Oh and I'd watch the "sourcing" stuff there, Students for a Free Tibet. Is that your idea of objective material?

The author makes his own case and he certainly does more to substantiate it than to say "I read a Cambridge History of China." So far that is all you have offered. Not even one cite from the almighty source.

I'd like to see you cite where I stated that I had read a Cambridge History of China. Even though I have, I didn't state that.  Obviously you lack critical reading skills.

As for citations, it's a book; not a web page.

And Wikipedia (lol) and several books written by Tibetans (not westerners who never set foot in Asia) and from several Tibetan lamas born in Tibet that I know personally and whose personal testimonies I have read.
 
Using your misplaced logic, I suppose I can now claim supreme knowledge on this subject. While serving as the President of the Chinese Language Club at my university a few years ago, I had the privildge of sitting down for a luncheon with the Dalai Lama's brother and several other Tibetan Monks from the Tibetan Cultural Center in Bloomington.  It was quite a treat and a very enlightening experience. And while I have never had the honor of meeting his holiness, the Dalai Lama, I have been fortunate enough to hear him speak during one of his many trips to Bloomington, IN.
 
See how fun these childish pissing contests are?
