I bet if it was somewhere like a Muslim Nation building in occupied land, the UN would br doing all sorts and the US would condem it. Iraq wasn't allowed to ocupy Kuwait long enough to build anything!
Seems economic power does buy imunity from international laws.

You could add many other examples to the list. Russian atrocities in Chechnya come to mind.
Aye. But Chechnya isn't a seperate nation... it never has been and it couldn't support itself anyway. Rebelling was stupid, especially as it is full of oil. It'd be like Norfolk breaking away from the UK - foolish.
Plus the Chechen rebels are hardly nice people. But, it does have two sides - and they Russians have been brutal. Overly so to be honest - but one thing Putin has done since in power is to take alot of steps to resolving the problem - terror has died down except for the Hospital and the terrible attrocity School Seige, which done no end of damage to Chechen-Russian relations. (Thanks, Chechnya.)
But Putin has managed to stabalise the reigon somewhat.
boo hoo, some more poor chinese folks will move into tibet....how terrible..
Really?
Cos the protests are about the immigration of chinese into tibet :dunno: The railway itself, minus the immigration part, will do a lot of good for tibet...the only negative part, according to the protesters is the immigration..
Culture, religion and race? :eek2:
Yes, but the problem is that China illegal occupies Tibet, and this won't JUST be fair immigration - it will be like Turkey and Cyprus - they will just move people in and take the land.
China is over populated. So, move people out into other land. First, you need to take the land to do this with.
Ah, Tibet. Perfect.
Can I ask how you know this?
Yeah, what I thought.
And Subject, Iran could nuke Israel and argue it's OK because it doesn't think Israel exists so it couldn't nuke it.
TBQH, Tibet WAS a free Nation before and had been for a significant amount of time.
Therefore, leave it alone.
The Chinese are never, ever, under any circumstances ever going leave Tibet, it is no longer a free nation, if it is even a nation at all? I mean is it a nation if it has no government, representation or anything that can be called its own? Is it not now just a conquered piece of land that has been swallowed by the Red tide?
the 'invasion' is highly contraversal, is tibet a soveriegn state or a seperate nation?
Is a one party socialist republic classed as a dictatorship? Im not savvy enough with government terms to know that for sure...
How long have China had hold of Tibet now? Theres never been any danger of them not having a firm hold of it...Their military power sees to that..They dont need to do this in order to keep hold of it...
I think people here are only seeing this from their own perspective..IE tibet is a seperate nation being oppressed by the chinese....take a look at it from the chinese point of view...just for a moment...They see it as part of china already and have done for an awfully long time. In their eyes, they dont need to make it part of china by importing chinese because its already filled with chinese..
They see it as just developing part of their own nation...Just like they are doing in lots of other provinces.
This rail link connects "Tibet and the rest of the country [meaning China]". Perish the thought that the impartial BBC would support China...
