Democracies believe in individual freedom of choice. India or South Korea would not shoot someone who wanted to leave the country. That is a feature found only among dictatorships and tyrants. So North Korea probably would, I doubt Pakistan would though, but I suppose it's possible.

As an American, I can travel to any country that is willing to have me. I DON'T have to ask "permission" from my government. Where I go and how I choose to live is a decision I am perfectly capable of making for myself.

It's not about the incident. It's about Tibetans who don't think of themselves as Chinese and who's doing everything they can so they don't have to be Chinese. That goes against your assertion that Chinese is all emcompassing. This proves it is not.

That actually goes counter to your claims. Singapore is made up of 3 peoples (the Malays, Indians, and Chinese), none can claim dominance. Is Singapore Chinese? Not by a long shot.

Interesting enough, I myself am actually a product of different ethnic groups in China While in Shanghai sometimes people think that I'm from Xinjiang autonomous region, which they learn to be a palpable mistake when I speak Sichuan dialect to them.

Well, it's pretty inappropriate to try to apply the modern ideas or fantasies to the ancient history. Back then probably every ethnic group did regard others as foreigners.

Let's face it - the integration of different ethnic groups is a GOOD thing. But this good thing didn't start happening as however early as you would wish it to have.

BTW, the discussion is now well off the original topic.

Hey, that's pretty good for you~

Maybe you have already noticed that lots of Tibetans are living in Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan?

Ethnic groups don't necessarily "need" to be "integrated" with other ethnic groups for it to be a "good thing". Why exactly was "Russification" a good thing? That was "integration" by force, NOT integration by fascination with other cultures (like why sushi, is so popular in America for instance).

Here's my quick point: Integration is ONLY a good thing if the people who are being "integrated" want to be integrated. Freedom is THE central issue here. As it should be with any debate on "integration" being a good thing.

I find it fascinating that people can write things like this:

"Well, it's pretty inappropriate to try to apply the modern ideas or fantasies to the ancient history. Back then probably every ethnic group did regard others as foreigners. Let's face it - the integration of different ethnic groups is a GOOD thing,

--and, still have some concept of "respect for foreign cultures?".

I'm assuming you're talking about the "good" aspects of Han Chinese flooding Xinjiang and Tibet, in an attempt to "pacify", or at least outnumber the original inhabitants.

Two different issues. One discusses the history which has no bearing for respect, just what happenned. The other is more indulgence.

They are not one people,but it, unenibe they are descendents of British empire.They share the same root.Furthermore,the relation between Mongolian and Chinese equal to that between Scotish and English who are two different tribes but they share the same country.
