Do not compare Tibetans to Native Americans. I respect the last one but
those of Native Americans who live in USA didn't have an ancient country
with the alphabet and diplomacy which had lasted from the 1st millenium of
Christian Era. Also, they didn't have neither Tanjur and Kanjur nor
another
book printed in their language in the 14th century.

Tibetans were not on the barbarian stage of development before the Chinese
invasion, quite contrary they actually had one of the longest-living
civilizations in the world, older even than many Northern European
countries. They have their own alphabet as a main writing system whereas
China can't still manage without the Hanzi ideograms.

They have only their Mongolic race and the language leage common to Han,
but
also to Bhutanese, Burmans and Thai people which have their own
independent
countries. The CCP claims to Tibet are no more legitimate than the claim
of
the Qing to Mongolia or the English claim to India.
