China has ordered the resettlement of thousands (250,000) of Tibetans, nearly one-tenth of the population to new “socialist villages”, ordering them to build at their own expense and without consent.

This will happen in Korea about ten years from now.
NK will attack SK and subjugate SK through the help of China. After eating up SK, China will order one tenth of Koreans(the rich, the educated, the politically active) to relocate to camps near Tibet.
China will make special labor camps for the Korean “elite”. Russians have done this to Koreskis. China will do it too. It may be done in the style of Nazi Germany; special movies will be made to entice educated people to voluntarily move to these camps.
Koreans must stick to the US. And, Korea must move closely to the US to keep its independence. Or, Korea may disappear as a nation and these things may happen even earlier than ten years.
boycott Beijing 2008. Human rights. Pollution. Tainted food, drink, and medicine. Money is not everything.
it may naturally fail, given the right wind.
Boycott the Beijing Olympics.
Don’t just talk about, do it.
I’ve boycotted every Olympics since Moscow (I was too young to boycott the ones before that).
I even refused to go to the 92 Olympics in Barcelona even though Freddie Mercury was singing.
Each of us can make a difference if we try.
“…The [Chinese] government calls the year-old project the “comfortable housing program,” and its stated aim is to present a more modern face for this ancient region, which China has controlled since 1950.
It claims that the new housing on main roads, sometimes only a mile from previous homes, will enable small farmers and herders to have access to schools and jobs, as well as better health care and hygiene.
But the broader aim seems to be remaking Tibet - a region with its own culture, language and religious traditions - in order to have firmer political control over its population…
[The Chinese government] is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into road-building and development projects in Tibet, boosting the economy, maintaining a large military presence and keeping close tabs on the citizenry through a vast security apparatus of cameras and informants on urban streets and in the monasteries.
Some Tibetans, including farmers interviewed in the village of Zengshol, say they’re happy to be in better quarters than their primitive, ancestral homes of mud brick. In other villages, Chinese escorts prevented a visiting reporter from speaking with residents…”
I think you’re going to have to give the Chinese Communist government credit for a little more subtlety than Stalin. When the NKVD showed up to move the Chechens and the Volga Germans, I think they gave the people minutes to get their things together before bering packed into the box cars for the trip to Siberia.
Indeed, the Chinese are as subtle as the fake glycerin that comes from China — smooth and innocent looking but deadly all the same. As per this editorial in the Boston Globe:
and the west has enabled the Chinese by greed-driven investment as well.
Perhaps someday China would have the native Tibetans to reside in “reservations” and allow them to operate casinos?
Could just as well have said “President Andrew Jackson is alive in China”

The Free Tibet crowd is full of useful idiots addicted to sound bites, emotional flagellation, and delusional notions of their own intelligence. If the commies wanted to exterminate the Tibetans, they would already be gone.
It may be counterintuitive, but the free Tibet hipsters and the Lamaist ethnic grievance pimps (a hipper version of the Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson brigade) are doing more to inhibit the development of the Tibetan community than the commies are.
The reasons why are long and numerous and complex, but this discussion just about sums it up.

Forced relocation must be a privilege, then.
I can’t believe Jing linked to a post by Mark Anthony Jones, an Australian who used to live in China. Useful idiots indeed. If you’ve never heard of him, check out these links:

Thanks for the hearty laugh, Jing.
Nice beret, though.
Yes, that is true. Jackson is a good example of the sins of America but for what has been done, China shall truly out shine America in its vices only. This is why I consider China to be more like an “America 2.0″ and that is a frightening thing and should be avoided at all costs.
Andrew Jackson was a piker next to the world-class genocide of Chairman Mao.
I think a better analogy for Tibet than Stalin or Andy Jackson would be Korea in the Japanese colonial era (or perhaps the Baltic states in the Soviet era).
The Korean economy was certainly developed and the stardard of living for most Koreans improved but it was mainly as a linkage to the “motherland” rather than for the sake of Koreans.
Comment to Baduk…
China has invaded Korea many times over the past 2,000 years and Korea has been little more then a grave yard to Chinese young men.
Sounds like what the PRC is doing is extremely similar to what Tang did w/Koguryo.
Per the Samguk Sagi, 22nd kwon of the Koguryo Pongi:
“In the opening year of the Yongsun/Yongchun永淳era (682) [the former king] died whereupon the emperor granted him the posthumous title of Chief Minister of the Court of Imperial Regalia and ordered his body transferred to the capital where rites were performed to the left of his tomb at Xieli and in front of the tomb a memorial stele was erected. The [Koguryŏ] commoners then scattered amongst the various prefectures of Henan 河南 and Longyou 右. Some of the poorer amongst them remained in the various former fortresses near Andong fortress. There were some who fled to Silla while others went to live amongst the Malgal or Turkish tribes. And so were the chieftains of the Ko line finally extinguished.”
regarding, WangKon’s post. Yeah, why are the tombs of Koguyro and Baekjae captive kings and generals in places like LuoYang, and people from their kingdom in the ten thousands forced to march to China proper (Han China), and then become sinicized over generations, never returning back to the Korean peninsula ever again?
Who the hell do they think they are?
Stalin?
Babylon capturing Israel?
Romans capturing Carthage?
Even though both my family lines originate with Shilla titles, Shilla is and was a pussy state. They fucked over all Koreans.
