I think the Chinese view the Tibetan mission as one of colonization and modernization, while violently putting down groups opposed to Chinese rule. Their internal media, at least, views it as a humanitarian mission, not genocide.
Don't know who's right. Could anyone point out information that China's goal is the elimination of the Tibetan people, instead of rule over them? Seems like they could have finished by now if they just wanted to kill them all.

- jacoblyles 18y agoSure. I'm just asking for some factual clarification here. Is the point of the Chinese mission to rule Tibetans, or to kill them all? Neither is a nice thing to do, but there is a difference in degree of how mean they are.
- stcredzero 18y agoIt's not just to rule, but also to obliterate their "inferior" culture. So we Americans did more killing, ideologically, we aren't much different.
