Colonel,
With due regards to your opinion, Chinese Communists were no better than making the people slaves! The diktat of the State was supreme over the individual and that is slavery and psychological torture and a total insult to being a human.
Therefore, Communism was no better than feudalism of Tibet. At least, religion brought solace to the state of the individual which Communism did not give.
Did the Tibetan religion beliefs kill anyone for total obedience? No.
But Chinese Communism did.
Therefore, the idea that the Chinese Communist saved Tibet is misplaced.
Further, let the Tibetans judge themselves and not us as to what is good for them!
The Tibetans in exile are no pansies or the calm chaps that the Buddhist are supposed to be.
