Interesting fact about China

I just found out that for people in chine stop lights are not important at all. I think it is very interesting that in such a cosmopolitan and heavy populated areas like Hon Kong and Beijing and other cities drivers do not drive according to regular rules....They drive how ever they want to, and of course in their country there is no such a thing like pedestrianise have the right of way.

Chinese government is trying to get rid off native Tibetian people...

The Chinese government increasingly encourages Han Chinese to migrate to Tibet, offering them higher wages and other inducements. This policy is threatening the survival of Tibetan people. Tibetans are becoming a minority in the TAR. Yearly, thousands of Tibetans still flee from Tibet, making the treacherous journey over the Himalayas into a world of exile. (freetibet.org)

Repression of Tibet destroys religious beliefs

Religion has always been a most important aspect of Tibet and people of Tibet. Their whole community is based on their beliefs and their religion. As a consequence of China’s occupation, both before and during the Cultural Revolution, 6000 monasteries and nunneries were destroyed in Tibet and religious leaders, monks and nuns persecuted. The repression of Tibet's culture and religion continues today with 80% of political prisoners being monks.  Before, and especially during, the Cultural Revolution, all but eight of six thousand monasteries and nunneries were destroyed, religious artifacts and scripts burned, monks and religious leaders imprisoned and tortured.

If you can only speak Tibetan in Tibet, you have no future...

People of Tibet face many difficulties and restrictions, one of them is education. There is a big dilema between sending your kids to Tibetan Schools or to Chinese Schools. As it explains on freetibet.org "....Parents who want their children to have any chance of competing against Han Chinese migrants for educational and employment opportunities know that they must become fluent in Chinese..." But some parents want their kids to know their culture, which can also be dangerous: "...For those parents who desperately want their children to grow up proud of their own identity, the ‘highway’ is the only option – going with or sending their children on the dangerous journey into exile to India where they can be educated in Tibetan and allowed to practise their religion without restriction. The journey, over the Himalayas, takes many weeks with the constant threat of injury or capture by Chinese border guards..."

UN addressing issues of China and Tibet

The United Nations and international community have done very little to address the core issue of China’s illegal occupation of Tibet. China represents an enormous market and cheap labour force, and its associated businesses have such a strong lobby that officials are reluctant to take substantive measures. Since western countries adopted policies of so-called “constructive engagement” with China in the 1990s, the human rights situation in Tibet has only deteriorated. In November 2008, the UN agreed with Free Tibet's report on torture, clarifying that it believes that torture is 'widespread and routine' in Tibet. (from freetibet.org)
