Good point.The CCP marched into Tibet in 1950. When did they raise the several hundred million people out of abject poverty?

Why did the Communists first address the Hans plight and then, after considerable time, address the minorities.

In 1950, it was still colonial times and breaking. How much of Asia was out of abject poverty?

Must look at the times then and not apply today's context to judge history!!

Apples and Oranges!!
