Tibet

What in the world is China's problem with Tibet? I can understand why they wanted Hong Kong back and why they want Taiwan - although I think they should leave Taiwan alone. How does controlling Tibet benefit them? How would letting it go hurt them?

I can certainly understand why Tibet wants autonomy. Who would want to be ruled by the Chinese government? I mean if they had a choice. Even the far left of this country won't go for that, they want to be the ones calling the shots. It's no fun being a communist if you're not in control.

Anyway, the Dalai Lama is prepared to face china.
