Interesting. I sympathize with the Tibetans concerning the Chinese dumping of ethnic Chinese into Tibet to "dilute" the Tibetan culture. On the other hand, I sympathize with the Chinese government in trying to prevent an Islamic uprising within their borders. Who wants to see their country broken apart? Wherever there is a Muslim population, unrest breaks out against the ruling non-Muslim government.
