TIBET: Why does CHINA want to KEEP IT so BADLY? - VisualPolitik EN

Tibet is the poorest region in China. For centuries, they had a political system based on a kind of feudalism mixed with a Buddhist theocracy where the Dalai Lama was the religious and political leader. But all of that changed in 1950, with the Chinese invasion led by Mao Zedong. Since then, Tibetans have suffered constant human rights violations and marginalization from the Chinese Communist Party.
But you already know this. Few causes have gained more political support worldwide than “Free Tibet”. The current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize and Hollywood stars like Richard Gere have been very vocal supporting the independence of Tibet from China. Meanwhile, Beijing is not willing to give up on this. They have turned Tibet into a symbol. And all of this is surprising given that this region has a very small population and has been virtually isolated from the rest of the world for centuries.
Why does China care so much about this? And why does the rest of the world care so much about it too? In this video, we will answer all of these questions.

They forced China under the barrel of the gun to sign away areas into the Wests spheres of Empire and especially to keep China weak and divided. They continue this policy on China by stirring up trouble, turn brother against brother and interfere in the internal affairs of China. Imperialism and Colonialism is still alive.

@@spartanconscience2693 how can china is been for the past 1000's of year's man? It's the dynasties which flourished or expanded apart from chinese dynasties expansionism in Tibet, Tibet was also an integral part during Mongolian dynasties rule, few ancient Western dynasties rule, even Tibet was a part of ancient Indian dynasties for several thousands centuries. When Gautama Buddha founded Buddhism from India he travelled to other parts to preach his principles for peace and better life we Indians didn't forced him to be in India & teach from here, it was his choice to go & help other people from miseries & sorrow to make the world a better place we Indians to keep some of his principles in our day to day life. I completely agree with you that the euro's came to Asia as to do trade but they ruled our land by partitioning our lands brotherhoods, & made atrocities they didn't even ruled china they also ruled some parts of Africa, southeast Asia & Indian Subcontinent, & people of those respected region's fought against the euro's for freedom even in WW-2 Japan invaded chinese, Korean, & Southeastern Asian regions they to made atrocities. With the end of WW-2 imperialistic ruling, dictatorial dominance & expansionism invasions are not going to be able to make the world a better place, you know Tibet declared itself a independent region in 1910's at that time even the britishers agreed to the Tibetean territorial integrity & soverginity, same goes after the WW-2 Tibet made it clear that it is an independent nation.Just because the euro's in 18-19th centuries & the Japanese in WW-2 invaded your chinese lands, looted your money, resources, separated your communities, forced to rid of the ethnical races, did atrocities to your women & childrens doesn't mean that you the chinese expansionist communist nation does have a right to do what ever you want, invade where ever you want, do ethnical genocides like you want, show racial discrimination how much you want just on the basis that your nation is 1st country to join the UNO & one of the 5 countries to have a veto power so for all your illegal actions nobody will question you? We are now in the post WW-2 time it's better to stop declaring every inch of land of other countries, give back the land taken from India( akasi chin, shakkam valley Pak occupied Kashmir Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh will be forever part of India) Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, Russia, North Korea, Japan, Vietanam, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Mongolian If you think that on historical basis & fact all the separated land from china by other forces should be part of the the chinese land, then we Indians have a complete proper historical facts, proofs & basis to reclaim our separated land Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Mayanmar some parts of the the Iran are under the rule of Indus valley civilization, Suryavamsha, Mauraya, Kushan Gupta dynasties, chola dynasties expanded upto Vietanam, Malaysia, Indonesia before the Muslim invasions, We have a full historical, religious, ethnical rights to reclaim our our land, if our separated land were United it will be a a separate continent instead of that we choosed to accept the things as the were & working hard for global development and peace which Gautama Buddha wanted to see the world making it a better place but your chinese dictatorial expansionist communist rulers are just making hell out of the world. Physical, psychological, social & emotional genocide on other minorities & ethnical groups in china silencing the media & press who tries to question the government (in ever country media & press should have rights to question the government which works as a mouthpiece of the public not your communist govt). Communism is the power of the people ordinary people, farmers not those people who uses communist propaganda to brainwash people & secretly loot money from the people by living in skycrapers, every race has a right & freedom to live in this world, this world is for all not for your just han ethnic community. First stop eating animals & then you all will get the ability to think about humanity & the world. Communism is biggest virus and the evilest threat to this world.

@@saikalyanIND I am a patriot. I have nothing to do and despise politics as all true patriots should do. I only speak on a nationalistic level. I agree with you about Communism though. You can show me your version of history all you like. China has a historically documented existence that goes back many thousands of years. Tibet does not. Its language is not a language but a Chinese dialect. One more thing China's existence is well documented in our Ancient Greek texts that date back to 3000BC. One thing I cannot understand is why it is not officially documented. But then again politics may be the reason. It does hide and pervert the truth. Tibet as a separate or even as a word is never mentioned. Just because some group of people from Tibet agreed with the Europeans on promises of power and money to start calling themselves an ethnically different group of people with a different language, culture and customs is a lie.

