Not content with turning China into the Serbia of the East, bits of which can be cut off willy nilly, the Han (ethnic Chinese in the ordinary sense of that term, and a sizeable ethnic minority in Britain) are being turned into the Jews of the East, with "Tibet experts" and such like popping up all over the place to denounce them as everything short of dirty money-lenders, to accuse them outright of living in someone else's country, and to blame them for the violence against them.
It is one thing to say that there is limited freedom and no democracy in China. But who elected the Tibetan "government in exile"? And who elected the Dalai Lama as a specifically political leader? Even the Pope is elected by somebody. And nobody suggests expanding the Vatican City State to the size or population of Tibet and several adjacent provinces.
