aswell, what dont you see about the correlation between freedom and economic success?
You are depriving yourself of choice, the backbone of economic success.

As I have posted on this thread links to,
It is impossible to get a Visa to Visit Tibet at the moment, so how would I do this?
As I have spoken tonight and many times before on a face to face basis with Tibetans themselves I will take their conversations as fact as I am unable at the moment due to the Closure of Tibet to anyone by the PRC.
PS why do think I have not been to Tibet already?

So you have been to Tibet, I hope you can persuade them that they are living
in hell on earth and should go with those separatists.