"strategic reasons" just sounds like a catch-all term that reveals nothing. So does 'economics'. So that list being just 7 items long seems rather artificial, since the only reason it stops at that is cos you've lumped a bunch of things together. In this case, the reason is in order to control the source of myriad rivers, as well as mineral resources. It's also a great buffer region. That's 3 distinct reasons. Lumping them together hides more than it reveals. And do the former two (the third is more obvious) fall under 'strategic reasons', or 'economics'? And why can't it fall under both? Etc. Why not just drop the opaque categorization and speak of the reasons themselves?

Distorted video and video presentation. China ruled Tibet from the Qing Dynasty (just search the map of the Qing Dynasty), the Republic of China inherited it and then the People's Republic of China inherited it. In fact the Dalai recognized Chinese rule and the reason for the conflict was that the Chinese government wanted to overthrow the Tibetan slavery system, hence the feudalism written in the introduction, slavery to be precise, and the emancipation of a large number of slaves (just search for Tibetan serfs). The Dalai lost his rights and that's why he opposed the rule.

One word: Water China controls tibet because all of the water that flows to india, pakistan Bangladesh and south china sea nations. Because of this, it can bully its downstream nations because of this as it can build dams along the rivers which restricts the water flow. This can cause serious droughts downstream if china decides that a nation has crossed it. They can also cause extreme flooding by releasing the water. The area also has a large amount of natural resources that are rare earth metals including gold, platinum, etc. If china also looses this area, china looses its leverage against india, the second biggest threat to china after the USA due to its huge man pool and rapidly growing economy. In the future their will undoubtedly be a war between india and china if china refuses to act as a responsible country that shares water resources with downstream nations. This is an unavoidable war if China continues on its path. The war will be bloody, but china will likely loose due to the number of countries in support of china being low, but the number of countries against it being high. Pakistan will likely not get involved as it does not want another war with india and knows that it will suffer if it sides with china.

It being declared the capital of both israel and Palestine, but also as an independent country, but administrative regions being set up in tel aviv and somewhere in Palestine. The area is governed by 200 members elected by Palestine and Israel in a 100/100 split. The goal is to maintain all structures of religious significance both for christian, Israeli, muslim and other religions. The military is banned, but protection is provided by the UN with peace keepers. All citizens have nationalities of Israeli or Palestinian as well as Jerusalem. Laws are provided by the 200 person council and if prejudice occurs then the UN has to step in. Thats the only way i can see peace in that region. Neither wants the other to control it, and so neither should control it especially with one side having leverage over the other.

You didn't talk about Panchen Lama, he is second to Dalai Lama, he's the guy who finds or confirms or introduces the new reincarnated Dalai Lama when the current Dalai Lama dies and vice versa. The CCP kidnapped the current Panchen Lama in the 90s and installed a han chinese in his place. Their plan was, when the current Dalai Lama dies they will just get the Panchen Lama (the one they installed) to find a new Dalai Lama and you can see where this is going. But the current Dalai Lama threw a curve ball by saying that he will not reincarnate in Tibet and will reincarnate in a western country. This must have really infuriated the Chinese. 😂😂😂 Politics is one thing but kidnapping a 6 year old child for political reasons in just disgraceful. Panchen Lama was 6 years old when he was kidnapped. The Chinese have kept him undisclosed since 1995 or so they say.

[@Oberoy248]

He has forgotten to mention some critical facts of which the most important, that India gave asylum to the Dalai Lama and due to this India even had to fight a war with China in 1962 which resulted in India losing acres of land in the disputed Jammu & Kashmir region, which resulted in China being a third party having control over parts of the disputed Jammu & Kashmir region. And it was not the Dalai Lama alone, there was also a sizeable number of his followers who came along with the Dalai Lama seeking asylum. Even though the Tibetan culture is not being followed in China, it is strictly being followed in India under the Dalai Lama and hence India is helping them preserve their culture. The Indian government has even allocated acres of Land to the Tibetan Buddhist community across various states and they are living as refugees in India. There are also rumours that the next Lama the Tibetan Leader, will not be from China, instead he could very well be chosen from India (although I agree with your comment that he could also be a westerner), outside of Tibet.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Qing Dynasty collapsed and the territory was ruled by the Dalai Lama who imposed a brutal slave society whereby most of the population were enslaved and almost all properties were owned by a small elite group of people.

The Dalai Lama served a dual roal as not just the political leader of Tibet, but also as the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. As a Buddhist monk, he was not able to advocate for violent resistance against the Chinese occupation at the time it happened, which arguably may have been the optimal response from the Tibetan people to preserve their freedom. This shows the value of separation of church and state. The Dalai Lama himself realized this several years ago, when he resigned from his role as the political leader of the Tibetan Government in Exile (aka Central Tibetan Administration) based in Dharamsala, northern India. He's still the religious leader of the Tibetan branch of Buddhism, but no longer is he also the political leader of the Tibetan government, such as it is.
