<quote> There is a list of over one million "missing" Tibetans. </quote> I'm going to call BS on this one. The population of Tibet is only 2.91 million. http

  The Axis powers of World War 2 killed at least 7 million outside of "legal" warfare. Ukraine, Anatolia, Congo, Cambodia, and Nigeria have all experienced genocides of 1 million people or larger. Do not make the mistake of thinking that anything is too monstrous for a national government, particularly one that cannot be held to account by anyone except a strong alliance of other national governments: China, Russia, or the U.S. The population of "Tibet" includes Han occupiers. It is entirely possible that someone has "vanished" more than 1/3 of Zang (Tibetan) in that region. But some Zang also live outside the nominal political borders of Tibet. And due to forced displacement, and the manner in which Beijing handles China's ethnic minorities, like Zang and Uighurs, or even Han peasants, it is also possible that the "missing" people are still alive, but shoved into a bureaucratic black hole that prevents them from communicating with anyone connected to the rest of the world.

  I believe the claimed list of 1+ million missing Tibetans is since 1950 (64 years of time to date).
