The "independence protests" that we've seen recently are a combination of pro-independence splitists and those who simply want the autonomy they were promised by the Chinese before that agreement was unilaterally revoked in 1959.

More foolishness. Only a ChiCom or a ChiCom apologist would use the word "splitist." (sic)

But again, the true testament to the fact that Tibetans have been far from content under Chinese rule lie in the actions of the people themselves. Ever since the Chinese invasion and occupation there has been substantial popular resistance to Chinese rule in Tibet. This resistance has taken many forms over the years - leafleting, public demonstration, mass non-cooperation, economic boycott, and armed uprising are all forms of protest have been practiced by Tibetans inside Tibet, at the risk of their own lives.

1. The lamest thing I've seen yet on this thread is you trying to pass, "Students for a free Tibet", off as an unbiased source of authority. Obviously you can't find any academic sources to back up your quacky assertions.

 

2. Splitist, secessionist, etc, take your pick.

 

3. If you think the recent unrests are all about independence, you're even further out of your little mind than I thought.
