    Even before he lost all credibility, the Dalai Lama said he would drop independence and pursue autonomy for Tibet as a part of China.

    All this is ignoring the wide popular support by Tibetan serfs for overthrowing their Lama masters in the first place.

      It was only recently that I learned China took over Tibet in the 1700s. You would think it happened a decade ago the way people talk about it.

        Yeah, China has a stronger claim over Tibet than the US over its entire territory.
