Maybe this is the difference between Western and Chinese. There is a popular saying in China, Tibetan and Han is family. It seems not acceptable for Chinese to “abundant” family members. Chinese people would like to offer what we can offer and at least do something to help our brothers to improve, to grow up. I know it sounds to be stupid to westerners. But it is also incredible to Chinese that westerners may just let their family members go, like Bree in the Desperate Housewife who dumped her own son in a gas station.

Even in case Tibetan refuses to be our brother, China still concerns the fate of Tibet. A prospective and civilized Tibet will do a lot good to China. Considering the long-term interest of China, we can not leave Tibet alone and sit to see they starve!
The popular saying that the Tibetan and Han is family has to be endorsed by the Tibetan to give credence to the saying.

The concept of Legalism, in short, Big Brother is Watching You does reek in your post.

But then, I also accept that Leopards cannot change their spots!
