Riots in Lhasa
There are many incorrect data in this paper (see comments below).
What I had written was apparently too China friendly for the 'free press'."----This is real problem: pro-Chinese data are seldom published here and Pro-Tibetan data are strictly prohibited in China.
Tibet was for centuries an autonomous concordat between Nepal and China.---This is not correct. For a centuries it was a free country, then dependent on Mongolian and Manchu, not Chinese empire.
Sometimes China ruled Nepal as well.---Therefore, Nepal should be also a part of China?!
With the fifth Dalai Lama, the religious and the political power were unified under the rule of one person, The Dalai Lama. Tibet became a theocratic dictatorship ---No more dictatorship than Vatican and much less dictatorship than any Communist country.
French woman, Alexandra David-N??el was more successful.---She was a theosophist, scientists do not believe her.
Tibet was not a paradise. Tibet was an inhuman dictatorship!---Again: no more than P.R.China.
The weakened Chinese Qing Dynasty had more and more lost its influence in Tibet.---Qing was Manchu but not Chinese dynasty. China was a part of Manchu empire.
The Chinese evacuated Dalai Lama to the Qinghai plateau where he hade limited rights of move, probably for preventing him from having contacts with the British occupants.---Incorrect. Dalai Lama fled to Mongol land of Kukunor (at that time not a Chinese province!), then migrated to Outer Mongolia (now free country).
The Finnish national hero, Marshal Mannerheim, visited him there in 1907----If we follow your system, Mannerheim was a 'splittist' and Finland must be a part of Russia.
The Chinese decided anyhow to finish with the cruel theocratic dictatorship under which the opponents fell down from Potala.---Really, they wanted to introduce forceably Maoist dictatrship in occupied Tibet.
About 40% of the Tibetans were monks and nuns living as parasites on the rest of the population that had to feed them.---And how many communist officials live 'as parasites'? Every Tibetan family wanted to have an own monk! So Tibetans wanted to have so many monks.
Now China decided that the Tibetans should have the same rights and place in the society as the rest of the country's population. The monasteries should be emptied from their excessively large monk and nun populations.---However, the Tibetans do not want that! They want conduct their traditional life. Communists never asked Tibetans whether they want to live in China or in separate country, or whether they want to become the Han-Chinese.
Tibet could earlier be reached only by some horse trails and was for the rest insulated.---Again: did you ask Tibetans what they want in traffic problems?
In 1959, the young Dalai Lama caused a peoples upraising, using the religion as power since he was loosing his own powerful position.---Really, it was people's uprising against Communist dictatorship.
The possibilities for Dalai Lama to take back his power has diminished and he does not anymore have the population with him.---Nevertheless large majority of the Tibetans like Dalai Lama.
The Lhasa riots where very well prepared. Curriers where crossing the borders illegally for to see Dalai Lama and get his orders. A group of foreign mountain climbers filmed recently across the border an unlucky incident when one of these curriers got shot and another that crossed the border openly declared that he wanted to go to see the Dalai Lama.---All these are not true. No evidence that the riots were prepared (only slogans instead of evidence). Regarding this incident: refugees (not curriers!) tried to leave Tibet to India and were attacked by Chinese soldiers.
