Hi linsi,

Your question, “may i ask why the young tibetan generation don't want to be a apart of china?”

Here’s my concept:

When the Chinese invaded Tibet, a vacuum occurs. We all know, before the invasion of Chinese troops, Tibet is an isolated, mountainous large independent nation with very few population not to mention the people are very religious, peaceful loving people and has no standing army. This region is land lock and needs either China or India for access to Oceans and the world. Communications in those days are limited before the Chinese invasion. After the invasion the Chinese control Tibetans and again the access to outer world is limited. The invasion of Chinese create refugees including Dalai Lama himself. When repression occurs in a very big way it is natural humans tend to find refuge from repression thus the mass migration of Tibetans into neighboring nations namely, Nepal, Bhutan and India occur. In fact the Tibetans are now spread out throughout the world. Now, with the advancement of technology, no place is isolated nor inaccessible anymore. The many Tibetans that lives outside of Tibet are free and knowledgeable and had no problem in communicating with their fellow Tibetans that lives under Chinese repression, thanks ot the tech/electronic revolution. Of course the Chinese will try very hard to cut off the communications with the outside world (even today) but in a time like this, it will not be fool proof . The Tibetans see the occupation of Chinese had depleted their cultures, their race and their identity slowly but surely and the new generation of Tibetans mostly outside of Tibet realized their very survival as a different entity is at stake. Dalai Lama is the older generation leader. I understand spiritual leader plays a vital role in Tibetan culture but simultaneously the new concept of younger Generation urge for survival might spawn a different new leader. Tibetans knew their nation, culture and way of life more than any race including the Chinese or Hans or whatever. It is natural to own their own land, practice their own faith and conduct their own culture. Who are we to blame them for that urge?
Look at another South Asian nation for example. Burma/Myanmar. The repression (in Burma’s case it is done by its own Military Generals) done by the repressive regime creates millions of refugees to neighboring countries and beyond. In these migration either in a legal way (with passports) or illegal way the brain drain occurs. In this influx of brain drain scenario, smart brains are also included and plays a major role in the revolution. The effectiveness of these younger generation’s skills demonstrated in September 2007 Revolution is the proof of the changing tactics of human’s quest to overcome repression. The ripple effects of the newer, younger generations of Burmese shock the world with shocking videos and pictures that the regime cannot hide. China copy Burma’s events and protect their interest more effectively. Once in Burma 1988, China 1989 massacre and now in Burma against Buddhist monks in 2007, China against Buddhist monks in 2008. See the trend?
Many people mistaken the American style (ideology) implementation on other nations, cultures. I disagree on that. Of course America shows how they achieve success overcoming obstacles, hardships by freedom and the fruits of freedom which are prosperity, advance technology, business, economic wealth and so on. The modern achievements of American ingenuity, innovations and the freedom to do that implies greatly to attain success and these examples that inspire many nations, cultures alike to try their own style in their own culture, ways and environs. Puerto Ricans never act like Americans for Americans never imposed their culture or life styles on any race or culture. Puerto Ricans have their own life styles, their own cultures and their own land AND also they enjoys the fruits of democratic laws and rules that binds Puerto Ricans and Americans together locking their lands as one nation. Puerto Ricans enjoy being “part” of America.

In short, the love for freedom, the joy of freedom, the value for freedom and the implementation of freedom does produce a strong bond that gives these 2 separated lands/peoples as one nation. In other words Puerto Rico is “part” of USA and USA is part of Puerto Rico.

I want to say something. Freedom does not belong only to Americans and America. Freedom belongs to ALL humans, ALL nations regardless of culture, region, race or religion. Freedom is universal and Freedom is human’s birth rights. When a baby is born before he/she understand laws, before he/she understands who where what. Before he/she understands anything, he/she is NOT born to be exploited or abuse or oppressed by others. He or she is born free to pursue LIFE, LIBERTY and HAPPINESS.
It is not wise to block with barriers of this that (adults’ agenda/propaganda) for this baby that enters the world freely to decides his/her own destination. Just like many species of animals. ALL off springs are on their own for better or worse when they reach their maturity so why not humans? Humans should be more free for humans are much much more valuable and superior than animals. Are they not?

It is great talking with you linsi. I enjoy very much. Thanxs.

Paradoxan.

P.S. I think something wrong with the site (AO). I mean the technological defects.
